Nasal Prong CPAP Masks

This type of mask is similar to a nasal pillow, but instead of sealing your nostrils, it uses nasal prongs, or cannulas, to deliver pressurized air. The mask sits underneath your nose, and prongs extend into your nostrils. These seal against your nostrils by inflating and creating air pressure.

Oral CPAP Masks

People who breathe through their mouth need a mask that seals over the mouth in order to get effective and consistent air pressure. Oral CPAP masks fit around just the mouth and are an alternative option for people who want a mask with less volume than a full-face mask.

Hybrid CPAP Masks

As the name implies, a hybrid CPAP mask uses two methods for delivering air. It seals under your nose as well as over your mouth, transporting air to both breathing passages. People who alternate between nose and mouth breathing may find this type of mask to be the best fit.

Total Face CPAP Masks

A total face CPAP mask covers your entire face, from above your eyes to below your mouth. This style mask is not necessary for most sleepers, but it can be very effective at preventing leaks for certain people. Even pressure is distributed into the mask, which can be more comfortable for people who are sensitive to high pressure.
