ResMed AirFit N30i ResMed AirFit N30
Tubing & Frame:
One of the major differences between the AirFit N30 and the AirFit N30i is the tubing location. This factor is one that will likely influence your decision on whether to try the N30 or the N30i. The AirFit N30i tubing is located at the top of the mask. This makes it a great option for stomach sleepers as throughout the night the tubing sits up and away from the face. The AirFit N30’s tubing sits out the front of the mask. This design is quite traditional for CPAP masks and provides a wide range of movement.
Headgear:
The two headgear products are different in style but both feature soft, lightweight fabric. The AirFit N30 headgear has a clip at the side so you can make minor adjustments to the fit.
The AirFit N30i has velcro to adjust it’s sizing and is reinforced for durability.
Cushion:
The AirFit N30 cushion has been similarly constructed to reflect the AirFit N30i cushion.
Both feature a curved design that contours the nose to create an effective seal. The soft silicone used in the creation of the cushion provides ample comfort.
Compatibility:
These two masks are compatible with all current CPAP machines excluding the ResMed AirMini.
Overall both masks offer comfort and simplicity first. To purchase the ResMed AirFit N30, Click here. To purchase the ResMed AirFit N30i, Click here.
Good morning
Which would be a better mask for a claustrophobic person?
Natasha, I think any of the masks with as little going on as possible is the way to go. I lean towards the P10 for these instances.
Which mask is better for a side to side sleeper, N30 or N30i ?
Can you answer the last question please as I would like to know too. I’m a side sleeper and currently use a P10 mask but it’s caused a sore patch inside one nostril. I’m considering the N30i as I like the idea of the tube on top of my head. But I wonder if it’s suitable for a side sleeper?
Hi Judy, Its one of those things where you would need to try it.
Having the tube on the top of my head as been a dream come true for me. I am a cpap user for over 10 years and I can turn over and all will swivel to compensate
I’m interested in knowing where the air vents? Does it vent at the top as well, or is it still in the front?
Hi Anthony, vents at both points
I have been using the N30i for a week now and love the fit and top tubing, but it is so loud when inhaling that I am giving up on it. My pressure setting is at 10 so if you have lower pressure requirement you might have better luck.
