What mask is best for sleep apnea?
I have just recently been diagnosed with moderate sleep apnea. I am not a mouth breather. I like to wear my glasses at night and read until I get sleepy. I hate headpieces. What mask is best for people like me?

I like the comfort curve by Respironics, you can find it online and it’s a lot less expensive than you would pay in any supply store.
If you are going to get a C-PAP machine, they will fit you with several masks during your training on how to use your machine and you get to pick the one that meets your needs and feels the most comfortable.
your DME rep will help you decide what mask works best for you.
Everyone’s face is different so no one mask is the best. I have tried several (greater than 20). I switch between 2. The one that is the best (least amount of leaks and the most comfortable cause occassional skin irritation. I then switch to a different one so my face can heal but it has more leaks than I like. You need to work with your DME provider or go to an online site. I use an online provider now. It is definately cheaper.
