In this blog post we ae going to explain the difference between the ResMed AirFit P30i and the ResMed AirFit N30i.
Firstly we will explain the similarities. The headgear, strap and elbow connection point are the same with the two masks. The difference between the two masks is in the cushion.
The P30 (pillow) will make a seal inside your nostrils, whereas the N30 will make a seal underneath your nostrils.
The beauty of this mask is that the P30 and N30 cushions are interchangeable. So if you’re already on a P30i or an N30i, you can use the other cushion with the other frame and headgear.
So in summary, the difference between the ResMed AirFit P30i and the N30i is in the cushion. P30 inside the nostrils, N30 a little cradle that sits underneath the nostrils.

of the P30 and N30 which provides the better seal in terms of breathing and not having air leak?
Adrian, I would lean more towards the P30 for seal. As a technician, I have found the pillows seem to seal better than the slits, but I haven’t road tested them myself. Perhaps a good question for the facebook group.
Is there any way to adapt an N30i mask with a Humidx system? I have the Zephair adaptor that enables me to use the mast with my Res Med Air Mini, but would love to know if there is any humidity system that would be compatible. Thanks.
Unfortunately not Kristi.
? Everyones nose and face is different. So one can’t generalize. It’s nice having a low cost option to change out.
