New 2018 Updates – Mask Tip
This tip came from a current user. And it’s targeted to men with beards. Here’s what he had to say:
“To whom it may concern.
The following tips apply to CPAP full face masks.
- After you have the straps adjusted, raise the mask off your face an inch or so and then position it back on your face for optimum seal.
- Think gravity when you adjust your mask. If you side sleep, it will be a bit tighter. If you sleep on your back, you will find a much tigher fit. If you toss and turn and sleep in all positions during the night, realize that gravity takes over and your mask may need readjusting to accommodate your different sleeping positions.
- Full face masks are large in overall size, and when you side sleep, the frame may be pushing up in to your cheek area and moving off center causing pressure point soreness or leak. Assure no big bedding or big pillows are pushing your mask off your face. Here’s one way to avoid this scenario.
CONCLUSION
In summary, you do have options when deciding on your comfort level with CPAP masks. Moreover, Cpapclinic supports your quest for comfort when using your CPAP, APAP or BIPAP.
