No, you do not need a prescription (Rx) to purchase a CPAP mask. However, it's recommended to consult with a healthcare provider to determine the most suitable type of mask for your individual needs.
Yes, most CPAP masks are compatible with most CPAP machines with the exception of the ResMed Airmini which requires a special setup pack or adapter.
1. Practice wearing the mask during the day while doing non-strenuous activities to help adjust to the feeling.
2. Start with shorter sessions while sleeping, gradually increasing the time until you can wear it for a full night.
3. Adjust the straps to ensure a comfortable but secure fit.
4. Use a heated humidifier to add moisture and reduce dryness in the nose and throat.
5. Stay consistent with using the CPAP machine every night, as this will help your body get used to it over time.
• Nasal masks: These cover your nose and are held in place with a strap. They are a good option if you breathe through your nose and prefer a mask that's easy to use and maintain.
• Nasal pillows: These are small, soft cushions that fit into your nostrils, creating a seal without covering the nose. They are a good option for those who prefer a more minimalistic mask and for those who breathe through their nose.
• Full face masks: These cover both the nose and mouth and are held in place with a strap. They are a good option for those who breathe through their mouth, have nasal obstructions or congestion, or those who prefer a more secure mask.
While the most suitable full face CPAP mask can vary based on personal preferences and needs, we recommend the
ResMed AirFit™ F20 Full Face Mask with Headgear and the
Fisher & Paykel Evora™ Full Face CPAP Mask with Headgear as good options to consider.
Our best sellers include the
ResMed AirFit™ N20 Nasal Mask with Headgear
and the
ResMed AirFit™ N30i Nasal Mask with Headgear.
These masks are popular and have received positive feedback from many customers who often return to replace them.
While the best CPAP nasal pillow mask can vary based on individual preferences and needs, we suggest considering the
ResMed AirFit™ P10 Nasal Pillow Mask with Headgear.
It's a comfortable and non-invasive option that may work well for a variety of patients, and it has a minimalistic design.
CPAP masks should generally be replaced every 3-6 months, but this can vary. Check your mask for signs of wear and replace as needed. Replace the cushion or pillows every 1-3 months for a proper fit.
