How to Choose the Right CPAP Mask

With so many new CPAP masks hitting the market in 2025, finding the perfect fit can feel confusing. Before we dive into our top picks, let's quickly review the key factors that will help you narrow down your options and choose the best mask for your unique needs and preferences.

1. Mask Type

There are several main types of CPAP masks, each designed for different sleep styles and needs. Nasal pillow masks are lightweight and minimal, while full face masks provide coverage for both the nose and mouth. Nasal masks and nasal cradle masks offer a middle ground.

2. Comfort & Fit

A comfortable, well-fitting mask is essential for long-term therapy success. Take the time to measure your face and try on different masks to find the best fit.

3. Breathing Style

If you breathe through your mouth at night, a full face mask is usually the best option. If you breathe primarily through your nose, a nasal or nasal pillow mask may be a better fit.

4. Sleeping Position

Your preferred sleeping position can greatly influence which mask will work best for you. Side sleepers often benefit from minimal contact masks, while back sleepers may find traditional masks more comfortable.

5. Pressure Settings

If your CPAP machine is set to higher pressures, you'll need a mask that can maintain a secure seal without leaking. Full face masks and some traditional nasal masks are better suited for high-pressure therapy.

6. Skin Sensitivity

If you have sensitive skin or allergies, look for masks with fabric or hypoallergenic cushions. Some newer models are designed to minimize irritation and pressure points.

7. Cleaning & Maintenance

Regular cleaning and maintenance are important for hygiene and mask performance. Look for masks that are easy to disassemble and clean.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know which CPAP mask is right for me? +

The best mask for you depends on your sleep habits, comfort preferences, and breathing style. If you breathe through your nose and want a lightweight option, a nasal or nasal pillow mask may be ideal. If you tend to breathe through your mouth or need higher pressure, a full face mask could work better. Our team is happy to help you choose—just contact us for personalized recommendations.

What if my CPAP mask doesn’t fit comfortably? +

If your mask feels uncomfortable, double-check that you have the correct size and style. Most masks come with adjustable headgear and multiple cushion sizes. If you need help, reach out to us and we’ll walk you through fit tips or recommend alternative options.

Are these masks compatible with all CPAP machines? +

Almost all CPAP masks are designed to be universally compatible with standard CPAP tubing and machines, regardless of brand. If you have a travel machine or a specialty device, double-check your user manual or ask our team to be sure.

How often should I replace my CPAP mask and parts? +

It’s generally recommended to replace your mask cushion or nasal pillows every 1–3 months, the frame every 6 months, and the headgear every 6–12 months. Regular replacement keeps your therapy comfortable and hygienic.

What’s the difference between nasal, nasal pillow, nasal cradle, full face, and full face minimal contact masks? +
  • Nasal pillow masks sit just at the nostrils, offering the least facial contact and a lightweight feel.
  • Nasal cradle masks rest under the nose and cradle the nostrils, providing a gentle seal with minimal bulk. This style is great for side sleepers or anyone who wants less on their face.
  • Nasal masks cover the nose and are a versatile, popular choice for most sleepers.
  • Full face masks cover both the nose and mouth, making them ideal for mouth breathers or people needing higher pressure.
  • Full face minimal contact masks seal around the base of the nose and the mouth but use a compact, under-the-nose design for less bulk and a more open field of vision. This type is perfect if you want the security of a full face mask with a less intrusive feel.
Can I try a mask risk-free? +

We offer a 30-night mask fit guarantee on most masks. If your mask isn’t working out, you can exchange it for a different style or size. Contact us for details or to start a return.

What if I’m a side sleeper or move around a lot? +

Many modern masks are designed for active sleepers and have flexible headgear or a minimal profile. The Solo Nasal Pillow and AirTouch N30i are both great options for side sleepers.

Can I use insurance or HSA/FSA funds to buy these masks? +

Yes, in most cases you can use your HSA or FSA for CPAP masks and supplies. Check with your benefits provider for details. We are also happy to provide itemized receipts for reimbursement.

What’s the best mask if I have sensitive skin? +

The AirTouch N30i features an ultra-soft fabric cushion that’s gentle on sensitive skin. Other masks with silicone cushions are also hypoallergenic.

How do I clean my CPAP mask? +

For daily cleaning, wash your mask cushion or nasal pillows with mild soap and warm water, and let them air dry. Headgear and frames should be washed weekly. For an even more convenient and thorough clean, consider using an automated CPAP cleaner like the PAPClean CPAP Cleaner. It simplifies regular cleaning and helps keep your mask and equipment fresh with minimal effort.
