The type of PAP mask that is best suited for you will vary from person to person. Selecting the appropriate mask may take time as well as potential trial and error. We've put together a quick breakdown of who is a good match for two of the most common PAP mask types here:
Full-face masks may be best suited for:
- People who predominantly breathe through their mouth
- People who have severe sinus issues
- People who sleep on their back
Nasal pillow masks may be best suited for:
- People who predominantly breathe through their nose
- People who experience feelings of claustrophobia with a larger mask
- People who frequently toss and turn in their sleep
We've also put together a more detailed guide that goes over different mask types here.
PAP masks are not a one-size-fits-all product, but we are here to help answer any questions.
