If you want to use different brands you might want to check with the manufacturers. For the most part, machines and masks are generally compatible. However, sometimes CPAP machines cannot be used in conjunction with all sleep apnea masks. When in doubt, take the time to find out.

What is a nasal mask?
A nasal mask is an excellent mask for those who are just beginning CPAP therapy. It fits comfortably around the nose and is held there by way of special headgear or straps.

What is a full-face mask?
As the name implies, the full-face sleep apnea mask covers not just the nose, but also the mouth. This CPAP device also makes use of straps or headgear and is the best choice for those who prefer to breathe through their mouths instead of their noses.
