Nasal pillow CPAP masks cradle underneath your nose, with two small “pillow” cushions that rest just inside the nostril. The pillows inflate slightly to create a secure yet comfortable mask fit.
A nasal pillow mask’s minimal design provides a wider field of vision and less headgear than full face CPAP masks. And unlike traditional nasal masks, which tend to rest on top of the nose, nasal pillow masks don’t cover the bridge of your nose. This makes them ideal for CPAP users who experience claustrophobia, or just don’t like the feeling of a bulky mask.
Since they seal directly against the nostrils, nasal pillow masks are popular with people who have facial hair.
Best Sleeping Position: Side sleepers, back sleepers, stomach sleepers, active sleepers
Best Breathing Style: Nose breathers (or mouth breathers when paired with a chin strap)
Best Pressure Setting: Low to Mid
Mask Cushion Materials: Silicone or Gel
