Waking up with red marks or irritated skin after using your CPAP mask? Your mask fit may need attention.
Some temporary marks can occur, but persistent redness, soreness, or discomfort shouldn't be ignored.
A few things worth checking:
🔹 Are the straps tighter than necessary?
🔹 Is the mask cushion clean and in good condition?
🔹 Is your mask the appropriate size?
🔹 Are air leaks causing you to overtighten the headgear?
Different mask designs may offer better comfort depending on your facial features and sleeping habits.
