One way to manage your sleep apnea is by using a full face mask. Full face masks cover both the nose and mouth and are designed to provide a secure seal, allowing for uninterrupted oxygen flow as you sleep.
With so many options on the market, it’s important to understand which type is right for you.
Choosing the best cpap full face mask for sleep apnea can be challenging but it doesn’t have to be. There are broad ranges of sleep apnea masks available in the market for side sleepers.
We know the post says 4 best, but we have added a fifth and updated this post because it is too good to leave out.
