Have you wondered what the top CPAP masks for side sleepers are? 

You may have been or are considering using a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine for your sleep apnea. Even on our product page, we offer a wide variety of CPAP masks. We know it can be overwhelming!

It takes a while to adjust to wearing any CPAP mask. If you are restless or toss and turn while you sleep, simply keeping the mask in place can be difficult. However, getting the best CPAP mask for your sleeping style will negate a lot of these problems and limit discomfort. 

Best CPAP Masks For Side Sleepers: Nasal Pillow Masks

Although sleeping on your side is beneficial for sleep apnea treatment, comfort tends to be a problem regarding CPAP masks for side sleepers. 

Nasal pillow masks tend to be the better option since their seal covers a smaller area. Nasal-style masks cover all or most of the nose and use low to medium air pressure for a restful experience. Nasal pillow masks tend to be more effective because of their minimalist and lightweight design.

They’re overall less invasive than full face masks and have excellent seals and adjustable headgear so they stay in place.
