airfit: switching to P30i for side sleeper from P10???
I'd love any input on using the P30i nasal pillows for a side sleeper. I'm about 4-5 months in now with my P10 airfit - I sleep a LOT on my right side and the thing that is driving me a little bonkers is the hose that continually pulls. Yes, I have some tricks: I tuck a bit under a back pillow, etc. but I try to switch for an hour or two to my left and i have to dig out the hose, flip it over my pillows, figure that out -and I always feel the tug and then I'm 'up' in the middle of the night for a while.
My worry is: what do those silicon air pillows feel like when squished because you're sleeping on one side??? Because I"m wondering if the hose on top might be a better fit for me - logistically.
I would really appreciate any and all input on this.
Many thanks.

Left side side sleeper here. Love the P30i
The hose on top is great for rolling from side to side without restriction. I sleep with my head near the edge of the pillow and rarely have a problem with squished pillows or leaks.
I have to use a fairly firm pillow, otherwise using my favorite fluffy down pillow allows my head to sink into it during the night pushing the mask to the side causing leaks from the pillows.
If you do go with the P30i get a fit kit with all three sizes and use the largest size you can successfully seal with. I alternate between large and medium to give different parts of the nose a break. Large sits on there more like a nasal cushion so the seal is pretty iffy, but it lets the inner rim of the nares get a break and still provides good therapy.
