CPAP Mask Leaks and Claustrophobia: Finding the Balance
A CPAP mask should feel comfortable while maintaining a reliable seal. However, tightening the straps too much can sometimes make the mask feel more restrictive.
Minimal-contact designs can reduce the amount of material touching the face, but correct sizing remains important. Nasal pillow and under-nose masks also require consistent nasal breathing.
If mouth breathing causes leakage, a different mask design may be more suitable. The goal is to find a balance between comfort, facial coverage, and effective airflow.
