Nasal pillow masks are a non-intrusive way to deliver CPAP therapy without making you feel claustrophobic. Commonly made with pliable silicone or supportive gel cushions, this mask type seals around the base of your nostrils and is one of the most popular and comfortable styles of CPAP masks because it won’t obstruct your line of sight and works well for active sleepers. Nasal pillow masks work well for those who don’t commonly experience allergies or cold and flu symptoms as well as those without a deviated septum. Shop from dozens of nasal pillow masks from leading manufacturers like ResMed, Philips Respironics, and Fisher & Paykel below.

Nasal pillow CPAP masks are among the smallest and lightest CPAP masks available today and take up much less space on your face than a full face or nasal mask. Instead of using a cushion, nasal pillow masks use two soft and pliable pillows that are about the size of blueberries. These pillows seal around the base of each nostril, providing direct access to your airway without obstructing your line of sight. With a nasal pillow mask, you can wear glasses, watch T.V., or read a book before bed. The flexible and minimalistic design of nasal pillow masks makes them a great choice for both active sleepers and those who experience claustrophobia with larger mask styles.
Breathing through your nose triggers your relaxation response, which helps you to unwind and relax before bed. Nasal breathing engages the parasympathetic nervous system to release the stresses from the day and help counteract the fight-or-flight response.

While nasal pillow masks share a common cushion design, there are still some variables to consider when shopping for the perfect nasal pillow mask for your lifestyle needs such as:
While many nasal pillow masks follow a familiar pattern, no two masks are exactly alike, meaning finding your ideal fit may be tricky when switching to a new mask. There are two ways you can find the perfect fit when shopping for a new nasal pillow mask.
Fit Packs are masks bundles that include cushions in all sizes, making it easy to try different sizes to find the one that works best for you. Once you've identified your ideal size, you can order replacement pillows in the same size. Ordering a Fit Pack is truly the most convenient way to determine the best nasal pillow mask size for you.
To find the sizing guide for the mask you’re interested in, look on the CPAP.com product page or check the manufacturer’s website. Once you've found the sizing guide for your mask, print it out and use it to measure your nose to find the right cushion size for you.

The AirFit P10 Nasal Pillow Mask is lightweight and extremely quiet, checking in at around 21 decibels. This means it makes less noise than rustling leaves or two people whispering.

The DreamWear Gel Nasal Pillow Mask and AirFit P30i are both engineered with a wide-open field of vision that you'll love, giving you the freedom to send a text to a loved one or read a book before bed—all while wearing your CPAP mask. The open view is made possible by a top-of-head hose connection, which keeps your CPAP tube out and away from your nose and also enables 360 degrees of movement. It's a win-win for any bookworm, smartphone user, or newshound.

The ResMed Swift FX is on many of our "best of" lists for a good reason. We call it the easiest mask to adjust because it uses a buckle strap on the top of your head and features a low-profile backstrap—the only points you’ll need to adjust. Complicated adjustments in the middle of the night when you're half asleep are certainly not fun, which is one reason why the easy adjustments on the Swift FX have made this mask stand the test of time.

Nasal pillow masks and nasal masks are closely related in the way that they only deliver air to your nose, but they differ in their approach and design. Nasal pillows seal at the base of each nostril and are about the size of blueberries. A nasal mask seals over your entire nose in a triangular shape, which is about the size of a strawberry. Nasal masks with a nasal cradle design that sits under the nose, such as the AirFit N30i, are also becoming more popular.

Nasal pillow masks differ from nasal prong masks, because the nasal prong actually inserts into the nostril. Nasal prong masks are typically used when nasal pillow masks can't create a good enough seal for the wearer but are rarely prescribed and are usually the last resort. Most doctors will try a nasal mask to see if that works before resorting to a nasal prong mask.
I have used another mask for about 8 years. The AirFit P10 Nasal Pillow mask is the best mask I've ever used, and I've used a CPAP for 15 years. It is very lightweight and comes with 3 different sizes of nose pillows. Give it a test drive - you'll like it.

Although my last nasal pillow mask was comfortable, I've been waiting forever for a mask with a top-mounted hose. I hated to be restricted to sleeping on my back or the side toward the machine. The DreamWear is super soft, super comfortable. And if you and your wife/partner like to spoon/snuggle, this is definitely the mask for you.

I have been using this type of CPAP mask for 4 or 5 years, and I am absolutely thrilled with it compared to the full or half masks. The only drawback is when my sinus is bothering me. Fortunately, it seems I have been having less sinus trouble with this Nasal Pillow CPAP Mask.

I have only good things to say about this mask. It is very similar to one I owned in the past. Easy to hook on, use, and take care of. Shipped in record time. Nose pillows are perfect for me. Will most definitely order again!

This headgear is much better for the nasal pillows, it puts the air hose on the top of your head so nothing is hanging from your face while sleeping. If you roll over a lot, you will find this better than the traditional style masks.

I LOVE this new product. I have been looking for comfortable nasal pillows for about a year. I have been using a CPAP for a little over a year and do not like the Nasal Masks. I can use them but really like the pillows, but I could not find any I liked for very long. I have just started using the Brevida, and I really love it. So far, so good. All of the pillows kind of bothers my nose as I have one side narrower than the other. But the cushioning around the actual nasal part is pretty comfortable. A lot softer than most Nasal Pillows. The headgear is not too bad either. I am fussy about straps on my cheekbones, but this headgear is not all that bad. I am a restless sleeper, and it stays in place pretty well.

Delivered quickly, well packaged. I have used this style for over a year and very satisfied. The mask is quiet and it allows more freedom of movement and “No strap marks on the face in the morning”.
