Choosing the right CPAP mask

Our collection of award-wining Fisher & Paykel masks are designed to suit every breathing and sleeping style.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is one of the most common sleep disorders

Your mask is one of the most important components of CPAP therapy because of your close interaction with it.   There are several different styles of masks, so you will need one that is best suited for you.

Consider the following when being fitted for a mask:

  • Consider the following when being fitted for a mask:
  • Do I breathe through my nose and/or mouth while sleeping?
  • Are the inside of my nostrils very sensitive?
  • Will I feel claustrophobic if I have something covering or on my face?
  • Is the mask easy to clean and assemble?
