ResMed Chin Strap
The ResMed Chin Strap is a simple, effective solution for nasal and pillow mask users whose mouth falls open during CPAP or BiPAP therapy. The soft chin cup cradles the jaw gently and a single top strap fastens at the crown of the head with Velcro for a customisable, one-size-fits-all fit. Made from breathable neoprene and Breathoprene — lightweight enough to wear all night without overheating. Fits over or under most CPAP mask headgear. Helps reduce mouth breathing, dry mouth, dry throat, and aerophagia (air swallowing). Hand wash in warm water with mild detergent. Chin strap only — mask not included.

ResMed Chin Strap — Overview
The ResMed Chin Strap is a simple, clinically practical accessory for nasal and nasal pillow mask users who experience mouth breathing during CPAP or BiPAP therapy. When the mouth falls open during sleep, pressurised therapy air escapes through the oral cavity rather than being delivered to the airways — reducing therapy effectiveness and causing dry mouth, dry throat, and aerophagia (air swallowing). A chin strap addresses this directly by supporting the jaw in a closed position throughout the night, encouraging nasal breathing and preserving the integrity of the therapy pressure delivered by the machine.
The ResMed Chin Strap uses a single-strap minimalist design: a soft chin cup cradles the jaw, and one strap runs up to the crown of the head where it fastens with an adjustable Velcro closure. The single-strap approach keeps the design low-profile and cool — there are no additional cheek or forehead straps to add bulk or trap heat. The Breathoprene material used in the strap is specifically designed for breathability during overnight wear, addressing one of the most common complaints about neoprene chin straps: overheating. The ~27" total length and Velcro adjustability make this a one-size-fits-all solution compatible with a wide range of head sizes.
The chin strap is designed to be worn over or under most CPAP mask headgear — giving flexibility to position it however best suits your mask and head shape. It does not interfere with nasal or pillow mask seals when worn correctly. For patients already using a nasal or pillow mask but experiencing mouth leak side effects, this is typically the first and most cost-effective intervention before considering a switch to a full face mask.

Signs You May Need a Chin Strap
- Waking with a dry mouth or dry throat despite using a humidifier
- CPAP data showing high unintentional leak events during the night
- Aerophagia — waking with bloating, belching, or gas caused by swallowing pressurised air
- Partner reporting that your mouth is open during sleep while using CPAP
- Waking feeling unrested despite the machine recording good therapy hours
- Therapy working well with mask sealed — but dry mouth persisting despite correct humidifier settings
💡 Chin strap vs full face mask: For nasal or pillow mask users experiencing mouth breathing, a chin strap is typically the first and most affordable intervention to try before switching to a full face mask. A full face mask adds seal area, weight, and complexity — a chin strap simply supports the jaw at a fraction of the cost. If the chin strap resolves dry mouth and leak events, it confirms mouth breathing was the cause. If issues persist, a full face mask may be the more appropriate long-term solution — our team can help you assess which is right for your situation.
🧼 Care instructions: Hand wash weekly with warm water and a mild detergent or baby shampoo. Rinse thoroughly. Air dry away from direct sunlight and heat. Do not machine wash or tumble dry — heat and mechanical agitation degrade the neoprene and Breathoprene materials and reduce the elasticity of the strap.
⚠️ Nasal and pillow masks only: The ResMed Chin Strap is designed for use with nasal masks and nasal pillow masks. It is not required or recommended for use with full face masks, which already cover both the nose and mouth. If you use a full face mask and are experiencing therapy issues, contact our team for guidance on +971 56 593 5931.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will this work with my AirFit P10 or AirFit N20 mask?
Yes — the ResMed Chin Strap is compatible with all nasal and pillow masks including the AirFit P10, P30i, N20, N30i, and equivalent Philips Respironics masks. It can be worn over or under the mask headgear depending on which positioning you find more comfortable and secure.
Is the chin strap adjustable for larger or smaller heads?
Yes — the ~27" strap with Velcro fastening at the top of the head is adjustable to fit a wide range of adult head sizes. Adjust the Velcro closure until the chin cup sits snugly under the jaw without pulling the chin upward or feeling uncomfortable.
Should I wear the chin strap over or under my headgear?
Either is possible — the strap is designed to work both ways. Most users prefer to put the mask headgear on first and then fit the chin strap over the top, which keeps the mask clips and straps easily accessible. Try both positions for your specific mask and choose whichever feels more secure and comfortable through the night.
Can a chin strap replace a full face mask for mouth breathers?
For many nasal mask users, yes — a chin strap can effectively manage mouth breathing and eliminate the need to switch to a full face mask. However, if mouth breathing is severe or the chin strap does not fully resolve dry mouth and leak events, a full face mask may be the more appropriate solution. Contact our team on +971 56 593 5931 for a personalised recommendation.
