Collection: CPAP Nasal Cradle Masks

Looking for a CPAP mask that feels easy, comfortable, and not bulky? Nasal cradle CPAP masks, like the popular ResMed AirFit N30 nasal cradle and AirFit N30i, are designed to do just that.

These masks rest gently under your nose, with no prongs in your nostrils, no pressure on the bridge, and no heavy frame on your face. The result? A secure, soft seal that’s ideal for people who want something less invasive for a better night’s sleep.

Why Choose a Nasal Cradle Mask?

Whether you’re just starting CPAP therapy or you’ve had enough of your current mask leaving red marks, a nasal cradle mask could be the refreshing change you need.

Here’s what makes them a great choice:

• Lightweight and low-profile – Ideal for side sleepers and active movers

• Soft under-the-nose seal – Reduces irritation and pressure inside the nostrils

• Minimal contact – Less chance of leaks or discomfort, even if the mask is tilted to the right

• Easy adjustments – make minor adjustments simple, staying in position all night

• Great with facial hair – The seal stays effective even with beards or moustaches

These masks are especially well suited to nose breathers using low to moderate pressure settings. If full face masks feel too bulky or nasal pillows are just too much, a nasal cradle mask offers a gentle, effective alternative.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between a nasal cradle and a nasal pillow mask?
Nasal cradle masks rest just beneath your nostrils, not inside them. That means more comfort, less irritation, and fewer red marks.

Are nasal cradle masks good for side sleepers?
Yes! Thanks to their low-profile fit and flexible design, they're a favourite among side and active sleepers. Even if your mask gets slightly tilted to the right or left, it will likely stay secure.

Do they work with facial hair?
Generally, yes. Since the seal sits under the nose, facial hair doesn’t usually get in the way.

Can these masks handle high pressure?
They’re best for lower to moderate pressures. If you need high-pressure therapy, a nasal or full-face mask may be a better fit.

How do I know if this type of mask is right for me?
If you breathe through your nose, want something easy and lightweight, and prefer minimal contact, a nasal cradle CPAP mask could be exactly what you’re looking for.
