Side sleeper using Cpap. Is the traditional full face mask best? Am using a hybrid full face mask and when lying on side, it puts pressure on the tubing from top of head to mask so registers as leak.

That’s the advantage to my newer mask, Resmed F30i, as it has the hose fitting on the top of my head that moves with me. My very first mask was the F20 and I felt claustrophobic, plus it had the hose fitting on the face mask which I didn’t care for.

@akalsas, I'm also a side sleeper using a full face CPAP mask (ResMed AirFit F20) but have also used a hybrid full face mask. What helps tame the CPAP hose for me and keep it out of the way is a hose stand that slides under the mattress and holds the hose above the head. Here's the one I bought on Amazon but they may have them in your local medical store also - https://www.amazon.com/Eliminate-Tangles-CPAP-Hose-Holder/dp/B003UAHWOE
