CPAP overview & How to choose a CPAP

#CPAP Machine

CPAP Full Face Masks these masks are most popular with users that are on higher CPAP or BiPAP (bi-level) pressures. Covering both the nose and mouth these interfaces allow people to breathe through their nose and mouth, a typical way the average sleep apnea suffer sleeps. Many people find the pressure of CPAP when they are first introduced can be a bit overwhelming and the use of a full face mask offers relief from difficulty breathing through the nose only. Once a user becomes acclimated to sleeping with CPAP the sensation of the pressure decreases and some users can switch from full face masks to lesser invasive nasal or nasal pillow masks.  Full face masks are prone to higher mask leaks and it is important to clean the cushion surface nightly to remove facial oils or makeup. Replacement cushions and headgear are available for these products and should be changed every 3-6 months or as needed. If you find yourself over tightening your headgear to get a better seal or hear/feel air leaking it is either time to replace or clean as needed.

Best CPAP Masks for Side Sleepers– For those that like to switch from side to side during the night the hassle and aggravation of a mask digging into your face can be annoying and painful for sleeping. The CPAP “battle scars”, red mask line marks on the face from the strap or cushion digging into your face, can be embarrassing. For Full face users there is not many ways around this but for nasal pillow users or nasal style users there are some options that can make these side effects less painful.

Best CPAP Masks for Mouth Breathers– There is no easy way around this one other than a full face is your only option. There are a couple of full face masks that differ in design and offer a hybrid style of nasal pillow while still covering your mouth like the ResMed Mirage Liberty. Hybrid masks work best for people that need a full face for mouth breathing but have a narrow nose bridge that make it difficult to seal around the eyes.  SleepWeaver offers a cloth style full face that can help with people that also suffer from side sleeper issues.

Non Prescription CPAP Masks– Most people don’t realize that they can purchase their mask and headgear separately and avoid the hassle of trying to track down their prescription. We offer all of our masks with optional headgear to assist people with expediting their order. It’s quite simple if you think about it, all you have to do is attach the headgear which you were going to adjust anyways. We do encourage all of our customers to provide us with a copy of their prescription or their physicians information so that we can obtain a copy but just in case that’s not an option available you can rest easy knowing you can still get your CPAP supplies hassle free.
