Patients relying on CPAP therapy know how important it is to be
comfortable. Quite often, CPAP masks can irritate the skin, cause
rashes and offer an overall uncomfortable experience. If you are
struggling with skin irritation, air leaks, and red pressure
marks…the CPAP Comfort Cover can help.
The Comfort Cover is designed using an ultra-absorbent
blend of polyester and cotton fabric that provides a comfortable
barrier between your face and mask.
American-made and patent pending
Elastic lining keeps the cover in place.
Covers can be laundered and worn over and over again.

Care for your CPAP Comfort Covers
CPAP Comfort Cover is made of a soft, dura ble fabric. Covers
are pre-washed. Wash in cold water using perfume and dye free
detergents. Dry on high heat. Covers may be cut if needed and won’t
unravel as they are a knitted material.
Sizing
CPAP Comfort Cover is compatible with most
full-face and nasal masks. Find your mask to select correct cover
size:
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Will my Comfort Cover prevent
air leaks?
You should find that the soft fabric of our covers provide an
effective barrier between the mask and your face. Depending on the
style of mask, this can lessen the problem of air leaks. Don't be
lax because your mask will be more comfortable. You still need to
keep the straps tightened to reduce air leaks.
2.
What if my CPAP machine shows I have air leaks? Some
CPAP machines don’t necessarily register leaks correctly when there
is a cloth interface. Many sleep techs have told us that if you
sleep better wearing a cover and your AHI is under control, you are
more assured of continuing with your sleep therapy. If this is the
case, a machine indicating air leaks might not be a concern.
3. What if I wear an Eson nasal, Simplus or AirFit F20 full
face mask? Snap the cushion into the mask frame before
attaching a cover.
4. What if I wear a Mirage Quattro
or Comfort Gel Blue full face mask? There is not room at
the top of the mask for the cover to grasp. These masks have tabs on
each side that hold the seal in place. Loop the elastic over each
tab. Once you have trimmed the nose/mouth hole to fit your face, the
tension in the fabric will ease and the cover should stay in
place.
5. Will the nose/mouth hole in the Comfort
Cover fit my face? You wear a specific style and size of
mask for a reason. One size does not fit all where masks are
concerned. The same is true of CPAP Comfort Covers.
It is important that to get the full
benefit from our covers they must properly fit your individual
mask and face.
There are over fifty different mask
styles and sizes that we cover. For this reason, they are
fabricated with a small starter hole in the center. This allows
you to cut the opening to best fit your needs. See the
Instructions category for information. A video is also available
on manufacturer's website cpapcomfortcover.com.
6. What type of cloth is used to
make the Comfort Covers? Our covers are fabricated from
a blend of cotton for softness and absorbency combined with
polyester for durability. An “American Made” article under
categories on our website tells more about the fabric and
construction of the covers.
7. Does a Comfort Cover's
elastic contain latex? No, we use latex-free elastic
that is sewn into a cloth casing so that the elastic does not touch
your skin. If you have concerns about the elastic, speak with your
physician.
8. What is the best way to clean my
covers? Before they are packaged, our covers are
laundered in a dermatologist approved detergent free of dyes or
perfumes. They then are placed in a re-sealable bag separate from
the other items included in your order.
With proper care your Comfort Cover can
be used over and over. The cover is a cotton/polyester blend. It
is machine washable or may be laundered by hand. Use cold water.
A cover can be placed in a dryer, low or medium heat, or line
dried.
If the fabric has stretched, launder in
hot water and dry on high heat to tighten the fabric.
9. Do the Comfort Covers work on any
type of CPAP mask? We attempt to offer covers to fit the
most popular masks available on the market. There are two
considerations important to fabricating a cover:
Will the elastic in the outer edge be
able to grasp the mask so that there is a good fit and the cover
does not accidentally slip off?
Will there be enough material to
completely cover the mask without impeding the effectiveness of
the mask's design while keeping facial skin from coming into
contact with the silicone of the cushion? There are a few
masks we don’t cover. Their head gear must provide a surface or
tab for the latex-free elastic to grip. If there are special
suggestions for fitting a cover on a particular mask, that
information will be shown in that mask's product description
section on our website cpapcomfortcover.com.
10. Will my Comfort Cover eliminate
the red pressure marks that my mask puts on my face? For
some people, prolonged use of a mask leads to facial skin irritation
and even persistent rash and sores. Red pressure marks are common
even without allergic irritations. Our covers provide a soft and
absorbent liner between your skin and the silicone of the mask. A
well-fitting mask will still apply pressure to your skin. However,
there is a good chance that any redness that might appear could be
less severe than without a cover. We are not physicians or
licensed sleep technicians. If you develop problems such as skin
deterioration or sores on your face or nose, contact your doctor.
11. How will my wearing a Comfort Cover impact my sleep
partner? With fewer air leaks, your therapy will be more
quiet which is a benefit to your sleep partner.
12.
Will my Comfort Cover restrict the air flow to my mask?
When you cut the nose/mouth hole so that the fabric still covers the
silicone but not your nose or mouth, air flow should not be
restricted. However, since air leaks should be reduced, you might
perceive a slightly different feeling against your skin from when
you did not wear a Comfort Cover.
13. I have a beard.
Will a cover be comfortable for me? We have been told
that the covers are more comfortable than having silicone pressing
against facial hair.
14. Are there color choices for
my Comfort Covers? The color we offer is "Comfort Cover"
blue.
15. How many Comfort Covers will I get in an
order? You receive two covers in a package. This allows
one to be laundered while you use the other. The covers may be used
over and over. Having two covers also allows you to use both at the
same time if you need additional padding.
