CPAP Masks

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a nasal CPAP mask and a full face mask?

Nasal masks cover only the nose and work well for those who breathe through their noses during sleep. Full face CPAP masks cover both the nose and mouth, not the entire face, making them ideal for mouth breathers or those who experience frequent nasal congestion. 

Your choice also depends on your breathing style and sleeping position. We carry options from ResMed, Philips Respironics, and more as part of our genuine CPAP equipment to support effective sleep apnea therapy.

How does my CPAP mask fit properly?

A properly fitting mask should create a proper seal without excessive tightness, minimal air leaks, and no red marks or pressure sores after use. You should be able to achieve your prescribed air pressure without discomfort or frequent mask adjustments during sleep.

Choose the right size for a good seal, and check that the cushion maintains a consistent seal inside the skirt while allowing smooth, pressurized air and steady airflow for effective therapy.

What are nasal pillow masks best for?

Nasal pillow CPAP masks are excellent for active sleepers, those with claustrophobia, or people who wear glasses while using their CPAP device. They offer a lower profile design and minimal facial contact while providing an effective seal and a comfortable fit. 

Many users with this sleeping style appreciate the light feel and open field of view when managing obstructive sleep apnea.

Do you offer different cushion materials for sensitive skin?

Yes, we carry masks with various cushion options, including soft silicone and memory foam cushions that conform to your facial contours. We also offer options like nasal cushions, plus choices compatible with a ResMed mask, for users with skin irritation or those seeking maximum comfort.
