Can I wear my CPAP mask if I have facial hair?Updated 2 months ago

Yes, but some mask types work better than others. Nasal pillow masks are the best option for users with beards, as they seal inside the nostrils. If using a full-face mask, the ResMed AirTouch F20 (memory foam cushion) conforms better to facial hair than silicone cushions.

Trimming your beard or using mask liners can also help improve the seal.
