A method of creating a CPAP mask assembly, that makes use of a CPAP mask,including a rigid portion adapted to connect to an air-delivery hose and toprovidestructure and a pliable, soft, face-contacting portion, supported by the rigidportion. Alsoutilized is a mask cover, having an annular piece of bio-compatible, absorbentmaterial,having an outer edge and an inner edge that defines a plain opening and anelastic loopattached about the outer edge, thereby causing the outer edge to retractinwardly. Theelastic loop is then placed over the mask so that the material covers the face-contactingportion and the opening is positioned centrally. Then the elastic loop isreleased,permitting it to retract inwardly so that part of the rigid portion isinterposed between theelastic loop and the inner edge, thereby retaining the mask cover about therigid portion ofthe mask, without deforming the face-contacting portion.
