CPAP Pillow

For people with sleep apnea, continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy can make all the difference in the world, and in some cases, even save their lives. The purpose of CPAP is to deliver as much air pressure as needed to keep a person’s airway open (in the case of obstructive sleep apnea) or to maintain a person’s regular uninterrupted breathing (in the case of central sleep apnea).

People with sleep apnea who use continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy have air blowing into their noses every night. And when you consider that in the case of obstructive sleep apnea, the airflow must be strong enough to keep their airways open, it’s easy to understand that there could be problems.

There are numerous styles and sizes of CPAP masks available, which is a good thing since each one of us has a unique facial shape. You will probably have to work very closely with your doctor and CPAP supplier to find a CPAP mask that fits properly.
