Product Features

Broad Silicone Forehead Pad. Ever had a dent in your forehead? The ComfortGel forehead pad is larger than the Profile Lite to diffuse any pressure out over a larger area for more comfort.

Adjustable Bridge Fit. Ever had a sore nose bridge? The ComfortGel can be adjusted outward at the bridge of the nose to help reduce pressure.

Customizable Gel Cushion. The gel-filled cushion conforms around the nose and uses the SST flap to create a consistent seal all night. The gel technology allows for a greater variety in facial features such as facial hair. As an added benefit, the ComfortGel cushion can be boiled and molded for a custom fit. The boiling process softens the cushion and allows the gel to form around your unique face. For more information on the boiling process, click on the Customizing the ComfortGel Cushion Instructions.

Silicone Cushion Flap. Does your mask get worn and "mushy" too quickly? Use the separate silicone membrane that snaps on over the gel cushion to increase the life of the cushion. The unique Sure Seal Technology (SST) contours and seals around the ComfortGel cushion.

Ball-and-Socket Quick Clips. How many times do you have to get out of bed at night? The clips allow easy removal and replacement of the mask without re-adjusting the straps.

Latex-Free. Just like all Respironics masks and headgear.

Associated Specifications
Mask Type: This describes the type of mask, either: nasal, full face, nasal pillow, nasal prong, hybrid, oral, or total face.	Nasal
Active Sleeper: Do you move around a lot when you sleep? These masks are ideal for users who either sleep on their side or stomach or restless sleepers who toss and turn. There are a few specialized cushions that address this issue as well as most Nasal Pillow and Prong CPAP masks.	No
Multiple Sizes Included: Indicates which masks come packaged with more than one cushion, pillow or prong. Masks can come packaged with ALL Sizes or a combination of sizes as a Fit Pack. This is ideal for users who have not tried the mask before and do not know the right size to select.	No
Replaceable Cushion: These masks offer replaceable cushions, pillows, or prongs. These unique CPAP Masks offer replaceable cushions as a low cost solution to keep your mask feeling and working like new.	Yes
Mouth Breather: These masks are designed to prevent mouth leaks. If you are opening your mouth during the night, airflow escapes and reduces therapy effectiveness. Users who are experiencing a dry mouth, sore throat, or sinus congestion may require a mask that seals around the mouth.	No
Small Face: This property identifies masks that are ideal for small facial features. Any mask with a size petite or extra small will be marked 'Yes'. Nasal Pillow masks are ideal because they accommodate the size of the 'nare' or nasal openings, not the face.	Yes
TV Friendly: TV Friendly CPAP masks have interfaces that avoid obstructing your vision so you can read or watch TV before going to bed. Any mask designed without a forehead piece will fall under this property.	No
Headgear Quick-Clips: Tired of adjusting your headgear every time you take your mask off during the night? Quick-Clips allow users to easily remove and replace the mask on your face without re-adjusting the headgear straps.	Yes
Headgear Included: This filter indicates if the mask comes with headgear included.	Yes
Claustrophobic: These masks have the least amount of material around the face, fewer headgear points, and offers more freedom when you sleep. Most Nasal Pillow and Nasal Prong masks are ideal for claustrophobic users.	No
Wide Face: The value will be marked 'Yes' for CPAP masks with interfaces that are unique to CPAP users with wide facial features. Masks with 'Wide' cushion sizes would fall under this category. Nasal pillow and prong masks are ideal for wide faces because the seal occurs around the nare, not the face.	No
Gel Cushion: These masks come with a silicone-based gel cushion.	Yes
Facial Hair: These CPAP masks have interfaces that accommodate a wide variety of facial hair styles. Gel cushions and foam inserts provide support and comfort for users who may need to over-tighten headgear straps to help seal around facial hair. Silicone gel also helps create a fluid seal over the hair.	Yes

Much better than my old mask

Mike M, MI – July 30, 2010

"I've really enjoyed my new ComforGel Nasel CPAP mask. It is much quieter than my old mask. It is also more comfortable. A medical supply store near my home wanted $280 for a simular mask - CPAP's price = $75. Wonderfull experience for me."

This mask is great

Ross L, OH – July 28, 2010

"I'd been using nasal pillows and quit. This works much better for me. I think this mask is great!"

Responics Headgear RP Kit w EZ Peel Tabs

Robert B, CA – July 24, 2010

"The Velcro type EZ Peel Tabs do not stay secured to the headgear resulting in air gaps. The strap has to adjusted during the night because the tabs slips and loosens the headgear resulting in leaks from under the gel cap. This product needs a more robust tab that will not slip during the night."

Robert M, TX – July 17, 2010

"The mask arrived at my house within 24 hours of my order. AWESOME!!!"

Like the improved mask

Carolyn M, OH – July 09, 2010

"Very comfortable. no leaks."

Product Challenge 5

The ComfortGel Nasal was challenged by the IQ Nasal Mask in Product Challenge 5. The ComfortGel beat the IQ Nasal Mask with a score of 40 to 10.

Product Challenge 4

The ComfortGel Nasal Mask challenged the Ultra Mirage II Nasal CPAP Mask in Product Challenge 4. The Ultra Mirage II beat the ComfortGel Nasal Mask with a score of 37 to 13.

What Participants liked about the ComfortGel Nasal Mask:
"Comfort of the Comfort Gel is slightly better for me than Ultra Mirage II, partly because it is wider and I am a 'side-sleeper'." - David P.

The wider mask was found to be more comfortable by 14 participants
Quieter exhaust port than the Ultra Mirage II
The gel feature adds to the seal for varied faces

What Participants want improved about this mask:

Sizes run large compared to the Ultra Mirage II
The grip of the velcro is not as strong as the Ultra Mirage II
The seal was easier to achieve and maintain with the Ultra Mirage II

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Are the ComfortGel nasal cushion sizes interchangeable on the mask frame?

ComfortGel and ComfortGel Blue mask frames and cushions are interchangeable, but the cushion and frame must be the same size. ComfortGel Blue Cushion for ComfortGel Nasal CPAP Masks will work with either mask.

Large frame = Large cushion and flap
Small/Medium frame = Medium cushion and flap
Small/Medium frame = Small cushion and flap
Petite frame = Petite cushion and flap

The same size silicone flap must be used to secure the gel cushion to the frame.

Does this mask contain any latex?

There is no Latex in any Respironics mask or their packaging.

Do you have a guide to help me choose the right mask?

Yes, we created a Help Me Choose guide to help you select the right mask or machine according to your preferences. The guide asks you a series of questions regarding your preferences and your facial features. Based on your answers we provide you with a comparison chart of the masks that meet your criteria. Get started here:

Help Me Choose - Mask

Which CPAP masks work on which machines?

All CPAP masks work with all machines.

How often should I replace my mask?

Medicare allows for mask cushion replacement every three (3) months and complete mask system replacement every six (6) months. CPAP manufacturers and vendors suggest these replacement schedules as well.

In our experience, most mask cushions begin to deteriorate after about six months of use. The silicone eventually becomes too soft to hold a seal and headgear straps must be tightened more and more to get the same quality seal.

We strongly suggest replacing cushions and pillows as soon as they start to soften. Air leaks may reduce the effectiveness of CPAP therapy and headgear that is too tight may cause facial sores at pressure points. You can also replace the headgear of your mask if it is stretched out or the Velcro worn out.

To see what parts of your mask are replaceable refer to our Replacement Part Finder. Search for your mask and then see all of the replaceable parts.

Why might I prefer a nasal mask?

The ideal CPAP mask is the one you can't tell is on. Start with minimal masks. If you are strictly a nose breather, the nasal mask is a good choice. The nasal cushion creates a very good seal around your nose and has a small profile. Nasal masks are also offered in gel, which many find comfortable.

Most nasal masks have a forehead support which offers stability and support for the mask.

How do I care for my mask?

Masks should be washed daily in warm water with baby shampoo and left to air dry. Never use antibacterial soap as it will break down the silicone of the mask. Avoid soaps with lotion or lanolin which can coat the mask and cause it to lose its seal. A safe cleaner is the Control III Disinfectant CPAP Cleaning Solution. Remember to go to bed with a clean face, this will improve your seal and protect the lifespan of your mask.
The best time to clean your mask is in the morning so that the oils from your skin are removed. We recommend using mask wipes to make daily morning cleanings easy. The mask wipes are made from materials that will not break down your mask.

Are prescriptions required for mask, machine and/or humidifier purchases?

Yes. Federal law requires we have a valid prescription on file before we ship your mask, machine and/or humidifier.

We provide many easy ways to get your prescription:
