Is your prescribed therapy pressure higher than 15 cmH2O?

Yes
No
I don't know

Why We Ask This

We ask this question to pair you with mask styles that are appropriate for your prescribed pressure level.

Certain mask styles, such as nasal pillows or nasal-cradle-style masks may leak excessively or be uncomfortable when used with a pressure setting over 15 cmH2O.

Are you able to comfortably breathe through your nose most of the time?

Yes
No

Why We Ask This

We ask this question to pair you with the best masks for your breathing style.

If you have a chronic obstruction (such as a deviated septum) or difficulty breathing through your nose regularly, you'll have a better therapy experience with a full face mask that delivers air to both the nose and mouth.

If you do not have difficulty breathing through your nose regularly, you're more likely to be paired with a nasal or nasal pillow-style mask.

What is your typical sleeping position?

Side
Back
Stomach
Varies (Active Sleeper)

Why We Ask This

We ask this question to pair you with the best masks for your sleeping style.

Side sleepers will enjoy masks that are not too bulky in front of the face, swivel easily, and use thin or padded headgear on the side of the head/face.

Back sleepers are free to use whichever mask they prefer.

Stomach sleepers will benefit from low-profile masks that connect above the head, or have minimal bulk in front of the face.

Active sleepers are best suited to masks that are low-profile and swivel easily.

Do you have facial hair?

Yes
No

Why We Ask This

We ask this question to pair you with the best mask style for facial hair.Those with facial hair often report that minimal, nasal pillow masks work best for them.

Low-profile full face masks that rest under the nose rather than covering it completely will typically provide a better seal, too.

Does the idea of wearing a mask make you feel claustrophobic?

Yes
No
I Don't Know

Why We Ask This

We ask this question to pair you with the best masks for your comfort level.

Masks that completely encompass the nose, use forehead stability bars which interrupt your field of view, or full face masks in general can trigger feelings of claustrophobia more easily than smaller, more minimalistic masks.

Do you have any mobility issues using your arm or hands to make adjustments?

Yes
No

Why We Ask This

We ask this question to pair you with the best masks for your mobility level.

Some masks use multiple adjustable straps, which are sometimes located on top of the head, to provide a secure seal. If you might have difficulty reaching above your head, you'll likely have a better experience with a mask that has a single point of adjustment.

Do you or anyone in close proximity while using CPAP (including sleeping partners or caregivers) have metallic implants or magnetically sensitive objects near the head, neck, or chest? Examples include pacemakers, insulin pumps, stents, and aneurysm clips.

Yes
No

Why We Ask This

We ask this question to confirm whether or not a mask with magnets is safe for you to use.

Magnets found in the headgear of many modern CPAP masks can interfere with medical implants such as pacemakers, or subtly move magnetically-sensitive metallic implants or shrapnel in your head, neck, and chest area.

If you or anyone that will be near you during therapy (e.g. a partner or caregiver) has a pacemaker or other metallic implants/shrapnel, you should not use a mask with magnets.
