Best Side Sleeping CPAP Masks

Side sleeping CPAP masks are important for your comfort during CPAP therapy. Your sleeping position can impact your sleep apnea treatment. Side sleepers need to consider CPAP masks that are a good fit for sleeping on their side. A poor-fitting mask combined with side sleeping can lead to less than adequate sleep apnea therapy.

Here you can find some of the best side-sleeping CPAP masks. Look at features and benefits to find one that fits your comfort needs.

Sleeping on your side can put extra pressure on certain types of CPAP masks. The result is not only discomfort but a compromise of the seal, reducing the effectiveness of CPAP therapy. Fortunately, there are side sleeping CPAP masks available that are designed to accommodate your sleeping position.

The best CPAP masks for side sleep have a lower profile and unique design making them more comfortable for this specific sleeping position.

• Minimal facial contact design
• Flexible top-of-the-head connection for easy movement at night
• Lower profile

The ResMed AirFit P30i is a lower profile side sleeper CPAP mask so there is a reduced risk of jostling the mask in the side sleeping position. A top-of-the-head tube connection and flexible tubing allow movement of the head at night without disturbing the airflow. The lighter-weight design also reduces facial pressure points, so side sleepers do not have to worry about waking up with marks. The adjustable headgear also lets you modify the fit specifically for your sleeping position.

• Secure fit silicone pillows
• Freedom of movement
• Universal frame to fit many face shapes

The DreamWear Silicone Pillow CPAP Mask is a CPAP mask for side sleepers that shapes to the contours of your face, so you have more comfort in a side position. The silicone pillow cushions provide a secure fit. You can rely on consistency in airflow regardless of your sleeping position, giving you the freedom to change position as well.

• Fleece-wrapped headgear for comfort
• Flexible tubing
• Lightweight design

The combination of a lighter more flexible design and flexible tubing with fleece-wrapped headgear makes the ResMed Swift FX Nasal Pillow CPAP Mask ideal as a side sleeping CPAP mask. The design offers more freedom of movement, and the soft fleece makes the headgear more comfortable in the side sleeping position.

• Designed smaller to accommodate women's facial shape
• QuickFit headgear provides a secure fit
• QuietAir technology reduces noise

The ResMed AirFit P10 For Her Nasal Pillow CPAP Mask is a CPAP mask for side sleepers that is also specifically designed for women. The design is built around the shape of a woman’s face for a better fit. The QuickFit elastic headgear secures the mask and reduces movement that can jar the mask loose during sleep. A flexible tube connection allows changing sleeping positions (left side or right side) while maintaining a secure seal.

• Under-the-nose full face mask design
• AdaptSeal provides a snug, secure fit
• QuietAir diffused venting for quieter sleep

While nasal and nasal pillow masks are preferred for side sleepers, not all patients may find comfort in those options. Sometimes, a full-face mask is necessary due to other comfort needs. The ResMed AirFit F40 Full Face CPAP Mask is the best full face CPAP mask for side sleepers. An under-the-nose design reduces facial contact by eliminating a bulky mask, which can be uncomfortable while sleeping on your side. The AdaptSeal cushion minimizes irritation with a snug fit so movements at night let you sleep undisturbed.
