ResMed AirFit F30i Review | Full Face Mask Review

The ResMed AirFit F30i is often praised for several reasons that make it a popular choice among users requiring continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy for conditions like sleep apnea. Here are some key features that contribute to its favorable reception:
SIZE GUIDE: thecpapstore.c...
Top-of-head tube design: This design feature allows the hose to connect at the top of the head, which can provide more freedom of movement during sleep. It's particularly beneficial for those who tend to move around a lot in their sleep.
Minimal contact design: The mask covers less of the face compared to traditional full face masks. It fits comfortably over the mouth and under the nose, which helps reduce feelings of claustrophobia and leaves the line of sight unobstructed. This makes it easier for users to read or watch TV before falling asleep.
Quiet operation: The AirFit F30i is designed to operate quietly, enhancing comfort for both the wearer and their bed partner. A quieter mask can improve sleep quality by reducing disturbances.
Seal and stability: The cushion technology used in the AirFit F30i is designed to adapt to the user’s movements, maintaining a secure and effective seal. This reduces the likelihood of air leaks, which can diminish the effectiveness of CPAP therapy and disrupt sleep.
Ease of use and fitting: The mask includes magnetic clips and a quick-release elbow, making it easy to put on, take off, and disconnect from the CPAP machine as needed, without having to remove the entire mask. This can be very convenient for users needing to get up during the night.
Comfort: With a silicone cushion and a frame that includes integrated padding, the AirFit F30i prioritizes user comfort, which can help users adapt to and continue CPAP therapy more effectively.

I just started using the F30i and found that I absolutely love it. It fit very well and does not leak air like my first mask. I am able to sleep better and more comfortably. I love the 360 headgear, due to me having a bad back I turn on my back and side to side very often. Thank God that I no longer have to spend half of the night pulling and tugging trying to get the mask to fit properly.

A quick clip at the top of the Mask (not mentioned) allows you to disconnect the air quickly if you need to stand up

Hi i'm trying to get used to my 30 i but I have questions. With a resmed nasal mask, I typically have very few events at night. I have noticed since using the 30i , I'm going from less than one event to 5 and 6 events. I'm not sure if its just the machine registering the new mask or if I'm actually having more events. I use a pressure of 9......thank you .......Joe

This is a very comfortable mask that seems to seal well, but the vent on the mask seems to blast air out that is a bit worrying. When I do a mask fit test, it seals well but my AirMed scores indicate an extremely leaky mask. I am a slide sleeper. Any suggestions?

I guess the design of a very soft mak precludes a top fed version, right?

[@Terri_Swift]

Can you recommend a mask for tummy sleepers?

[@leftydrummer1399]

With either of those masks do you have seal problems with facial hair?

[@bradj78]

I have a beard and no the f30i seals perfectly

[@manny4491]

using that style of mask I would develop a scab right under my nose! 👃

[@dmcmaster3544]

Have you tried it? You'd be surprised how comfortable the area under the nose really is. Be sure you choose the correct size and shape.

@@dmcmaster3544 I have not tried the i but the regular F30.

This is no different from my Dreamwear mask!
