Abstract
A cushion for a patient interface includes an outer membrane providing a sealing structure adapted to form a seal with the patient's face in use and an underlying membrane generally spaced away from the outer membrane. The underlying membrane provides a support structure for the outer membrane. The outer membrane and the underlying membrane each have an inner edge which defines an aperture to receive the patient's nose in use. The underlying membrane is segmented along its inner edge.
