Find the Right AirSense CPAP Mask in San Tan, Arizona

Waking up with red marks, leaks, or a claustrophobic feeling? Your CPAP mask could be the culprit. ResMed AirSense devices support a variety of mask types to improve comfort and sleep apnea therapy effectiveness.

AirSense Mask Options

  • Full Face Mask: Covers nose and mouth, ideal for mouth breathers or active sleepers.
  • Nasal Mask: Covers only the nose, lighter and less restrictive, perfect for nose breathers.
  • Nasal Pillow Mask: Minimal design under the nostrils, offering freedom and comfort for side sleepers or those preferring minimal coverage.

Why Switch Masks?

  • Improve comfort and reduce irritation.
  • Prevent leaks that disrupt therapy.
  • Match your sleeping style and breathing preferences for better sleep quality.

How to Change Your Mask

  1. Disconnect tubing and remove the old mask.
  2. Attach the new mask and reconnect tubing.
  3. Adjust the headgear for a secure, comfortable fit.
  4. Update mask type in AirSense settings and run a leak test.

Tips for Success
