Nasal Pillow CPAP Masks
Nasal pillow CPAP masks are the most compact and lightweight mask style available, featuring soft cushions that seal directly at the nostrils rather than covering the nose. They are ideal for active sleepers, side sleepers, people with facial hair, and those who feel claustrophobic in larger masks.

Nasal Pillow CPAP Masks in Canada: What You Need to Know
A nasal pillow CPAP mask is a minimal-contact mask that uses two small silicone inserts (the “pillows”) to seal at the nostrils, rather than covering the entire nose. The result is a lightweight, low-profile mask design with the smallest footprint of any CPAP mask category.
Nasal pillow masks are also commonly called pillow masks, nose pillow masks, or nasal cushion masks. Some patients refer to them simply as nose pillows or nose pieces. They are the right choice for sleep apnea patients who want a small, non-claustrophobic mask, who sleep on their side or stomach, who wear glasses or read in bed, or who feel suffocated by larger masks.
Nasal pillow masks are best for low-to-moderate pressure settings and require nasal breathing throughout the night. Individuals who mainly breathe through their mouth, or need higher pressure settings may find a full face CPAP mask or a standard nasal CPAP mask more suitable.
How a Nasal Pillow CPAP Mask Works
A nasal pillow CPAP mask delivers pressurized air through two soft silicone inserts that sit just inside the nostrils, creating a seal at the base of the nose. The mask is held in place with a lightweight headgear, and the air tube connects either at the front of the mask or, in newer top-of-head designs, at the crown of the head.
Because the seal is at the nostrils rather than across the nose, nasal pillow masks have far less facial contact than other mask styles. This makes them an excellent choice for patients who feel claustrophobic in larger masks, who shift positions frequently during sleep, or who have struggled with red marks and pressure sores from other mask styles.
Nasal Pillow CPAP Masks We Carry
CPAPSupply.ca carries 12 nasal pillow CPAP masks from ResMed, Fisher & Paykel, and Philips Respironics. We’ve grouped them below by use case to help you find the right fit faster.
Most Popular Nasal Pillow Masks
These are the nasal pillow masks our customers ask for by name. The ResMed AirFit P10 is the most popular nasal pillow mask in Canada, known for its quiet operation and lightweight headgear. The ResMed AirFit P10 For Her is a version of the same mask designed specifically for women, with smaller pillow sizes and a softer headgear. The ResMed Swift FX is a flexible, dual-wall pillow design that adjusts to your facial structure.
Top-of-Head Hose & Minimal-Contact Designs
If you sleep on your side or stomach, wear glasses while reading in bed, or feel restricted by a hose at the front of your face, a top-of-head hose nasal pillow mask is the right pick. The ResMed AirFit P30i connects the air tube at the crown of the head, leaving the front of the face completely clear. The Respironics DreamWear Silicone Nasal Pillow Mask uses a similar over-the-head hose path and is a strong alternative for patients who want maximum freedom of movement.
Specialty & Fit Pack Options
Fit packs include multiple pillow sizes in one box, making them ideal for patients who are uncertain of their size. The F&P Brevida (Fit Pack) uses a unique AirPillow seal that is gentler on the nostrils than traditional pillows. The F&P Pilairo Q is a one-size-fits-all design that adapts to most face shapes. The F&P Nova Micro, F&P Solo, and F&P Opus 360 are additional simple-fit options. The Respironics Nuance Pro features a unique gel-cushioned pillow design, and the ResMed Swift FX For Her rounds out our women’s-specific options.

FAQs About Nasal Pillow CPAP Masks
What size nasal pillows do I need?
Most nasal pillow CPAP masks come in small, medium, and large pillow sizes. Many of our masks are sold as fit packs, which include all three sizes in one box so you can find the right fit without guessing. If you’re new to CPAP therapy or unsure of your size, a fit pack is the safest choice.
What is the difference between a nasal mask and a nasal pillow mask?
A nasal CPAP mask covers the entire nose with a triangular cushion. A nasal pillow mask uses two small silicone inserts that seal at the nostrils only, with no coverage of the nose itself. Nasal pillow masks offer a lighter fit and minimal facial contact, but do require users to breathe through their nose and work best at low-to-moderate pressure settings.
Are nasal pillow masks good for side sleepers?
Yes. Nasal pillow masks are an excellent choice for side and stomach sleepers because they have minimal facial contact and a low profile. Top-of-head hose designs like the ResMed AirFit P30i and the Respironics DreamWear are particularly well-suited to active sleepers, since the hose stays out of the way regardless of sleep position.
Do nasal pillow masks work at high CPAP pressure settings?
Nasal pillow masks are designed for low-to-moderate pressure settings, typically up to around 15 cm H2O. At higher pressures, the air can feel uncomfortable directly at the nostrils, and the seal may become harder to maintain. Patients on high-pressure settings often do better with a traditional nasal mask or a full face mask.
Do I need a prescription to buy a nasal pillow CPAP mask in Canada?
No. A prescription is not required to purchase a nasal pillow CPAP mask in Canada. A prescription is only required for the CPAP machine itself. You can order any nasal pillow mask from CPAPSupply.ca without a prescription, and our team can help you choose a mask that’s compatible with your prescribed pressure setting.
How often should I replace my nasal pillow CPAP mask?
The silicone pillows themselves should be replaced every 2 to 4 weeks, the headgear every 6 months, and the full mask system every 12 months. Replacing the pillows on schedule is the single most important step for maintaining a good seal and effective therapy. Browse our nasal pillow mask parts for replacement pillows and headgear.
