It’s every CPAP user’s worst nightmare: you wake up to find part of your CPAP mask has broken. You won’t be able to continue your CPAP therapy without replacing a part or the whole mask altogether. Replacing your supplies and getting back to a good night’s rest becomes priority number one. For some masks, individual parts may be available for replacement. Unfortunately, many masks will need to be replaced entirely when pieces break, as they are not manufactured in individual pieces.
Here’s some helpful tips for dealing with a broken CPAP mask:
1. Have a backup ready for emergencies.
Insurance typically cover new supplies every month to 3 months. To make sure you have what you need, you’ll want a backup mask and extra mask parts such as headgear and cushions or nasal pillows. These supplies need regular replacing and are pivotal to you continuing your CPAP therapy.
Newer designs for masks are released every year as well, and the best option for your specific needs may have changed since you last replaced your supplies. Make sure you’re getting the right supplies to match your needs and that you can replace them regularly as scheduled.

2. Make sure you have optimal pressure for you and your CPAP mask.
If your pressure settings aren’t perfect for your needs, you may find yourself overtightening your mask to keep the seal firm. The added pressure leads to extra wear on your supplies, which can cause them to break early. New auto-titrating machines like ResMed’s AirSense 11 AutoSet adjust to your pressure needs automatically, and have a number of advanced features such as:
- Humidification: Regulates humidity and temperature to match your needs and environment
- AutoRamp: Starts your therapy at a low pressure to ensure you fall asleep comfortably
