A well-fitting CPAP mask is essential for effective sleep apnoea therapy. The mask creates a seal around the nose or face to deliver pressurised air from your CPAP machine. If your mask does not fit properly or is uncomfortable, it can disrupt therapy and affect your sleep quality. [Source: Healthdirect Australia]
At Blooms The Chemist, CPAP masks are available in traditional nasal, nasal pillow and nasal cradle from brands such as ResMed and Philips, depending on current availability. Nasal pillow masks feature small cushions that seal at the nostrils, making them one of the least intrusive options available and well suited to those who feel claustrophobic or move frequently during sleep. Under-nose nasal masks fit beneath the nose without covering it, and are available with top-of-head tube connections that can be a comfortable option for active sleepers.

How to choose a CPAP mask
- Nasal pillow masks: The smallest and lightest option. Soft pillows or prongs sit just inside the nostrils, with no coverage over the nose. Well suited to those who feel claustrophobic or move frequently during sleep.
- Nasal masks: Cover the nose only, or fit under the nose. A popular middle-ground option, offering a good seal with less coverage than a full face mask.
- Sleeping position: Side sleepers often prefer masks with top-of-head tubing, which reduces the risk of the tube pulling during the night.
- Fit and seal: A proper mask seal is critical for effective therapy. Blooms The Chemist CPAP specialists can help with fitting in store.
Using your CPAP mask safely
Clean your mask cushion and headgear regularly according to the manufacturer's guidelines - typically daily wiping and weekly washing. Replace mask components (cushions, headgear, frames) according to the recommended schedule to maintain seal quality and hygiene. If your mask is causing persistent leaks, skin irritation or discomfort, speak with a Blooms The Chemist CPAP specialist about alternative options.
