Water In Your Mask?
If you’re a CPAP user, waking up with water on your face can be a truly disturbing experience.
Half awake, you start worrying that something is wrong with your CPAP.
Don’t be alarmed. This is a fairly common problem known as rainout.
Rainout occurs when the temperature of the room (often from air-conditioning) is colder than the temperature of the humidified air traveling through your CPAP tube.
Mask Uncomfortably Hot?
Do you find your mask becoming unbearably hot against your face during the night?
Or you wake up feeling like there’s a layer of grime between your skin and the seal?
Your mask feeling too hot can make it difficult to stay compliant with your CPAP and still feel like you’re getting a good night’s rest.
Don’t worry—we have a number of solutions to help you deal with a hot mask.
