The frame, headgear and cushion are all separate pieces and can be ordered/replaced separately. The cushion has 4 different sizes and the frame has 3 different sizes. I like your videos... they provide some entertainment for a boring topic. Keep up the good work.
@@Freecpapadvice when you look at it, it definitely looks like the frame and cushion are all one piece, so I can understand where you (and others) could assume that.
ruclips.net/video/lC9yVmrHU2Q/видео.html No excuse, but I usually get an inservice on all the ins and outs. Actually tried several times to see if and how they would remove. After I read your message I just poked it with my finger and out it popped. So lame on my part. Thanks again Tom!
Just switched from the F30 to the F30i and could not be happier. I have finally found the perfect mask for me. The medium mask is extremely comfortable, I have had zero problems with air leaks and I love having the hose on top of my head instead of pulling on the mask. As always, thanks so much for your awesome reviews!
That's got to be the most comprehensive and actually informative review I've seen. Thank you for being thorough in your demo, explanations, and evaluations.
Ive tried 5 different hybrid full face masks including the new F&P Evora full and the F30i is by FAR the most comfortable for me. It’s the only mask I can use all night. My setting is high pressure at max 25 cmh20 so I really need to strap whatever mask I wear tightly to keep a seal and this mask works perfectly for me. I also love that I can turn my and lay on my side and it doesn’t affect it at all. LOVE THIS MASK!
@@ttwarrior1I'm having the same problem and end up going back to the P30i most nights. But tonight i going to try it again. I really want it to work because it seems to be a great design.
I'm new to CPAP and am choosing my first mask. Are you still using the F30i? With the side tubes running down this sides of your face, do you find them uncomfortable at all when side sleeping? Thank you!
I've been using this mask since April 9. It's the most comfortable mask I've ever used and I've been using a bipap machine for over 10 years. Just don't overtighten the straps. The area below the nose isn't made for a lot of pressure. You can find a pressure that won't cause pain but will create a really good seal. This mask is the unicorn. I highly recommend it.
@@glendavesich2677 Hi. I really am still liking this mask. I also like that I can wear my glasses with this mask on my face. Also, I don't do it too often but there were several times I just unclipped the quick release at the top of the mask tube to go to the bathroom at night and easily clicked the tube back in when I returned to bed. I think it's a really sweet mask. Very comfortable and it doesn't leave those marks on my forehead like those other masks do with those forehead supports.
@@glendavesich2677 Good questions. I find in the mornings I have marks where the mask tubes come down the sides of my face to get to the mask. But the marks are very light and are gone within a half hour or so unlike those forehead marks I used to get with my old masks that lasted for days. As for leaks, normally there are no leaks but every once in a while a strap gets a little loose ( probably because there's a little stretch in them) and then there's a slight leak. I remedy this by tightening the strap a bit which is easy to do without even lifting my head off the pillow.
I recently switched to this mask after using a Resmed full face mask for several years. I kept waking up with deep red marks on my face from the full face mask and needed a change. This mask totally removes the red marks. When first using the F30i mask I would wake up with a sore nose from it pushing up on it all night, but that has gone away. I have noticed that I felt like I was starving for air during the ramp up when I first put it on, but I raised the bottom number on the ramp up and I feel I can breathe easier. All in all I am enjoying this mask so far.
I have the resmed version of this mask, but I know what you mean about the ramp-up. I had to turn mine off because it was too hard to breathe before it hit full pressure!
I glad to see I'm not the only one with the nose pain issue. I tested this mask for the 1st time last night and it was pain at the tip of my nose that woke me up. I switched back to my previous mask for the remainder of the night. Did you find that the pain was just a matter of adjusting to the mask or were you able to mitigate the pain by adjust the strap tension?
I measured the width of my nose at 1.5” and the length from face to tip is 1”. I have been using this Since January and received a really bad “fitting “ from my supplier. Due to COVID they wouldn’t let me try more than one mask, never measured or anything. I feel the edges of the nose part pinch my nostrils together so I think I need a medium wide? She gave me a small mask and headgear to start but the measuring guide in the bag puts me at a medium. I have since tried the medium but my ahi is average 9.8. Love love love! Your video. Thank you so much!
I love this mask! No air leaks, no mouth corner drooling, no bridge discomfort, no tear duct leaks, no open mouth! Fits my nose and face like a glove. Nightly AHIs less than 1. After 6 years of struggling with Mirage Quattro mask equipment the F30i is a dream for me. Me so happy!
I try the new mask Airfit F30i, and sleep whole night. It took care of my mouth leaking problem. I have scored 20/20 for leaking air and my mouth did not feel try. It is great.
I just started using the F30i. It is so very comfortable but I am having a seal problem. I followed the recommendation to fit my mask during the day and assess it in my normal sleep positions. I thought I found a good fit. However, what size find is my fit is good during the ramp phase but sometime during the night I loose my seal. I try reseating the mask and tightening the straps but end up holding it on place. Eventually that leads to taking off the mask.
I am a new CPAP user, 30 days in and I wish I'd found your videos a month ago! Super helpful and as many commenters have said, you are making a boring subject less so. Off to get a different-sized cushion! Thank you!
The cushion does come apart from the frame and headgear. In my use, the front vent holes on the cushion are much noisier than the F30, even when nothing is near it. I find the 4 different sizes of cushion available a good thing as there is a higher chance of finding a good fit, compared to only 2 sizes available for the F30.
the beginning of the video had me in cracking up. I was recently diagnosed with sleep apnea and new subscriber.. Your content is dope and has helped me a TON. Thanks
I have an F30 mask and have bought liners from Silentnight at 6 quid each which only last for a week and are rough on the skin, then from Padacheek a piece of cloth with a few holes cut in it for 40 quid! Then I thought, hang on, I could do that much cheaper. I just need it to protect my skin from the mask so I borrowed a cotton face mask from my sister and she cut two holes for nose and mouth, clipped it over my ears then put the F30 over it. Works fine. You can get them for 1 or 2 quid and they are washable. Give it a try. Also found that the mask slips forward and so doesn't stay firmly on the nose, especially a problem when sleeping. Bought some large velcro cable ties and connected the front and back headstraps, tightened it to a secure and comfortable position and it works fine and stays in position through the night. Great to be able to use the F30 as it is the most comfortable and the full face one brings out a nasty rash on my nose.
Huh huh huh, you said reach around. I like this mask a lot I don’t get the corner of the mouth leaks like I do with the dreamwear full face mask and the nose cushion doesn’t distort and leak. The headgear is also very secure and doesn’t slide around like the dreamwear ff mask.. While this isn’t’ my primary mask, it’s great for when I’m feeling a bit congested.
I'm having a heck of a time with this mask. I've been using it for a week straight and after a couple hours I wake up and rip it off from all the leaking. Resmed site shows 0/20 for seal but very low Events at 0.4 I find the medium mask is smaller then the F30 mask and has less area to cover the nasal area. I'm sure this is all due to my mouth drop during the night but the F30 seemed to handle it a lot better. I may have to try some of the liners to see if they help at all.
I can't imagine why people would complain about any variation from an all-fact, robotic delivery. What is wrong with people. You would think they were paying for the review. Originally found you from you resmed dreamwear review and loved it! Incredibly informative and made me smile. You seemed to have toned down the humor. Don't let the haters stifle you and your hilarity! I just saw you but about Amazon affiliation.... Hilarious! Made me lol. Thanks man!
Jason, Thanks so much for your videos. If it wasn't for you, I would have given up on CPAP. Kaiser has been of no help essentially. And Apria is marginally better. Using the F30i now and finally have had 2 nights of no leak, restful sleep after a month on CPAP. The sleep system sucks, no follow up or useful help, but you buddy are a lifesaver 👍
Great mask. Get mostly 100 scores. After 3 years of use, I found I was leaking air because my jaw was dropping during the night. Solved that’s with the use of a chin strap.
This video is the most informative on RUclips! Thanks to you, Jason. My wife has been using nasal cushions and recently is stuffed up from who knows what. We will certainly look into this mask to hopefully relieve the symptoms so she can breathe out of her mouth.
Thanks. Tried it last night. My complaints were similar. Hissing sound and nose piece was chaffing me. Some points where I thought my nasal passages felt blocked... Cheers
I cut my nose holes a little bigger after feeling like the holes weren't lining up quite right. Works great now! Don't make the holes too big tho or you'll be leaking...
To restate Tom Predmore’s comment slightly to make it more clear regarding what was stated during the serious part of the review: The front connection of the airway/headgear and the mask does snap off on both sides. This allows for better/easier cleaning and allows you to order a replacement mask after 30-60 days of use without having to purchase the entire assembly.
I'm new to this mask and I'm really struggling with it. I started with a medium and it leaked like crazy. I switched to small and it's still leaky, getting really frustrated with it. I love the design as I'm always switching sides I sleep on and the hose above the head is great. I guess I unfortunately have a shape that doesn't work with this
Hey, me too, I'm started with medium and it leaked, I switched to small and still leaky. I don't know what else to do. Did you solve it? how did you do?
I just bought this mask after ditching my APAP three years ago. I don't have any leaks with it, and it's relatively comfortable. I don't like the exhaust port at the top as it makes noise on my pillow. I'd like to tape it off. Needless to say, I still hate the APAP as much as I did before and I can't sleep with it. Oh and I still snore with it on.
Just picked up my first CPAP machine yesterday and it's the ResMed AirSense 11 Autoset with the full face mask I guess but I'm not sure if I like it or they gave me the right size. Seems small to me. Thinking that I'd much rather have the one that's for the nose or the one that covers the whole nose and mouth.
How do you feel it competes with the Dreamwear full face mask. I have been using the Dreamwear and it has been good up until I lost weight in the face. I hope to switch to the Airfit F30i. Thanks for all your help.
I'm the opposite of Nicolas. My DW FFM leaks like crazy, I hold it down with a headband; but my F30i is great. Also, I prefer the DW nasal to the N30i. Above all, I love the P30i, except the headgear bugs me, but not a deal breaker. I like the shape of the F30i, it works better for my face, I guess- chipmunk cheeks, small chin.
I’ve tried this mask when it was launched but it kept leaking through the roof and max out my therapy pressure most of the time. My pressure is 12-14. Returned to ResMed F20.
Thanks for the video, this was very helpful as I'm trying to find a new mask for myself that helps with mouth breathing and tossing at night. BTW, your cat😺 is so cute. 🐈⬛
I can't lie on my side with this mask. When I do, it starts leaking at the tip of my nose. I also feel like I am fighting to get enough air through my nose regardless of sleep position. I was a medium with F20 and they assumed medium in this F30i. I had high hopes for this mask because I am tired of a sore red nose bridge every morning.
Funny its the only mask i can sleep on my side with. No side drooling either. Did you try more than one size? It took me two sizes to find the right combo. For me its standard/wide
Hey Lefty......Three years later...I'm thinking about switching from a F30 to F30i.......Does the F30i leave face marks? Any feedback would be appreciated!!! Also, Noticed in the vid..Looks like you are a Bass player Nice! I'm a guitarist/bass player......Who are your favorites? I'm a huge McCartney fan as far as melodic playing.....And a Clapton and Terry Kath fan as far as guitarist....Ok gotta get on my Drone and FLY.............
I love the Dreamwear ff so i decided to give this F30i a try. And I love it too BUT it only lasted me abt 30 days till the small "hinge" at the frame where u attach the cushion will give way after constant taking out the cushion everyday to wash. I usually wash the cushion everyday n just wipe with anti bacterial wipes for the frame. So I don't recommend it for long term due to that small "hinge" design. The Dreamwear ff design is more solid for long term
I just switched from the F20 to the F30i, it was hard to get use to last night, my question is, is it ok if I sleep with my mouth open when I were this? Also I noticed some condensation, my humidity is set at 5 because my last mask the F20 was at 4 but was causing me too much nasal and throat dryness and yes I changed the mask setting on the machine to a full face mask.
Just diagnosed with mild apnea. Will be getting an APAP and have to decide which mask and which size. (I think I am going with the AirFit F30i). Your videos are extremely helpful! (And I like the levity.) Needless to say, during this pandemic, you can't try anything on or get an in-person consultation. (Sleep clinic/study isn't even in-person these days; they just give you a device to take home.) Hope my puppy doesn't chew on my mask! He is in that stage.
Sorry I'm late to the party. I usually check your reviews before buying new masks. What's the difference between this mask and the Dreamwear full face mask? I've been using the Dreamwear mask for 4 years and am very satisfied.
Maybe I am misunderstanding what you mean about the headgear and mask being all one piece. But I separate my headgear exactly from my mask at the two attachment points on both sides of the mask to give it a bath all the time at set both while still apart in my Hurricane Dryer. Put them back together easy peasy.
i'm going to try either this or its sister mask. i'm tired of leaking around the eyes which exacerbates my RA/Sjorgens dry eyes issue. Using a mask stationed lower on my nose may actually help and without viewing your videos I would've never even heard of these. Thanks so much for your fun yet informative videos.
I loved the idea of this mask so I purchased one. I could never get a good seal and always had mask leaks and ended up having to go back to the F20. Its weird since the masks are so much alike asides from where the tubing connects.
You actually never turned the inside portion to the camera lens. A few questions: if you open your mouth during sleep does the pressure equalize or does it come out of your mouth, what is it like to sleep on your side with the tube against your skin (hot,cold, pressure rise or depres…, sweaty), how can one return a medical device that you’ve opened or put on your face? Thanks for the video.
What happens when you're on your side? Squishing that soft tubing? The sleep Center that set me up with a mask with a front tube didn't recommend the style of mask you're showing with the soft silicone saying that when you're on your side you pinch the flow off. I felt like it probably wouldn't matter as I only have one hose in the front now with the nasal mask. I'm assuming that the flow just goes through the one side, but does it affect performance at all or is there something that prevents it from fully collapsing when you're on your side?
I was interested in this. I currently use the Philips Dreamwear and it’s awesome. Been a few years and thought I’d look around. After reading so many people disappointed with this mask I think I’ll just stick to the dreamwear.
Just got one. I have a tough time getting it to stop leaking at the top around the nose when I put it on at night and when I get it to stop leaking it seems to be too tight and very uncomfortable across the nose. I love that the hose is on top of my head and I can wear glasses with it on. I had a caregiver come out from "Aeroflow Sleep" and fit me, but he did a lousy job. he wants me to wear it for 2 weeks before anything else. I'm not happy with that.
Amazing video made me laugh out loud . I have the resmed full face mask with the insert cushion , I am still very happy with it . Love that you still give us options. Thank you so much . 😀 My husband can hear the hissing sound when I roll onto my side . He wakes easily. He then rolls me back onto my back. Then no more noise. I will keep my eye out for this new model .
I do like the F30i mask but I seem to have leak issues from the sides of my mouth while sleeping. Anyone else having this issue? Any recommendations greatly appreciated.
I don't know if you still monitor this or not but here goes. I have been using the Dreamwear masker several years. very similar top this one. I still manage to open my mouth and the bottom seems to get inside of my mouth and I end up mouth breathing. What mask would you, with your vast knowledge of masks, recommend? Thanks!
I'm thinking of switching to this from the Philips Dreamwear full-face. Are they comparable in terms of size? I use the small cushion. Would I still need a small with the F30i?
After numerous adjustments I cannot get this mask to seal. I'm new to this and don't feel like I have gotten the proper help in fitment from the medical equipment company. Thanks for the video. Very well done. Could do without the cute stuff if I'm being honest.
I know I'm a little late to the show, but i got my machine and mask 2 days ago. I'm a side sleeper and I find that my pillow pushes my mask to the side when I sleep so then I wake up and have to readjust
I've been using f30i for a while now getting a lot better sleep. I rotate between the Fisher Paykel viterra to give my nose break both of them give me good seals.
Just changed to this F30i. Second night with it. The fit guide reference was useless, until you mentioned it is for NOSE size. Oh! And yes, the noise that my wife mentions could very well be from the top relief. Magnet never been a problem. Much better than other full face for side sleeping.
I am currently on the F30 and l am ready for a change I just purchased the F30i complete system. Looking forward to see how it works lol! Thank you for all of your advice!
TheLankyLefty27 Thankyou! I got the Standard head gear, with the medium face mask. Hopefully they will fit properly. I found out to late from watching your video and review that the standard mask is for a man and the size small is for women. Will see what happens!
Just got my F30i yesterday. Last night was my first night. I don't seem to get enough air when I inhale. I managed to get 4 hours in with it but woke several times. Any ideas on how to increase air flow? Maybe ramp up the ipap on my aircurve 10 ASV? I don't use the ramp feature at all.
I just got this mask and have a couple questions. I’ve watched your video and it was great thank you!Y two question are am I supposed to feel cold air coming out from chin area? I feel cold are on my neck and why I move my mouth I feel feel leak happening under chin and sometimes on the side. Second question the nose cushion part is supposed to be flat against my nose? I can kind of feel the top part of cushion. I wonder if this means I for wrong size. I got a small with standard headgear. Thank you for your time .
I have a small steady leak at the bose at one side blowing right at my eye. What is the way to stop that. I was sized at my doctor. The tech tested at full pressure. We did not hear but at home it is annoyingly small stream . I have tried tightening but not stopping as it is at the top of nose. If it wasn't blowing at my eye, I wouldn't mind the tiny leak compared to FP Evora nasal Which their vent ports blew into my eyes but I couldn't use it on my side as it kept opening up and she thought my nose shape really didn't suit the Evora. But that one really seemed to dry out my eyes making them feel puffy. So I'm a little more sensitive to this new one leaking already. Any tips?
Hi I'm going from a f20nasal to a f30 full face since I'm a mouth breather. Which is better the f30i or f30 full face thanks .your channel is very helpful!!!
Essentially the same mask. Only real difference is the headgear and hose attachment. Both have their positives, so it really just comes down to personal choice.
Just got mine and my question do I mostly breath with my nose and the purpose for this mask is just in case my mouth opens I'll be able to continue breathing through the mask?
Excellent video. I just got my F30i today and I am ready to try it tonight. Thank you so much for the video it was super informative. I specifically wanted to know about the 2 exhalation ports as they seemed pretty generous with the out-flow of Co2. Thank you again!
I just picked up this mask but I can't get the nostril holes to line up. 😔 I want to know what would happen if I got a pair if scissors and widened the nostril holes just a touch. My nose is apparently abnormally shaped.
I've done the same with the dreamware and it worked fine. I used a hand held hole punch and just trimmed a little at.a time. Imo it is much more precise and you can take small cuts until you achieve what you are looking for.
I'm new to this mask. It makes a constant sucking, flapping sound that I can't sleep with. I wonder if the little flaps are opening and closing instead of closing as they should.
I had used the F30 (and before that, the F20), but now use the F30i and find of all the masks I've used, it blows a LOT of air out the mask face tiny hole vents. I am wondering if that is why I'm getting a zero score on MyAir for leakage. Also, I have the dehumidifier and for first time, I literally have to keep an extra distilled water holder and change it out in the middle of the night. I continue to have dry mouth. For two months, I have been sleeping on my back because I had shoulder surgery and wondering if sleeping on the my back makes it easier for my mouth to drop open, as often I'll wake up and realize my lower lip is outside the bottom part of the mask and I bring my lip up and back inside the mask. I ran across suggestion of using a piece of surgical tape perpendicular on my top and bottom lips to hold them shut. Also, wonder if this or another method is best to keep my mouth shut. I like both the f30 and f30i as for the first time, I've found myself at least when I am going to sleep, I'm nose breathing and I'm not a nose breather. Also I find I have less dry mouth with either of these than I did with the f20. Dean Olson
Yes, sleeping on your back is likely why you're experiencing more mouth drop and dryness. Using tape can work, or a double sided boil and bite guard to keep your mouth closed. Personally, I preferred the tape. Eventually I didn't need it anymore. Heated humidity is a wonderful thing, it clears up my congestion and I can breathe through my nose. If you're taking painkillers, that might also contribute to your issues. I know that I sleep much heavier and have major mouth drop when I have to use painkillers. Good luck to you!
Amara View is a little more rigid. The PR Dreamwear FFM is a newer version of the Amara View (conceptually). If you have a wider face the Dreamwear FFM is a better option. Narrower face the F30i is probably better.
Lmao!!! That was a really funny angry response intro to comments. Thank you so much for the laugh 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣, I needed that today. Me personally I love your videos/personality 👍
Question: I currently use a F10 mask. Looking to upgrade. will this mask connect to my existing heated hose? I assume yes since the mask is listed as compatible with air sense 10
My favorite as far as sleeping comfort is the nasal cup N20, but it causes gums issues on the gums under my nose. The pillows P10 are also comfortable, but the thin strap can come loose and it doesn’t allow for enough air to flow, so I don’t sleep as deep or as long. The P10 can be lying on the bed without me blowing air and the CPAP shows a good fit??? So, I’m stuck with the full face F20 mask, which is not too bad as far as comfort, and one benefit is that it works when my nose is clogged up during allergy season or when I have a cold. The bad news is that it can leak if I turn my head wrong and my wife will wake me and it can blow a hefty stream of air. The deepest sleep that I get is with a full face mask. I can tell after a one night back on the full face mask that I was in a much deeper sleep and I don’t wake up at 5 am for no reason. So, the bulky full face does a better job for the reason that I use a CPAP. I keep trying new masks but I end out back with the Fighter Pilot look.
Thanks for the review. Question for you regarding cleaning these silicone headgears so they can have the tubing at the top of the head . I have a soclean and use daily. I do clean the actual face cushion with CPAP wipes or soap/water daily. Do I need to still clean the head gear inside the head gear silicon tubing with soap and water? I am thinking it will be hard to clean with that flexible scrub brush .. it might perforate? Then drying. If not dried, is it a risk for bacteria. I appreciate you feedback. Thanks
The biggest problem I have with this mask is the bottom straps riding up. It kills my earlobes, I got a velcro strap I plan to put under my chin to hold the bottom straps down, so hopefully that helps. There are some nights this mask is great. And other nights, there's a leak that I just can't seem to fix no matter how I adjust my mask. Could just be the tired rage I'm experiencing while trying to fix it! One question: are there actually different sized headgear for this mask? I can't seem to find a mention of that anywhere online. I'd like to try a large-sized headgear if Resmed makes it.
Just started using a CPAP machine. Started with the nasal mask, didn’t work for me. I’m now using the F30i which I like but I get air leaks through out the night from the sides of my mouth. I’m using a standard size strap with the medium nasal/mouth. I clean my mask every day. I do have some facial hair but nothing thick. Does the wide size encompass the nasal area? If it does then it might be too wide for my nose. I try to get a tight fit without it being too uncomfortable. Any suggestions?
I wld like to try this mask. I started off with a F20 which leaked each time I turned onto my sides and it left marks on my face. Then I went onto the P30i which I find is very good as it does not leak. Good fit into the nostrils. I swap the P30i with the N30i every few nights as I find the P30i makes my nostrils abit irritable after a few nights use. I am a mouth breather and I'm wondering if this F30i wld work better for me as it has the cushion that covers my nostrils and the lower part that covers my mouth.
RT was trying to sell me on a F&P mask they said was better than this one not sure the model. Said it sealed better ? Not sure which mode they were referring to
I’m trying this mask now. It’s tight for me but it works. I tried the resperonics one and the headgear goes to my eyes and the mask doesn’t fit as well.
I think I may have to order a different mask since the spacing for the nose section seems a bit too large. I often find once the pressure ramps up there is air leaking around my nose. (Which causes air to hit my eyes when I sleep)
Do you think the pressure is ramping up because there is a need (which causes the leak), or the leak is first and causes the pressure to ramp up? You can validate this using OSCAR.
I still don't understand how if they are blowing hair at you constantly, how is my exhaled air getting out of the ports before my next inhale. I just started with FP Evora nasal And don't feel like I'm able to exhale as fast as I would like. I just don't see how with air rushing towards me. It's going to exhale all the CO2 out before I breathe in again.
I love your videos and find them extremely helpful. I am new to this mask and on three different nights it felt like the mask was leaking and I had to take it off and return to my P30i. On one night, it didn't feel like it was leaking and I kept it on all night. I did go to an appt with the equipment specialist who fitted it for me and said it was correct. So....could you please point me to any links for videos where you talk about mask leak or leaks in general? I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. But with this mask if I move my face at all, I get these....well, fart-like noises coming out of the mask, which I'm assuming are leaks. To further confuse things, MyAir is telling me I'm getting a good seal. Any help would be appreciated. And, yes, I'm going to go join your forum. 😁😁Thanks for everything you do!
In the N30i, I use a med mask/standard frame…but with other full masks, they don’t cover the width of my mouth. My DMR doesnt allow for a fitting on the F30i…just buy until one finds the correct fit. Ugh. Is there to find the actual measurements of the F30i mask width of the mouth area?
The frame, headgear and cushion are all separate pieces and can be ordered/replaced separately. The cushion has 4 different sizes and the frame has 3 different sizes.
I like your videos... they provide some entertainment for a boring topic. Keep up the good work.
😳 Oh my God....I am so embarrassed that I missed that. Complete fail on my part. Thank you Tom for bringing that to my attention.
The cushion pops off using the breathing valves to be exact
@@Freecpapadvice when you look at it, it definitely looks like the frame and cushion are all one piece, so I can understand where you (and others) could assume that.

My CPAP Nurse, showed me the same after I told her that said it was a one piece unit.
I forgive you!
Just switched from the F30 to the F30i and could not be happier. I have finally found the perfect mask for me. The medium mask is extremely comfortable, I have had zero problems with air leaks and I love having the hose on top of my head instead of pulling on the mask. As always, thanks so much for your awesome reviews!
That's got to be the most comprehensive and actually informative review I've seen. Thank you for being thorough in your demo, explanations, and evaluations.
My pleasure!
Ive tried 5 different hybrid full face masks including the new F&P Evora full and the F30i is by FAR the most comfortable for me. It’s the only mask I can use all night. My setting is high pressure at max 25 cmh20 so I really need to strap whatever mask I wear tightly to keep a seal and this mask works perfectly for me. I also love that I can turn my and lay on my side and it doesn’t affect it at all. LOVE THIS MASK!
Just got mine. Too tight or too loose and leaks. On top of your head too. Annoying
@@ttwarrior1I'm having the same problem and end up going back to the P30i most nights. But tonight i going to try it again. I really want it to work because it seems to be a great design.
I'm new to CPAP and am choosing my first mask. Are you still using the F30i? With the side tubes running down this sides of your face, do you find them uncomfortable at all when side sleeping? Thank you!
I've been using this mask since April 9. It's the most comfortable mask I've ever used and I've been using a bipap machine for over 10 years. Just don't overtighten the straps. The area below the nose isn't made for a lot of pressure. You can find a pressure that won't cause pain but will create a really good seal. This mask is the unicorn. I highly recommend it.
Are you still likeing that mask?
@@glendavesich2677 Hi. I really am still liking this mask. I also like that I can wear my glasses with this mask on my face. Also, I don't do it too often but there were several times I just unclipped the quick release at the top of the mask tube to go to the bathroom at night and easily clicked the tube back in when I returned to bed. I think it's a really sweet mask. Very comfortable and it doesn't leave those marks on my forehead like those other masks do with those forehead supports.
@@valyum5504 does it leave any marks on face at all? And does it leak at all?
@@glendavesich2677 Good questions. I find in the mornings I have marks where the mask tubes come down the sides of my face to get to the mask. But the marks are very light and are gone within a half hour or so unlike those forehead marks I used to get with my old masks that lasted for days. As for leaks, normally there are no leaks but every once in a while a strap gets a little loose ( probably because there's a little stretch in them) and then there's a slight leak. I remedy this by tightening the strap a bit which is easy to do without even lifting my head off the pillow.
@@valyum5504 thank you for all of your help..I really appreciate that..
I recently switched to this mask after using a Resmed full face mask for several years. I kept waking up with deep red marks on my face from the full face mask and needed a change. This mask totally removes the red marks. When first using the F30i mask I would wake up with a sore nose from it pushing up on it all night, but that has gone away. I have noticed that I felt like I was starving for air during the ramp up when I first put it on, but I raised the bottom number on the ramp up and I feel I can breathe easier. All in all I am enjoying this mask so far.
I have the resmed version of this mask, but I know what you mean about the ramp-up. I had to turn mine off because it was too hard to breathe before it hit full pressure!
Just turn off the ramp. You'll get used to it, and it's better for your sleep anyways. Cheers!
I glad to see I'm not the only one with the nose pain issue. I tested this mask for the 1st time last night and it was pain at the tip of my nose that woke me up. I switched back to my previous mask for the remainder of the night. Did you find that the pain was just a matter of adjusting to the mask or were you able to mitigate the pain by adjust the strap tension?
I measured the width of my nose at 1.5” and the length from face to tip is 1”. I have been using this Since January and received a really bad “fitting “ from my supplier. Due to COVID they wouldn’t let me try more than one mask, never measured or anything. I feel the edges of the nose part pinch my nostrils together so I think I need a medium wide? She gave me a small mask and headgear to start but the measuring guide in the bag puts me at a medium. I have since tried the medium but my ahi is average 9.8.
Love love love! Your video. Thank you so much!
I love this mask! No air leaks, no mouth corner drooling, no bridge discomfort, no tear duct leaks, no open mouth! Fits my nose and face like a glove. Nightly AHIs less than 1.
After 6 years of struggling with Mirage Quattro mask equipment the F30i is a dream for me. Me so happy!
and what size did you get?
I try the new mask Airfit F30i, and sleep whole night. It took care of my mouth leaking problem. I have scored 20/20 for leaking air and my mouth did not feel try. It is great.
I just started using the F30i. It is so very comfortable but I am having a seal problem.
I followed the recommendation to fit my mask during the day and assess it in my normal sleep positions. I thought I found a good fit. However, what size find is my fit is good during the ramp phase but sometime during the night I loose my seal. I try reseating the mask and tightening the straps but end up holding it on place. Eventually that leads to taking off the mask.
I can't stop laughing at "look at it. look at it. we got cushion, we got head gear, we got tubing." thank you for that!
I am a new CPAP user, 30 days in and I wish I'd found your videos a month ago! Super helpful and as many commenters have said, you are making a boring subject less so. Off to get a different-sized cushion! Thank you!
Jason, your videos are funny, helpful and informative. I appreciate what you do.
Very simple - had the F20, went to the F30, now with the F30i. Love it, I found my home.
The cushion does come apart from the frame and headgear. In my use, the front vent holes on the cushion are much noisier than the F30, even when nothing is near it. I find the 4 different sizes of cushion available a good thing as there is a higher chance of finding a good fit, compared to only 2 sizes available for the F30.
Thank you Mike. Complete screw up on my part. Thank you!!!
the beginning of the video had me in cracking up. I was recently diagnosed with sleep apnea and new subscriber.. Your content is dope and has helped me a TON. Thanks
I have an F30 mask and have bought liners from Silentnight at 6 quid each which only last for a week and are rough on the skin, then from Padacheek a piece of cloth with a few holes cut in it for 40 quid! Then I thought, hang on, I could do that much cheaper. I just need it to protect my skin from the mask so I borrowed a cotton face mask from my sister and she cut two holes for nose and mouth, clipped it over my ears then put the F30 over it. Works fine. You can get them for 1 or 2 quid and they are washable. Give it a try. Also found that the mask slips forward and so doesn't stay firmly on the nose, especially a problem when sleeping. Bought some large velcro cable ties and connected the front and back headstraps, tightened it to a secure and comfortable position and it works fine and stays in position through the night. Great to be able to use the F30 as it is the most comfortable and the full face one brings out a nasty rash on my nose.
Huh huh huh, you said reach around.
I like this mask a lot I don’t get the corner of the mouth leaks like I do with the dreamwear full face mask and the nose cushion doesn’t distort and leak. The headgear is also very secure and doesn’t slide around like the dreamwear ff mask.. While this isn’t’ my primary mask, it’s great for when I’m feeling a bit congested.
What gets me is that the people that are complaining, keep coming back to watch more videos to complain again 😂.
I find your video to be very good.& helpful
Because we want the information without all the childish banter that goes with it
@@nuocnamphu5454 Well that actually says a lot about his channel then doesn’t it. He’s getting a message to the wrong crowd
I'm having a heck of a time with this mask. I've been using it for a week straight and after a couple hours I wake up and rip it off from all the leaking. Resmed site shows 0/20 for seal but very low Events at 0.4 I find the medium mask is smaller then the F30 mask and has less area to cover the nasal area. I'm sure this is all due to my mouth drop during the night but the F30 seemed to handle it a lot better. I may have to try some of the liners to see if they help at all.
I have the same problem. It leaks too much.
The higher the leak, the less reliable the event data. If your seal is 0/20, there is no way the 0.4 ahi is correct.
Same here
I just got my CPAP yesterday and this was the mask they gave me! So far I like it
I can't imagine why people would complain about any variation from an all-fact, robotic delivery. What is wrong with people. You would think they were paying for the review.
Originally found you from you resmed dreamwear review and loved it! Incredibly informative and made me smile. You seemed to have toned down the humor. Don't let the haters stifle you and your hilarity! I just saw you but about Amazon affiliation.... Hilarious! Made me lol.
Thanks man!
Thanks! I just do whatever feels right at the time. Whatever feels right to get the message across.
Jason, Thanks so much for your videos. If it wasn't for you, I would have given up on CPAP. Kaiser has been of no help essentially. And Apria is marginally better. Using the F30i now and finally have had 2 nights of no leak, restful sleep after a month on CPAP.
The sleep system sucks, no follow up or useful help, but you buddy are a lifesaver 👍
I found that I had so much leaking and when I tightened it down enough to limit the leaking, I could hardly move my head back and forth. 🤷♀️
Thank you for this video. I’m a newbie and this helped immensely 😊
Great mask. Get mostly 100 scores. After 3 years of use, I found I was leaking air because my jaw was dropping during the night. Solved that’s with the use of a chin strap.
This video is the most informative on RUclips! Thanks to you, Jason. My wife has been using nasal cushions and recently is stuffed up from who knows what. We will certainly look into this mask to hopefully relieve the symptoms so she can breathe out of her mouth.
Typical CPAP gold! CPAP hero’s are remembered, but legends never die!
Thanks. Tried it last night. My complaints were similar. Hissing sound and nose piece was chaffing me. Some points where I thought my nasal passages felt blocked... Cheers
It takes some practice to get the right placement of the cushion.
I cut my nose holes a little bigger after feeling like the holes weren't lining up quite right. Works great now! Don't make the holes too big tho or you'll be leaking...
To restate Tom Predmore’s comment slightly to make it more clear regarding what was stated during the serious part of the review: The front connection of the airway/headgear and the mask does snap off on both sides. This allows for better/easier cleaning and allows you to order a replacement mask after 30-60 days of use without having to purchase the entire assembly.
I'm new to this mask and I'm really struggling with it. I started with a medium and it leaked like crazy. I switched to small and it's still leaky, getting really frustrated with it.
I love the design as I'm always switching sides I sleep on and the hose above the head is great.
I guess I unfortunately have a shape that doesn't work with this
Hey, me too,
I'm started with medium and it leaked, I switched to small and still leaky. I don't know what else to do. Did you solve it? how did you do?
@@RafaPlayGame I went standard wide after standard medium
I just bought this mask after ditching my APAP three years ago. I don't have any leaks with it, and it's relatively comfortable. I don't like the exhaust port at the top as it makes noise on my pillow. I'd like to tape it off. Needless to say, I still hate the APAP as much as I did before and I can't sleep with it. Oh and I still snore with it on.
I like the F30i, but my insurance allows a new mask seal every 30 days and I find that the seal starts getting floppy and more leaky after 15-20 days.
Just picked up my first CPAP machine yesterday and it's the ResMed AirSense 11 Autoset with the full face mask I guess but I'm not sure if I like it or they gave me the right size. Seems small to me. Thinking that I'd much rather have the one that's for the nose or the one that covers the whole nose and mouth.
How do you feel it competes with the Dreamwear full face mask. I have been using the Dreamwear and it has been good up until I lost weight in the face. I hope to switch to the Airfit F30i. Thanks for all your help.
I'm the opposite of Nicolas. My DW FFM leaks like crazy, I hold it down with a headband; but my F30i is great. Also, I prefer the DW nasal to the N30i. Above all, I love the P30i, except the headgear bugs me, but not a deal breaker. I like the shape of the F30i, it works better for my face, I guess- chipmunk cheeks, small chin.
I’ve tried this mask when it was launched but it kept leaking through the roof and max out my therapy pressure most of the time. My pressure is 12-14. Returned to ResMed F20.
Thanks for the video, this was very helpful as I'm trying to find a new mask for myself that helps with mouth breathing and tossing at night. BTW, your cat😺 is so cute. 🐈⬛
I can't lie on my side with this mask. When I do, it starts leaking at the tip of my nose. I also feel like I am fighting to get enough air through my nose regardless of sleep position. I was a medium with F20 and they assumed medium in this F30i. I had high hopes for this mask because I am tired of a sore red nose bridge every morning.
Funny its the only mask i can sleep on my side with. No side drooling either. Did you try more than one size? It took me two sizes to find the right combo. For me its standard/wide
Hey Lefty......Three years later...I'm thinking about switching from a F30 to F30i.......Does the F30i leave face marks?
Any feedback would be appreciated!!! Also, Noticed in the vid..Looks like you are a Bass player Nice! I'm a guitarist/bass
player......Who are your favorites? I'm a huge McCartney fan as far as melodic playing.....And a Clapton and Terry Kath fan
as far as guitarist....Ok gotta get on my Drone and FLY.............
I love the Dreamwear ff so i decided to give this F30i a try. And I love it too BUT it only lasted me abt 30 days till the small "hinge" at the frame where u attach the cushion will give way after constant taking out the cushion everyday to wash. I usually wash the cushion everyday n just wipe with anti bacterial wipes for the frame. So I don't recommend it for long term due to that small "hinge" design. The Dreamwear ff design is more solid for long term
Thanks for sharing!
Why everyday? I wash mine once a week and never had a problem 4 months in.
I just switched from the F20 to the F30i, it was hard to get use to last night, my question is, is it ok if I sleep with my mouth open when I were this? Also I noticed some condensation, my humidity is set at 5 because my last mask the F20 was at 4 but was causing me too much nasal and throat dryness and yes I changed the mask setting on the machine to a full face mask.
Just diagnosed with mild apnea. Will be getting an APAP and have to decide which mask and which size. (I think I am going with the AirFit F30i). Your videos are extremely helpful! (And I like the levity.) Needless to say, during this pandemic, you can't try anything on or get an in-person consultation. (Sleep clinic/study isn't even in-person these days; they just give you a device to take home.) Hope my puppy doesn't chew on my mask! He is in that stage.
Sorry I'm late to the party. I usually check your reviews before buying new masks.
What's the difference between this mask and the Dreamwear full face mask?
I've been using the Dreamwear mask for 4 years and am very satisfied.
Maybe I am misunderstanding what you mean about the headgear and mask being all one piece. But I separate my headgear exactly from my mask at the two attachment points on both sides of the mask to give it a bath all the time at set both while still apart in my Hurricane Dryer. Put them back together easy peasy.
i'm going to try either this or its sister mask. i'm tired of leaking around the eyes which exacerbates my RA/Sjorgens dry eyes issue. Using a mask stationed lower on my nose may actually help and without viewing your videos I would've never even heard of these. Thanks so much for your fun yet informative videos.
I have dry eye issues as well. It's one of the reasons I chose this mask. There's still air coming out the front but not as bad.
I loved the idea of this mask so I purchased one. I could never get a good seal and always had mask leaks and ended up having to go back to the F20. Its weird since the masks are so much alike asides from where the tubing connects.
You actually never turned the inside portion to the camera lens. A few questions: if you open your mouth during sleep does the pressure equalize or does it come out of your mouth, what is it like to sleep on your side with the tube against your skin (hot,cold, pressure rise or depres…, sweaty), how can one return a medical device that you’ve opened or put on your face?
Thanks for the video.
What happens when you're on your side? Squishing that soft tubing? The sleep Center that set me up with a mask with a front tube didn't recommend the style of mask you're showing with the soft silicone saying that when you're on your side you pinch the flow off. I felt like it probably wouldn't matter as I only have one hose in the front now with the nasal mask. I'm assuming that the flow just goes through the one side, but does it affect performance at all or is there something that prevents it from fully collapsing when you're on your side?
I was interested in this. I currently use the Philips Dreamwear and it’s awesome. Been a few years and thought I’d look around. After reading so many people disappointed with this mask I think I’ll just stick to the dreamwear.
Just got one. I have a tough time getting it to stop leaking at the top around the nose when I put it on at night and when I get it to stop leaking it seems to be too tight and very uncomfortable across the nose. I love that the hose is on top of my head and I can wear glasses with it on. I had a caregiver come out from "Aeroflow Sleep" and fit me, but he did a lousy job. he wants me to wear it for 2 weeks before anything else. I'm not happy with that.
Amazing video made me laugh out loud . I have the resmed full face mask with the insert cushion , I am still very happy with it . Love that you still give us options. Thank you so much . 😀 My husband can hear the hissing sound when I roll onto my side . He wakes easily. He then rolls me back onto my back. Then no more noise. I will keep my eye out for this new model .
I do like the F30i mask but I seem to have leak issues from the sides of my mouth while sleeping. Anyone else having this issue? Any recommendations greatly appreciated.
They have a guide where you measure around the top of your head to under the nose to see which frame is right [apx. 24 - 26"]
I don't know if you still monitor this or not but here goes. I have been using the Dreamwear masker several years. very similar top this one. I still manage to open my mouth and the bottom seems to get inside of my mouth and I end up mouth breathing. What mask would you, with your vast knowledge of masks, recommend? Thanks!
AirFit F30i work like a charm hate haveing the tube on my face
I'm thinking of switching to this from the Philips Dreamwear full-face. Are they comparable in terms of size? I use the small cushion. Would I still need a small with the F30i?
why do u want to get rid of the phillips full face? dont like it anymore?
After numerous adjustments I cannot get this mask to seal. I'm new to this and don't feel like I have gotten the proper help in fitment from the medical equipment company. Thanks for the video. Very well done. Could do without the cute stuff if I'm being honest.
I am using f 30i mask.i have noticed huge mask leakage.please advise how to avoid mask/seal leakage.
I know I'm a little late to the show, but i got my machine and mask 2 days ago. I'm a side sleeper and I find that my pillow pushes my mask to the side when I sleep so then I wake up and have to readjust
I've been using f30i for a while now getting a lot better sleep. I rotate between the Fisher Paykel viterra to give my nose break both of them give me good seals.
Just changed to this F30i. Second night with it. The fit guide reference was useless, until you mentioned it is for NOSE size. Oh! And yes, the noise that my wife mentions could very well be from the top relief. Magnet never been a problem. Much better than other full face for side sleeping.
I am currently on the F30 and l am ready for a change I just purchased the F30i complete system.
Looking forward to see how it works lol! Thank you for all of your advice!
Hope you enjoy it!
TheLankyLefty27 Thankyou! I got the Standard head gear, with the medium face mask.
Hopefully they will fit properly. I found out to late from watching your video and review
that the standard mask is for a man and the size small is for women. Will see what happens!
@@doriskenner5411 I'm a woman and I wear the standard size although with a small cushion. Hopefully it worked for you.
@@doriskenner5411 how is the the f30i going? Is the medium mask and standard frame a good fit for a woman?
@@chrissyfaye08 they both fit fine for me!
Just got my F30i yesterday. Last night was my first night. I don't seem to get enough air when I inhale. I managed to get 4 hours in with it but woke several times. Any ideas on how to increase air flow? Maybe ramp up the ipap on my aircurve 10 ASV? I don't use the ramp feature at all.
I use this mask and like it a lot. It's really way more comfortable than I imagined it would be.
I just got this mask and have a couple questions. I’ve watched your video and it was great thank you!Y two question are am I supposed to feel cold air coming out from chin area? I feel cold are on my neck and why I move my mouth I feel feel leak happening under chin and sometimes on the side. Second question the nose cushion part is supposed to be flat against my nose? I can kind of feel the top part of cushion. I wonder if this means I for wrong size. I got a small with standard headgear. Thank you for your time .
I have a small steady leak at the bose at one side blowing right at my eye.
What is the way to stop that. I was sized at my doctor. The tech tested at full pressure. We did not hear but at home it is annoyingly small stream .
I have tried tightening but not stopping as it is at the top of nose.
If it wasn't blowing at my eye, I wouldn't mind the tiny leak compared to FP Evora nasal Which their vent ports blew into my eyes but I couldn't use it on my side as it kept opening up and she thought my nose shape really didn't suit the Evora. But that one really seemed to dry out my eyes making them feel puffy. So I'm a little more sensitive to this new one leaking already. Any tips?
The side tubing has air going through it. SO... When you sleep on your side does the tube collapse and therefore reduce air flow?
That’s the one I use , very happy with it
I have the F30i. Really comfortable but annoying because of the air vents. Does the f30 vent air more quietly??
Question for the ladies. Are u using standard or small for the headgear?
Standard
I'm using a standard, but I'm pretty sure I need a small because I push the frame back on my head to keep it tight.
If it feels tight in order to prevent leak would I need a next size up?
Really difficult to say unless I see how it fits. Could be that, the frame size, or how the headgear is adjusted.
How are you trying to give this video a thumbs down? Lol - very helpful, I think this is the mask I’m going to get!
Do they take insurance?
Hi I'm going from a f20nasal to a f30 full face since I'm a mouth breather. Which is better the f30i or f30 full face thanks .your channel is very helpful!!!
Essentially the same mask. Only real difference is the headgear and hose attachment. Both have their positives, so it really just comes down to personal choice.
@@Freecpapadvice thank you
Wanted to hear about the quick release for the tube on. Top
Just got mine and my question do I mostly breath with my nose and the purpose for this mask is just in case my mouth opens I'll be able to continue breathing through the mask?
Can we use it for cats? My cat has sleep apnea
Excellent video. I just got my F30i today and I am ready to try it tonight. Thank you so much for the video it was super informative. I specifically wanted to know about the 2 exhalation ports as they seemed pretty generous with the out-flow of Co2. Thank you again!
I just picked up this mask but I can't get the nostril holes to line up. 😔 I want to know what would happen if I got a pair if scissors and widened the nostril holes just a touch. My nose is apparently abnormally shaped.
I've done the same with the dreamware and it worked fine. I used a hand held hole punch and just trimmed a little at.a time. Imo it is much more precise and you can take small cuts until you achieve what you are looking for.
@@gal3599 Thanks for the suggestion! I will try that
I'm new to this mask. It makes a constant sucking, flapping sound that I can't sleep with. I wonder if the little flaps are opening and closing instead of closing as they should.
I had used the F30 (and before that, the F20), but now use the F30i and find of all the masks I've used, it blows a LOT of air out the mask face tiny hole vents. I am wondering if that is why
I'm getting a zero score on MyAir for leakage. Also, I have the dehumidifier and for first time, I literally have to keep an extra distilled water holder and change it out in the middle of the night. I continue to have dry mouth. For two months, I have been sleeping on my back because I had shoulder surgery and wondering if sleeping on the my back makes it easier for my mouth to drop open, as often I'll wake up and realize my lower lip is outside the bottom part of the mask and I bring my lip up and back inside the mask. I ran across suggestion of using a piece of surgical tape perpendicular on my top and bottom lips to hold them shut. Also, wonder if this or another method is best to keep my mouth shut. I like both the f30 and f30i as for the first time, I've found myself at least when I am going to sleep, I'm nose breathing and I'm not a nose breather. Also I find I have less dry mouth with either of these than I did with the f20. Dean Olson
Yes, sleeping on your back is likely why you're experiencing more mouth drop and dryness. Using tape can work, or a double sided boil and bite guard to keep your mouth closed. Personally, I preferred the tape. Eventually I didn't need it anymore. Heated humidity is a wonderful thing, it clears up my congestion and I can breathe through my nose. If you're taking painkillers, that might also contribute to your issues. I know that I sleep much heavier and have major mouth drop when I have to use painkillers. Good luck to you!
Try a neck brace?? They do well holding your jaw up.
How does this compare to Dreamwear and Amara View?
Amara View is a little more rigid. The PR Dreamwear FFM is a newer version of the Amara View (conceptually). If you have a wider face the Dreamwear FFM is a better option. Narrower face the F30i is probably better.
TheLankyLefty27 can you take a look at one of my videos? I would think my face is narrow? Lol appreciate that reply!
Lmao!!! That was a really funny angry response intro to comments. Thank you so much for the laugh 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣, I needed that today. Me personally I love your videos/personality 👍
Question: I currently use a F10 mask. Looking to upgrade. will this mask connect to my existing heated hose? I assume yes since the mask is listed as compatible with air sense 10
My favorite as far as sleeping comfort is the nasal cup N20, but it causes gums issues on the gums under my nose. The pillows P10 are also comfortable, but the thin strap can come loose and it doesn’t allow for enough air to flow, so I don’t sleep as deep or as long. The P10 can be lying on the bed without me blowing air and the CPAP shows a good fit??? So, I’m stuck with the full face F20 mask, which is not too bad as far as comfort, and one benefit is that it works when my nose is clogged up during allergy season or when I have a cold. The bad news is that it can leak if I turn my head wrong and my wife will wake me and it can blow a hefty stream of air. The deepest sleep that I get is with a full face mask. I can tell after a one night back on the full face mask that I was in a much deeper sleep and I don’t wake up at 5 am for no reason. So, the bulky full face does a better job for the reason that I use a CPAP. I keep trying new masks but I end out back with the Fighter Pilot look.
Tried it last night. It was SO LoUD. Went back to the f20
Thanks for the review. Question for you regarding cleaning these silicone headgears so they can have the tubing at the top of the head . I have a soclean and use daily. I do clean the actual face cushion with CPAP wipes or soap/water daily. Do I need to still clean the head gear inside the head gear silicon tubing with soap and water? I am thinking it will be hard to clean with that flexible scrub brush .. it might perforate? Then drying. If not dried, is it a risk for bacteria. I appreciate you feedback. Thanks
The biggest problem I have with this mask is the bottom straps riding up. It kills my earlobes, I got a velcro strap I plan to put under my chin to hold the bottom straps down, so hopefully that helps. There are some nights this mask is great. And other nights, there's a leak that I just can't seem to fix no matter how I adjust my mask. Could just be the tired rage I'm experiencing while trying to fix it! One question: are there actually different sized headgear for this mask? I can't seem to find a mention of that anywhere online. I'd like to try a large-sized headgear if Resmed makes it.
Mine feels like it's not leaking and I can't hear anything but when I do a mask fit on the ResMed machine it says it's not fitting
I use the phillips respironics dreamwear nasal mask, would this mask fit onto the same tubing or would i need a different tube?
Just started using a CPAP machine. Started with the nasal mask, didn’t work for me. I’m now using the F30i which I like but I get air leaks through out the night from the sides of my mouth. I’m using a standard size strap with the medium nasal/mouth. I clean my mask every day. I do have some facial hair but nothing thick. Does the wide size encompass the nasal area? If it does then it might be too wide for my nose. I try to get a tight fit without it being too uncomfortable. Any suggestions?
I wld like to try this mask. I started off with a F20 which leaked each time I turned onto my sides and it left marks on my face. Then I went onto the P30i which I find is very good as it does not leak. Good fit into the nostrils. I swap the P30i with the N30i every few nights as I find the P30i makes my nostrils abit irritable after a few nights use. I am a mouth breather and I'm wondering if this F30i wld work better for me as it has the cushion that covers my nostrils and the lower part that covers my mouth.
RT was trying to sell me on a F&P mask they said was better than this one not sure the model. Said it sealed better ? Not sure which mode they were referring to
I’m trying this mask now. It’s tight for me but it works. I tried the resperonics one and the headgear goes to my eyes and the mask doesn’t fit as well.
I think I may have to order a different mask since the spacing for the nose section seems a bit too large.
I often find once the pressure ramps up there is air leaking around my nose. (Which causes air to hit my eyes when I sleep)
Do you think the pressure is ramping up because there is a need (which causes the leak), or the leak is first and causes the pressure to ramp up? You can validate this using OSCAR.
@@Freecpapadvice can I use Oscar with a resmed apap bought in USA and brought to Ecuador/Southamerica?
@@Freecpapadvice, as a new user, this is exactly something I'm trying to figure out.
annoying hisding from the top...1st night last night. hope i can fix it since I traded in my f20
How does the AirFit F30i compare to the Amara View?
I still don't understand how if they are blowing hair at you constantly, how is my exhaled air getting out of the ports before my next inhale.
I just started with FP Evora nasal And don't feel like I'm able to exhale as fast as I would like. I just don't see how with air rushing towards me. It's going to exhale all the CO2 out before I breathe in again.
I love your videos and find them extremely helpful. I am new to this mask and on three different nights it felt like the mask was leaking and I had to take it off and return to my P30i. On one night, it didn't feel like it was leaking and I kept it on all night. I did go to an appt with the equipment specialist who fitted it for me and said it was correct. So....could you please point me to any links for videos where you talk about mask leak or leaks in general? I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. But with this mask if I move my face at all, I get these....well, fart-like noises coming out of the mask, which I'm assuming are leaks. To further confuse things, MyAir is telling me I'm getting a good seal. Any help would be appreciated. And, yes, I'm going to go join your forum. 😁😁Thanks for everything you do!
In the N30i, I use a med mask/standard frame…but with other full masks, they don’t cover the width of my mouth. My DMR doesnt allow for a fitting on the F30i…just buy until one finds the correct fit. Ugh. Is there to find the actual measurements of the F30i mask width of the mouth area?
