Full face CPAP masks are the most commonly used type of mask in the UK. They cover both the nose and mouth (ie that snore). This allows the CPAP machine to deliver the required air pressure regardless of how you breathe during sleep. We offer a wide range of full face masks, including those featuring silicone, gel and soft cloth skin-friendly cushion options.

Mouth Breathers: Individuals who breathe through their mouths will find ful face masks particularly beneficial. They ensure a consistent flow of air to the upper airway to prevent obstructions.
Nasal Congestion Sufferers: Chronic nasal congestion or allergies can impede the use of nasal masks. Full face masks provide air through both the nose and mouth, ensuring effective therapy despite nasal challenges.
High Pressure Needs: Those who require a high-pressure setting often find full face CPAP mask more comfortable.
Absolutely. Full face masks are made to accommodate various sleeping positions. They can maintain a secure seal even if you prefer sleeping on your back, side, or stomach. The masks adapt to your movements, allowing for a restful night’s sleep.
Additional accessories are available to improve your comfort. Such as a CPAP pillow, which has special cut-outs at the sides so your mask doesn’t sit on the pillow. This helps to keep the mask in place if you are an active sleeper.
Routine cleaning is vital for hygiene and the longevity of the mask. Simply wash the mask, cushion, and headgear daily with mild soap and water. Follow the user guide for disassembly and cleaning to keep your CPAP equipment in optimal condition.
The difference between a full face mask and a nasal mask is how much of the face they cover and how airflow is delivered.
The lifespan of a mask depends on various factors, including the mask type, usage, and maintenance. All masks have a recommended replacement schedule to ensure optimal performance, hygiene, and comfort.
Cushion and Seal: Every 3-6 Months: The cushion, which forms the seal against your face, can wear out over time. This needs replacing every 3 to 6 months. Sooner if you notice any visible signs of wear, such as cracks or tears.
Headgear: Every 6 Months to 1 Year: The headgear, which keeps the mask in place, can lose elasticity over time. Replace it every 6 months to a year. Sooner if you notice it is stretched or the Velcro is not holding securely.
Frame and Clips: As Needed: The mask frame and clips that hold the cushion and headgear may have a longer lifespan. Replace them if you notice any damage or if they become less effective.
Entire Mask: Every 6-12 Months: While the individual parts can be replaced on a schedule, the entire mask should be replaced every 6 to 12 months. Sooner if you experience discomfort or notice a decline in performance.

There are various types of masks designed to suit how people breathe during sleep and different sleeping positions. No mask is better than another. As long as the mask is comfortable, suits how you breathe during sleep and fits correctly, you will feel the benefits of your Sleep Apnoea treatment.
Adapting to your new CPAP mask can take some time as you get used to the feeling. As this is not something people are used to wearing before starting treatment it can take some time to adjust to. For many CPAP users, it can take up to a month to get used to a new mask. If your mask doesn’t fit correctly, it can make it uncomfortable and prevent you from waking up feeling refreshed. That is why purchasing the right size is so important.
We recommend purchasing our unique Mask-Fit Insurance with your mask. It provides you with 28 days to try your mask, and if you find it uncomfortable after this period, you can return it for a refund.
