Hi @me49, I'm happy to see that you've received some good suggestions and information from @timbrownfl. I'm also a side sleeper using a CPAP. The mask is a major hurdle for a lot of folks first starting out with a CPAP. I'm a mouth breather and needed a full face mask. I have tried many different ones that seemed to work for awhile and then just caused issues for me after short periods. The one I've finally gotten used to and can tolerate is the ResMed AirFit F20 full face mask. What helped me tolerate the mask better was a cloth comfort cover recommended by my sleep medicine PA at Mayo Clinic - https://cpapcomfortcover.com/.

Another device that helped me manage the CPAP hose was a stand that held the CPAP hose above the head and off of the pillow to keep it from getting tangled. There are quite a few different brands/styles but I just bought a cheap one that fits on the floor or can slip under the mattress on your bed - https://www.amazon.com/PurePAP-Holder-Stops-Tangles-Improving/dp/B08P2F95QR/.
