Not for side sleepers

in RAVE: This is How CPAP Changed My Life

I have tried the Dreamwear mask--my first and only to date. I find I cannot sleep with it, as much as I have tried. The air goes down the sides of your face, therefor you cannot sleep on your side.

    I also am a side sleeper but I have been wearing Dreamwear mask for over 2 years. The magic of the mask makes it perfect for side sleepers, when one side is closed it compensates by sending more air down the other side maintaining your set pressure. Please test it by pressing down on one side so it is completely closed so you can see it work.

    I use a Swift LX for Her. I'm a side sleeper, too. I'm a 5 yr Cpap user. It takes a little finangling to adjust the headgear, BUT I 've found that I far prefer doing this to using a face mask. Don't give up yet. And don't throw it away. You may be able to come back to it later on.
    Good luck!
