How can I reduce CPAP mask leaks?Updated 2 months ago

To minimize leaks, try the following:

  • Adjust the straps so the mask is snug but not overly tight.
  • Clean the cushion daily to remove facial oils that reduce sealing effectiveness.
  • Try a different mask size or style if leaks persist.
  • Use mask liners to improve the seal and reduce irritation.

Leaks often occur due to an improper fit, worn-out cushions, or changes in sleeping position.
