  1. How To Choose Your CPAP Mask? If you have been diagnosed with sleep apnea, the next step to leading a healthier life would be to start the treatment immediately. One of the easiest treatments for sleep apnea is CPAP or Continuous Positive Air Pressure. If you are wondering how to choose and find the right CPAP mask for your CPAP therapy, here are some of the major things to consider when choosing your CPAP mask. CPAP Mask Style CPAP masks are designed to provide a constant stream of air pressure to keep the airway open and avoid any chances of sleep apnea. There are three different types of CPAP mask styles available - Full-face CPAP mask, Nasal CPAP Mask, and Nasal Pillow CPAP Mask. These CPAP masks are designed for different levels of pressure, comfort and functionality. Consider the type of CPAP mask before buying. CPAP mask varieties are also designed for mouth breathers, side-sleepers, facial hair, and more. CPAP Mask Fitting and Size One of the main reasons for CPAP non-compliance is that the CPAP mask does not fit or is not comfortable. When buying a CPAP mask, it is important for the user to ensure that the mask cushion or nasal pillows are of the perfect size for comfort during CPAP therapy. CPAP mask fittings can affect CPAP compliance and the effectiveness of CPAP therapy for sleep apnea patients.

  2. CPAP Compliance Accessories CPAP accessories can be used to improve the comfort of CPAP therapy. Some of the major problems with compliance are mask fit, keeping the mask in place, sleeping with a mask on for active sleepers and more. In such cases, mask accessories like CPAP mask headgear, CPAP mask chin straps, and attachment cheek pads for nasal CPAP masks provide added comfort for better CPAP therapy compliance. Address Complications Immediately When using CPAP masks for the first time, most of the time users do not understand their exact needs and might end up buying a mask that does not suit their therapy and comfort needs. In case of complications with the CPAP mask, it is important for the user to immediately address the problem and replace the mask or mask parts.
