Step 1

How to size

Use the included sizing gauge
A small printed gauge ships in the box
  1. 1
    Find the gauge in the box
    A small printed card with cut-out shapes labelled by size.
  2. 2
    Hold the gauge against your face
    Position the cut-out across the bridge of your nose.
  3. 3
    Read the size that frames your nose comfortably
    The cushion should cover the bridge without touching the tip.

S/MLXL
Step 2

Getting a good seal

A correct size plus light strap tension is the goal. Marks and leaks usually mean the cushion is the wrong size — not that you need to tighten more.

Fit tips for the Philips Pico
  • Usually bought as a Fit Pack with all cushions — try each.
  • The cushion should fit your nose width without blocking your nostrils.
  • Don't over-tighten — that's the most common cause of leaks.
Leak troubleshooting
Air on my eyes
Loosen the upper straps half a turn and shift the mask down a few millimetres. If it returns, try the next size down.
Whistling at the cushion edge
The cushion isn't fully seated. Lift it off your face, let it inflate, then lay it back gently — don't tighten.
Red marks on my cheeks or nose
You're over-tightening to chase a leak. The seal should work at "barely snug". Re-check your cushion size.
Mask shifts during the night
The top strap should sit high on the crown of your head. If it slides, lift the strap higher and re-snug evenly.
Step 3

Cleaning & care

Quick daily wipe, gentle weekly wash. Avoid alcohol-based cleaners — they degrade silicone.

Daily: detach the cushion and wipe with a damp cloth or mild soap and warm water; rinse and air-dry out of direct sunlight. Weekly: hand-wash the headgear and frame in warm soapy water and air-dry. Avoid alcohol, bleach and harsh detergents.
Step 4

Replacement schedule

Cushion: about every 1 month. Headgear: every 6 months. Frame: every 6 months. Replace sooner if the cushion tears, hardens or won't seal. General guide only — follow your clinician/supplier advice.

Time for a fresh mask
We don't stock individual spare parts for the Philips Pico, so when the cushion wears out or it stops sealing well (usually every 6–12 months), the simplest fix is a brand-new mask.

FAQ

Common questions

What size Philips Pico do I need?
Use the included sizing gauge — a small printed card with cut-outs for each size. Hold it against your nose and read the matching size.
How often should I replace the Philips Pico cushion?
About every 4 weeks. Silicone (and especially memory foam) absorbs facial oils and stops sealing properly — leaks that start "out of nowhere" are almost always a worn cushion.
How often should I replace the headgear?
Every 6 months, or sooner if the elastic loses its stretch. Worn headgear is a common hidden cause of leaks.
Can I use this with my current CPAP machine?
Most likely — modern CPAP / APAP / BiPAP machines from any brand work with any mask via the standard 22mm hose connector. Use the Mask Finder to confirm against your specific model.
Do I need a prescription?
In Australia, CPAP masks are available without a prescription — though we recommend buying through a clinician who can match the mask to your sleep study.
These are general guides — your clinician or sleep specialist can confirm what's right for you. We don't provide medical advice.
