There is disclosed an improved breathing assistance device. The breathing assistance device comprises a nasal mask, an upper mouth piece and a frame attached to the upper mouth piece. The frame and nasal mask are arranged such that, when the device is worn by a user, the frame contacts the nasal mask and applies pressure to the nasal mask such that the nasal mask can be worn without straps. A method of using a breathing assistance device is also disclosed.
