Nasal Pillow CPAP Masks

Nasal pillow CPAP masks are designed to sit directly at the entrance of the nostrils. They deliver pressurized air in a targeted way while offering maximum lightness and minimal facial contact.

This type of CPAP mask is particularly appreciated for its discreet design and freedom of movement during sleep.

What is a nasal pillow CPAP mask used for?

A nasal pillow CPAP mask delivers pressurized air directly into the nostrils to keep the airways open during sleep.

It effectively treats sleep apnea while minimizing facial coverage, making it a preferred option for users seeking a lightweight solution.

How does a nasal pillow CPAP mask work?

The nasal pillow mask is connected to the CPAP machine via a tube. Two soft nasal pillows rest at the entrance of the nostrils and deliver pressurized air throughout the night.

Thanks to its minimalist design, nasal pillow masks reduce pressure points and keep most of the face unobstructed.

Nasal pillow CPAP masks are particularly suitable for:

• users looking for a lightweight and discreet CPAP mask,
• side sleepers or users who change sleeping positions frequently,
• people who feel claustrophobic with more covering masks,
• users who breathe exclusively through the nose.

When choosing a nasal pillow CPAP mask, several factors should be considered:

• nasal pillow size to match the nostrils,
• nasal comfort and absence of irritation,

Proper fitting is essential to prevent leaks and nasal discomfort, especially during prolonged use.
