About CPAP Masks & Headgear
The mask is the part of a CPAP system people notice most, and it comes in three broad styles. Nasal pillow masks seal at the nostrils and have the smallest frame. Nasal masks cover the nose. Full face masks cover the nose and mouth and are often chosen by people who breathe through the mouth during sleep. Fisher & Paykel, Sunset and AG Industries masks, cushions and headgear are grouped here, as one collection within Respiratory Supplies.
Beyond style, two attributes drive the choice. Size refers to the cushion or pillow, usually small, medium or large, and many masks ship with a fitting guide. Model matters for replacements: a cushion, frame or headgear strap is designed for one specific mask model and generally will not fit a different one. Your sleep provider or clinician may specify a particular style when setting up therapy.
If you already use a mask, check the model name printed on the frame or elbow and the size marked on the cushion. Replacement cushions and headgear are often sold separately, and cushions may come in packs, so compare the listing contents with what you need to replace.
Frequently asked questions
How do I choose between nasal pillow, nasal and full face masks?
Nasal pillows suit people who want minimal contact on the face, nasal masks cover the whole nose, and full face masks cover nose and mouth for people who mouth-breathe. Then choose the cushion size using the manufacturer's fitting guide. Your sleep provider or clinician may already have specified a style that works with your setup.
Will insurance cover CPAP masks and headgear?
Masks, cushions and headgear may be eligible for coverage on a replacement schedule, often under HCPCS codes such as A7030 for full face masks and A7035 for headgear. Codes on our pages are shown for reference only. Coverage, frequency limits and prescription requirements depend on your payer and plan, so confirm with them before ordering.
How do I reorder the same cushion or headgear?
Find the mask model name on the frame and the size on the cushion, or use the REF number from the original packaging. Search that number on our site so you get the part made for your exact mask. Check whether the listing is a single cushion, a multi-pack, or a complete mask with headgear.
