A CPAP cushion is the soft, replaceable part of a CPAP mask that sits against your face, creating a seal to prevent air leaks.
What is the difference between a CPAP cushion and a CPAP pillow?
A CPAP cushion refers to the mask's sealing component, while a CPAP pillow is a specially designed bed pillow that supports CPAP users by reducing mask pressure and improving comfort.
How often should I replace my CPAP cushion?
Every 1-3 months or sooner if it shows wear, loses its seal, or causes leaks.
How do I clean my CPAP cushion?
Wash daily with mild soap and warm water to remove facial oils and prevent leaks.
Can I use a different cushion on my CPAP mask?
No, cushions are mask-specific and should be replaced with the same brand and model.
Why is my CPAP cushion leaking?
Common causes include worn-out cushions, improper fit, excessive facial oils, or a dirty cushion. Try adjusting the fit or replacing the cushion.
Which CPAP cushion type is best for me?
Nasal cushions for nose breathers, full-face cushions for mouth breathers, and nasal pillows for minimal facial contact.
