CPAP Masks, Adult CPAP Masks, Pediatric CPAP Masks

The common misconception about CPAP masks is that you have to sleep on your back while wearing one. Not everyone gets their best night’s sleep on their back, so that seems a bit unfair! What if I told you that no matter how you sleep, you could use a CPAP mask comfortably and easily? No matter if you’re a side, stomach, or back sleeper, there’s a perfect CPAP mask for your needs.

According to the Sleep Foundation, nasal pillow masks and nasal masks are the best choices for side sleepers. Nasal pillow masks use soft “pillows” that cover your nostrils and create a secure yet gentle seal. There’s only one strap that lies across the width of your face, just above your cupid’s bow. These are hands-down the best bet for those who don’t like the feeling of a nasal mask or full-face mask.

The best CPAP mask for stomach sleepers is decidedly the nasal pillow mask. This mask’s slim profile and style of oxygen delivery enables CPAP users to comfortably sleep on their stomach so long as they use a CPAP pillow that can accommodate their mask. 

Truly, back sleepers can comfortably use any style of face mask due to how CPAP masks secure to your head and face. Full-face masks, nasal masks, and nasal pillow masks are all ideal options for back sleepers.
