The cpap mask is the functional element that is worn on the face for breathing, covering the nose or mouth for CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) therapy, helping to improve breathing while sleeping.

Its use is very practical and its function is to seek an improvement in sleep apnoea and snoring.

There are three types of masks that will help us obtain the comfort we seek and rest properly. Each type is designed to fit the way we sleep.

Guide to knowing which one is right

Ask your doctor to find out which size will be right for you.
Define what type of mask you want to use (out of the three possible types).
Try the mask on when you have a quiet moment, while you are awake, to get used to it. This will help you to get used to it gradually.
Avoid leaks; the mask should fit snugly so that air does not get into your eyes or out of your eyes. If you have a mouth mask, should be snugly fitted so that air doesn’t get into your eyes or cause irritation from moving around.
If you are prone to dry mouth while sleeping, it helps to use a nasal mask and humidifier that connects to your humidifier that connects to your positive pressure machine.
As the days go by and you use it, you get used to it. Patience is recommended.

Features to consider when choosing a CPAP mask
