New CPAP Mask Not Fitting? Here’s Why—And How to Fix It Fast
You’ve just unpacked your new CPAP mask, ready for a peaceful night’s sleep—only to discover it won’t connect to your tubing. Frustrating, right? Don’t worry—this is a common (and easily fixable) issue.
All the CPAP masks we carry are designed with universal fittings, so they’re compatible with standard CPAP tubing. If your new mask isn’t clicking into place, the problem is usually a leftover adapter piece from your previous mask that’s still lodged in the tubing.
Here’s a quick way to find out:
Step 1: Squeeze the End of Your Tubing
Gently press the rubber end of the tube.
If it squishes easily, nothing is stuck—your mask should fit.
If it’s firm or unyielding, there’s likely a plastic swivel or connector piece jammed inside.
Once that hidden piece is removed, your new mask should slide in smoothly and securely.
