Finding the right CPAP face mask is essential for effective treatment and comfort during sleep. Our CPAP specialists can help you select the most suitable CPAP masks for your sleeping style and treatment needs, ensuring you get the most from your therapy.
What types of CPAP masks are available?
There are several types of CPAP masks designed for different needs and sleeping styles. Full face CPAP masks cover both the nose and mouth, making them suitable for mouth breathers or those with nasal congestion. Nasal masks sit over the nose only and are often more comfortable for those who feel claustrophobic with larger masks.
Nasal pillow masks are the least intrusive option, with small cushions that seal at the nostrils rather than covering the nose. Under nose nasal masks sit beneath the nose and are good for those who wear glasses or read before sleep. Both ResMed and Phillips offer options in each category, with various sizes to ensure proper fit.
How do I choose the right CPAP mask for me?
Selecting the right CPAP face mask depends on your breathing patterns, sleeping position, and comfort preferences. If you breathe through your mouth during sleep, a full face mask may be most effective. Side sleepers might prefer nasal pillows or under nose masks as they have less bulk that could press against your pillow.
Consider any feelings of claustrophobia when choosing between larger full face masks and smaller nasal options. The best way to determine which type suits you is through a professional mask fitting consultation. Book a Mask Consultation at your nearest Blooms The Chemist CPAP Specialist Store for personalised advice on finding the right CPAP masks for your needs.
How should I care for and maintain my CPAP mask?
Proper maintenance of your CPAP face mask is essential for effective therapy and hygiene. Clean your mask daily by wiping it with a damp cloth, and wash the cushions and headgear in warm, soapy water weekly. Avoid using soaps with conditioners or moisturisers as these can damage the materials.
Never use bleach, alcohol, or cleaning solutions containing alcohol on your CPAP masks. After cleaning, place your mask on a flat surface to dry, away from direct sunlight which can degrade the materials. Most manufacturers recommend replacing your CPAP mask every 12 months, though individual parts may need more frequent replacement.
What should I do if I'm experiencing issues with my CPAP mask?
If you're experiencing problems with your CPAP face mask such as leaking, dryness, or facial marks, there are several solutions to try. For leaks, ensure you're fitting the mask correctly according to the user guide and check all connections between your mask, tubing, and machine.
If you're experiencing dry mouth, try using a humidifier or increasing its setting. For masks that leave marks on your face, try loosening the headgear straps while maintaining an effective seal. If problems persist, visit your local Blooms The Chemist for a mask fit check, where our CPAP specialists can help adjust your mask or recommend alternatives from our range of ResMed and Phillips CPAP masks.
