Now that the ResMed AirFit F30 has been released, let’s compare this new full face mask to its predecessor the AirFit F20.

Cushion
The most significant difference between the two masks is the cushion. The new F30 cushion seals around your nostrils as opposed to more traditional full face masks which seal around your nose. The beauty of this is that there is no chance of red pressure marks on the bridge of your nose when using the AirFit F30.

Headgear
The ResMed AirFit F20 mask is made of a soft fabric material. It is easily adjustable and has magnetic clips to make ease of taking your mask on and off.
The new full face mask by ResMed, the AirFit F30 mask has all of these features and then some. While still utilising the same soft fabric and magnetic clips, the F30 also has multiple adjustment points; two at each side, and one at the top of the head. This design works well to to ensure you get a proper and fitted seal.

Dear Bearded Andrew,
Lovely video. Good demo BUT you didn’t mention any price deals
Haha, Hi Colin. $199. https://sleepright.com.au/cpap-masks/resmed-airfit-f30-mask
After 3 months being determined to adapt to CPap and trying 4 other masks including the F-20………I was ready to quit. Then the F-30 became available. It has been the best and most adaptable Mask and now I am set and satisfied. Don’t quit without trying that one.
I had nothing but trouble with the F30 and was so disappointed. Had to go back to the F20. Insurance is being a butt about headgear and my F20 is wearing out. Can I use the F30 Headgear with my F20 mask?
Laura, when did you purchase. masks have 30 day money back on them. Generally speaking, no, the headgear’s are not compatible, but it may work.
Are the elbows interchangeable between the 20 and 30…I bought the 30 thinking it was going to fit into the shell of 20, but it won’t snap in, so it’s looking like a must purchase a whole new shell for the 30, and this is where I was wondering i can still use the same elbow?
Hi Deb, the only part that they share is the elbow. I’d advise getting the headgear as well as the frame as they are different too.
What are the best masks recommended for claustrophobia?
I’ve tried nasal masks but still find that they cause anxiety in the beginning. Would an f20 or f30 be as restrictive as they seem to offer more “space” even though they cover the mouth?
Harry, I tend to lean towards the smaller masks when it comes to claustrophobia issues.
Does the F30 connect to the tubing (with Humidex) on the Air Mini?
Hi Gus, just checked and it does not
I use a ResMed F30 Medium size
I’m thinking about ordering a F20
Mask do I still order a Medium????
Hi Kenneth, if you send me a picture of your face to info@sleepright.com.au I’ll confirm sizing.
