Solving common CPAP mask leaks
Why your CPAP mask keeps leaking
A leaking mask can quietly undo a good night's sleep — even when everything else about your therapy is right. Most leaks come down to fit, not failure: a worn cushion, the wrong mask type, or a seal that's shifted overnight.
The signs are easy to miss at first. Dry mouth, whistling air, or waking up more than usual can all point to a seal that's no longer doing its job.
The good news: leaks are usually simple to fix. A cleaner mask, a small strap adjustment, or a liner built for your mask type can restore the seal without starting over.
Not sure what your mask needs?
Liners, chin straps, and mouth tape can close small gaps and quiet a noisy seal — often without replacing the mask itself.
Still haven't found your best fit?
Answer a few quick questions about your sleep habits and comfort preferences, and we'll point you toward the mask that fits your life.
