Pico Nasal Mask by Philips Respironics
The Pico Nasal Mask with Headgear from Philips Respironics is one of the lightest and smallest traditional nasal CPAP masks on the market. This nasal mask offers simplicity and comfort with a secure fit. The headgear straps rest comfortably against the face with minimal contact and the mask consists of just a few simple parts for quick and easy assembly and disassembly. The compact frame features a narrow connecting bridge that leaves an open line of sight open for watching TV and reading. The headgear and frame are so light, you won't feel like you're wearing a mask at all!
Sizing Options
Size is not a problem with the Pico Nasal CPAP Mask because there is a FitPack option which takes the guesswork out of choosing the correct size by including all three sizes of nasal cushions (small/medium, large and extra large). Users also have the option of choosing just one cushion size. We recommend consulting the Pico Sizing Gauge to determine the appropriate size nasal cushion if this is your first time using the Pico Nasal Mask.
Adjustable Headgear
The Pico's headgear is made from a soft fabric that won't irritate your face and offers simplicity. With the headgear including Velcro tabs that can be adjusted easily, it helps provide you with a personalized fit for your therapeutic needs. The crown-shaped headgear will offer users further stability while they're sleeping at night.
Dual Layered Cushion
The Pico cushion is composed of a high-quality silicone material and it features a dual-layered configuration with a soft nasal cushion. The outer layer seals against your face while you exhale the inner layer delivers enhanced support, and comfortably fits well keeping the mask sealed in its proper alignment. This mask is designed to provide simplicity comfort and seal above other masks on the market.

FAQ
Is this the lightest mask on the market?
It's one of the top two or three. The exact weights will depend on the size of your cushion, but this is the lightest mask that Respironics has ever made.
How do I clean the Pico Nasal Mask?
Daily: cushion
Weekly: frame, elbow, headgear
Disassemble the mask before cleaning and hand wash all parts with mild soap and water. Rinse each part thoroughly under running water and air dry away from direct sunlight. Squeeze excess water out from the headgear before laying it flat to air dry.
Regular mask cleaning helps control bacterial growth and prolongs the lifespan of the silicone cushion. CPAP wipes can be used in place of soap and water for quicker, hassle-free mask maintenance.

This is a very nice, lightweight mask. The design is really simple, the entire strap headgear is one part and it’s just threaded through the nose mask. I’ll go over the main points of this mask but TLDR: it’s very comfortable and easy to use.
Ease of use- There’s no fancy setup needed with this mask as it’s a straightforward system. No type of magnetic clasp or quick release system so taking it off might not be as easy as other masks, but I didn’t find this to be impactful in any way. Also, if you order the Fitpack you’ll get all three sizes of nose cushions so that lets you play around with what fits you the best.
Comfortability- As I mentioned, the headgear is a very light, cloth system that goes around your head. It has four straps which can all be adjusted, so I had no problem finding a perfect fit (and you shouldn’t either). What this all means is that at night, the mask feels incredibly lightweight and comfortable. The nose bridge is nice and thin too so I have no problems wearing my reading glasses when I’m reading in bed. Forehead contact is good too, it spreads out the force and doesn’t leave any kind of imprint.
Performance- NO leakage detected which is always great. I only had faint red lines the first night but I made some adjustments and now I don’t have any of those problems. A subtle feature I appreciated is that the air doesn’t vent straight into my eyes like on a past mask I had. That really helped me get some more restful sleep.
I really like Respironics masks and lightweight masks so when I saw the Pico, it seemed like a match made in heaven. I’ve been using it for a month now and I have nothing but positives to say. It barely feels like it’s even there when I’m sleeping.
There isn’t much to the mask other than the headgear and the cushion, but I think the cushion is fantastic. Fitpack option is a must and one of the reasons I like Respironics products so much. The Fitpack comes with all three cushion sizes so you can practically guarantee you’ll find the rest one. No leakage or red line issues in my time using it, and it’s pretty easy to clean.
Really soft minimal headgear is nice. The material is like a thick, almost velour type cloth that’s very comfortable. It does get a little hot though. The adjustment straps are Velcro which I know is always a durability concern, but the bottom straps clip into the cushion so I just take it off using that anyways. I guess my only concern would be the nose bridge support, on some other model masks I used in the past, that part would sometimes break. Haven’t had any issues yet so as of now, the mask gets full marks.
Finally a good mask from Philips that rivals the Wisp. German Shepherd decided he wanted to know what CPAP mask taste like or it looked like his toy so of course he broke it into pieces even Mcgyver himself couldn't piece back together. (dog was in for a treat) I decided to give this mask a try and it was worth every penny. Associate recommended it to me and it was a wise choice as it sits comfortably on my face. Cushion fits like the wisp so if you don't know your size this will help and they also have the fitpack.
This is my 2nd Pico nasal mask and it's very comfortable allowing me to sleep really well. Only draw back is at times the air will escape slightly. If I tighten my face will be pulled hard but slightly loosen air escape for a short while. But I still love this product!!
Subject: Mostly good for me
I like the light weight and the band that goes over the top of my head to hold the upper straps in place.
The clasp system is difficult to navigate for me, and the XL mask still rides on the bridge of my rather large nose.
Subject: Old but good
I have been using this mask many years and and occasionally replacing from respshop. the mask has served me very well and it hasn't had any breakdowns or failures other than expected wear over time. it is comfortable too.

Wonderful!!.. I'm sleeping again..no tossing and turning. I am on higher pressure, so I needed the support at nasal bridge-wisp leaked constantly..very happy..buying spare today, and it's so much more reasonably priced.
This mask is a good mask. Comfortable mask and headgear. I will definitely recommend this mask to my friends.
It is good to me. No air leakage but some time with condense water. Overall performance is very good.
A great mask, easy to wear, fit on my face and easy to clean. Highly recommend.
