Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) masks and headgear come in many styles and sizes to comfortably treat your sleep apnea. Everyone has different preferences, needs and face shapes and sizes may vary across different mask styles and brands. You may need to try different mask styles before you find the one that works the best for you.
