Mask for stomach sleeper - davidtren12 - 10-08-2020
Hi, I just go into CPAP treatment
I got a Resmed Airsense 10 Auto and a Resmed F30 full face mask.
The problem is that I am a stomach sleeper and I have found impossible to fal asleep.
I am currently tring to side sleep, but getting used to the cpap and to side sleeping at the same time seems daunting.
I was wondering what kind of masks would you guys recommend for someone like me? Would a nasal pillow with top exhaust work, or would I block the hoses going up?
I am currently thinking about the resmed p30i or the dreamwear nasal pillow.
Any advice is appreciated, thanks!

Stomach sleeper and former mouth breather here, but there was no chance I'd ever get used to a full face mask. So I started taping and using a p10. After 4 months I was able to stop using tape and still keep my mouth closed at night, which I didn't expect to happen. Then switched to the p30i and find it much better than the p10 since it doesn't protrude outward as much. Good luck!
