How can I maximize mask comfort?

The key to successful CPAP therapy is a good mask fit. Your mask needs to be comfortable. Follow these tips:

  • Secure your headgear, but do not make it too tight.

  • Check if you need a new or different mask when you find yourself adjusting your headgear to minimize leaks.

  • Replace your mask every six (6) months to a year (6-months is recommended by manufacturers).

  • Do not have your mask cushion crushing against your face; leaks may increase if your mask is too tight. The cushion should be resting on your face, allowing air to fill the cushion and make a seal.

RANA has a large variety of mask sizes and styles available. Please contact us if your mask is causing discomfort or leaking regularly - we will find the right mask for you.
