The SleepNet IQ Nasal CPAP Mask separates itself from other nasal masks through a unique, adjustable wire support frame embedded inside the cushion. Simply mold the flexible shell to conform to any face. Once fitted, the gel cushion provides a thin layer of silicone to help prevent pressure points and friction marks. The tubing can rotate 360° and take advantage of both the 2-point and 3-point headgear straps. Just rotate the bracket where the headgear attaches and use the 2-point headgear for a clear field of view. 2-point headgear sold separately.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
"This mask works perfect for me! It doesn't sore my nose it is very good price and now they have it in trasparent finish and it is even better to clean."
BEST mask ever!
SB, Indiana – August 21, 2010
"IF you have problems with skin irritation you should try this or one of the other masks by Sleepnet. I have been on CPAP for over 10 years and EVERY other mask I have tried has caused a rash on my skin after only one night of use. The combination of the gel and membrane used on these products is the only thing I can use. Always a good seal, and NEVER any skin irritation."
Comfortable and Durable
Elizabeth K, OK – May 10, 2010
"I have found this mask to be extremely comfortable. The elasticity of the headgear makes it fast and easy to put on and take off. It leaks though if I turn over without readjusting."

IQ NASAL CPAP MASK W/ 3 POINT HEADGEAR
JudithAnn B, FRANKLIN, TN – January 17, 2010
"I HAVE BEEN ON CPAP SINCE 1997, AND HAVE USED MANY MASKS OVER THE YEARS, BUT THIS MASK/ HEADGEAR COMBO HAS TO BE THE ABSOLUTE WORST. 1st of all, the mask and headgear do not work well together. It is almost impossible to get a decent seal, and if you do, nearly impossible to maintain it. I believe my head and face to be pretty average in that there are no unusual anatomical features, my size is the standard, medium or occasionally small, and I have used without problem or issue the PROFILE LITE, GOLDSEAL, COMFORT GEL, BREEZE AND MANY OTHERS AND MANY TYPES OF NASAL PILLOWS FROM THE ADAMS CIRCUIT ONWARD. SOME I LIKED BETTER THAN OTHERS BUT I NEVER HAD A PROBLEM LIKE THIS. If you sleep on your back, face forward and unmoving, you may be able to use this mask. If you move even slightly the headgear is all over the place and the seal is history. I move very little and I could not use it. The mask itself seems to be good quality and comfortable GEL but so what if it is unusable. I think some other form of headgear is needed to make this product usable. Till then, save your money. One nights wrestling with this mess only to go back to my old mask was enough. Into the trash with it where it belongs."

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.
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.

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.
