THANKYOU for the side views and bottom view of chin with this mask! This is something that other's demo videos did not have. It's very effective for understanding proper placement and fit!
This is a review video with the older style mask. The air-vent system has now been completely redesigned and air-vent noise is no longer an issue. The vents are now very very quiet.
You know this is a great mask, but with the Air Touch F20 cushion it goes from great to FANTASTIC ! If you haven't tried it get the cushion, it fits your existing F20 Frame.
Thank you for the video. Very good explanation and showing exactly how it goes on the face. I think I had mine on too low last night as I had some leaks. Cheers and thank you from Australia! I just got my F20 new model yesterday. It looks the same to me
I've just received this from the NHS sleep clinic, to replace the Quattro FX that I've been using for ages. It's certainly a more interesting design, I think it might take a little while to get used to, but the one thing that's really noticeable is how much louder it is when it's on.
Thanks for this review!! I just got my new mask and I’m having some trouble adjusting to it!! However, you hit on all the issues I am having with it. Honestly speaking, I got a headache from it but I thinking I might have had it on too tight.
Would like to see a view from the back. I just got this today. The man fit it to me in-store. Yet at home , it felt like it needed tightening. So I adjusted the velcro . Now the bank of my neck hurts. My lips and tongue are still numb after loosening it. When I exhale, it feels so warm inside which is uncomfortable. I am brand new to CPAP. Air comes out above where the hose connects. Not around the seal. Is this right? 🤷♀️ p.s. your video is the best of the first one I saw.
This is just superb, I have been researching "which cpap mask is best for mouth breathers?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Panvaryor Unexpected Preference - (search on google ) ? It is a great one off guide for discovering how to eradicating sleep apnea and snoring without the headache. Ive heard some decent things about it and my co-worker got great results with it.
Airtouch cushion Tried one at my last mask change, at 20cm/H2o it blew right thru the foam could not get a seal at all no matter how tight I had it. The silicon makes a far better seal.
I am at 20cm of H2o I've been using the airfit f20 for over a year now and I don't like it, I wake up with face farts all the time and have to tighten the head gear some more, it leaves marks on my face. What I hate the worse is how the head gear cuts into the back my neck because I have to have it so tight. Next time I'm due for a mask I'm going to try out the resmed mirage quattro or I hate to think about it but I might have to go to the fitlife total face mask. Seen where they go from 4cm to 40cm/H2o. Watched reviews, some loved it and some hated it, will have to find out for myself.
One thing these videos dont show you is the actual tightness of what the mask will feel like when its actually on the face, and how my head feels when i wake up when i put it on too tight lool. This F20 mask is the best one i have had. It doesnt really leek and i do get a solid 7-8 hours on the regular , i have had this product for a year well worth it if u need a full mask.
I used the Air Fit F20 for the first time last night, after experiencing a year of air leakage using either nose pillows or nose masks. The experience was no different. The mask leaks regardless of how tight a have the mask secured against my face. The mask makes one of two distinct sounds: Ocean waves moving towards the beach, or, someone passing gas. Both sounds kept me awake most of the night. I wonder if the foam cushion, rather than the silicone cushion that comes with my F20 might be a better choice?
I've been using the same mask for a little over a week and have had the same experience as you. Funny thing is the display still indicates that the mask is on correctly even though the mask is leaking.
I too have problems with this mask. I have the model with the foam surround on the cushion. The size chart shows that I need a L size mask. However, I have trouble with leaks even though the machine tells me the fit was ok, also the mask fit check shows it's good. I get nose bruising, with a lump, even though the cushioning feels soft. This may be as a result of overtightening to reduce leakage. I find that the M size gives better seal but sits low on the nose bridge, given further bruising. Also, dry mouth is more of a problem with a full face mask than with nasal pillows and mouth tape. It sure is too expensive to keep trying different mask styles and sizes to find the best fit. It would be good to see some information about adjusting pressures and humidification when using the different mask styles.
Good review thank you! I have this mask and it is very comfortable. I started with the size M which felt like I had a pancake on my face and the top part rested on my nose which caused a red sore . Sooo bought a size L. It seems much better and my nose doesn’t touch the plastic sides ( which really annoyed me!) Mostly I don’t get leaks… except for some reason last night. I have noticed that I now have a red ring around my face where the mask sits. I’ve been using it for roughly 6/7 nights. What would be the cause of the red rash? My other masks didn’t do this.
theF20 silicon is very good but the memory foam cushion is the true home run out of the park , cushion,no red marks or soreness on the upper nose or the eyes .
I was fitted with the cushion mask, but it wasn't comfortable for me. I went back in today and got the AirFit F20. Now I need to know how to move the blue part from one mask to the new one. Can you help me?
I love the mask to. But the silicone cushion keeps tearing up at the top of my nose. I'm getting the third mask this year! First on lasted three months, second 4,5 month. My health insurance company expects me to use a mask for a year. Anyone else has this problem?
I got the Air Touch F20 and it is much better for that nose bruising. In fact it is the ONLY one that works for me. My Insurance covers monthly cushion replacement, and you must replace this cushion as it deteriorates due to it being so soft. So get this cushion, it fits your F20 Frame, then change Insurance Co. ! FYI I use United Healthcare.
I've just started using this mask and, like so many others, absolutely love it. But, like you, Joop, the cushion on my F20 tore at the top ike yours after only 11 days! I'm hoping I have better luck with my next one.
I saw some good reviews about the Air Touch F20 here in youtube. Haven't tried it yet. I don't believe it is available here in the Netherlands, so I would have to order it from the USA. (Even with shipping often cheaper than buying it over here). Unfortunately all Insurance company's over here only cover 1 mask replacement each year...
I got the air fit F30 in a medium and it was to small every time I opened my mouth to breath it moved and felt way to tight. What size is the air fit F20 that you have or have any suggestions? Anyone?
What's the difference in the one with the memory foam cushion ? .. just the foam vs the silicone ? They look identical to me ... I am starting CPAP next week for the first time ever the mask I used during my sleep study made me feel very closterfobic like I was suffocating I didn't like it at all ... but this F20 looks like the one for me
I'm guessing you're referring to the Airtouch F20? Though I haven't personally tried it, the mask with the foam looks to have a more comfortable feel around your face. The nature of the silicone allows you to feel less pressure on your face than you actually have. So in other words, a tightly strapped mask might not feel very tight at all but still create the same level of seal. Memory foam can be a comfortable but fragile material, I'm a bit concerned about bacteria build up in the mask foam and how to wash it away. Also, any memory foam begins to change shape the more you use it, so I'd be interested to see how resistant this memory foam pad is. I might be getting the mask in the near future so I'll keep you posted about my experiences.
Rested Life any tips for a new CPAP user as in I just had my sleep study last week and will be getting my machine Monday. I had one night on the machine during my 2nd night of my study and I must say I DIDN'T LIKE IT .... I felt like I was claustrophobic and I was going to suffocate it was a surprise that I even fell asleep at all ... I am a side sleeper and breathe through my nose and mouth . So I am very interested in this mask your review is very helpful to a newbie .. The mask they put on me was the Respironics Amara View which started to leak on and off throughout the night
golddredgewater i definitely feel air coming out. It’s very light, but can feel it. If you’re sure yours isn’t venting it might be worth asking for a replacement... maybe something is blocking it/or defective?
You may, but I would experiment with adjusting the mask head strap to different settings before buying another size. Look up your masks sizing guide online and make sure to follow all the instructions to check what size is best for you.
If the mask is building pressure on your nose bridge, you can always try loosening up the top straps a bit and compensate by tightening up the bottom straps a bit more. With this mask, tightening it up so it feels snug is enough to avoid leakage and also prevent any nose bruising from my experience. I will say, depending on how much I tighten up the mask on a given night, with the Airfit F20 I might wake up with a small bruise-like spot on the bridge of the nose. However, in my experiences, this spot always goes away after about 5 minutes of removing the mask.
I've just started using CPAP and been using the P10 nasal pillow and the mask is SUPERB, I love it. I don't even feel it on my head. However, I need to buy a backup full face mask for occasions when I get nasal congestion. Since I work with people I am worried about red marks that full face masks leave on the face. Is this mask a bit better in terms of not leaving them or is more or less the same as any other full face mask?
In my opinion, this mask is superior to others I have tried in that respect. I had an Airfit F10 sometime before purchasing the Airfit F20 and it left the worst red marks I have ever had. I also had a Fisher and Paykel Simplus, and that mask would not seal unless it was very tight against my face, which also caused me to wake up with horrible red marks. I'm still using the Airfit F20, and still not getting any red marks or any other issues. If you do end up getting a full face mask and start getting some red marks, you might find this guide to stop CPAP mask irritation useful: restedlife.com/this-is-how-you-stop-cpap-nose-irritation-for-good
@@monicaperez2843 That comment was 3 years ago :) I've eventually bought a Dreamwear full face mask as a backup mask. I only use it few times per year when I can't breathe through my nose. It's very comfortable and leaves zero marks on my face.
You look awfully young to be using CPAP. :) Are you still using the Airfit F20? If not, what are you using now? I just started using this after about 4 years using air pillows. Because I frequently have nasal congestion and end up mouth breathing, my doctor suggest going with full face which I used originally 6 years ago. I have a problem keeping the Airfit F20 properly adjusted. I'm always getting leaks, and sometimes it raises up above my mouth while I'm sleeping. The only way to resolve those issues is to have it extra tight which then makes it very uncomfortable. I'm thing about trying something different but I don't know what. Thanks.
Eddie, sleep apnea happens in all ages, even children. Had the same problems that you mentioned with this mask. Please request that your respiratory therapist do a CPAP mask fitting at her office, not at your home. Bring all your masks with you.
@@monicaperez2843 Wow, that was 7 months ago. LOL. Since then I tried a couple different full face mask. I just don't like them. I went back to the air pillows. Most nights there is not a problem. On the occasional night where I have too much nasal congestion I just skip using my machine.
Has the CPAP made a difference in your well-being? I see you're young and fairly thin like myself. I'm hoping the CPAP will help me not feel like garbage. 😆

This is the best description and review for this mask! Thanks!
Outstanding job of teaching me how to use my mask. Keep demonstrating more videos! Thanks
I got mine about two weeks ago and love it, still using the same machine (had its check, same day I got the F20) I got about 6 maybe 8yrs ago.
I've tried several masks and this is my favorite. It may be a tad too big and will need to go to the next size down but I highly recommend!
This is a review video with the older style mask. The air-vent system has now been completely redesigned and air-vent noise is no longer an issue. The vents are now very very quiet.

Gary Strader I love the AirTouch cushion. I get no leaks whether I sleep on my back or my side. It is so comfortable to wear.
Sounds neat!
Thank you for the video. Very good explanation and showing exactly how it goes on the face. I think I had mine on too low last night as I had some leaks.
Cheers and thank you from Australia! I just got my F20 new model yesterday. It looks the same to me
Been using it for 8 months...works very well!

Have they upgrade the F20 recently so the mask exhaust air noise is quiet ? Maybe like a diffuser added/

Read a few other comments its pressure of the marsk on bottom of face
i currently use the Amara View, and was thinking of switching up masks Have you tried the cushion for this mask that has the memory foam?
theF20 silicon is very good but the memory foam cushion is the true home run out of the park , cushion,no red marks or soreness on the upper nose or the eyes .
It was a little hard to tell in the views, but is the bottom of the mask supposed to cup the bottom of your lower lip?
I was fitted with the cushion mask, but it wasn't comfortable for me. I went back in today and got the AirFit F20. Now I need to know how to move the blue part from one mask to the new one. Can you help me?
I love the mask but i still wake in the morning with a red spot on the bridge area. Not sore just red

Its a very comfortable mask
My mask keeps drying my mouth out really bad, and I wake up during the night about ten times having to drink water
That same thing happens to me.
Had the same problem There's a velcro strap you can wrap around your chin to keep your mouth closed. works great.
