What is CPAP supposed to feel like?
Your mask is very important…so what is a mask supposed to feel like? Your mask should feel comfortable and should have been recommended to you…not because it is the least expensive mask you will tolerate from the provider, but the best mask or interface for your particular needs. Don’t think you only have one choice, if you don’t ask they may not tell you! Understand if you have facial hair, your best bet may be a Nasal Pillows System, if you can tolerate something protruding into your nares! Most importantly your mask should address the propensity to leak depending if you are a restless sleeper etc. If you are back sleeper, with no facial hair, there may be an excellent choice out there for you…make sure you find a provider that probably uses this stuff himself!
