Masks Types
- Full Face Masks cover both the nose and mouth, making them ideal for mouth breathers or individuals with nasal congestion. They provide a secure seal and consistent airflow, even at higher pressure settings, ensuring effective therapy. While they offer the most coverage, they can feel bulky and are best suited for back sleepers or those who need maximum support.
- Compact Full Face Masks are a smaller, lighter alternative to traditional full face masks. They cover the mouth and sit under the nose, reducing bulk and eliminating pressure on the bridge of the nose. This design is perfect for side sleepers or users who want less obtrusion while still benefiting from dual-coverage therapy.
- Nasal Cradle Masks cradle the base of the nose, delivering effective airflow with minimal facial coverage. This gentle design reduces pressure marks and irritation, making them a great choice for sensitive skin. Lightweight and unobtrusive, they are perfect for side sleepers or users who want a soft, natural fit without anything sitting in or over their nostrils.
- Nasal Pillow Masks feature small prongs that sit directly in the nostrils, offering precise airflow with minimal facial contact. They are the lightest and most low-profile option, making them ideal for active sleepers or users who feel claustrophobic with larger masks. Their unobstructed design also allows for easy reading or watching TV before bed.
- Nasal Masks fit snugly over the nose, providing a lightweight and minimal-contact option for nose breathers. They deliver effective airflow for mild to moderate pressure settings and are versatile enough for most sleeping positions. Their unobtrusive design makes them a popular choice for users who prefer a less intrusive mask.

The most comfortable sleep apnoea mask for you will depend on your personal requirements, including factors such as whether you breathe through your mouth during sleep, if you have a beard, and if you might feel claustrophobic wearing a larger sized mask.
This is where you can make the decision between using a full face mask, a nasal mask, and a nasal pillow mask. Each has its own advantages depending on your personal needs and preferences - the right choice will ensure that factors such as leakage and a poor fit do not impact your CPAP experience. For example, if you have facial hair, a full face mask may not be appropriate as it will cause air to leak, and as a result you may be more suited to a nasal or nasal cradle CPAP mask.

The best CPAP mask for side sleepers is one that is securely fitted and will not adjust in fit throughout the night. In this case, a nasal or nasal pillow mask may be the right mask option, as a full face mask may shift in the side sleeping position.
With this in mind, some of the most popular and highly reviewed masks in our shop that would be suitable for a side sleeper include, but are not limited to:
With a number of options to consider, there are definitely full face masks that are suitable for side sleepers. Be sure to keep in mind the shape and location of the straps, as well as the size of the mask frame.
CPAP masks are proven to be one of the most effective solutions to treating sleep apnoea. They work by directing the air that comes from a CPAP machine into your throat, and as a result, preventing the airway from closing. With the extensive range of masks and machines available, features such as advanced algorithms, humidifiers and modern mask technologies will allow you to have a comfortable and effective CPAP experience.
Almost all masks are compatible with any machine, allowing you to mix and match your selection to fit your specific needs. It might be important to note that the exception to this rule is the ResMed AirMini, which is only compatible with the ResMed AirFit P10, F20 and N20, as well as the AirTouch F20 ResMed mask.

With CPAP mask maintenance being an important part in maintaining effective CPAP therapy, even a well cared for mask will require replacing at some point. Factors such as cracks and tears in your tubing, cushioning being stretched out, and more can come into play, having a significant impact on your CPAP therapy. While the general advice varies for replacement of a CPAP mask, CPAP Online Australia recommend replacing each component of your mask at specific intervals.
Firstly, a full replacement should generally be made yearly at a minimum. With this being said, the headgear of your mask should be changed every 6 months, and cushion replacement should occur around every 3 months. Finally, air filters should be replaced every 3 months if reusable, and monthly if disposable.
These guidelines are based on well fitting CPAP equipment that is properly maintained and regularly cleaned, and following them will ensure that you avoid an uncomfortable experience, facial sores, and redness. It also means that you will benefit from the latest CPAP mask technologies, which are constantly evolving and improving.

Types of CPAP Masks and Medicare Coverage
Understanding the different types of CPAP masks available and their Medicare coverage options is essential for effective sleep apnea treatment. Each mask type serves specific needs, and Medicare coverage can help make these essential devices more accessible.
You would want to check first if Medicare coverage for CPAP masks is applicable to you. Your sleep specialist can help determine your specific coverage under Medicare. The standard replacement schedule recommends new cushions every three months to maintain proper sealing and comfort. Headgear typically requires replacement every six months due to natural wear and stretching. A complete mask assembly should be replaced annually to ensure optimal performance. Air filters need monthly replacement if disposable, while reusable filters should be cleaned regularly and replaced quarterly.
Using CPAP Effectively
Successful CPAP therapy relies heavily on selecting the appropriate mask type for your individual needs. Side sleepers often find greatest success with nasal or nasal pillow masks due to their minimal profile and stable seal during position changes. Your facial structure plays a crucial role in mask selection, as proper sizing and fit prevent air leaks and ensure comfort. Those who breathe through their mouth during sleep typically benefit from full face masks or may combine nasal masks with chin straps for optimal therapy. Users who experience claustrophobia generally prefer masks with minimal contact points and open sight lines.
Different sleep patterns and preferences require specific mask features. The ResMed AirFit N20 excels for side sleepers thanks to its stable seal and flexible frame design. Fisher & Paykel's Eson 2 provides exceptional comfort for those who move frequently during sleep. Users requiring higher pressure settings often find the most success with full face masks like the ResMed AirFit F20 or Fisher & Paykel Vitera, as these provide stable seals even under increased air pressure.
Maintaining Your CPAP Mask
Proper maintenance significantly extends mask life and ensures consistent therapy effectiveness. Daily cleaning should follow manufacturer guidelines, typically involving gentle cleansing with warm water and mild soap. Regular component replacement according to Medicare and manufacturer schedules prevents degradation of seals and ensures consistent therapy delivery. Watch for signs of wear such as softening cushions, loosening headgear, or inconsistent seal performance as indicators for replacement needs.
