Best CPAP Masks for High Pressure - Full Face & Nasal

CPAP Masks for High Pressure

The best CPAP mask for high pressure is one with a wide, stable seal, which usually means a full face mask or an over-the-nose nasal mask. At higher CPAP and BiPAP settings these hold their seal better than nasal pillows.

Philips Respironics Amara full face CPAP mask for high pressure

As pressure goes up, air finds any gap in the seal, and small masks start to leak or lift. A cushion with more contact area spreads the force and stays in place.

If the mask leaks at high pressure

Check the cushion size against the manufacturer's sizing guide, then fit the mask while the machine is running at pressure. Replace a cushion that has softened. Overtightening the headgear usually makes leaks worse.

FAQs

What is the best CPAP mask for high pressure?

A full face mask such as the ResMed AirFit F20, or an over-the-nose nasal mask such as the AirFit N20 if you breathe through your nose. Both have a wide cushion that keeps its seal as pressure rises.

What is the best full face CPAP mask for high pressure?

The ResMed AirFit F20 and the Philips Respironics Amara are the traditional choices. The AirTouch F20 has a memory foam cushion, which some people find seals with less tightening.

Can I use nasal pillows at high pressure?

You can, but they are harder to keep sealed, and the direct airflow can feel strong. Many people on higher settings are more comfortable with a nasal or full face mask.

Which mask is best for high pressure on a BiPAP machine?

The same masks apply. BiPAP machines use standard CPAP masks, and a full face mask is the common choice. See the BiPAP masks page for the full range.

Do I need a prescription to buy one of these masks?

Yes. Every complete CPAP mask is sold by prescription. Place your order, then email a copy of your prescription to info@orderyoursupplies.com and include your order number so we can match it. Replacement cushions, headgear and mask kits sold without headgear do not need a prescription.

Can I return a mask if it does not fit?

Only if it is unused. We accept returns within 30 days of delivery when the mask is still in its sealed original packaging; a mask that has been opened or worn cannot be returned. Approved returns are refunded minus a 20% restocking fee, or you can take store credit. If you are between sizes, a fit pack includes more than one cushion size.
