Hi there! I'd like to hear what others in the community have to say, but I wanted to offer up some information via articles in the meantime. I'm sure it can be so frustrating trying to find the proper mask setup. Trial and error are certainly not ideal when precious sleep is involved. Here are those articles!: This one discusses troubleshooting mask problems: https://sleepapnea.sleep-disorders.net/living/cpap-mask-troubleshooting
This one discusses various pillow options depending on your CPAP and sleep styles. It specifically mentions the Sona pillow and how side sleepers may benefit from "higher pitch" and contoured pillows: https://sleepapnea.sleep-disorders.net/living/choosing-pillow
Lastly, this one is a specific review of a mask from a side sleeper: https://sleepapnea.sleep-disorders.net/living/airfit-f30i-mask-review
