Common Questions

What is a CPAP mask?

A CPAP mask is a medical device that fits over the nose, mouth, or both, and connects to a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine. It helps people with sleep apnea breathe normally at night by keeping the airways open.

What are the main types of CPAP masks?

There are three main categories:

  • Nasal mask: covers only the nose
  • Nasal pillow mask: inserted directly into the nostrils
  • Full-face (oro-nasal) mask: covers both the nose and mouth, useful for people who breathe through their mouth


How to choose the right CPAP mask?

The choice depends on several factors: facial shape, breathing habits (nose or mouth), comfort, and tolerance level. A well-fitted mask should minimize air leaks while remaining comfortable to encourage adherence to treatment.

What common problems occur with CPAP masks?

Users may experience:

  • Air leaks around the mask
  • Skin irritation or nasal dryness
  • Discomfort or a feeling of claustrophobia

Most of these issues can be resolved by adjusting the mask, using a humidifier, or selecting a more suitable model.
