Best Mask for side sleeper and side to side flipper
I am a newbie (4days) and am struggling to get comfortable with a mask. I am a side sleeper and a side to side flipper. In the past, I have had one severe cervical injury and twice my head has slipped significantly off the top of the spine (23 degrees for two months). I am careful about using a cervical pillow and leg pillow when I side sleep. I am using a nasal mask and a heated hose. To keep the nasal piece in place, I must sleep entirely on my back. I tried a pillow mask and it slipped frequently. I can use the nasal mask for 2-3 hours and then my body hurts from not changing position. I unplug and sleep a couple of hours in side position, then I use the mask again for a couple of hours, take it off again and side sleep. I can use the mask for an afternoon nap. I am extremely tired in the morning getting up and down and don't want my sleep to be interrupted throughout the night. SUGGESTIONS?
