CPAP Mask Sizing and Fitting Guide for the UAE

A well-fitting CPAP mask should provide a comfortable seal without excessive strap tension. Use this checklist to compare styles, choose a model-specific size and identify when to ask for fitting help.

Choose the style, then the size

• Nasal pillows seal at the nostrils; nasal and cradle masks seal around or under the nose. These options depend on comfortable nasal breathing.
• Full-face and hybrid masks cover the mouth as well as the nose or the area beneath it. Ask your clinician or fitting provider whether this style suits your breathing needs.
• Use the sizing template for the exact mask model, printed at the scale stated by the manufacturer. Size labels and between-size advice are not universal.
• Check the selected package: a fit pack may contain several cushion sizes, but a single-size listing may not.

Check the fit during therapy

Follow the mask’s fitting instructions and make the final adjustment in your usual sleeping position with prescribed therapy running. Avoid overtightening. Check for air escaping toward the eyes, discomfort or persistent leaks; ask for help if these continue.

Review magnetic-clip contraindications for both the wearer and anyone in close physical contact. Read ResMed’s current magnet guidance.

Compatibility and care

AirMini needs a compatible AirMini mask setup, not a standard hose connection. Cleaning also depends on the cushion material; follow the model’s instructions, especially for memory foam.

Persistent symptoms or changes in reported breathing events are not proof of a mask problem alone. Ask your clinician to review them rather than changing pressure yourself.
