Using cpap but waking up dead tired

RE: Using cpap but waking up dead tired
I thought the Dreamwear was a hybrid mask. If you were using a mask that doesn't cover your mouth, then yes, it's possible.

RE: Using cpap but waking up dead tired
Thanks so much for your help. I will start the process of finding a mask to hopefully correct my leakage problem. I am a side sleeper, do you have any mask recommendations?

RE: Using cpap but waking up dead tired
I'm a side sleeper too. I can sleep using any type of mask. The pillow needs to provide support to work. I use several pillow types that provide this support. They are a buckwheat filled, a CPAP dog bone shaped foam, and a memory foam pillow. Each one has its own characteristics. I've tried ones like the My Pillow design without success.
