Brevida Nasal Pillow Mask with Headgear
The Fisher & Paykel Brevida Nasal Pillow Mask is as simple and easy to use as it looks. This lightweight nasal pillow CPAP mask is built for comfort with a unique inflatable AirPillow design. The AirPillow cushion offers a remarkable seal not only inside the nostrils but also around the nose.
If you're unsure about your size, the Brevida has you covered with nasal cushions in Extra Small-Small and Medium-Large. To make mask use even simpler, the Brevida uses VisiBlue - blue color coding - to highlight the point of connection.
AirPillow Cushion Seal
Unlike nasal cushions, which cup the nose, nasal pillows fit underneath and funnel air into your nose. Fisher & Paykel improved the nasal pillow design with the AirPillow cushion.
The AirPillow creates a one-of-a-kind seal with a triangular cushion that extends from the tip of the nose, down the sides, and over the upper lip. This unique shape creates a seal in and around the nose when the cushion inflates. Other nasal pillow masks seal directly in the nostrils, leaving the sides of the nose bare.
All-Size Cushions Included
Most CPAP masks on the market require you to use their sizing guides, and those can be confusing. Fisher & Paykel go against the grain by reducing confusion made by complicated sizing guides.
To accommodate most facial structures, the Brevida conveniently comes with two double-size AirPillows. One cushion is sized to fit Extra Small-Small and the other is sized to fit Medium-Large. You can try on the cushions in the comfort of your home and purchase replacement cushions in your best size.
Adjustable Headgear
The Brevida headgear is adjustable, durable, and lightweight. It consists of a soft, dual-strap band attached to thicker headgear straps that are connected to two plastic headgear clips. This headgear is easy to maintain and even easier to adjust.
The headgear is equipped with velcro tabs that loop through the clips for a secure and comfortable fit. Simply tighten or loosen the velcro tabs for a perfect seal that lasts all night.
Washable Diffuser
The washable diffuser reduces noise and gently directs air away from you and your bed partner. Its washable design makes it cost-effective and easy to maintain.
The diffuser can be removed from the front of the mask. Gently unclip the plastic diffuser piece from the elbow for weekly cleaning. Don't forget to clip it back on before using your CPAP or you'll be surprised at how loud your mask is.

Tips to Assemble the Brevida
Push the nasal pillow cushion into the opening in the middle of the mask frame. You will hear a click when the cushion is fully pushed in. Loop the ends of the headgear through the clips; close the loops by attaching the velcro to the headgear. Attach the headgear clips to the mask frame.
Now, snap the diffuser onto the mask elbow. Push the swivel onto the short tube and push your CPAP hose onto the swivel to connect the Brevida to your machine. Pair one end of the CPAP hose to the swivel and the other to the CPAP machine.
Tips to Disassemble the Brevida
Remove the headgear from the mask by unhooking the clips from the sides of the mask. Undo the velcro tabs on the headgear to remove the clips from the headgear. Detach the nasal pillow cushion from the mask frame and unclip the diffuser from the elbow. Finally, pull the swivel off the short tube.
The swivel can sometimes get stuck in the CPAP hose. If you cannot find your swivel after removing the Brevida from your CPAP hose, please check the inside of your CPAP hose.
Tips for Cleaning the Mask Components
For the Cushion, Short Tube, and Swivel – wash daily in warm water with mild soap. Do not soak the parts for more than 10 minutes. Rinse with running water until all soap residue is gone and allow the components to air dry away from direct sunlight.
For the Headgear and Diffuser – wash weekly in warm water with mild soap. Do not soak the parts for more than 10 minutes. Rinse with running water until all soap residue is gone and allow the components to air dry away from direct sunlight.
FAQ
Can I use the Brevida Nasal Pillow CPAP Mask with all CPAP machines?
Yes, you can use the Brevida with all CPAP machines with the exception of the ResMed AirMini. The Brevida can be connected to all tubing with a standard 22mm connector cuff.
Will the Brevida Nasal Pillow CPAP Mask cover only my nose or nose and mouth?
The Brevida is a nasal pillow mask with a modified nasal pillow design. The AirPillow cushion seals in and around the nose. It does not cover the mouth.
Is the Pillow Cushion in the Brevida replaceable?
Yes, the pillow cushion is replaceable, and you can use a cushion of either size with the same mask frame. The headgear can be replaced, as well.
If I'm a side sleeper, can I use the Brevida?
Yes, the Brevida is a great choice for side sleepers who struggle with an air leak from the sides of the nose. The AirPillow is designed to minimize mask leaks from the sides.
I have a mustache; can I use the Brevida Nasal Pillow CPAP Mask?
Facial hair does present a challenge to CPAP masks. However, the Brevida does a better job than other masks thanks to its unique pillow cushion style.
Recommended If You Have Facial Hair
Nasal Pillow masks do not anchor to the lower lip and are an easy solution for beard lovers. With its lightweight frame and unique AirPillow design, Fisher & Paykel's Brevida is a great choice for those with facial hair.
If you’re having trouble with your mask fit, refer to the fitting guide to help you get that perfect seal. An improperly worn mask results in leaks, frustration, and discomfort.
Daily cleaning: cushion, frame, short tubing, elbow, swivel
- Disassemble the mask.
- Soak all parts in warm water with mild soap for up to ten minutes. Avoid scrubbing the diffuser.
- Rinse each part thoroughly under running water, squeezing out excess water from the headgear and frame sleeves.
- Air dry all parts away from direct sunlight.
- Gently pull the mask away from your face and then release it, allowing the tips of the nasal pillows to inflate and settle comfortably inside your nose.
- Check your cushion to make sure the two nasal pillow openings are not inverted into the cushion.
- Make sure to clean both your mask cushion and your face, as facial oils can interfere with the seal.
- Ensure you're wearing your Brevida Nasal Pillow Mask according to the fitting instructions in the user guide or the F&P myMask™ app. The way you put on the mask significantly impacts the seal.
- Adjust your headgear as necessary.
- Try a larger or smaller cushion size.
- Replace any worn out mask parts.
If your CPAP mask still leaks after following all those troubleshooting steps, a different mask style may be a better option. Feel free to contact RespShop for assistance in choosing a different mask.
The silicone cushion, however, may need to be replaced more frequently, typically every 2 to 3 months. Silicone naturally softens over time, which can affect its ability to create a good seal.

No we will still carry the mask, we run promo's time to time. Glad to hear you have found a mask that really works well for you.
I did use "ALOHA" nasal mask but Brevida is more comfortable and the air inflating silicon cushion do not let loose air of your nostrils . I loved it , my wife too, because no air blows in her face and is VERY quiet . Definitely recommend it . All other masks cost $100 an more , for $65 this comfy product is a still !!!
I would like to go ahead and endorse the Brevida mask. This mask is a decent mask worth its price. My old mask was too small and didnt' seal well. The Brevida mask seals well because of the nasal pillow and works well for me. The inserts are comfortable and work so well. The inflating mechanics makes it so the seal is much better than most other masks without sacrificing the comfort.
I like the split strap headgear because it fits snugly to the sides of my head and I don't have to adjust it at night. I haven't had any troubles with loose mask or air leaking like I've experienced with some other masks.
My wife has told me repeatedly after switching to continue using the Brevida mask because she "Can sleep much better without the air blowing into her face all the time!" And of course, anything to make the wife happy :) I won't be going back to my old mask.
I have experience trying a multitude of different masks: full face masks, nasal masks, nasal pillow masks, you name it. This Fisher and Paykel Brevida mask is the mask that never fails me. I very highly recommend it especially if you're new and looking for a mask.
My nose gets irritated easily and this is the only mask that doesn't irritate my nostrils. The nasal pillows were engineered to be very comfortable. I am very impressed with the technology behind it. On top of that I have never noticed leaks so far (~3 weeks of using this mask so far).
I have also been surprised and impressed by how consistently it did NOT leave marks on my face in the morning. Many masks tend to advertise this, and this is one of the few that actually follows through. I haven't noticed any noticeable marks on my skin in the morning from using this mask.
I also get a large field of vision compared to some other masks, which is always a plus.
Very happy customer. Thank you very much.
Fits nicely! Easier to use than nasal pillows and quieter
l find the design of gear is not comfortable to me. When I trun position, I always wake up because of leaking with the gear slips its position.

I do love that this mask is very quiet and fits the nose area well, but, it is very hard on the sides of the face and makes marks in the morning that I am afraid will be permanent over time. I don't understand why these masks cannot be made with a woman's skin in mind. The other ones I had were OK on the face, but were noisy and air seemed to leak out of the sides from time to time. I don't know what to do.
Thank you for your response! I would suggest Mask Wraps which I love as they really help with marks. Item 1116754 Mask Wrap

I ordered this Fisher and Paykel mask to replace one that had various issues. Unfortunately, as soon as I put this one on I knew it wasn't the mask for me. Although I liked the strength of the straps, the strange design of the actual nasal pillow did not allow it to conform to my nose, and a lot of air was displaced. I tried both of the included pillows with no luck. I've just ordered another replacement mask. I cannot recommend this one for anyone, although of course it may fit your nose perfectly.
Thank you for your review. I also have this mask and I like the way the Silicon cushion seals up around my nose. I find it very comfortable and stable. Have had no leak issues so far!
