How Do I select the best CPAP Mask?
Example of a CPAP machine mask
You may not know it, but in some ways, a mask selects you, not the other way around! You’ll get the most out of CPAP therapy if you find one that accurately reflects how you sleep, not how you’d like to sleep. Begin by asking anyone who’s been around you when you sleep. Varying on the answer, this is going to be your initial step in choosing a new mask.
If you sleep with your mouth open, you’ll need a full-face mask, or you could utilize a chinstrap and try a nasal.
If you sleep with your mouth shut, you have a few more selections. You can choose a nasal pillow or a nasal mask. All of our masks have a free return policy, which means you can return any you don’t want to have (within 30 days) for a full reimbursement!

Do you Need a Prescription for a CPAP machine, Mask?
You need a prescription to purchase a CPAP mask. They are considered Class II Medical Devices, and per federal and state regulations, a prescription must be on file prior to buying one. There is one exception to this rule. With some mask manufacturers, you can purchase an Assembly Kit which does not need a prescription. Some people can utilize this as a way to maneuver the prescription requirement. We sell both CPAP masks and Mask Assembly Kits on our website.
