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.

A Deep-Dive into the AirFit N30i CPAP Mask
Finally, a mask made for sleepers in all positions.
Hate wearing your CPAP because you love sleeping on your stomach? Not to worry, Resmed just came out with the latest AirFit series, the AirFit N30i Nasal CPAP Mask. Is this a nasal or nasal pillow mask, you ask? Resmed introduces it as a Nasal Cradle Mask. Instead of covering your entire nose like a traditional nasal mask, the AirFit N30i sits discreetly under your nose and not in it as the average nasal pillows mask. The tube connector is designed to be on the top of your head which provides freedom for users to sleep in many positions. Since the nasal cradle cushion sits comfortably under the nose rather than over the nasal bridge, this mask is designed for side or stomach sleepers.
Let us answer some of your FAQs!
How many sizes does it come in?
The AirFit N30i comes in two different size starter pack, the Small and the Standard. Most of our female clientele use the small size whereas the male population fits into the standard size. Both sizes are sold as fitpacks coming with small, medium and small-wide nasal cradles cushions. There's an option of purchasing a medium-wide cushion separately if you require additional sizing.
How stable is the mask?
The AirFit N30i SpringFit frame is designed to be very stable and create a personalized fit. The nasal cradle is slightly curved so that it follows the natural curve of your nose tip for a perfect fit. You can also adjust the back strap to make sure the mask does not move around at night.
Is it going to irritate or leave marks on my cheeks?
You can use the soft wraps included in the package to cover the sides, which creates a barrier between the silicone and your cheeks to provide extra comfort. The soft wraps will also prevent you from waking up with those stubborn marks on your cheeks as well!
How do I buy this mask?
Great question! The AirFit N30i is available across Canada in CPAP retailers or online for the best value. Place your order on our website CPAPmachines.ca and see if free this mask qualifies for free shipping for your order.
