Choosing the right mask depends on your breathing style, sleeping position, facial structure, and comfort preferences. Nasal pillow masks are great for minimal contact, nasal masks offer a balance of comfort and seal, and full face masks are ideal for mouth breathers or those with nasal congestion.

Nasal masks offer a comfortable fit, especially for side sleepers, and deliver effective airflow for natural breathing. They’re lightweight, quiet, and easy to clean. Health-wise, they support better sleep quality, reduce daytime fatigue, and improve oxygen levels, helping manage conditions like sleep apnea and high blood pressure.

If you’re a mouth breather, a full-face mask is usually recommended. Alternatively, you can use a nasal mask with a chin strap or mouth tape to keep your mouth closed.

Leaks can occur due to improper fit, worn-out cushions, or incorrect mask size. Try adjusting the straps, replacing the cushion, or switching to a different mask style.

Discomfort may stem from incorrect sizing, overtightening, or the wrong mask type. Consider trying a different style or using mask liners to reduce pressure points.

Start by wearing it while awake for short periods. Use the ramp feature to gradually increase pressure at bedtime.

Look for masks made with hypoallergenic materials and latex-free components. Clean regularly to reduce skin irritation.

Avoid bleach, alcohol, vinegar, and scented soaps. Use mild, unscented soap or products made for CPAP masks and rinse thoroughly to protect the mask and your skin.

Dryness can result from mouth breathing or low humidity. Use a heated humidifier, adjust your mask fit, or try a chinstrap if using a nasal mask.
