Nasal Pillow Masks
Nasal Pillow CPAP Masks are one of three main types of CPAP masks available for patients to choose from. The other two main types include Full Face CPAP Masks and Nasal CPAP Masks. The most popular manufacturers of Nasal Pillow CPAP Masks are ResMed, Philips Respironics and Fisher & Paykel Healthcare.
Nasal Pillow CPAP Masks are popular for their minimalist design. The mask either sits under the nose or has two soft silicone prongs that sit inside the nostrils, with a minimalist strap that goes around the head. Nasal Pillow CPAP Masks are a good choice for the following CPAP patient types:
- Its minimalist size and weight is ideal for patients suffering from claustrophobia, or for those that simply prefer to have a less intrusive mask.
- Patients who can comfortably breathe through their nose
- Patients with thick facial hair and experience high leakage with other masks.
- Patients who like to read, watch TV or wear glasses before sleeping.

Getting the CPAP mask size, fit and comfort right, is just as important as choosing the right CPAP machine, in ensuring effective and comfortable CPAP treatment. Failure to do so, can significantly impact your success with CPAP therapy. Different CPAP mask brands and products suit different face shapes and sizes differently. That is why it is critical to seek the advice of an experienced and independent CPAP Consultant, when commencing CPAP treatment.
Key questions to ask when choosing the right CPAP mask:
- Do you “mouth-breathe” during sleep?
- Do your sinuses get congested regularly (e.g. allergies, deviated septum)?
- Do you require a high CPAP pressure setting (we generally consider a high pressure above 15 cm H2O)?
- Are you a restless sleeper (do you toss and turn a lot whilst asleep)?
- Do you suffer from claustrophobia?
- Do you have facial hair?
- Is your face symmetrical?
- Do you have a silicone allergy?
- Do you read, watch TV or wear glasses as part of our night routine?
- Do you have a medical device inside you that may be affected by magnet mask clips?
- How small/big, narrow/wide is your nose and nostrils?
- Do you have a high nose bridge (like most Caucasian populations) or a low bridge or valley (like most Asian populations)?
- For existing CPAP users, what are the features of your current CPAP mask that you like/dislike?
- Do you have a preference for the CPAP tubing to be in front of your face or on top of your head?
