Side sleeping / face frame masks

When did you last try the P10?

They've changed the strap so it now has an adjustable clip to properly tighten and loosen it.

I hated the original strap, but really like the adjustable one.

RE: Side sleeping / face frame masks
A follow-up on my results:

I've gotten good results through a combination of changes
1) a smaller pillow
2) making sure the straps are secure
3) Changing my nose piece on a regular basis

and...

4) realizing that some of the noise is due to the top vent from the mask hitting the pillow, making extra noise. If I position my head properly, noise level drops to zero.

RE: Side sleeping / face frame masks
As mentioned, the new P10 has adjustable strap tension (compared to the old version) so that helps, but its not perfect. 
I saw on another post, some people suggest going to a non-official/ non ResMed strap, available on Amazon:

https://www.amazon.com/Upgraded-Replacement-Headgear-Compatible-Airfit/dp/B09ZXVM2PV/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2HTY9Y8NO6URS&keywords=medihealer+B09ZXVM2PV&qid=1685986597&sprefix=medihealer+b09zxvm2pv%2Caps%2C2

I have not tried it yet so far myself though.
