The Optilife Nasal Pillow and CradleCushion CPAP Mask with Headgear offers the versatility of both Nasal Pillows and CradleCushion interface.

Select desired size combination of nasal pillows and cradle cushion when ordering.

Here are the highlights:

  • Clear View. No center bar sits between the eyes to inhibit your view. Glasses can easily be worn.

  • 4 Pillow Sizes Available. The OptiLife has four pillow sizes available, from large to petite for a more comfortable fit on a wider variety of noses.

  • 4 Cradle Sizes Available. The OptiLife has four cradle cushion sizes that provide minimal contact, yet feels similar to traditional triangular cushions.

  • Flex Tube The OptiLife includes a 15 mm flex tube measuring 18 inches long. The flex tube is between the mask and the long hose providing greater freedom of movement and less chance of seal disruption.

  • Rotating Cushions. The angle of the cushions are easily adjustable for a leak-free seal.

  • Chin Support. A built-in chin support has been added to the headgear for stability.

  • Easy Headgear. The headgear straps are easy to adjust without any buckles or clips to crease the face. There are two slots to angle the straps for a personal fit.

  • Quiet Air Vent. The exhalation vent is a circle of tiny holes for a quiet, softer release.

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

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?

Any mask will work with any machine, with one important exception. The ResMed AirMini is only compatible with certain ResMed CPAP masks. Compatible masks for the AirMini are as follows:

  • ResMed AirFit™ N20 Nasal Mask
  • ResMed AirFit™ F20 Full Face
  • ResMed AirTouch™ F20 Full Face
  • ResMed AirFit™ P10 Nasal Pillow

When considering another CPAP, APAP or BiPAP machine from ResMed or any other manufacturer, mask compatibility extends to all brands. The AirMini uses non-standard tubing to connect the machine to the mask, and is the primary reason why other masks won't work with the AirMini. Despite this issue, many of our customers consider the AirMini to be an excellent machine.

Are prescriptions required for mask, machine, humidifier, and EPAP purchases?

Yes. Federal law requires we have a valid prescription on file before we ship your mask, machine, humidifier, or EPAP therapy, including Provent and Bongo RX. You will also need a prescription to purchase the Nightbalance POSA device.


We provide many easy ways to get your prescription:

  • We can request your prescription for you! When you checkout, just let us know you would like us to request your prescription, or you can log into your account to have us request your prescription.
  • Fax your prescription to our toll-free fax number: 866.353.2727, or our international fax number: 713.541.7377
  • Email your prescription to cpap@cpap.com
  • Upload your prescription in your account, under the Prescriptions Section
  • Ask your doctor to fill out our prescription form. We have both a standard prescription form and an EPAP prescription form.


For more information on prescriptions, please see our Prescription Section of the Learning Center.


What are the CPAP, BiPAP, Sleep Apnea, and Oxygen related HCPCS, CPT or billing codes?

E1399 is Miscellaneous and is used for other CPAP and Oxygen items.
How often should I replace my mask?
Medicare allows for mask cushion replacement every three (3) months, and a 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 cushion eventually becomes too soft to hold a seal. The headgear straps lose elasticity and 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. In most cases, replacement headgear is available 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. Just search for your mask to see all of the replaceable parts.
How do I care for my mask?

Masks should be washed daily with warm water and gentle soap or baby shampoo. Let the mask air dry. Never use antibacterial soap as it will break down the silicone of the mask cushion. Avoid soaps that include lotion which can coat the mask and cause it to lose its seal. A safe cleaner is the Control III Disinfectant CPAP Cleaning Solution. Remember, going to bed with a clean face will improve your seal and protect the lifespan of your mask. Citrus Mask Wipes

The best time to clean your mask is in the morning after use. This removes the oils left behind from your skin which can reduce the lifespan of your mask. We recommend using Mask Wipes to make daily morning cleaning easy. The mask wipes are made from materials that will not break down your mask.

Citrus Mask Wipes


For customers who want to completely disinfect their mask and accessories, there's an even better option than wipes. The Lumin Mask and Accessories Cleaner uses powerful UV light to disinfect, killing almost all bacteria almost instantly. It's not a cleaner and doesn't scrub or wash anything, but for simple disinfecting the Lumin works great!




Here are some other cleaning products to help with keeping your mask fresh:


Citrus II CPAP Mask Spray Cleaner

Control III Disinfectant CPAP Cleaning Solution - Home Care Kit

Hurricane CPAP Equipment Dryer

Unscented CPAP Mask Wipes

Lumin CPAP Mask and Accessories Cleaner

What does a mask prescription need to say?
A mask prescription must contain all of the following information:
  • One of the following words or phrases: "CPAP Mask", "CPAP Supplies", "CPAP Humidifier", "CPAP", "Continuous Positive Airway Pressure", "APAP", "AutoPAP", "AutoSet", "Auto CPAP", "Auto Adjusting CPAP", "Self Adjusting CPAP", "BiPAP", "BiLevel", "VPAP", "BiPAP Auto", "BiPAP ST", "Synchrony ST", "VPAP ST"
  • Your physician's contact information
  • Your physician's signature
  • The patient's full name

Why might I prefer a nasal pillow mask?

Nasal pillow delivery systems offer less contact with the face than either full face or traditional nasal masks. This system works well for those who tend to feel closed in or claustrophobic. Many nasal pillow systems have nothing that cross in front of the bridge of the nose allowing for a clear line of sight for reading or watching TV.


It can be easier to achieve a seal with this system, because there is less for you to adjust and less surface area to create and hold a seal.


Nasal pillow systems may work well for someone with a mustache or beard as the seal occurs only at the nares or nasal opening.


Someone who has a facial mole or scar near or around the nose, may find getting a seal with a traditional nasal mask difficult. Nasal pillows are an option in this circumstance.


Most nasal pillow masks also come with all sizes included to make finding the right size easier.

excellent mask

Verified purchase | Feb. 22, 2020 | Verified CPAP.com Customer
I have been using this mask for around the past 10 years. I buy a new one every year as the straps get stretched out from use after that. Creates a much better seal for me than the standard mask, and it's easy to wear my glasses to read with the mask on. It's also much lighter in weight than the standard mask, which was creating a semi-permanent ridge across the bridge of my nose. I can clean the flexible mask piece that fits under the nose every day - it's easy to do.

Amazing, if it worked

Verified purchase | Nov. 27, 2018 | Verified CPAP.com Customer
This mask is not for everyone, but I suspect that if you're somebody with a smaller face and in need of a chinstrap, this may be the PERFECT mask for you. I'm a bigger guy with a wider face however, so the chinstrap basically kept sliding to the end of my chin, and then the whole think kept coming off while sleeping. That being said, if the chinstrap sat further back, I could see this being a truly awe-inspiring mask. For you, this may be perfect!
