There are three main mask styles:
Nasal masks (cover just the nose)
Nasal pillow masks (sit at the nostrils for minimal coverage)
Full-face masks (cover both the nose and mouth)
The right choice depends on comfort, breathing style, and your provider’s recommendations.
To ensure effectiveness and hygiene:
Mask cushion/pillows: every 2–4 weeks
Mask frame/headgear: every 3–6 months
Tubing: every 3 months
Filters: monthly (or more often if disposable)
Water chamber: every 6 months
