Features you could consider with a nasal mask
Nasal CPAP* masks cover the nose or sit under the nose and are held in place with headgear straps. Some may feature stability bars (T-pieces).
You may prefer a nasal CPAP mask if you:1
are an active sleeper
feel claustrophobic wearing a full-face mask
use low to medium pressure settings
have a beard or goatee (but not a moustache)
breathe through your nose when you sleep
prefer to sleep on your side.
There are several different nasal mask designs, all of which are designed to meet your personal preference and sleeping habits.
However, the best nasal mask is the one that provides the most effective therapy, fitting well enough to hold a secure seal and comfortable enough to allow you to sleep through the night.2
Always look for a seal that delivers on security and comfort to help avoid noisy, excessive mask leak. Adjustable mask straps can customize your mask for the best fit possible, while breathable, flexible headgear can help keep you cool throughout the night.
* We refer to CPAP in this instance, but this may also include other positive airway pressure device models such as APAP or Bilevel.
