Non-RX CPAP Mask Kits

Getting Your CPAP Mask Kit with No Prescription Required

• When Is a RX Required for CPAP Machines & CPAP Masks?

  All CPAP devices listed on CPAPsupplies.com (including BiPAP, APAP, and Travel CPAP Machines) require a current CPAP prescription from a licensed healthcare provider. However, while the FDA classifies CPAP masks as Class II medical devices (which can pose inherent health risks) that may require a prescription to ensure their safety, some of the individual components of CPAP machines and CPAP masks can be replaced with no RX without having to purchase a complete mask, such as hoses, mask frames, headgear clips, and more. This page offers a convenient way for you to purchase a CPAP mask kit, with all the necessary mask components, without a prescription.

• CPAP Mask Types

  • Full Face CPAP Masks: Securing a seal around both your mouth and nose, full face CPAP masks are ideal for mouth breathers or nose breathers, back sleepers, and are able to operate using any pressure setting.

  • Nasal CPAP Masks: Back sleepers, side sleepers, and active sleepers can all benefit from using a nasal CPAP mask as they often feature a low-profile design that seals around your nose, allowing you a better line of vision and freedom of movement.

  • Nasal Pillow CPAP Masks: Offering a minimal contact experience, nasal pillow CPAP masks are ideal for CPAP users who experience claustrophobia or have facial hair, and can accommodate various sleeping positions such as back sleepers, side sleepers, active sleepers, and stomach sleepers.

• Why Choosing the Best Mask Fit is Key

  Making certain you find an optimal, comfortable fit for your CPAP mask plays a significant role in the effectiveness, safety, compliance, and overall experience of your sleep therapy. Establishing a secure mask seal prevents pressurized air from leaking between your face and your mask cushion, promoting steady airflow to your upper airway. This helps to eliminate side effects caused by a poorly fit CPAP mask, such as skin irritation, dry eyes, nasal congestion, discomfort, and reduced CPAP therapy effectiveness.

• Common CPAP Mask Cushion/Nasal Pillow Materials

  • Silicone: Soft and flexible, silicone mask cushions/pillows are highly responsive to sleep position changes throughout the night.

  • Memory Foam: Memory foam offers the softest available cushion/pillow option and effortlessly conforms to your face. However, memory foam cushions/pillows typically have to be replaced more frequently than other materials.

  • Gel: Providing a more firm cushion option, gel cushions/pillows maintain their shape while adapting to your unique facial shape and contours, making them ideal for higher pressure settings.

• How to Clean a CPAP Mask

  Regularly cleaning your CPAP mask parts and components is crucial for avoiding the accumulation of bacteria, debris, oils, and other contaminants. This will help prevent the buildup of germs that may cause skin irritation and other unwanted side effects.

  Before following the instructions below, first make sure your CPAP machine is unplugged from the power source, disconnect your mask and air tubing from your CPAP machine, and disassemble your mask components into 3 parts (mask cushions/pillows, headgear, and frame):

   

  Part	Cleaning Frequency	Instructions
  Full Face Mask Cushions, Nasal Cushions, & Nasal Pillows	Daily	Using a mild detergent* and warm, drinking-quality water, gently clean your mask cushions/pillows to remove any dirt, debris, and oils. Vinegar solutions (3:1, water:vinegar mix) can be used by soaking for 30 minutes to kill accumulated bacteria. Rinse thoroughly. Allow to air dry, avoiding direct sunlight.
  Mask Frame	Weekly	Using a mild detergent* and warm, drinking-quality water, gently clean your mask frame to remove any dirt, debris, and oils. Vinegar solutions (3:1, water:vinegar mix) can be used by soaking for 30 minutes to kill accumulated bacteria. Rinse thoroughly. Allow to air dry, avoiding direct sunlight.
  Headgear	Weekly	Using a mild detergent* and warm, drinking-quality water, gently clean your mask headgear to remove any dirt, debris, and oils. Do not use a vinegar solution. Rinse thoroughly. Hang dry, avoiding direct sunlight.
  Chinstrap	Weekly	Using a mild detergent* and warm, drinking-quality water, gently clean your mask chinstrap to remove any dirt, debris, and oils. Do not use a vinegar solution. Rinse thoroughly. Hang dry, avoiding direct sunlight.

  *Avoid using strong detergents or soaps, especially those that contain harsh chemicals, perfumes, dyes, moisturizers, or alcohol.
