Nasal pillow masks are the least intrusive CPAP masks. The traditional nasal mask is triangular, covers the entire nose and often has a T-shaped bar with forehead pads which uses headgear to secure onto the head. A full face mask covers the nose and mouth and secures to the head with headgear.
Nasal pillow masks are slightly inserted into the nostrils and only cover and the area just above the upper lip. It is larger than an oxygen nasal cannula but has a similar concept. Nasal pillow masks are held in place by headgear; however, it typically has fewer straps. Since there is no T-shaped bar, nasal pillow users can easily wear glasses while wearing their mask. The small and comfortable design of nasal pillow masks makes it a great choice.
The easiest way to clean your nasal pillow mask is to use mask wipes or mask cleaner.
