There are three main CPAP mask types: 1) Nasal masks cover only the nose and work well for most users who breathe through their nose. 2) Full face masks cover both nose and mouth, ideal for mouth breathers or those with nasal congestion. 3) Nasal pillow masks are minimal designs that seal at the nostrils, great for active sleepers and those who feel claustrophobic.
