Step 7: Fit your mask

Fit your mask. If your doctor prescribed a specific mask and size, follow the fitting instructions provided by the manufacturer. If you received a mask with multiple cushions, follow these instructions:

There is a mask cushion currently attached to the frame of your mask. This size fits most patients. Once you begin therapy, if your mask is leaking or feels uncomfortable, try removing the existing cushion and replacing it with a different size cushion. If you are between sizes, it is best to use the larger cushion. Use the Fitting Template (for nasal mask and full face mask) and/or the manufacturer's instructions included with your mask for help.
