Been a huge fan of the F20. Been using it since it's release. Will be trying this mask out next month.
the problem i have after watching dozens of these cpap videos is that none of them test the person live for leaks. It is easy to do, but once you see how to troubleshoot adjustments you can then more adequately use these masks. Troubleshooting is the major component for using these masks. No one walks out of the office with a mask and is trouble free. Of course you are going to have to make an appt. once you sleep and have problems. But would it work better as an educational video to show some of the things you do when it leaks air in one place or the other. Yes you are going to have to learn during the day how to do this, but still.....
it blows PR dreamwear away ! Perfect seal.... had massive leaks with PR side sleeping. No need to sinch up the F30 tight.. just snug. Use your test fit setting on you machine to adjust. I have the F30i....love it. The sleep tech gave me a dreamwear for the study... he had to jack up my pressure to compensate for the mask. I got major bloating with my P30i which sealed better.. but the F30i is great, and had to decrease the pressure.
This is the mask I use, I prefer this one, I find it so comfortable ❤
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.
Thank you, that was a very informative video and answered my questions.
Thanks Jo! All the best.
Yes it's quiet at the reduction in venting.
Using the newer resmead ...
however with hose come out of head - not nose . Far less pulling etc and better sleep - not having Jose running down front of body, whist sleep .. 👍
Thank you for this, I was only recently diagnosed with a moderate sleep apnea 6 months ago and learning a lot about sleep apnea and the cpap work. I have the F20 and currently looking into the F30
If you haven't used the F-20 AirTouch cushion find out about them. It has a memory foam lining, and it is the best I have used especially with my beard. The only thing is that they need to replaced at least every 30 days. Fortunately, my insurance covers it.
@@lorrinmontagsr44 I have heard that the memory foam cushion also works in the F30 (do your research), also the memory foam cushion is for sale on Amazon for $25 instead of the $59 charged at most places.
I was changed to Air Touch F20 that has memory foam. Very comfortable and no leaks felt. I am Not a mouth breather but my jaw relaxes during sleep causing my mouth to open. I am having issues with dry mouth and tongue sticking to roof of mouth. Humidity now set at 5. Have used this mask for one week. Read about the olive oil. Will try this.
I use the Air Touch F20 also and also had the constant dry mouth. Besides wearing the Cpap mask I also starting using a chin strap. Now I no longer get the dry mouth.
@@Ken-dv9uf What model of chin strap did you use and where did you buy it?
@@gustan44 I use a "Halo Chin Strap". I bought it on Ebay. It's Adjustable using velcro straps to tighten it down. You can buy them on Amazon or Ebay. I bought mine on Ebay. Hope this helps. Good Luck Garland.
In the online manual for dreamwear masks, there’s a printable sizing chart similar to the one you have there.
For those of you with leakage issues, I recommend you try the Resmed Mirage Activa LT mask - I've never found a mask that was better at preventing leaks.
Is that good with all the hair on my face and head??
@@lorrinmontagsr44 I shave every couple of days, so I'm probably not the one to comment on that. Sorry!
New CPAP user. I'm using a resmed airsense 10 and it came with a regular full mask. It worked good for the 1st 3 weeks. After that, i keep getting air leaks. I'm intrested on trying the F30. Question, Do i have to buy a new air hose tubing to connect to the F30 or can i use the one I have?
I have been having leaks on the sides of my nose while using this mask. Do you have any tips to prevent this issue? I do not want to overtighten as I know that can make leaks worse, but it is hard not to when the leaks keep happening.
After using the Dream Wear Full Face Mask [medium size] for about two weeks or less i developed a sore on the bottom of my nose [also some leaking and can't seem to get it to fit right] and had to go back to my Amara View Mask which has it's own problems ! I'm thinking of trying the Air Fit 30 Full Face Mask but it's looks so similar to the Dream Wear Mask i'm afraid i might have the same problem i'm having the Dream Wear Mask. Any thoughts ?
Rich, I use an F-20 AirTouch for the last 3+ years, and my reduced numbers are 18/14 (original test 23/18) and as you can see on my profile picture I am a professional Santa. I DO get irritation on the bridge of my nose. I tried to use the plastic F-20 original blatter mask and it was a disaster, then I tried the memory foam and this has been the best I have used in the 12 years of attempting BiPap.masks. Would this F-30 treat me any better??

Most people use the CPAP machine, but those with a more serious breathing problem like me use the BPAP machine. All of these masks are designed for the CPAP machine. Are there masks designed for the BPAP machine? The nose masks do not work for me because the air comes out of the nose mask like "jet propulsion." The only kind I can use are the full face. Any suggestions?
Rich did several nights with the F30 and will be doing the 2nd part on Monday. Thank you everyone for your support! We appreciate all of you!
whatever happen to part two?
LOL, never mind, I found it right after sent my comment.
I have an f20 and would like to move to an f30 . Could I just buy the f30 cushion and use the f20 straps instead of a full f30 ?
Air fit 30 holes, size small, too far apart for me blocking my airway. Woke up with headache and chest discomfort. Mask very comfortable but airflow obstructed. I have a narrow nose and small face. Resmed please make sizes for women.
I use this mask. I break out under nose and chin with rash. Any advise? Bob
What's the difference between the starter pack and the system packages?
You put the F 20 mask in the F 30 head gear and it fit. I use the F 20 system but I would like to put the F 30 mask in my F 20 head gear. I really like the structural firmness of the F 20. So I am assuming that I could get an F 30 mask and install it on my F20 head gear. What I don't like about the 20 mask is that it covers my entire nose and plugs up my nasal pores and it's like going through puberty again, if you know what I mean?
Agree that this mask has some problems. I tried it for three nights and finally gave up because I could not achieve a seal and it felt like I had to work to get air. I'm going to try the F20 because it seems to be a lot like the Quattro FX I have been using (and love).
Let us know how it works out David!
i've been using nuance for years and been trying to find a mask alternative that would work for me... i've switched to dreamwear full face mask... and it's working good so far... you mentioned resmed is more rigid... but in my opinion non rigid would be better to conform/contour on face... i believe dreamer full face mask is more streamlined/flat...
Just found your video which I found very interesting. Been using the F30 mask for around 4 years. However I had to get the mask replaced about 5 months ago and I now have a problem with the fitting which I didnt experience with the previous mask. The problem is with the strap that goes over the top of the head. All ok unti I lie down and go to sleep. In the night this moves forward and ends up on my forehead and consequently air escapes from the nasal area. The nurse I deal with here in the UK says it takes perseverance too get it right. I have tried everything and desperate to find a solution. Has anyone else had this problem and if so have you found a way of stopping this. Thought I was ask her before contacting my local health authority. Thank you
Can I use my f20 headgeae for the f30 mask? Thanks!!
@USA Medical do you need a social media ingluencer? I will greatly do it in exchange for this mask! Not due for another total system mask for 3 months lol but seriously tho...
Is it easy to get off of your head or disconnect in case you need to get up?
Too many pieces and adjusting.
I have the Resmed one that just fits under your nose and it constantly slides up and pulls on my hair when adjusting. I cannot stand a full face mask though or the hose in front of my face. Any suggestions?
Patricia Beetschen Yes they have magnets instead of clips.
I assume it's not compatible with the P10 nasal I have res-med
??!! What happened? I finished part 1 expecting part 2 to automatically stream in (the part I was VERY interested in) and NO PART2.
Sorry we just fixed the end link: Here you go. ruclips.net/video/Mujv5eQLqnI/видео.html
It’s hot and ends up making noises when time to repax
How to find a local supplier to try a mask?
This mask doesn’t work for me. I mean I love the idea and have used it for a few days already but the cutouts for the nostrils are what’s killing me. There’s just no way it would sit properly on my nose and it would conpletely block my nostrils as soon as I tighten the mask around my face. Sure I can still breathe through the mouth but having my nose blocked makes me feel extremely claustrophobic even though I’m not. The only solution I could probably do would be to cut the strip of silicone in the middle of the two nostril holes but I’m afraid that will just completely throw off the seal of the mask.
No it doesn't make it easier on the patient to have fewer sizes. People need a good fit. Some have pretty large heads, some have smaller-than normal heads. Convenience for the seller should not supersede the needs of the customer.
I need something that will handle a pressure of 20
IT IS nose Pillows and it called air fit n30! there is different one!!
This one is a complete disaster for me. Tried both versions of the F20 with leaks galore and went to the F30 in desperation, but this is much worse. I like the smaller mask size but the deal breaker is the terrible nasal holes. On a flexible silicone mask, this is asking for trouble and I got it. The holes are too small and easy to get out of position, at which point you can't breathe through your nose and wake up feeling like you are suffocating! At higher pressure, the air blasts into your nostrils and quickly irritates. After two nights, terrible ear pain developed. What were they thinking? I am getting very discouraged. This one is going back.
I'm running at 20cm/H2o and I've tried all kinds of full face masks and under your nose full face mask, and the best one I've found so far is F&P Simplus even though I have to cinch it down tight I get the best seal and the best sleep and best sleep reports and the least amount of pain of all of them. I am going to try out this F30 just by chance it might be better. The f20 head gear killed the back of my neck from it being on so tight, and the dreamwear to keeping it from leaking had to have it on so tight it would torque my nose up to my eyebrows, tried different size cushions and adjustments very painful.
Running 19.6 to 20cm most night's had been using the f20. I decided to try the Amara View, I love it no leaks for me.
@@ronnichols9836 you should try the new F&P Vitera. It's the new version of the Simplus.
Why doesn’t someone invent a nasal pillows mask that has a chin strap with it to keep the mouth closed? I just started using a cpap and using a too wide chinstrap with the mask, I feel like I’m wrapped up like a mummy at night.
I want to confirm that a F30 headgear can be used with a F20 Frame and cushion as described here at 4:30 seconds
IT seems 👌 see other people reviews
Did I see it correct where he snapped an F20 cushion into an F30 frame?
I have the F30. That mask will not snap back onto the assembly. I've tried everything. It will not go back on. so aggravating.
Yes it's supposed to compare to the Dreamwear full face, but IT DOESN"T.
Just to expand on my comment, the F 30 and F20 are VERY QUIET. The Dreamwear full face mask SEALS better and MIGHT last longer,,,,,,, BUT,,,, it is VERY NOISY compared to the F series. If you are looking for a quiet mask, look no further than the F20 or F30. If you want to listen to a loud Darth Vader while you are trying to fall asleep then get the Dreamwear FF mask.
If I have a dual ICD, can I use this mask that has magnet straps
I don’t know. You would have to check with your doctor.
I. Just switched to the F30. I'm having extreme dry mouth. I upped level of humidity a notch-6. Why is this happening? I've not experienced this with the full mask. Help
Is there a size LARGE version yet? [yes, see update 1 year later in replies below] Just went to doctor today and she put the medium F30 on me with 16.5 pressure and I was impressed but she said I should order the LARGE instead which she had no sample for. Medium is a bit too narrow for my wider but not extremely wide nose.
Sadly, no. Just small and medium.
Sucks that theres no large yet!
@@Ppluissz6892 Update - my clinic gave me a large a couple months ago but it seemed just the same. This leaks to much unless I make the straps so tight that my nose is sore for hours in the morning.
@@popeyegordon so where can I get a large one? Can't seem to find one on the internet.
@@Ppluissz6892 Call a CPAP supplier or two.
I wish this mask had nasal buds, because I can't get a good seal.
barney rubbles They tried that with the liberty mask and it didn’t go over so well. Less than 1% of our patients are on it.
I like the Amara View - in fact its nearly the most comfortable mask I've ever worn. But because it is very small - It is easily shifted out of position on my face and can then begin to leak. Also - I'm using an ASV machine that can self adjust pressures. When the machine ramps up to a pressure of 20.... the mask will then begin to make that classic trumpet noise on my face and that wakes me up. Annoying. No mask is perfect.
I dont know how you can like the amara. The air comming out of the little holes and shooting in my eyes is so annoying and loud. This mask is silent. It's so nice to not have air blowing at my partner or going psssssssssssss all night.
Trumpet noises. Gotta love those annoying mask farts
How does this function at high pressures? Considering ordering one from your site, but I tried a similar one from a different manufacturer, and it will not handle anything over a pressure of 10.
I'm at 23/19 bipap, and i tried this mask last night. Is it me, or are there NO vents in this mask??? My Comfortfull always allows air out of the front, this one is like the vents are stuck so i can't exhale.
Being new to CPAP, I understand that mask fit & performance is totally subjective.
One person's experience is that person's experience. Not everyone's.
So, weather it worked for that person or not has NO value for other people. CPAP masks are not panty hose (One Size Fits All or this mask will work for everyone).
I have also figured out that CPAP is all about the money. A prescription is required for a machine or a mask? Are you kidding?
Speaking of money, my CPAP machine costs about what I paid for my Samsung Galaxy S9+. This CPAP is a air blower with a few brains and not that brainy.
The costs of these masks are outrageous and beyond the pale. I can't believe that there is more than $5 in materials. I know that R&D costs money but if reasonably priced, they could sell a GAZILLION.
These vendors could reduce the cost by 50% and still make a good profit.
I also understand that I'm on my own when it comes to mask fit & performance.
Screw Medicare! They impose so many unrealistic hoops to jump through that they might as well be the Veterans Administration. If you expect Medicare to pickup the tab for your CPAP treatment then, I have a bridge I want to sell you.
Fortunately, I have the resources to pay not only for the machine but for all of the masks I need to try to make my CPAP treatment successful.
Unfortunately, there are a whole lot of people do not.
My basic conclusion is that CPAP is only for the wealthy, as usual.
This is totally my opinion, being new to CPAP and being subjected to the realities.
HEX40 I get you, fortunately I have extended insurance paid most of the mask and tubing part, as the stupid machine, they quote me $860 ( ResMed air sense 10) Canadian dollar, Ontario health insurance premium covers 75% , the rest ($215) of it is covered by my insurance company! I m lucky as we live in Ontario, I don’t think I can afford it when I retire as a nurse in future! The stupid air machine worth probably 1/3 to half of the price! The plastic tubing with warmer is quoted $100, the n30 nasal mask charges as $325( cushion cracked on arrival) humidifier chamber is $50 , this is total ripoff.... I don’t think majority of us can afford it! I wish the company can lower the prices so that most of the patient can afford to use and benefit from it! ResMed please consider the lower price for bigger potential population users
I hear you I do. But some of us who need CPAP Therapy have no choice but to use Medicare and Medicaid. I do disagree somewhat about it only being for the wealthy. I'm what you'd call "dirt poor". Now my Medicare covers 80%, my state Medicaid should/will be picking up the remaining 20% and the rental fees. But right now until my mother who was a Level 2 Claims Representative for Medicare gets done fighting with AZ Medicaid the 20% is not bad. My rental is 10.70 a month, cushions are 6-8 dollars, filters .88 for a 2 pack. The pricier things like headgear, frames, and humidifier tubs can be made to last. That is if you take care of it there is no reason why hoses, headgear, tubs can last well beyond the "suggested" forms put out by Medicare and insurance. Being a poor person roughly 20 bucks a month is not beyond my reach. Sure I may not be able to go and do frivolous things like out to eat, the salon, movies etc. but my health is more important anyway. Now beyond that if someone has no income, is not covered by insurance, I can understand where things can add up. But CPAP therapy is not an impossible feat. Now in defense of the suppliers like USA Medical they have to live and provide for their families too. Granted though some DME's like mine are charging Medicare such an absurd price for things that it makes me sick! But it's always the few bad apples who spoil it for the bunch.
Let me know the cost
How did u separate the mask? Mine isn't separating .
the first time is difficult, you need to apply a lot of pressure to separate, but it will come apart.
How did you do? Been using this over 4 months and have leak issues every night. Pain in the butt. Maybe full mask.
What size are you using snd what did you use before?
@@USAMedicalSupply I have small mask and the cushion sits under nostrils. Finally fall asleep 1 hour later then air wakes me again. I just folded it down and breathed through mouth. Tried just the nose piece and laid there 2 hours and put mask on.
Koi thik b howa hai
Can thus be used with autocpap dreamstation?
zack mikls yes
Just received this two hours ago, after connecting everything, I found the cushion cracked before I started using it! N30 is so very very flimsy!
Wendy Wu This is the F30 not the F30. Did you order it from USA Medical?
USA Medical Supply oh my bad, i refer to N30! Haha! No I got it from Canada provider!
Another Resmed issue is their system doesn't have enough venting at all. Don't care the mask, you are breathing in your exhausted air all night. For all you Resmed lovers, place your hand on the air intake filter area. You will feel yourself breathing in and out. Not enough fresh air gets to your mask, terrible design. Notice the Philips Dreamstation has mask venting AND hose elbow venting. Also at each location there is more per spot leaking/venting out. Another win for the Dreamstation.
That I can agree on. You can also feel your breathing if you put your hand on the humidifier chamber. Almost like you are blowing bubbles. Ditto for the F20 and lack of vents. My F&P vitera has venting in the front and venting on the elbow. Only venting I've found on the F20 is on the elbow.
are you referring to the machines themselves or the masks? im somewhat confused. i'm new to BiPap and i use a resmed aircurve Vauto machine and i cant find a mask that seals my face at high pressures...10-25 and leaks get so loud that i cant sleep. the machine then stops because it leaks so much and i feel like im suffocating. always heard that CPAP was a pain in the ass and now i know why! looking for a 3rd Fullface mask that wont leak on me after the F10 and Vitera leaked badly.
These things are a pain in the ass to put back on once everything comes undone. Someone has to invent something better for sleep apnea.
There is very little venting almost life threatening.
If you don’t like the quiet air technology, you have the ability to order the original vent. I have seen no tests to date years later that the exhalation ports are insufficient for adequate CO2 release!
Having to wear a cpap is hell.
That is all I have to say.😫
OMG I've had a CPAP mask on for 2 years now and I never get a good enough sleep and I wake up sweating and my face looks beat up. Went to the idiots at the hospital and they told me its normal because its a mask and you're sleeping with it.
Wish I never had sleep apnea as i had a way better sleep without the mask.
You said a mouth full...8 months of hell so far...
@@TomGeek1980 I feel your pain Tom. Have you asked your doc about dental device therapy? My doc says my apea is too severe for that. I toss and turn so much with mask a mask. Constantly waking up tangled in hose, or choking. I'm a side/face sleeper so mask comes off a LOT and very painful sleeping on my back. My doc gave me R/X for Ambien so I'd sleep deeper and move less. All other sleeping pills made me SO tired the whole next day. Ambien 10mg was the game changer. I hose-up, get comfy. Turn off phone, Tv, lights, anything that even MIGHT require me to respond, interact, or get up. BELIEVE ME, if not, I'd SWEAR I was awake while sleep shopping online, texting, talking on the phone, or cook.😴😴 NOPE! 😴😴 Hence, the "Ambien Defense" 🤣 I'm always OUT in 5-15 and have learned (the hard way)to STAY down! 🙃 I now sleep like the dead with ZERO fog/hangover next day. I've been doing mask-ambien combo for years now. You just need to find what works best for you via trial and error. Good luck😊
@@Pepsi_Please Nah i can't do any medication and the sleep clinic i went to the doctor told me i have to use this for the rest of my life even if it doesn't give me the best sleep. All he said was that it will save my life when sleeping.
@@TomGeek1980 yeah, cause if you got the surgery to fix it, you wouldn't need the sleep doc anymore. He wouldn't keep getting paid to NOT fix you by the CPAP mask machine companies that pay him to keep pushing "Their' masks and machines on patience they con into thinking CPAP is the only way. The ONLY and last choice of treatment. It always comes down to the dollars. He doesn't get paid if you get cured. You have rights. You can insist on a referral for a surgery consultation and explore no mask treatments and other surgical options. You want to make an educated decision about your future treatment. After a surgery consultation and you have ALL the TRUE facts.

Bought this one with great hopes. Leaks like crazy! So disappointed.
Have you tried a Fisher & Paykel Vitera or Simplus yet?
Horrible for us bald guys with that buckle on the top of the head.
I do not have this problem, YET...
Just grow ur hair out. No more buckle problem

'Dreamwear comes with too many sizes' Ok...
