CPAP Masks for Side Sleepers

CPAP Masks: A Comfortable CPAP Therapy For Side Sleepers

Patients with sleep apnea can benefit from CPAP mask designs that allow them to sleep in almost any posture. Most CPAP masks can adjust to active sleepers that move about a lot. While sleeping in the right posture can assist with sleep apnea, CPAP therapy with a correctly fitting mask allows for more flexibility while maintaining CPAP compliance.

Sleeping on the side is a preferred way to sleep for patients suffering from sleep apnea. Sleeping on the side prevents the chances of sleep apnea occurring during the night and helps in digestion, and much more. 

CPAP masks for side sleepers enable a comfortable CPAP therapy for a reliable sleeping position for CPAP users.
