How can I find a CPAP mask that is best for me?
Just like everyone's face, CPAP masks come in different styles and sizes. The SleepWeaver products fit into two separate categories:
- Nasal mask (covers your nose)
- Full face mask (covers your mouth and nose)
How do I know if I should use a nasal or a full face CPAP mask?
The first question to ask yourself is: Do you tend to breathe mainly through your nose or through your mouth when you sleep?
If you primarily use your nose, then you can choose a CPAP nasal mask. These masks connect either around your nose or directly to the nostrils of your nose. On the other hand, if you use your mouth more when you sleep, then you'll need a CPAP full-face mask that covers both the nose and the mouth.

The SleepWeaver Élan is also a nasal mask that features exhalation holes under the mask to match up with your natural exhalation. The “loose fit” prevents strap marks, and the open-face headgear design accommodates eyeglasses and allows virtually unrestricted vision—great for people who like to fall asleep while reading or watching TV. The SleepWeaver Elan is also available in a small, regular and large size.

The final step in finding the best CPAP mask is to make sure you find the right size.
Your goal to achieve a good fit with a SleepWeaver mask it to make sure it is not too loose and not too tight. It is hard to get a good seal and a comfortable fit if you have the wrong size mask.
To avoid this problem, prior to purchasing your CPAP mask it is a good idea to size yourself. Please view SleepWeaver Universal Sizing Guide to determine which size product is best suited for your facial features.
Many people can fit more than one size. So if the mask is still leaking air (especially around the bridge of the nose for a nasal or full face mask) it might be worth trying a different mask size to find one that's perfect.
Don’t assume if you’re male you need a larger mask size or if you’re female you need a smaller one. Your mask size depends on several key measurements of your face.
