Are the sides supposed to rest on top or above the ears? Do you find the mask uncomfortable when laying your head on its side?

I put the straps over my ears, which has the side benefit of quieting sound that your ears would otherwise capture. I normally sleep on my side and find that it works fine, but it probably depends on what sort of pillow arrangement you use.

I usually wear the mask band high enough so that it doesn't touch my ears much. If it moves around the band goes over my ears but I've become so used to it that it seems comfortable. I also find the mask comfortable when sleeping on my side. However when I first started wearing it I did not. You just have to spend some time getting used to the mask and it seems to also break in a little bit like a comfy pair of shoes.

One can use them both way, on top or above, I suppose it depends on the ear-head shape.The mask is more comfortable than the average ones even when sleeping on its side. I also sleep often on the tummy, thus the head is tilted and it works well for me.

James its an adjustable headgear by the top two strap by the temples of your forehead and the bottom two straps underneath your ears. This Headgear works very well for me as at night my face seems to irritate very easy, but this Headgear doesn't bother me at all so I sleep well with it.

for me, they sit on the earlobes, but otherwise cover the ear completely. fortunately, the headset sitting on the lobe is not uncomfortable at all, i sometime wear them 3-4 hours and its totally ok.

This mask does not put pressure on the top of the nose, but it may on the sides.

I sleep on my side and it stays put no problem. It's off when I wake up but fits well while falling asleep. Also very comfortable. I love it!

It is not like a nasal pillow (only goes in nostrils). The top of the triangle goes on the bridge of your nose and the bottom part is on your chin ("full face" describes that). This fits in the mask, so is a replacement cushion for the ResMed Ultra Mirage mask.

Top part goes over your head and the bottom part goes under your chin. The actual nasal pillows (Not shown) go into your nose. There are various sized of nasal pillow to pick from to get the most comfy fit. This is great for anyone that is a bit claustrophobic. Very light on my face. No problem reading or watching TV. About the easiest mask to adapt to!! I use a chinstrap to keep my mouth shut along with the Optlife. The best thing is no issues with leaks like the other masks!

It's flat on one side and slightly rounded on the other. I sleep in mine and can sometimes feel it if I'm on my side, but I can just adjust the alignment.

i try to keep the name facing up, which seems to be the most comfortable. hope they help!!

The clip does bother me sometimes. I put the mask inside out so it sits on the opposite side when need be. But this is still the best out of all of the sleep masks I have tried and I'm buying a new one since I left mine at a hotel...

I sleep on my side as well. Only reason I noticed any noise at all is because it was mentioned on reviews by those who would obsess over such things. Truth be told, one's own hair makes noise so it is about the same category as that. In other words, the brain ends up overriding these little things after a bit. On the other hand, being that the pillow conforms so well, you end up not moving nearly as much as you may trying to adjust a traditional pillow so I say it's a wash, overall.

It doesn't really work well if you're on your side. It's kind of heavy and it would need to be very tight to keep it in place. I always try propping it up against my face with a pillow but I end up on my back eventually.

it is defined as full face, but it hurts the bridge of my nose that way, so i am using it as a nose mask and it has no air leaks that way, either. in fact, it might even fit a little better that way, with the top of it sitting above the bridge of my nose. i like it that way MUCH better!

This pillow is for side sleepers. You put the side of your face close to one of the side indentations so that your CA mask/hose is not pushed out of position by the pillow. Your shoulder fits in the long shallow indentation on the bottom.I gave mine to a friend because it is non-returnable. It was too hard and too high for me. I am a 5' 6" woman, small frame.

Yes, rather comfortably if you adjust the straps right. The mask material is pretty stiff, so it might scratch? Good luck!

It's quite comfortable, in my opinion. You feel your head completely surrounded, so to speak, which is why it prevents light from getting in. When you move your head around, it doesn't really make noise (I'm not exactly sure what you mean). They send you a pair of earplugs too. Basically, the part of the sleeping mask that covers your ears is just a small supplement to the earplugs. Hope this helped!

over the top of the head and around the chin with Velcro. Didn't work at all for snoring but maybe if you like keeping your mouth shut when you sleep you can use it for that.
