The newest addition to the palette of high quality and innovative full face masks by ResMed is represented by the AirFit F30 Full Face mask. ResMed is a world-leading provider of CPAP masks and oxygen therapy equipment and accessories. The company continuously strives to offer the best quality products, placing a huge focus on patient compliance and comfort. AirFit F30 is a full face mask that promises to reduce facial red marks and irritations. Patients who use full face masks generally need to put up with nasal bridge sores, facial red marks, and other such inconveniences.
The AirFit F30 not only promises but also delivers the best of comfort packed in a minimalistic looking product. According to the company, the mask also allows patients to wear glasses comfortably while wearing their mask. This way, users can read their newspaper, work on the laptop or watch TV, all the while receiving required therapy. AirFit F30 is an ultra-comfortable, low profile mask that helps even first-time therapy users become quickly compliant with required therapy.
Most patients who breathe through their mouth are recommended the use of a full face mask. These masks help them get the required therapy even while their jaw drops, and their mouth opens. One of the biggest problems is that full facemask wearers struggle quite often with feelings of claustrophobia. This is given the fact that their mask is heavy, bulky and feels quite tight to the skin. AirFit F30 is designed so as to completely eliminate these problems. Patients will no more get claustrophobic feelings because the mask is ultra-light, flexible and provides the perfect seal without causing irritations or red marks on the skin.
What studies show about the AirFit F30 Full Face Mask
During the months of April/ May 2018, ResMed conducted a clinical study on Australian patients. In this study, they compared several masks including the AirFit F30 and Amara View full face mask by Philips Respironics. The results showed that approximately 80% of the patients preferred using the AirFit F30 full face mask, for its ease of use, comfort, and therapeutic efficiency.
Then, a Fitting Study conducted by ResMed this year shows that 60%+ of the patients reported that ResMed AirFit F30 had a much better fit and a more comfortable seal when compared to other product within the study which was the Amara View full face mask by Philips Respironics. Here’s and Airfit F30 review of the features.
– Extremely quiet full face mask- only 21dBA (Most high quality, full face masks on the market have noise levels of approximately 35-26dBA)
– The 75-patient study conducted by ResMed showed that AirFit F30 fits up to 93% of the patients from first try. The mask comes with only 2 cushion sizes and a universal, flexible headgear
– Ease of use. Quietness. Great stability. Perfect seal. These are only a few of the main highlights of the new AirFit F30 full face mask.
Top Performance. Minimal Contact Full Face Mask
AirFit F30 is a truly minimal contact full face mask. It comes in contact with your skin in critical points only, yet it maintains a perfect seal and offers you the best of comfort all throughout required therapy.
Best Highlights & Features
- Universal Headgear- AirFit F30 comes with a universal headgear, one size fits all. The headgear is manufactured of a highly durable yet flexible material. Thanks to this flexibility, the mask fits perfectly patients even from the first try. The innovative headgear follows naturally the individual contours and facial structure of the user.
- QuietAir Ventilation System- Most full face mask have a universal ventilation system. The air comes out through this vent system, and quite often the noise will wake up the user and even the bed partner. ResMed comes with an innovative addition to the AirFit F30 full face mask. The QuietAir Vent system will basically break up the exhaled air and then disperse it in the smoothest and quietest possible manner. Thanks to this, AirFit F30 is one of the quietest full face masks available on the market. With a quiet ambient noise, both the parent and the bed partner can enjoy a restful night of sleep.
- Quick Release Elbow- patients can disconnect the mask from the tubing with one single click. This is especially helpful when patients need to visit the bathroom during the night. Simply disconnect the mask, and then reconnect it with the help of the quick release elbow. No need to take off the mask, but simply detach it from the tubing for the time needed.
- UltraCompact Cushion- The innovative cushion of the AirFit F30 provides the most secure seal and a comfortable wear. The cushion helps to prevent red marks and irritation around the bridge of the nose. The cushion is very comfortable and soft yet providing a truly stable and secure seal.
AirFit F30 is a full face mask with a minimalistic feel and an extremely modern design. Patients will become extremely fast compliant with their therapy, thanks to the great comfort and security features offered by the mask. Patients can finally enjoy a restful and quiet night of sleep so that they can wake up feeling energized and ready to undertake their daily tasks. Masks that cause problems such as irritations on the skin, uncomfortable feelings, claustrophobia or a weak seal will make patients wake up several times during the night, and not being able to wake up refreshed and energized in the mornings.
Choose your full face CPAP mask carefully. There are plenty of offers on the market, but it is highly important that you find one that fits you on an individual level. You need to ensure that the mask feels comfortable first of all. Then, you need to ensure that the mask provides a good seal, without having to make too many adjustments. Last but not least, the perfect full face masks feels light on your face and allows you to fall asleep without feelings of claustrophobia. AirFit F30 by ResMed not only promises but also delivers on all these factors.

I just tried the f30 mask and found it was comfortable until the air was turned on. It obstructed my nose when the air hit it

I really like the Resmed F30 mask compared to all others, but lately I have been constantly awakened when the bottom of the mask gets into my mouth. I have tried every imaginable combination of adjustments for the straps and cannot get it right. Any suggestions?
Charles Goldberg
Sounds like the mask may be a size to large for you. You may want to see if you were measured correctly for the first mask.

Looking for a ResMed F 30 with memory foam

I have been a cpap user for many years and tried lots of RES MED masks and headgear and recently changed from F20 to F30 and cannot get a comfortable nights sleep in this mask. If i try to get the head gear comfortable the mask leaks and with no leaks the headgear has to be so tight that it bites into the back of my neck and i wake up with a terrible headache and a terrible dry mouth and sore nose and this is with a humidifier and heated hose.
The most comfortable combination for me over the years is the F20 MASK USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH F10 HEADGEAR AS THE F20 HEADGEAR STICHING CUTS INTO THE THE BACK OF MY NECK .

Switched from an F20 to F30. AHI increased, so did the leaks and the mask requires readjusting throughout the night.
My DME fitted the mask in their office but that was with me sitting in a chair. Works fine as long as you don’t have to lay down to sleep. Doesn’t seem to be very durable. I seen reviews where people have commented that the silicone tears easily. It’s more comfortable than the F20 but that’s about the only positive thing I can think of.
Charles Goldberg
I would suggest that you adjust the headgear in different ways and see if that helps. I believe that may be your problem. Please remember NOT to make the CPAP mask to tight as it should feel comfortable and once the CPAP machine is turnes on the cushion will secure to your face.

I’m a week into trying this mask. I’m struggling with leaks and dry mouth. I’ve loosened and I’ve tightened and the “advantages” of the F30 mask – good for mouth breathers, side sleepers, and claustrophobics – are not adding up to being advantages. Yet! My problem is that the movement of the mask on my face is waking me up more than my untreated apnea. Not sure it’s the right mask for me!

The only way I could give you an accurate answer to this question is to download your data card and see what is going on. My guess would be that while sleeping you are having terrible leaks and you are just not aware of it or the mask is not the correct size. Which would be my guess. If the mask is fitting you correctly there would not be a differential between your events on the two different mask.
