I have a “medium to short” length beard. I’m looking for reviews from folks that use a full mask CPAP. Thanks!
Hey, thanks so much for your question! Congratulations on starting your new CPAP journey — it can definitely take some trial and error to find the right fit, especially with a beard.
Beards can affect how well a full-face mask seals. Many people with medium to short beards find certain masks work better depending on the cushion and seal type.
A few things to consider:
-
Mask cushion material: Silicone often seals better over facial hair than gel or cloth.
-
Adjustable headgear: Helps improve fit without overtightening.
-
Nasal pillow vs. full-face: Some users with beards prefer nasal pillows to avoid the full seal over hair.

With a little experimentation, you should be able to find a comfortable option that works well for you!
