If you’re someone who moves around a lot when sleeping, you may want to mention this to your physician when you’re discussing the best sleep apnea mask for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A large, bulky mask may be difficult for you to sleep in, especially if you find yourself moving around a lot. A nasal pillow will allow you to move around more freely without having to worry about disrupting your mask in the middle of the night. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is something you’ll want to consider if you move around throughout the night. A nasal pillow will sit comfortably on your face where it should while you freely toss and turn when you sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike larger sleep apnea masks, nasal pillows provide users with more open vision, allowing them to do things such as read or watch TV before they are ready to fall asleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s also ideal if you’re not a fan of the other full face masks available. If you’re looking for a comfortable mask that allows you more room and access to see what’s in front of you more clearly, you can’t go wrong with nasal pillows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other sleep apnea masks can get in the way of facial hair, making them tedious and uncomfortable. As we stated earlier, nasal pillows provide minimal facial coverage, making it ideal for patients with beards and mustaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seeing how lightweight these masks are and the minimal contact with your face, they are ideal sleep apnea masks for those with facial hair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of the larger sleep apnea masks available today can be overwhelming to some patients who feel claustrophobic while wearing them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nasal pillows are an ideal fix for those who wish to wear masks that don’t cover most of their face. It’s also suitable for those who experience feelings of extreme anxiety while feeling claustrophobic. This can make those who wear larger masks to sleep trouble relaxing and feeling calm while wearing them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we stated earlier, nasal pillows don’t take up most of your face and are also a comfortable alternative that doesn’t have too much direct contact with your face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re feeling overwhelmed with some of the sleep apnea masks available out there, you may want to look into nasal pillows, which are a much more comfortable and lightweight option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While we discussed earlier that this is an uncommon issue, your nostrils can stretch uncomfortably if your nasal pillow is not correctly fitted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is an easy fix, but it’s another factor to be mindful of when investing in a nasal pillow. Taking the time to talk to your physician about what feels the most comfortable is crucial before you get home only to have your mask feel uncomfortable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nasal pillows may not be the best option for those who strictly breathe out of their mouths while they sleep. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since these kinds of masks are designed to sit right at the patient’s nostril-entrance, someone who doesn’t usually breathe out of their nose may not prefer this kind of mask while sleeping. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, some patients who breathe out of their mouths while they sleep can still comfortably sleep with nasal pillows. If you’re someone who breathes out of their mouth regularly, nasal pillows can still be used comfortably with a strap attached that stays securely around your chin to keep your mask in place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There have been many reports of those who use nasal pillows experiencing nasal dryness. Some of these issues can result in nosebleeds in some patients, so it’s essential to be mindful of this factor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While this is not the case for everyone, it’s important to talk to your physician first before investing in nasal pillows. If you already struggle with nasal dryness or any nose bleeds, it’s essential to bring this up beforehand before wearing nasal pillows to the bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those with sensitive skin, a nasal pillow may cause a reaction due to the plastic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
