CPAP Nasal Pillows Masks

Nasal pillow masks are sometimes called direct nasal interfaces. Nasal pillows feature two cone-shaped prongs that rest against your nostrils to create a direct connection with the nasal airway.

Preferred by side sleepers, this type of nasal mask minimises skin contact. A nasal pillows mask allows for more freedom when you sleep, so you don’t have to worry about knocking your mask off. Air leaks, claustrophobia, and skin irritation are less common when using these masks.

Nasal Pillows from Leading Brands

How they work

Nasal pillow masks deliver pressurised air into the nose only. They consist of two small, soft pillows inserted into the entrance of the nostrils and secured by straps around the head. The pillows create a seal around the nostrils, and the material is typically silicone or gel. The seal prevents air from escaping.

The advantages of using nasal pillow masks

The advantage of this style is the lightweight design, which has minimal contact with the face. The mask can provide a more comfortable and less claustrophobic experience. The direct delivery of pressurised air to the nostrils can also minimise air leaks and reduce a dry mouth. The open field of vision allows you to read, watch TV, or wear glasses more comfortably before you go to sleep.

What to do if you experience nasal dryness or congestion with the mask

To fully experience the benefits of Nasal masks, the nasal passages should be clear. During periods of illness, cold or flu, it may be necessary to use a Full-Face mask. This style will deliver air pressure to both the mouth and nose.

CPAP Nasal Pillows Masks FAQs

Use the Sizing Guide: A few masks offer one size fits all. Others come with a sizing guide that includes a template to help you determine the appropriate size based on your nose shape and dimensions. You can print the templates from the products page and follow the guide provided.

Measure Your Nostrils: If there’s no specific sizing guide, use a ruler or measuring tape to measure the width of your nostrils. This measurement can help you choose the appropriate size according to the mask’s specifications.

Ensure the nasal cushion fits comfortably in your nostrils. It should feel snug but comfortable. For optimal comfort, your mask should be as loose as possible whilst at the same time creating a secure seal.

The comfort level can be influenced by several things, including the pressure setting of your machine.

At higher pressure settings, the airflow from the CPAP machine can feel more forceful, and the increased pressure may cause discomfort.

Higher pressure can sometimes lead to nasal dryness, congestion, or irritation.

These masks are a great choice for those who like to read or watch television in bed and side sleepers.

The older-styles that go into the nose may dilate your nostrils while you are using CPAP therapy.

New styles of nasal pillow masks do not go into the nostrils. They sit at the entrance to the nose to create a seal.

Daily Cleaning:

Clean it daily using mild soap and warm water.
Gently rub the pillows with your fingers to remove any oils, dirt, or residue.
Rinse thoroughly to ensure no soap is left behind.

Regular Inspection:

Regularly inspect the pillows for signs of wear, discolouration, or damage.
Check for any buildup of mineral deposits, especially if you’re using tap water in your CPAP humidifier. If deposits are present, soak the pillows in a solution of white vinegar and water.

Allow to Air Dry:

After cleaning, allow it to air dry completely before using them again.
Ensure that they are completely dry to prevent the growth of mould or bacteria.

Replace if Necessary:

If you notice any wear and tear, such as cracks or splits, replace the pillows promptly.
Consider replacing the pillows if they become discoloured or lose their original shape.

We supply replacement mask parts, so you don’t need to buy a whole new mask when it shows signs of wear and tear.
