secure airfit P10 against side sleeper?

Another buckwheat pillow user here. I like a firm pillow, which the buckwheat is. As stated above, it is easy to form to reduce pressure on the mask and will keep that shape through out the night.

Just a suggestion for those who are curious to try a different mask but none of these P10 modifications or pillow accessories are necessary with the Brevida mask from my experience. If you are frustrated with these constant P10 headaches give this mask a try. It is as quiet as the P10s and nearly as minimalist.

Both are good mask. IMO the brevida is a bit quieter (air diffuser) than the p10 ,better headgear adjustment (bars) & smoother on your nose (soreness). When my p10 headgear is done, I'm gone try to fix my brevida headgear on my p10 ,almost perfect pillow mask !

I'd like to try the Brevida but read somewhere it might have issues with facial hair?

I've got a trimmed beard and mustache and can get an ok seal with the Brevida - I can also get some leaks from shifting in my sleep, though.

It only comes in two cushion sizes, which is fewer than I'd think it should have. With return "insurance" from vendor #1 I gave it a try and have been reasonably happy with it. Probably going to keep it. Better headgear than the P10, since the Brevida headgear is adjustable - though that is a low bar.
