I own an airfit f3.0 i mask with a resmed airsense 10 machine. I love it. Can the mask be adapted to work using a battery powered resmed mini machine for camping and travel.
Got this mask 2 days ago so I have 2 sleeps in. It is THE most comfortable mask I have ever tried. Almost like not wearing one at all. Yes I do get some leaks but I think all masks leak at one place or another. The head gear size Medium is fine. The other I've tried medium, then small, then back to medium. Just can't decide which one is more comfortable for the full night. 5 Stars for this Resmed F30i mask!
Hello Nick, I'm glad you have decided to review this particular mask. With the mirage quattro full face mask I was having 11 apneas an hour. After using the F30i I went down to 4 Apneas an hour. Great mask and less bulky than the Mirage Quattro.
I found this channel by searching for F30i. I'm a new sleep apnea person (formerly "borderline" sleep study) and happy to eventually realize goals. I think Covid exacerbated my apnea, and here I am in 2021.
Just started using this mask. I started with the nose pillow type and quickly realize I am very much a mouth breather. This mask is fantastic. My first night was a 99/100 score on my air step 11 machine. Extremely comfortable and making the training on using a CPAP very easy.
My skin is very sensitive to the silicone but, I made this work. After trying six different mask this is my favorite of them all. I modified a mask cover to keep the mask from touching my skin. I also brought strap covers for the frame. The head gear is awesome, allows me to rollover, and get comfortable, without getting tangled up in the tubing. The F30i and climate control tubing have me sleeping better than I have in the past two years. I wish I had tried this mask first, it would have made the start of my sleep therapy, so much easier. The right size mask makes a world of difference. I started with a medium and switched to a small-wide. The small-wide is so comfortable and will definitely be my replacement mask for here on out.
Thanks Nick for the review. I’ve been using this mask for almost 2 years, it’s the best mask so far. Only problem is that the connection between the frame and the mask would crack after 4 to 5 months and needs to be replaced. Resmed only provides warranty for only 3 months here in Canada!
Your reviews have been so helpful in choosing the right CPAP machine and mask from a bewildering array of options out there. I like how you get straight down to brass tacks and highlight the pros and cons. Thank you very much!
Thank you for the review! Wow, this is the best mask I have found for me after 10 years, no leaks and comfortable, paired with ResMed 11, I am killing the 100s on ResMed air app... highly recommend one giving it a try!
I got this mask from a provider who was given a Rx from my doctor who spent a whooping 15 minutes showing me how to use the resvent 20A & gave me a F30i mask & sent me on my way. I have tried to get a seal with this 😊for 4 days with no luck. It is really frustrating. I also feel like my lungs are being blown out & my chest hurts like I am having an asthma attack. Your videos explain more than the doctor & the mask provider’s clinic. Thank you!
I’ve had this mask for one year. Using a small frame with a small-wide cushion. I think my frame may be too small as it leaves me with a lot of face marking in the morning. But otherwise it is the best mask I’ve ever tried and have achieved 6+ hours a night with the mask for the entire year since the switch. Previous masks were dreamweaver and F30. Liked the F30 cushion but hated the hose off the front weighing it down. The dreamweaver was too delicate and leaked - but loved the hose off the top. So I knew as soon as I saw it the F30i would be perfect and it is. Not sure what I would do without this mask
Hi there, thank you so much for sharing your lovely insights! You might be able to get a mask liner like this one www.sleep-tight.co.uk/pad-a-cheek-mask-liner-for-resmed-airfit-f30i-cpap-mask which might help with some of those marks. Have a great day
I love the ResMed f30i full face CPAP mask. I'm able to wear my glasses and read before bed I like the fact that the tubing connects to the elbow on the top of my head and I'm able to have side to side freedom of movement while I'm asleep in bed
I got diagnosed with sleep apnea last week. I have the approval from my insurance now I am just waiting for where my Dr wants me to buy it from to give me a call and set up an appointment. Thank you so much for this video, I have a deviated septum and I rarely breath through my nose. I am so happy that there is a smaller full mask.
This is my 1st go at a CPAP machine & this is the exact mask that was supplied with my machine, it felt very good as it was being fitted & the fact that you are recommending it gives me a bit more faith to trial this mask/machine combo.
Very informative and practical video. This gentleman’s delivery and attitude is engaging, and appreciated the selfless assist for the specialty clinics and businesses out there.
Our clinic isn't doing any sizing right now, but I needed a rescue so I did order online, but before I ordered, I did e-mail the company a few times to clarify certain questions I had. They replied and so I am taking the chance. I hope this solves my issues, because I really need this therapy to work, I lose more energy every day not getting proper sleep.
After looking at your review I ordered this mask and have been using it for several days now and it is an excellent mask in my opinion. Thanks for your review.

I use a F30M mask. I like it because it doesn't have to be very tight against my face in order to seal. It has the cloth-elastic headgear. What I DON'T like are the magnetic latches on the bottom of the mask. since I sleep on my side, it's easy to pop them off and have the mask to start leaking. The Respironics mask that I had in the past snapped on and stayed on much better.
I have one that is a medium and it is very comfortable. I have a big head and just ordered a wide cushion to see if it is any better. VA supplies mine normally but they take forever to get anything to me. I bought a wide cushion on eBay and will try it.
Our clinics are not open so I ordered from the company associated with the clinic. Found that using the template got me to the right size. I love the mask. It is a lot easier and more comfortable the the F 20 I had before.
I liked the suggestion of going to clinic and buy the mask. It’s late for me and I bought it online. When I was placing order online for frame, it was showing just standard size and them large size so I called the online support of that vendor. The representative suggested to go with standard size as that is most appropriate size for most. When I received the mask I feel it’s too tight on my nose even after loosening the frame. I rarely use this mask now and often switch back to ResMed AirTouch F20 that i feel more comfortable and gives good sleep score.
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.
Ive got one, been trying to use it. Ive no good results. Moves around during sleep, and leaks like mad after some sleep. Ive tried chin support. Still trying to make it work.
Thanks for your well-made, and thoughtful videos. And that's wise advice about seeing the sleep clinic. I haven't been to one in several years because I no longer have insurance. But it's probably worth it to do so, because like you said, they're gonna know how to get the correct sizes of all the gear, and fit it properly, etc. And if we just keep buying cheaply, we're gonna end up in a cheap, unsupported situation.
Hi there, thanks for your comment and kind words. For some masks i think it's okay but for this mask in particular probably best to get fitted up in a clinic. There's a similar mask by Philips called the dreamwear full that you can get in a fitpack which comes with all the size cushions included. I'd be more confident in ordering that one online :). Have a great day. Nick
Your correct, I have found this unit to be the best of a bad bunch. I agree it is everything positive. Struggling with minor issues is the least of my problems. The only negative aspect is I use a contoured memory foam pillow which I believe provides too much resistance when lying on my side. It then counteracts this with ramping up the oxygen flow unnecessarily. Otherwise the mask is the best so far.
I have this mask with a AirSense 10 CPAP machine. The MyAire numbers were declining on a night-by-night basis when decided it was time give up CPAP treatment forever. I started with AirtTouch N30i but pretty much 'mouth breathe' most of the night so that was comfy but a failure. I am now striving for 'Inspire' surgical implant. We'll see.....
Just got this mask 2 weeks ago and it's been the best one of about 5 other masks I've tried! I'm able to go 6-8 hours fairly easily. I still slow 0 stars out of 3 for my mask fit on my machine and I'm not sure why. It rarely leaks air enough to awaken me like ALL the other masks do, thank God, I was near giving up!
Thank you for this video! I just got this and I’m new to all this. I went into the clinic to get fitted and pick up my machine. I’m very surprised that it’s not so uncomfortable, honestly I was dreading this but I’m actually hopeful now that I can get some decent sleep. Thank you 😊
G’day, Nick! I just got this mask at my most recent sleep study. Also, my first full-faced (I’ve been using the Phillips Dreamwear). I’ve experimented a bit with cushion sizes. Pretty much settled on SW. That said, later in the night (not immediately) I start to get discomfort in my septum. I loosened the straps a bit to alleviate the discomfort, then the mask leakage begins. I’m in a bit of a quandary. Also, I’m used to the quick connect/release of the elbow to the tubing from my Dreamwear and the f30i doesn’t have this feature. I saw a third party quick connect/release, so maybe I’ll try that if I stay with this mask. Having the tubing at the top of my head is the game changer for me. (As well as the air flow down both sides of the assembly). Thanks for all you do! Cheers! David 🍻
Hey Nicko, I have a mask hack for you. I love this mask but when I fall asleep my jaw often relaxes and falls breaking the seal. Hack: Criss cross the lower straps under your jaw to the opposite magnet’s then your jaw is supported.
Great Video and advice about not buying on line with all the different sizes and fits . I'll be going to get fitted and buy from there so i get the right size
I just got this mask yesterday. Wore it for the first time last night, I was using the ResMed Mirage Liberty. I slept ok but not great, but I think that's just me needing to get used to the new mask. The one thing I wish they would do is make a bigger head gear(the straps). I have an unusually large noggin and even with the straps almost all the way released it's still really tight. I'm hoping they'll stretch and give a better fit after some use. So far though, after one night I'm liking it.
Great review thanks - as a Brit I do find the Aussie accent so very friendly and easy-going. Much nicer than a Brit accent I can assure you, even though I speak with one.
I just got this mask two days ago and so far it has been a nightmare. I can’t keep a good seal. It has started out fine and my machine says the seal is good but then once my ramp time is up and I kick into the full pressure (I’m on a pressure 14) it just leaks and makes noise and rattles and drives me crazy. I lasted 39 minutes with it last night and threw it across the room.
I couldn't get used to this one. I hated the way it would pull my hair about when I moved sleep position. Woke me up everytime so I went back to my f30 which I never had a problem with in the first place. Sleep well guys 👍
Thats the one i got! Its nice especially when animals sleep with you because the hose on top the head! You can sleep on your stomach, side and back! The last one bringed on my nose and wore a place on my nose! This one does not do that! This is the best one yet!
I use to use the Mirage Liberty when I was on Bipap years back. Now on Cpap and am using this mask. I went with this mask as I have had basal cell removed from the bridge, end, and tip of my nose and and didn't want a full mask going across my nose. Also claustrophobic. I doing good with this mask, but it may take you a few different sizes to find what's best for you. I'm using a medium. I miss using the Mirage Liberty though.
I just ordered one through the VA. I have the P30i and N30i and I love the N30i the most but with both of them I wake up a lot with the mask on top of my nose or on my forehead. Really annoying and last night was the event that caused me to message the VA sleep clinic to try the F30i. I figure with it having the second strap with the magnets may help with it creeping up. I run the climate line on my air sense 11 and the humidity is on auto and feels great so not sure if I am pulling it off or it’s getting pushed off from my pillow and my active sleeping.
I just started using this mask. I like it except it do get air whooshing out of leaks and have to adjust it a lot early one when putting in on. But also, if my nose itches and I just have to scratch it, I found if I can lift the mask up from the bottom a little, it doesn't mess with how it fits on your nose, so you don't have to take it off and start over again. Prior to this, I was using the N30i that just goes under your nose. But it was constantly shifting and I had really bad dry mouth. The F30i stay in place even if I'm sleeping on my side.
I am new to using my CPAP machine only 4 days now. This is the mask I’m using, I have I found it very comfortable because I do turn from side to side and the tube doesn’t get in the way since it’s over my head..I was fitted with it a a sleep center.. i’m surprised I have not had a issue with sleeping. I was having 83 events a hour before so hoping for lots of improvement…..
Hows it going just read your review, my numbers from my sleep study was in the 70s I have been so freaked out about that because everyone keeps saying omg I have never heard of numbers that high😮
I understand telling us to support the clinic but... My clinic wanted to charge me $2,600 Canadian for a ResMed airsense 10 Auto. I bought it on Amazon for $900. It's not an issue I guess if you've got insurance when you're trying to pay for your own stuff it's hard to go to the clinic.
I would encourage customers to talk with their consultants regarding other prices online and meet at a price where the cilnic still makes a little money to employ staff, pay leases etc but at the same time you then get quality support when you need it. I do feel that if you started having a lot of issues and needed some assistance the guy on amazon wouldn't want to know about it but i can certainly see the appeal saving over $1000 dollars. Anyway, my advice was really regarding this mask with respect to the sizing but i get your point. Cheers
@@bba.by.marilyn no they don't I live in Ontario and if you don't have extra insurance OHIP pays half for the machine you pay full price for the mask I know because I just bought one
you need a prescription to get one from a clinic after you have done a sleep study If a sleep study is done and they may prescribe a CPAP and OHIP in Ontario will pay half Not sure of the other Provinces but they probably are the same The Airsence auto should be around $800
I have a similar issue, I have no clinic and a brand new lowenstein machine. Clinics refuse to help me because they didn't have the machine I want, so I went online to get it. I did my sleep study with the clinic and they funny care. Just want to pawn of crappy over priced resmed machines to people. I've had the worse experiences with sleep clinics in canada. Tried to switched clinics, they want me to do over the sleep study I just did and buy the machine from them. Worse experience, took my 3 months to finally get a machine because the places that had it don't wanna help you, even though I had a prescription. They want you to do the whole thing over with them. What a corrupt industry. I hope they choke on the machines, themselves.
Hello! I have some input and comments, plus a couple questions about this mask. I have been using a CPAP system for over 3 years now, a Phillips Dream Station ( yes the recalled one and although I " signed up" in June two 2021I haven't received my replacement yet as of January 29 2023 ) with the F20 ResMed full face mask. I went with trying this one as the F20 would sometimes leak as I move from side to back to other side a couple times per night. I also get irritation on the bridge of the nose the first 2 weeks with a new mask but not after that. 2 Nights ago, after receiving the new F30i I tried it out. At first I was surprised at how good it felt and fit. One immediate " issue " is that there is a slight "Whoosh " of air apparently from the vents where the frame connects to the mask ( there doesn't appear to be any flaps to the vent so quite a bit of the air coming through the hose and the frame's tubes is spewing out of those vents. There is some noise although it's not enough to keep me awake but the air hitting my arm or shoulder etc. is noticeable even though I think I could become used to it. What really had me concerned was my Dram Station has a water tank and the hose has a heating wire that keeps the moist air from being too cold. After a fw hours of sleep I awoke because my nose and mouth were completely dried out. I never wanted the heated hose but the humidifier is great. Does this mask not work with a humidifier maybe because of the extra length of the tubing in the headgear or is the air rushing out of the mask vents causing the dryness. I also had a sore lower nose likely because I may have had too much tension on the headgear adjustment straps but maybe also because I have never had anything pushing up on the bottom of my nose?
Does the face get hot and stuffy? I find with the normal full face mask I wake up after an hour absolutely melting, sweaty face and like I can't breathe properly
I'm using nasal mask N20. I've had it since November 17. The last four days I've had trouble with drooling. I'm worried how a full mask would work. With the mask I have now I get dry mouth and lips.
@@gaylawalker1834 did you try a climate hose in your cpap machine? They say warm air helps with a dry throat, unless you're a mouth breather. I was told to switch to a F20 for mouth breathing. I tried the F20 but, I prefer my N20. I am training myself to breathe out of my nose. The warm air feels so much better; no dry throat. I will definitely try the F30i next.
I received my mask on the exact same day!! Yes, I drooled with the N20, too. I've never drooled in my sleep before! I love the N30i mask. I think my drooling has lessened. I just sleep with a washcloth on my pillow. Maybe one day it will go away.
Hi Nick, my hubby uses a full face mask as he's nowon a BiPAP machine (due to lung problems) and he has nothing but bother with the seal. Before moving onto the BiPAP, he was on an AirSense 10 or 11 and he used the nasal pillows, which he loved, but the nasal pillows are not recommended for the BiPAP machine. This sounds like the perfect solution as he also really liked the fact that the air part was on top of the head too. Thanks for another great review. 🙂
@@PanamaRose I'm happy that you are happy with your mask, unfortunately, my husband wasn't. It was the same with the nasal pillow mask that sits just under your nose. We are all different and maybe all the other people you know in the same position are lucky too, so I guess my husband was just unlucky. Either way, it doesn't change the fact that the nasal pillows are no good for him with hi bipap machine. He is waiting for the Eclipse Bleep to come here so he can use that one (fingers crossed). Nick has done a review on that one too and it seems to stand up to the high air pressure without any problems, so we'll try that when it comes to Australia.
@@CPAPReviews last night I got 7 hours of sleep finally sometimes I have keep changing masks I have pillow and full face one trying to see what right fit is
I haven't found a mask that fits. The length between the top of my nose and chin is just over 3 inches and all small masks I have been given to try by the sleep apnea suppliers are about 3.5 inches long so I wake up 4 to 8 times a night to stop the machine and bring down the leaking high pressure caused by leaking around the mask. Also I am stuck with severe strep markes against my face from strapping tightly.
@@CPAPReviews Can you recommend a full face mask that is 3 to 3 1/4 inches long with memory foam because The plastic material makes my face oily and then it separates waking me by the extensive vibrating action on my face. I cannot sleep at night. I have severe sleep as one wherwbyI go down to 75% oxygen and it triggers AFib. The F20 Airtouch size small is too long and leaks horribly as soon as the pressure gets to 10.
Hi Bob, great to hear from you. You should need to replace the whole mask but probably the cushion and headgear every 6 months (ResMed will officially recommend a shorter time frame). You will notice that it will start leaking when parts are due for replacement. If it's not leaking and still comfortable then you can continue to keep using it as long as you need. All the best. Nick
Thanks for the feedback. I did consider it but thought most would work it out. I have been also recommending that most people should probably go and get this fitted by a consultant instead of trying to do it yourself as a lot of people are getting their sizing wrong when they try and do it themselves. Cheers
I chose their P30i nasal pillow ,as the one i have used for years upon using the resmed 10 has a big air leak,i felt this mask might help with the leak.(80),next day,60....i recall the air that goes out of mask is quite strong...when my dad lived,i slept in a twin bed away from him and he was about 10 meters away from me,yet i would get shout at due to "that cold air"coming his way when ever i turned to check on him...lol!!!
The valves on mine don’t seal on the inhale..... which means I never get pressure built up. It just rockets out those from ports all night !! Did I get a defective one?
Potentially, i'd probably check back with the company you purchased it from. Should definitely be getting some pressure build up as that's essentially the therapy! Thanks for your comment
I can only try a different style mask every 4 months ( insurance req), so even tho I’m not happy with the nose pillows, I can’t try a different style till Dec. since I just got my replacement supply of pillows. So I have to keep unsuccessfully struggling. Can’t afford to buy one myself
I prefer the ResMed F-30 and the ResMed F-20 and really do not like the ResMed F-30i. I use a ResMed S-10 BiPAP and I hate the noise of the air going over the side of my head. Perhaps, with a CPAP, and constant noise, this may not be an issue,
I'm going to my VA clinic later this month I am going to try the F30i full face mask and see what's right for me. Like I said go to the clinic and try out first.
@@CPAPReviews Gary do VA have these. I currently have F30 that is horrible. I tried asking VA if i can change mask they were ademant about what ever you got while sleep study thats the one you will keep.
ganesh ghimire At my VA they let me keep 2 masks they tried during the sleep study (ResMed F10 Full Face and Dreamwear Nasal) THEN when they shipped me my Aircurve 10 ASV they ordered an F20 since I preferred the full face mask during the sleep study. Now the F20 has caused bleeding and marks on the bridge of my nose so they’ve just ordered me an F30i fit kit with all 3 mask sizes so I can pick the best one. Sounds like your VA clinic is screwing you which is typical of the VA, I’m lucky to have moved right next to the absolute best VA in the entire country so my experience probably isn’t typical.
@@tylerbrown1457 Tyler i will take it back. They actually sent me without asking any questions. F30i is best mask out there. i have been monitoring my data and i barely have any leaks.
ganesh ghimire I just had a ResMed AirSense 10 and ResMed F30i mailed to me from my VA Hospital here in St Petersburg, FL. Not sure if all VA hospital/clinics are the same though.
The only thing with these masks is the magnetic clips break way to easily . Just popped another this AM .😒 So have to buy more again ! Also hard to find a clinic that will fit you during pandemic, all online...so stuck wanting to try F30i, but don't want to have to purchase all sizes to fit at home .
I'm new to cpaps, so take my experience (lack thereof) for what it is, but I feel like this seal gets easily broken if you sidesleep and it gets even the slightest pressure from my pillow against it. I've got all of the cushion sizes and it doesn't seem to matter. Even if I make the mask uncomfortably tight, it still has that issue for me.
Hi Sly, yes some masks just don't suit peoples face shape or features and you will never achieve a good seal. You just need to try another one. I would suggest trying a more traditional style instead of the hybrid which tend to seal a lot better. A resmed F20, F&P Vitera are some good suggestions. Cheers
Mine issue is on my back that it leaks, I can sleep on my side no problem, but then my knees get stiff and hurt lol. I have a pretty hard pillow made by temprupedic. I wonder if you slept with a lpillow with less give to it of that would stop for you😁
There is so small wide size for the cushion. Only 3 sizes small medium and wide. Although the sizing guide has sw, there is no option to choose this when ordering
Hi John, never heard of that part ever breaking, let alone twice. I suggest you email ResMed or perhaps the company that sold you the mask and hopefully they will send you another frame. If not..... 3rd time lucky. Good luck

Uncle Nicko
I own an airfit f3.0 i mask with a resmed airsense 10 machine. I love it. Can the mask be adapted to work using a battery powered resmed mini machine for camping and travel.
This mask is literally the reason I didn’t give up on therapy all together. It’s a godsend.
Nice one bro. Thanks for sharing your experience with the F30i. A fav of mine too. Nicko
I will try the F 30 mask because I have the F20 is very uncomfortable for me, I feel I can't breathe.
Got this mask 2 days ago so I have 2 sleeps in. It is THE most comfortable mask I have ever tried. Almost like not wearing one at all. Yes I do get some leaks but I think all masks leak at one place or another. The head gear size Medium is fine. The other I've tried medium, then small, then back to medium. Just can't decide which one is more comfortable for the full night. 5 Stars for this Resmed F30i mask!
Thanks for your feedback 👍🏻. Glad to hear it’s working well for you. All the best
Hello Nick, I'm glad you have decided to review this particular mask. With the mirage quattro full face mask I was having 11 apneas an hour. After using the F30i I went down to 4 Apneas an hour. Great mask and less bulky than the Mirage Quattro.
Great to hear it mate! All the best
I found this channel by searching for F30i. I'm a new sleep apnea person (formerly "borderline" sleep study) and happy to eventually realize goals. I think Covid exacerbated my apnea, and here I am in 2021.
Glad you found me! Hope you enjoy the vids and good luck with your cpap therapy in 2021 and beyond. Cheers
Just started using this mask. I started with the nose pillow type and quickly realize I am very much a mouth breather. This mask is fantastic. My first night was a 99/100 score on my air step 11 machine. Extremely comfortable and making the training on using a CPAP very easy.
My skin is very sensitive to the silicone but, I made this work. After trying six different mask this is my favorite of them all. I modified a mask cover to keep the mask from touching my skin. I also brought strap covers for the frame. The head gear is awesome, allows me to rollover, and get comfortable, without getting tangled up in the tubing. The F30i and climate control tubing have me sleeping better than I have in the past two years. I wish I had tried this mask first, it would have made the start of my sleep therapy, so much easier. The right size mask makes a world of difference. I started with a medium and switched to a small-wide. The small-wide is so comfortable and will definitely be my replacement mask for here on out.
Hi Cheryl, thanks for sharing your experience with the F30i, Glad it's working well for you. Have a nice day. Nick
Hi, how did you modify a mask cover for your skin? My skin peels
Ya its great
The quality of your video is excellent. Especially taking the mask apart to understand the components.
Hi Tom, thanks for the kind words mate. Glad you enjoyed it. Nick
Thanks Nick for the review. I’ve been using this mask for almost 2 years, it’s the best mask so far. Only problem is that the connection between the frame and the mask would crack after 4 to 5 months and needs to be replaced. Resmed only provides warranty for only 3 months here in Canada!
Your reviews have been so helpful in choosing the right CPAP machine and mask from a bewildering array of options out there. I like how you get straight down to brass tacks and highlight the pros and cons. Thank you very much!
Thank you for the review! Wow, this is the best mask I have found for me after 10 years, no leaks and comfortable, paired with ResMed 11, I am killing the 100s on ResMed air app... highly recommend one giving it a try!
I got this mask from a provider who was given a Rx from my doctor who spent a whooping 15 minutes showing me how to use the resvent 20A & gave me a F30i mask & sent me on my way. I have tried to get a seal with this
😊for 4 days with no luck. It is really frustrating. I also feel like my lungs are being blown out & my chest hurts like I am having an asthma attack. Your videos explain more than the doctor & the mask provider’s clinic. Thank you!
how do you feel now?
I’ve had this mask for one year. Using a small frame with a small-wide cushion. I think my frame may be too small as it leaves me with a lot of face marking in the morning. But otherwise it is the best mask I’ve ever tried and have achieved 6+ hours a night with the mask for the entire year since the switch. Previous masks were dreamweaver and F30. Liked the F30 cushion but hated the hose off the front weighing it down. The dreamweaver was too delicate and leaked - but loved the hose off the top. So I knew as soon as I saw it the F30i would be perfect and it is. Not sure what I would do without this mask
Hi there, thank you so much for sharing your lovely insights! You might be able to get a mask liner like this one www.sleep-tight.co.uk/pad-a-cheek-mask-liner-for-resmed-airfit-f30i-cpap-mask which might help with some of those marks. Have a great day
Your reviews are great Nicko! Thanks for doing them, really appreciated! 2 thumbs up!
Hi There, very welcome! Really appreciate the great feedback :). Thank you
I love the ResMed f30i full face CPAP mask. I'm able to wear my glasses and read before bed I like the fact that the tubing connects to the elbow on the top of my head and I'm able to have side to side freedom of movement while I'm asleep in bed
I got diagnosed with sleep apnea last week. I have the approval from my insurance now I am just waiting for where my Dr wants me to buy it from to give me a call and set up an appointment. Thank you so much for this video, I have a deviated septum and I rarely breath through my nose. I am so happy that there is a smaller full mask.
This is my 1st go at a CPAP machine & this is the exact mask that was supplied with my machine, it felt very good as it was being fitted & the fact that you are recommending it gives me a bit more faith to trial this mask/machine combo.
Love this mask! I don't feel so "claustrophobic". I'm a mouth breather, and this mask works great! Comfortable, too.
Very informative and practical video. This gentleman’s delivery and attitude is engaging, and appreciated the selfless assist for the specialty clinics and businesses out there.
Our clinic isn't doing any sizing right now, but I needed a rescue so I did order online, but before I ordered, I did e-mail the company a few times to clarify certain questions I had. They replied and so I am taking the chance. I hope this solves my issues, because I really need this therapy to work, I lose more energy every day not getting proper sleep.
Best wishes for the future
Dear Elizabeth.... i know how it feels... bless you
After looking at your review I ordered this mask and have been using it for several days now and it is an excellent mask in my opinion. Thanks for your review.

I sleep on my stomach.
I need to sleep with my mouth open but drooling is a huge issue.
I use a F30M mask. I like it because it doesn't have to be very tight against my face in order to seal. It has the cloth-elastic headgear. What I DON'T like are the magnetic latches on the bottom of the mask. since I sleep on my side, it's easy to pop them off and have the mask to start leaking. The Respironics mask that I had in the past snapped on and stayed on much better.
I have one that is a medium and it is very comfortable. I have a big head and just ordered a wide cushion to see if it is any better. VA supplies mine normally but they take forever to get anything to me. I bought a wide cushion on eBay and will try it.
Thanks for your feedback Greg. Cheers and best wishes
Thank you, I’ve been binge watching all your videos and have learned a lot since I’m new to this, much appreciated!
Our clinics are not open so I ordered from the company associated with the clinic. Found that using the template got me to the right size. I love the mask. It is a lot easier and more comfortable the the F 20 I had before.
Hi Dietrich, thanks for sharing your experience. Glad you are enjoying the F30i. I like it too :)
The ResMed AirSense 10 turned off when I took my old mask of my face but it doesn't with this one. Am I doing something wrong?
Just got my new F30i and its great!!
I liked the suggestion of going to clinic and buy the mask. It’s late for me and I bought it online. When I was placing order online for frame, it was showing just standard size and them large size so I called the online support of that vendor. The representative suggested to go with standard size as that is most appropriate size for most. When I received the mask I feel it’s too tight on my nose even after loosening the frame. I rarely use this mask now and often switch back to ResMed AirTouch F20 that i feel more comfortable and gives good sleep score.
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.
G'day Kevin, thanks for the awesome suggestions. Have a great day. Nick
Ive got one, been trying to use it. Ive no good results. Moves around during sleep, and leaks like mad after some sleep. Ive tried chin support. Still trying to make it work.
Thanks for your well-made, and thoughtful videos. And that's wise advice about seeing the sleep clinic. I haven't been to one in several years because I no longer have insurance. But it's probably worth it to do so, because like you said, they're gonna know how to get the correct sizes of all the gear, and fit it properly, etc. And if we just keep buying cheaply, we're gonna end up in a cheap, unsupported situation.
Hi there, thanks for your comment and kind words. For some masks i think it's okay but for this mask in particular probably best to get fitted up in a clinic. There's a similar mask by Philips called the dreamwear full that you can get in a fitpack which comes with all the size cushions included. I'd be more confident in ordering that one online :). Have a great day. Nick
Last night was my first night using this and I love love love it, thanks for the great review👍🤗
Hi Angela, glad to hear it :-). Wishing you all the best. Nick
@@CPAPReviews thanks so much
I use the phillips respironics dreamwear nasal mask, would this mask fit onto the same tubing or would i need a different tube?
Your correct, I have found this unit to be the best of a bad bunch. I agree it is everything positive. Struggling with minor issues is the least of my problems. The only negative aspect is I use a contoured memory foam pillow which I believe provides too much resistance when lying on my side. It then counteracts this with ramping up the oxygen flow unnecessarily. Otherwise the mask is the best so far.
I have this mask with a AirSense 10 CPAP machine. The MyAire numbers were declining on a night-by-night basis when decided it was time give up CPAP treatment forever. I started with AirtTouch N30i but pretty much 'mouth breathe' most of the night so that was comfy but a failure. I am now striving for 'Inspire' surgical implant. We'll see.....
Good day mate, thanks again
Just got the f30i today
we'll see how it does
How has it been working now that you've had it for more than a month?
Just got this mask 2 weeks ago and it's been the best one of about 5 other masks I've tried! I'm able to go 6-8 hours fairly easily. I still slow 0 stars out of 3 for my mask fit on my machine and I'm not sure why. It rarely leaks air enough to awaken me like ALL the other masks do, thank God, I was near giving up!
Thank you for this video! I just got this and I’m new to all this. I went into the clinic to get fitted and pick up my machine. I’m very surprised that it’s not so uncomfortable, honestly I was dreading this but I’m actually hopeful now that I can get some decent sleep. Thank you 😊
I love the mask and am getting great results on minimum leakage and low (
the nose pillow contour is an improvement
Hi Ralph, thanks for your feedback. All the best
Is this available without magnets?
G’day, Nick! I just got this mask at my most recent sleep study. Also, my first full-faced (I’ve been using the Phillips Dreamwear). I’ve experimented a bit with cushion sizes. Pretty much settled on SW. That said, later in the night (not immediately) I start to get discomfort in my septum. I loosened the straps a bit to alleviate the discomfort, then the mask leakage begins. I’m in a bit of a quandary.
Also, I’m used to the quick connect/release of the elbow to the tubing from my Dreamwear and the f30i doesn’t have this feature. I saw a third party quick connect/release, so maybe I’ll try that if I stay with this mask.
Having the tubing at the top of my head is the game changer for me. (As well as the air flow down both sides of the assembly).
Thanks for all you do!
Cheers!
David 🍻
Hey Nicko, I have a mask hack for you. I love this mask but when I fall asleep my jaw often relaxes and falls breaking the seal. Hack: Criss cross the lower straps under your jaw to the opposite magnet’s then your jaw is supported.
Haha, that's awesome! I'll certainly check it out
Is this made without the magnet connections? I can't use the magnets with my Pacemaker device.
I absolutely love it! I use it with the Resmed AirSense 11.
Hi Brandy, That's a great combo! Cheers
Great Video and advice about not buying on line with all the different sizes and fits . I'll be going to get fitted and buy from there so i get the right size
I just got this mask yesterday. Wore it for the first time last night, I was using the ResMed Mirage Liberty. I slept ok but not great, but I think that's just me needing to get used to the new mask. The one thing I wish they would do is make a bigger head gear(the straps). I have an unusually large noggin and even with the straps almost all the way released it's still really tight. I'm hoping they'll stretch and give a better fit after some use. So far though, after one night I'm liking it.
Great review thanks - as a Brit I do find the Aussie accent so very friendly and easy-going. Much nicer than a Brit accent I can assure you, even though I speak with one.
I love this mask! I do struggle with sleeping on the side though but it works.
I just got this mask two days ago and so far it has been a nightmare. I can’t keep a good seal. It has started out fine and my machine says the seal is good but then once my ramp time is up and I kick into the full pressure (I’m on a pressure 14) it just leaks and makes noise and rattles and drives me crazy. I lasted 39 minutes with it last night and threw it across the room.
This could be what I need. Only been doing this for 3 months and struggling with bridge of nose issues and claustrophobia.
I couldn't get used to this one. I hated the way it would pull my hair about when I moved sleep position. Woke me up everytime so I went back to my f30 which I never had a problem with in the first place.
Sleep well guys 👍
Where can I buy the liners for this model?
Thats the one i got! Its nice especially when animals sleep with you because the hose on top the head! You can sleep on your stomach, side and back! The last one bringed on my nose and wore a place on my nose! This one does not do that! This is the best one yet!
Awesome mate, thanks for sharing your experience and insights. really appreciate it. Nick
Where O2 tube will be fitted
First time trying this mask I like it so far...
i'm currently using the Mirage Liberty which is being discontinued. Has anybody transitioned from the Mirage Liberty to the F30i ?
I use to use the Mirage Liberty when I was on Bipap years back. Now on Cpap and am using this mask. I went with this mask as I have had basal cell removed from the bridge, end, and tip of my nose and and didn't want a full mask going across my nose. Also claustrophobic. I doing good with this mask, but it may take you a few different sizes to find what's best for you. I'm using a medium. I miss using the Mirage Liberty though.
I’m a mouth breather. I also sleep face down. Works very well!
Thanks for the feedback Arturo, glad you enjoy the mask
I always use Resmed product ever since I was given my air 10 Cpaptherapy
It really helps me of a nighttime as I can be monitored by my sleep physician remotely by the Internet
I just ordered one through the VA. I have the P30i and N30i and I love the N30i the most but with both of them I wake up a lot with the mask on top of my nose or on my forehead. Really annoying and last night was the event that caused me to message the VA sleep clinic to try the F30i. I figure with it having the second strap with the magnets may help with it creeping up. I run the climate line on my air sense 11 and the humidity is on auto and feels great so not sure if I am pulling it off or it’s getting pushed off from my pillow and my active sleeping.
On the air cushion where the noise go they could add on the air noise pillow with that mask
great idea
I just started using this mask. I like it except it do get air whooshing out of leaks and have to adjust it a lot early one when putting in on. But also, if my nose itches and I just have to scratch it, I found if I can lift the mask up from the bottom a little, it doesn't mess with how it fits on your nose, so you don't have to take it off and start over again. Prior to this, I was using the N30i that just goes under your nose. But it was constantly shifting and I had really bad dry mouth. The F30i stay in place even if I'm sleeping on my side.
Doesn’t Phillip carry the same style mask the dreamer
Is there an online shop that will ship this to Singapore?
I am new to using my CPAP machine only 4 days now. This is the mask I’m using, I have I found it very comfortable because I do turn from side to side and the tube doesn’t get in the way since it’s over my head..I was fitted with it a a sleep center.. i’m surprised I have not had a issue with sleeping. I was having 83 events a hour before so hoping for lots of improvement…..
Hows it going just read your review, my numbers from my sleep study was in the 70s I have been so freaked out about that because everyone keeps saying omg I have never heard of numbers that high😮
I understand telling us to support the clinic but... My clinic wanted to charge me $2,600 Canadian for a ResMed airsense 10 Auto. I bought it on Amazon for $900. It's not an issue I guess if you've got insurance when you're trying to pay for your own stuff it's hard to go to the clinic.
I would encourage customers to talk with their consultants regarding other prices online and meet at a price where the cilnic still makes a little money to employ staff, pay leases etc but at the same time you then get quality support when you need it. I do feel that if you started having a lot of issues and needed some assistance the guy on amazon wouldn't want to know about it but i can certainly see the appeal saving over $1000 dollars. Anyway, my advice was really regarding this mask with respect to the sizing but i get your point. Cheers
In Canada the Government pays 100% for any machine! I just go a new one after 5 years and it was completely paid for by the Government of Canada.
@@bba.by.marilyn no they don't I live in Ontario and if you don't have extra insurance OHIP pays half for the machine you pay full price for the mask I know because I just bought one
you need a prescription to get one from a clinic after you have done a sleep study If a sleep study is done and they may prescribe a CPAP and OHIP in Ontario will pay half Not sure of the other Provinces but they probably are the same The Airsence auto should be around $800
I have a similar issue, I have no clinic and a brand new lowenstein machine. Clinics refuse to help me because they didn't have the machine I want, so I went online to get it. I did my sleep study with the clinic and they funny care. Just want to pawn of crappy over priced resmed machines to people. I've had the worse experiences with sleep clinics in canada. Tried to switched clinics, they want me to do over the sleep study I just did and buy the machine from them. Worse experience, took my 3 months to finally get a machine because the places that had it don't wanna help you, even though I had a prescription. They want you to do the whole thing over with them. What a corrupt industry. I hope they choke on the machines, themselves.
I couldn’t breathe with it on. I couldn’t sleep on my side without it leaking around the cheek and above the eyes.
Hello! I have some input and comments, plus a couple questions about this mask. I have been using a CPAP system for over 3 years now, a Phillips Dream Station ( yes the recalled one and although I " signed up" in June two 2021I haven't received my replacement yet as of January 29 2023 ) with the F20 ResMed full face mask. I went with trying this one as the F20 would sometimes leak as I move from side to back to other side a couple times per night. I also get irritation on the bridge of the nose the first 2 weeks with a new mask but not after that. 2 Nights ago, after receiving the new F30i I tried it out. At first I was surprised at how good it felt and fit. One immediate " issue " is that there is a slight "Whoosh " of air apparently from the vents where the frame connects to the mask ( there doesn't appear to be any flaps to the vent so quite a bit of the air coming through the hose and the frame's tubes is spewing out of those vents. There is some noise although it's not enough to keep me awake but the air hitting my arm or shoulder etc. is noticeable even though I think I could become used to it. What really had me concerned was my Dram Station has a water tank and the hose has a heating wire that keeps the moist air from being too cold. After a fw hours of sleep I awoke because my nose and mouth were completely dried out. I never wanted the heated hose but the humidifier is great. Does this mask not work with a humidifier maybe because of the extra length of the tubing in the headgear or is the air rushing out of the mask vents causing the dryness. I also had a sore lower nose likely because I may have had too much tension on the headgear adjustment straps but maybe also because I have never had anything pushing up on the bottom of my nose?
I own this mask alongside my N30i. While the N30i is my main mask, I do get a tendency to sleep with my mouth open if I go to bed too tired.
Hi there, thanks for sharing your experience with both masks. This is a good product to help with mouth leak bit.ly/2HV1Sdb Cheers
Will the magnetic snaps affect those with a pacemaker???
Does the face get hot and stuffy? I find with the normal full face mask I wake up after an hour absolutely melting, sweaty face and like I can't breathe properly
Ive been on a cpap for 14 years now and tried all kinds of masks but always go back to the full face.
Hi Rick, yep for some that's certainly the most comfortable but it's always worth trialling a few others too. Cheers
I'm using nasal mask N20. I've had it since November 17. The last four days I've had trouble with drooling. I'm worried how a full mask would work. With the mask I have now I get dry mouth and lips.
@@gaylawalker1834 did you try a climate hose in your cpap machine? They say warm air helps with a dry throat, unless you're a mouth breather. I was told to switch to a F20 for mouth breathing. I tried the F20 but, I prefer my N20. I am training myself to breathe out of my nose. The warm air feels so much better; no dry throat. I will definitely try the F30i next.
@@cherylsingleton3357 yes. I have a heated hose.
I received my mask on the exact same day!! Yes, I drooled with the N20, too. I've never drooled in my sleep before! I love the N30i mask. I think my drooling has lessened. I just sleep with a washcloth on my pillow. Maybe one day it will go away.
Hi Nick, my hubby uses a full face mask as he's nowon a BiPAP machine (due to lung problems) and he has nothing but bother with the seal. Before moving onto the BiPAP, he was on an AirSense 10 or 11 and he used the nasal pillows, which he loved, but the nasal pillows are not recommended for the BiPAP machine. This sounds like the perfect solution as he also really liked the fact that the air part was on top of the head too. Thanks for another great review. 🙂
I used a Liberty Mirage mask with the nasal pillows for years on an Bipap (Airsense 10) and have never heard that!
@@PanamaRose I'm happy that you are happy with your mask, unfortunately, my husband wasn't. It was the same with the nasal pillow mask that sits just under your nose. We are all different and maybe all the other people you know in the same position are lucky too, so I guess my husband was just unlucky. Either way, it doesn't change the fact that the nasal pillows are no good for him with hi bipap machine. He is waiting for the Eclipse Bleep to come here so he can use that one (fingers crossed). Nick has done a review on that one too and it seems to stand up to the high air pressure without any problems, so we'll try that when it comes to Australia.
I’m using one right now my one issue is that the nose loose and can get some air slips but good video
Thanks for sharing your experience with the mask Sam. Best wishes
Nick
I just got mine yesterday hopefully maybe I will find right mask for me
Cheers, hope all is well
@@CPAPReviews last night I got 7 hours of sleep finally sometimes I have keep changing masks I have pillow and full face one trying to see what right fit is
I haven't found a mask that fits. The length between the top of my nose and chin is just over 3 inches and all small masks I have been given to try by the sleep apnea suppliers are about 3.5 inches long so I wake up 4 to 8 times a night to stop the machine and bring down the leaking high pressure caused by leaking around the mask. Also I am stuck with severe strep markes against my face from strapping tightly.
@@CPAPReviews Can you recommend a full face mask that is 3 to 3 1/4 inches long with memory foam because The plastic material makes my face oily and then it separates waking me by the extensive vibrating action on my face. I cannot sleep at night. I have severe sleep as one wherwbyI go down to 75% oxygen and it triggers AFib. The F20 Airtouch size small is too long and leaks horribly as soon as the pressure gets to 10.
How often should this mask be replace, I have one which is wonderful, love it.
Hi Bob, great to hear from you. You should need to replace the whole mask but probably the cushion and headgear every 6 months (ResMed will officially recommend a shorter time frame). You will notice that it will start leaking when parts are due for replacement. If it's not leaking and still comfortable then you can continue to keep using it as long as you need. All the best. Nick

Any international shiiping sites ?
Helpful info but would have been worthwhile to briefly review how the sizing template works. Had to go to another channel to learn that.
Thanks for the feedback. I did consider it but thought most would work it out. I have been also recommending that most people should probably go and get this fitted by a consultant instead of trying to do it yourself as a lot of people are getting their sizing wrong when they try and do it themselves. Cheers

I chose their P30i nasal pillow ,as the one i have used for years upon using the resmed 10 has a big air leak,i felt this mask might help with the leak.(80),next day,60....i recall the air that goes out of mask is quite strong...when my dad lived,i slept in a twin bed away from him and he was about 10 meters away from me,yet i would get shout at due to "that cold air"coming his way when ever i turned to check on him...lol!!!
The valves on mine don’t seal on the inhale..... which means I never get pressure built up. It just rockets out those from ports all night !! Did I get a defective one?
Potentially, i'd probably check back with the company you purchased it from. Should definitely be getting some pressure build up as that's essentially the therapy! Thanks for your comment
I’m really new to this, but my machine acts wacko like this too.
I can only try a different style mask every 4 months ( insurance req), so even tho I’m not happy with the nose pillows, I can’t try a different style till Dec. since I just got my replacement supply of pillows. So I have to keep unsuccessfully struggling. Can’t afford to buy one myself
I prefer the ResMed F-30 and the ResMed F-20 and really do not like the ResMed F-30i. I use a ResMed S-10 BiPAP and I hate the noise of the air going over the side of my head. Perhaps, with a CPAP, and constant noise, this may not be an issue,
I'm going to my VA clinic later this month I am going to try the F30i full face mask and see what's right for me. Like I said go to the clinic and try out first.
Cheers Gary, all the best
@@CPAPReviews Gary do VA have these. I currently have F30 that is horrible. I tried asking VA if i can change mask they were ademant about what ever you got while sleep study thats the one you will keep.
ganesh ghimire At my VA they let me keep 2 masks they tried during the sleep study (ResMed F10 Full Face and Dreamwear Nasal) THEN when they shipped me my Aircurve 10 ASV they ordered an F20 since I preferred the full face mask during the sleep study. Now the F20 has caused bleeding and marks on the bridge of my nose so they’ve just ordered me an F30i fit kit with all 3 mask sizes so I can pick the best one. Sounds like your VA clinic is screwing you which is typical of the VA, I’m lucky to have moved right next to the absolute best VA in the entire country so my experience probably isn’t typical.
@@tylerbrown1457 Tyler i will take it back. They actually sent me without asking any questions. F30i is best mask out there. i have been monitoring my data and i barely have any leaks.
ganesh ghimire I just had a ResMed AirSense 10 and ResMed F30i mailed to me from my VA Hospital here in St Petersburg, FL. Not sure if all VA hospital/clinics are the same though.
Fantastic mask! Had a similar mask from Philips amara view. Resmeds is like night and day
I just got my machine I wish they would've offered me this version of the mask, I'm stuck on the regular f30
Oh well, as long as it does the job. You can always upgrade when your f30 starts to wear. Cheers
My insurance company allows me to change my mask once within thirty days for free.
Does the frame come in small
I have a dreamwear full face in large that ismt wide enough. I ues a nasan thats medium wide. Would this possibly fit using just the wide?
I love the f30i full face CPAP mask it helps me to have freedom of movement while I'm asleep in bed
That's great to hear time. Thanks for sharing your feedback and glad to hear it's working well for you. Nick
here in PA, clinics will not actually let you try on a mask because of the big C.
Can you use so clean machine to clean this
Hi Mary, yes i don't see why not :-)
Would this mask work for a man with a beard and moustache? Thank you!
The only thing with these masks is the magnetic clips break way to easily . Just popped another this AM .😒 So have to buy more again ! Also hard to find a clinic that will fit you during pandemic, all online...so stuck wanting to try F30i, but don't want to have to purchase all sizes to fit at home .
Hi Kim, thanks for sharing your great insights and information. All the best. Nicko
wish they made this with pillows at the top there...I find the cushion style makes for more leaks and sore eyes
I just got this mask thank you for the info
I'm new to cpaps, so take my experience (lack thereof) for what it is, but I feel like this seal gets easily broken if you sidesleep and it gets even the slightest pressure from my pillow against it. I've got all of the cushion sizes and it doesn't seem to matter. Even if I make the mask uncomfortably tight, it still has that issue for me.
Hi Sly, yes some masks just don't suit peoples face shape or features and you will never achieve a good seal. You just need to try another one. I would suggest trying a more traditional style instead of the hybrid which tend to seal a lot better. A resmed F20, F&P Vitera are some good suggestions. Cheers
@@CPAPReviews thanks! Just ordered the F20!
Mine issue is on my back that it leaks, I can sleep on my side no problem, but then my knees get stiff and hurt lol. I have a pretty hard pillow made by temprupedic. I wonder if you slept with a lpillow with less give to it of that would stop for you😁
This is the mask that use. But It kinda rubbs under the nose .. sometimes makes it sore.
I have F30i mask and it is fantastic.
There is so small wide size for the cushion. Only 3 sizes small medium and wide. Although the sizing guide has sw, there is no option to choose this when ordering
There is a small wide I got 1
I liked it but a tab broke that holds the frame to the cushion, it happened twice. Now what do I do?
Hi John, never heard of that part ever breaking, let alone twice. I suggest you email ResMed or perhaps the company that sold you the mask and hopefully they will send you another frame. If not..... 3rd time lucky. Good luck
This or dreamwear fullface?? I still struggle with leaks..
I’m very restless… will it fall off??
