AirFit™ F30 CPAP Mask Review
The CPAP manufacturer, ResMed is out with a brand new full-face CPAP mask that many are calling "ground-breaking" and a “game-changer”! The AirFit™ F30 launched first across Canada in late 2018. It will be available in the United States and other select countries in 2019. The F30 is the little brother to the super-popular AirFit™ F20 and ResMed is putting a lot of faith in this Sleep Apnea mask - and for good reasons.
The F30 lower profile CPAP mask is not just smaller, it’s completely redesigned. It sits lower on the face, with an ultra-compact nasal cushion that covers just the tip of the nose to the bottom lip. The cushion style claims to provide a secure fit and a perfect seal.
Forget the days of clunky masks that go from your chin to the bridge of your nose, blocking your view and leaving you with irritation, straplines and redness in the morning. The soft, flexible frame and buttery-soft nasal padding keep your nose from getting squished as you sleep.
When compared to top leading minimal contact CPAP masks available on the market, up to 80% of the users in a clinical study reported that AirFit™ F30 was much easier to use than other leading masks. Up to 60% of the patients reported that they have experienced a more stable fit and a more reliable seal with the AirFit™ F30.
Based on published performance studies, the AirFit™ F30 is a third quieter than other leading Sleep Apnea masks (Imagine a whisper or rustling leaves compared to the sound of a humming refrigerator).
An improved venting system called Quiet Air Vent System on the F30 has been designed to disperse exhaled air smoothly and evenly instead of jetting it out (as some masks do) making for a much quieter mask that helps keep bed partners sleeping quietly too.
The AirFit™ F30 is a beautiful creation. It's lightweight, modern, minimalist and has truly been redesigned. It has piqued many user's interests to see if it's worthy of all the hype.

Why Do Full Face CPAP Masks Have A Bad Reputation?
There is a stigma when people think of full face CPAP masks. Many think they're ugly, bulky, intrusive and the thought of wearing one to bed sounds impossible. However, full face masks are the Holy Grail for many CPAP users; they are designed with specific features and benefits that have made them a go-to mask for millions in the CPAP community.
How Does A Full Face Mask Differ From Other CPAP Masks?
So, what makes a full face CPAP mask different than the others? A full-face mask covers the nose and the mouth - like an oxygen mask you might see a fighter pilot wear, but nicer - with straps that are worn over the head with headgear holding it in place. It sounds uncomfortable, but they've made them pretty form-fitting and soft now.
By highlighting the pros of full face masks and giving it a well-deserved spotlight, we hope to break the stigma of how the general public feels about this often demonized and incredibly well-designed CPAP mask.
Advantages Of A Full Face Mask For CPAP Therapy
Below is a list of the top advantages that we feel CPAP users will receive by choosing a full face CPAP mask over other styles.
1) It's stable & secure: Full face masks tend to be a bit larger, heavier and have more material (straps and thicker headgear) than, say, a nasal pillow style mask. These CPAP masks cover more of the face which results in better pressure when compared to their nasal or nasal pillow style counterparts. It is an excellent choice for restless or back sleepers - the straps tighten well and offer support to keep their masks in place in different positions at night.
2) Mouth breathers or nasal obstructions: Full face-style masks are an excellent choice for natural mouth breathers or those who suffer from nasal obstruction or congestion. This style of a mask allows you to get the Sleep Apnea therapy you require either breathing through your mouth or nose. This is also a great style of mask for those who suffer from cold or flu symptoms. No need to lose good sleep, when your nose is stuffed and you need it the most.
3) Tolerable with higher CPAP pressures: Full face CPAP masks cover more of the face, therefore allowing high pressures to be more tolerable by CPAP users. The full face mask offers more surface area for the air to move around before entering the airways making the pressure less direct and more comfortable. These masks are beneficial for restless sleepers and popular with users who like to sleep on their backs.
4) Facial hair: Got a beard? This style of CPAP mask is popular with users who have facial hair, specifically those who sport a full mustache or a thicker beard. Facial hair can prevent a good seal because the cushion cannot grip the face properly, resulting in leaks and a frustrated user. The full-face style fits tightly around the nasal bridge and the chin providing a better air seal.
While there are many notable benefits of a full face-style mask, it is not for everyone. All full face masks are not made equal and manufacturers use various materials that may work for one person and not the next. Remember to do your research, ask questions and try on a sample if possible. Spend at least as much time trying on CPAP masks as you would buying a new pair of jeans!
