1. Nasal Pillow - My favourite mask! Seals at the nostrils with little pillows that push up gently into the base of the nostrils
Pros- Small, lightweight, minimalistic. Easy to put on and take off. Seals well at lower / mid pressures, less red pressure marks on the face, great for beards and facial hair.
Cons - Can hurt the nostrils in the beginning. Not great at high pressures and can be hard to exhale.
Can't breathe through your mouth.
2. Nasal Cradle - Very similar to the Pillow mask but doesn't have the pillows that push up into the nostril.
Pros- All the same as the Pillow mask and no nasal irritation
Cons - Might not get the same great seal as the pillow. Can be a bit hit and miss at times. Can't breathe through your mouth
3. Nasal Mask - The great all rounder. Covers the nose and has secure headgear.
Pros- Very secure with the straps, better seal at higher pressures, still small and minimal.
Cons - More red marks, more components, more adjustments ( clips and straps etc ). Bridge of the nose issues, can't breathe through mouth.
4. Full Face Mask - Covers the nose and mouth
Pros - Can breathe through nose or mouth
Cons - Big and bulky, more prone to mask leaks, more red marks on face.
5. Hybrid Full Face
Pro - Can breathe through nose and mouth, smaller than standard full face, no bridge of the nose issues. Less red marks
Cons - Can be hard to find the right fit, prone to mask leaks..
