ResMed AirFit F30i Review | Full Face Mask Review

The ResMed AirFit F30i is often praised for several reasons that make it a popular choice among users requiring continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy for conditions like sleep apnea. Here are some key features that contribute to its favorable reception:

Top-of-head tube design: This design feature allows the hose to connect at the top of the head, which can provide more freedom of movement during sleep. It's particularly beneficial for those who tend to move around a lot in their sleep.

Minimal contact design: The mask covers less of the face compared to traditional full face masks. It fits comfortably over the mouth and under the nose, which helps reduce feelings of claustrophobia and leaves the line of sight unobstructed. This makes it easier for users to read or watch TV before falling asleep.

Quiet operation: The AirFit F30i is designed to operate quietly, enhancing comfort for both the wearer and their bed partner. A quieter mask can improve sleep quality by reducing disturbances.

Seal and stability: The cushion technology used in the AirFit F30i is designed to adapt to the user’s movements, maintaining a secure and effective seal. This reduces the likelihood of air leaks, which can diminish the effectiveness of CPAP therapy and disrupt sleep.

Ease of use and fitting: The mask includes magnetic clips and a quick-release elbow, making it easy to put on, take off, and disconnect from the CPAP machine as needed, without having to remove the entire mask. This can be very convenient for users needing to get up during the night.

Comfort: With a silicone cushion and a frame that includes integrated padding, the AirFit F30i prioritizes user comfort, which can help users adapt to and continue CPAP therapy more effectively.

I just started using the F30i and found that I absolutely love it. It fit very well and does not leak air like my first mask. I am able to sleep better and more comfortably. I love the 360 headgear, due to me having a bad back I turn on my back and side to side very often. Thank God that I no longer have to spend half of the night pulling and tugging trying to get the mask to fit properly.

A quick clip at the top of the Mask (not mentioned) allows you to disconnect the air quickly if you need to stand up

First of all I used Dreamware Nasal pillow masks but found they were irritating my nostrils. I then bought an F40 which was fabulous but I was worried about the magnets with my defibrillator and I found out about the F30i non magnetic mask . I am a side sleeper and read myself to sleep wearing glasses so this mask has been ideal for me . I now have two of them for use when one is being cleaned This mask coupled with a Resmed Air Sense 11 Autoset are as good as it gets for me .

I use this mask for a week. I didn't have a noticable problem yet. The mask is comfortable. The hissing sound comes when I turn on my sides. I think one of the air ways at both sides pressed and the sound starts. Also I worry about that if one side of the air passages squeezed can the air come enough still? My only worry about this mask is this question.

Hi i'm trying to get used to my 30 i but I have questions. With a resmed nasal mask, I typically have very few events at night. I have noticed since using the 30i, I'm going from less than one event to 5 and 6 events. I'm not sure if its just the machine registering the new mask or if I'm actually having more events. I use a pressure of you

This is a very comfortable mask that seems to seal well, but the vent on the mask seems to blast air out that is a bit worrying. When I do a mask fit test, it seals well but my AirMed scores indicate an extremely leaky mask. I am a slide sleeper. Any suggestions?

I guess the design of a very soft mak precludes a top fed version, right?

There is a leak on my gear where the tube attaches to the frame at the top. My doc said it was supposed to leak there? Thank you!

[Terri_Swift]

Can you recommend a mask for tummy sleepers?

[leftydrummer]

With either of those masks do you have seal problems with facial hair?

[tjsage]

Too bad they don't make a ResMed f40I with the same type of 'headtube'. I would think that will be the next option IMHO

I found the F30i poorly made and for me leaks regardless of adjustments. Not nearly the quality of the Phillips Dreamwear mask, in my opinion

[elizabethstille]

This is no different from my Dreamwear mask!

[manny]

using that style of mask I would develop a scab right under my nose! 👃

It's trash mask. The tiny thin clips break off easily changing mask from headgear. The need to be made sturdier like Dreamweaver headgear clips. I would not recommend buying until this issue is fixed.
