FAQs - CPAP Cushions & Nasal Pillows Collection

When should I replace my CPAP mask cushion?

CPAP mask cushions and nasal pillows need to be replaced regularly. Like other mask parts, these pieces develop wear and tear over time, causing air leaks and skin irritation.

  • Cushions: Most should be replaced every 1-3 months.
  • Nasal Pillows: Should be replaced more often, ideally, every 2-4 weeks.

Be sure to watch for signs of wear, such as frayed fabric, visible rips or tears, loose headgear, or reduced effectiveness of your CPAP therapy.

Why is it important to replace my CPAP mask cushion regularly?

Regularly replacing your CPAP mask cushion promotes good hygiene, ensures a tight seal, and prevents air leaks. Dirt and oil build-up can soften the cushion and reduce the effectiveness of your CPAP therapy, so staying on track with the replacement schedule is crucial.

How can I prolong the life of my CPAP mask cushion?

To prolong the life of your CPAP mask cushion, wash your face nightly, avoid overnight facial creams, wipe the cushion with a damp cloth each morning, and wash your mask and cushions daily with warm, soapy water.

What are the main types of CPAP mask cushions and their benefits?

The main types of CPAP mask cushions include silicone (soft and lightweight), inflatable or cloth (eliminates red marks, wicks away moisture), gel (provides a customized fit), and foam (blends comfort and performance, beneficial for new patients).

What is the difference between CPAP mask cushions and nasal pillows?

Ultimately, mask cushions and nasal pillows are designed to do the same thing. They both click into the mask frame to create a comfortable, leak-free seal between your face and CPAP mask. The difference lies in how they are shaped and whether they sealaround the mouth and/or nose, or if they seal inside the nostrils.

  • Oral Cushion: A soft insert that clicks into the frame of an oral mask, creating a seal around the mouth only.
  • Full Face Cushion: A soft insert that clicks into the frame of a full face mask, creating a seal around the mouth and nose.
  • Nasal Cushion: A soft insert that clicks into the frame of a nasal mask, creating a seal around the entire nose or just around the nostrils.
  • Nasal Pillows: A soft insert that clicks into the frame of a nasal pillow mask. Nasal pillows feature two small cone-shaped inserts (called "pillows") that create a secure seal just inside each nostril.
Are CPAP mask cushions universal?

No, they are not universal. CPAP cushions and nasal pillow cushions are designed to fit specific mask models. For example, an AirFit N20 cushion will not fit an AirFit F20 or an AirFit P10 mask, because their frames are very different. Always match the cushion or pillow to your exact mask model and size.
