What is a Nasal Mask?
CPAP Nasal masks are ideal for people who breathe through their nose and offer the widest range of sizes. They are particularly suitable for people who require high pressures, prefer a smaller mask or are restless sleepers.
Choosing the Right Mask
Choosing the right mask is crucial for the comfort of your therapy. The type of mask that suits you best depends largely on your individual needs and preferences.
Factors that can affect mask comfort include the shape of your face and nose, facial hair, whether you suffer from claustrophobia and whether you breathe through your mouth. Each mask offers different benefits, which you should discuss with your doctor or device provider.
CPAP masks can be divided into three main categories: Nasal cushion masks, nasal masks and full face masks. A full face mask covers the nose and mouth, a nasal mask covers only the nose and a nasal pillow mask sits at the entrance to the nostrils.
It is important to choose a mask that is comfortable, otherwise you may not want to use it regularly. CPAP Discout Warehouse recommends getting a professional fitting, trying several masks, talking to other users and getting reviews online. CPAP Nasal Masks and nasal pillow masks are particularly lightweight and comfortable to wear, but if you tend to breathe through your mouth while sleeping, a full face mask may be a better choice. Masks are available in different sizes.
CPAP Masks and devices are usually compatible, meaning you can combine a mask from one manufacturer with a device from another. However, if you change masks, the settings on your device may need to be adjusted. Mask cushions should be replaced approximately every six months and the entire mask should be replaced every twelve months, as the parts wear and stretch over time, resulting in a poor fit. An ill-fitting mask can affect the effectiveness and comfort of your therapy.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What are CPAP and BPAP masks?
CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) devices are used at home for sleep apnea. They are intended for people who suffer from sleep apnea or breathing problems during sleep. Some masks have magnets that connect the straps to the mask.
Where can I buy another mask?
Many pharmacies, sleep clinics and specialty medical equipment stores offer CPAP/BPAP masks, which are usually available locally or online. However, at CPAP Discount Warehouse, you'll find the best selection and great deals. Visit our website today to find the perfect mask for your needs!
Should I stop using my CPAP/BPAP machine while I look for a new mask?
People who use a NIV (non-invasive ventilation) machine for most of the day and night should not stop therapy while waiting for a new mask. For everyone else, it is generally safe to go one or two nights without a CPAP/BPAP device while waiting for the new mask. However, if the suspension of therapy leads to increased tiredness, driving should be avoided.
