Recommended nasal pillows for side sleepers
Hi all
Anyone have recommended nasal pillows for side sleepers that are comfortable yet stay put well in the nostrils when laying on your side?
I have the Resmed Airfit P10 right now, which is super comfortable, however the problem is that, when I am on my side (which is my usual position) and the pressure rises at night when needed, there is some tension from the head strap on the side I'm lying on, and a leak is easily created as the nasal pillow on that side gets pulled a bit to the side/horizontally. Hopefully I'm explaining that well. There is not enough horizontal stability the way the P10 is. If I crank up the tension of the straps, that helps prevent the leak, but then of course its tight and uncomfortable on the nostrils. I am afraid that the P30's would have a similar or worse issue. I guess what I need is an assembly that keeps the horizontal positioning of the pillows in place well. any recs?
I also have a FFM, the F&P Vitera, which is much more stable horizontally and does not really have this issue as much, but is way less comfortable that the pillows.....
thanks!

Ive been using the ResMed AirFit P30I Pillows Mask - Standard. Just got a new one to replace my old one which had gone yellow.
No problem with my side sleeping,but we are all different.

ok, I'll answer my own question , for the benefit of others
After reading multiple reviews, I decided to try out the F&P Brevida nasal pillow mask. 2 weeks in, I am very pleased. It seems to have more lateral stability than the P10's. So if I'm lying on my side and the side of my face and nose is a bit pressed against the pillow, the pillow is not knocking the nasal pillows out of my nostrils, as was happening with the P10. So I am happy with this change. But yes, we are all different, and the fit and performance of each mask may vary from person to person.....

Glad that it is working for you. I was going to suggest the Brevida. I tried it for a while and for some reason cannot use pillows continuously due to excessive irritation but of all the pillows I tried, the Brevida was hands down the best.
