Nasal CPAP Masks

Nasal style CPAP masks cover the nose only with contact points being the bridge of the nose, around the nose and upper portion of the lip just below the nostrils. The masks are typically a triangle-shaped interface that uses a silicone or gel cushion to provide a seal. Nasal masks along with nasal pillow masks are the most recommended style of mask for new users of CPAP therapy. Choosing the style of Nasal Mask is solely a matter of customer’s preference as well as needs. Needs would be determined by normal sleep position, facial structure, claustrophobia, facial hair, and hair style are among relevant considerations when determining which mask style may be needed. Customers that struggle to find the right fit may switch from different styles until the right fitting mask is found. A nasal mask covers the nose, while a nasal pillow mask has pillows or cushions that use the outer rim of the nostrils to form the seal.
