Putting on cpap mask sitting up

[hcolema1]

Should you put on the cpap mask sitting up to get a good seal? Sometimes I might just lay in bed and lift my head and put it on if I’m too tired

Lying down makes more sense, unless you sleep sitting up.

Doesn't matter...whatever works for YOU.

Depends on the mask and/or how much it might change the seal when laying down.
Usually nasal masks don't change all that much.
I put my mask on sitting on the edge of the bed because I don't trust myself to lay down and "I'll put in on in a minute" and the next thing I know I have been asleep 2 or 3 hours without mask.
This would be a nasal pillow mask or the Bleep which has go to on in the bathroom.

I don't think it really matters as long as the mask stays sealed. Now sometimes a full face mask might change the seal once a person is laying on the bed but I don't see nasal masks changing all that much or to a point that a minor movement would fix it anyway. If I was doing a full face mask I would start the fitting while sitting up but finish it as soon as I got reclined.

Easier to put on headgear when bedding is out of the way--so, sitting up.
