Those who are old enough to remember the old Lone Ranger shows and movies get that reference. If you’re old enough to remember that, you are probably part of the sleep apnea and CPAP generation.
If you have been diagnosed with sleep apnea, welcome to the Masked Man (or Masked Woman) Club.
Let’s be honest, these masks may not be the most attractive things to see when your partner rolls over in bed and they will take some getting used to, but if you have been living with untreated sleep apnea, these little machines and masks are a life boat in the sea of bad sleep. So which type of mask is right for you?
CPAPCentral carries a carries a variety of the best CPAP masks on the market. You can choose from fullface CPAP masks, nasal CPAP masks, nasal pillow CPAP masks, total face CPAP masks or hybrid CPAP masks.
Start by doing some research in our online catalog and looking at some different models. This will get you more familiar with what is out there. Make some notes about the ones you like more and why.
Most insurance companies will cover a new mask every six months, so you can use this to test drive the different models of CPAP masks. If something wasn’t totally comfortable, switch to a different type when it’s time to change out your model.
Some people start off thinking they would like a nasal pillow CPAP mask because it covers less of their face, but then discover they breathe better with a full-faced mask. Other people are able to find a happy medium between the two in the hybrid CPAP mask. You won’t know completely until you try.
