Two Headgear Options

Have two lightweight and easy-to-adjust headgear options in one neat package: the Stretchwise Headgear for a quick fit and the Adjustable Headgear for a more solid fit.

AirPillow™ Seal

Experience leak-free performance each night of CPAP therapy. Designed to move with you, the Pilairo Q nasal pillow cushion conforms to the nose for a gentle and consistent seal.

One-Size-Fits-All

Both headgear options and the AirPillow cushion are conveniently one-size-fits-all. The absence of multiple sizes takes the guesswork out of mask fitting, helping you achieve better sleep right away.

Low-Profile Frame

Enjoy a clear line of sight as you unwind before bed. Apart from being compatible with both headgear options, the lightweight Easy Frame offers an open field of view, so you can watch TV or read in bed.

Quiet, Powerful Performance

Included with the Pilairo Q are 5 Q Covers. These removable diffusers disperse airflow to reduce noise and draft. Plus, they don’t need to be washed — you only have to replace them every 2 to 3 months.

Freedom to Move

Ensure a stable seal as you move during sleep. The short flexible tube with a ball-and-socket elbow enables a wider range of movement and keeps your CPAP hose out of the way as you toss and turn.

Pilairo Q Nasal Pillow CPAP Mask by Fisher & Paykel

Designed with user comfort and compatibility in mind, the Fisher & Paykel Pilairo Q Nasal Pillow Mask is one of the lightest and easiest to assemble CPAP masks available. With only three major parts, the Fisher & Paykel Pilairo Q is easy to maintain and even simpler to fit.

AirPillow Seal
The Pilairo Q’s nasal pillow cushion - called the AirPillow Seal - is designed to move with you, allowing you to change positions without worrying about air leaks. The AirPillow Seal inflates with pressure from your CPAP machine and creates a double seal in and around the nose.

Fisher & Paykel designed the AirPillow Seal to be one-size-fits-all. Fitting the Pilairo Q is as easy as spreading the side wings of the nasal pillow cushion and placing the cushion into your nose. Then secure the headgear of your choice and let your CPAP machine inflate the AirPillow Seal for a snug yet gentle fit.

Two Headgear Options
The Pilairo Q Nasal Pillow CPAP Mask is available with two headgear options for maximum comfort. Users can choose from the extremely lightweight Stretchable Headgear or the Adjustable Headgear for a more solid fit.

The Stretchwise Headgear consists of an elastic strap that rests on the back of the head. The Adjustable Headgear consists of three adjustment points - one on the crown of the head and two on the sides of the face. This multipoint design allows for a more stable and customized fit which active sleepers may prefer.

Both types of headgear are designed with minimal straps and an optimal number of adjustment points. Both connect to the same mask frame.

These two headgear options allow the Fisher & Paykel Pilairo Q to fit a wide range of head sizes and facial structures. The absence of multiple headgear and nasal pillow sizes takes the guesswork out of mask fitting so you don’t have to keep going back to the drawing board.

Quiet, Powerful Performance
The Pilairo Q represents an innovation in quiet technology. Fisher & Paykel added a replaceable diffuser to the front of the mask which disperses airflow to reduce noise and draft. The diffuser sits in the front of the mask, under a removable plastic Q Cover.

The mask can be worn with and without the diffuser. However, the diffuser should be replaced every 2 to 3 months to control bacterial growth. Replacing it regularly also ensures the Pilairo Q continues to operate as quietly as it's designed to.

Keeping with the Pilairo Q's focus on compatibility and ease of use, Fisher & Paykel has made the diffuser replaceable, eliminating another part you'd have to clean regularly. Five replacement diffusers come with the Pilairo Q Nasal Pillow CPAP Mask.

FAQ

How do I know what size I need?
The Fisher & Paykel Pilairo Q Nasal Pillow Mask comes in one size that is designed to fit most CPAP users comfortably. Two different types of headgear come with the mask so you can choose the most comfortable style.

Are there a lot of parts that require cleaning and regular maintenance?
The Pilairo Q Nasal Pillow Mask comes with only 3 parts that require cleaning and maintenance: the frame, nasal pillow cushion, and headgear. The mask is easy to disassemble and put back together. Please refer to the user manual for detailed instructions.

Is the mask loud?
The Pilairo Q is designed specifically to ensure that airflow is directed away from the user and bed partner. This reduces noise and minimizes any disturbances. The Q stands for quiet.

I sleep with my mouth open. Is this a good CPAP mask for me?
Yes and no. You can use the Pilairo Q Nasal Pillow Mask even if you breathe through your mouth at night. However, you will need a chin strap to help keep your mouth closed so the pressure from your CPAP machine doesn’t rush out through your open mouth.

That said, some people prefer to sleep without a chin strap. If your mouth tends to fall open at night and you would prefer not to use a chin strap, then the Pilairo Q isn’t for you. We recommend trying one of our full face masks instead.

How do I clean my F&P Pilairo Q Nasal Pillow Mask?

Weekly cleaning: headgear
Daily cleaning: cushion, frame, short tubing, elbow, swivel
Every 2 to 3 months: replace diffuser

Disassemble the mask.
Soak all parts in warm water with mild soap for up to ten minutes.
Rinse each part thoroughly under running water, squeezing out excess water from the headgear.
Air dry all parts away from direct sunlight.

The diffuser is not washable and should be replaced every 2 to 3 months or when the mask becomes noisy.

My F&P Pilairo Q mask is leaking. What should I do?

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 Pilairo Q Nasal Pillow Mask according to the fitting instructions in the user guide. 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.

How often should I replace the F&P Pilairo Q Nasal Pillow Mask?

To maintain the best fit and seal for your CPAP therapy, we recommend replacing the entire mask, including the headgear and frame, every 6 months.

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.

I used the old Pilairo for a few years and it worked fine. It started showing some aging though and I figured I would just start anew instead of having to replace every component eventually. Decided to stick with FP and try the new Pilairo, especially since I saw other positive reviews from old Pialiro users. Well I’ve had this for a few weeks now and I’m inclined to agree, it’s a great upgrade/progeny of the original.

The hybrid pillow/cushion of the old Pilairo was great and the new one continues that trend. It disitributes the pressure well so it feels light and comfortable. Also really quiet, substantial improvement from the old version in that regard. It uses a little diffuser filter to do that. They do seem like they should be replaced intermittently however, but you can also just choose to do without them. Like the old Pilairo, the cushion is one singular size and inflates around your nose when you turn on the air. I’m on the bigger size but I find that it fits excellently, so I think the one size fits all thing might actually hold up.

Also the headgear is comfortable. Not a huge improvement in this area but that’s because the old Pilairo was already really comfortable. It’s light and fits well, plus the package comes with two frame types. One of them you just adjust like normal, the other stretches itself. I use the normal adjustable one and it’s good.

Subject: Better than the old one. Definitely worth upgrading.
I used to use the old version of this but I can say with confidence that this one's better if you're looking to upgrade. The old one used to blow a lot of cold air onto my wife, which she hated. Glad I'm not having that problem anymore after getting this new version.
F&P really outdid themselves because they knew exactly what to fix. The comfort of this mask is just like my old mask. Also, it's very quiet too. Not to mention easy to clean and reliable as always. My old mask lasted me about 10 years. I think this one will be sticking with me for just as long. The frame is sturdy even though it's light.

I’ve been around the block, used nasal pillows, nasal cushions, and full face cushions. Pillows have been the most comfortable for me and I’ve been using a pillow mask for the past year, but I had some issues with slippage. As such I wanted to look for something that had the basic design of a pillow but with a little extra support to hold on. The Plairo fit that bill and it’s definitely lived up to my lofty expectations.

What’s so good about it? Well for one, it’s comfortable. Doesn’t feel heavy at all and cradles my noggin well, which is what I ask of a mask. But the real star of the show is the cushion. Instead of being your standard bar with two prongs that normal pillows are, this mask has a kind of winged frame around it that grips your nose. It really does hold on well and I haven’t had the slipping issues I had with my old pillow. Interestingly, there’s no sizing for the pillow as it’s supposedly one size fits all. I didn’t have any issues with the sizing but I can’t speak for other people, so that might be something to watch out for. The seal of the cushion is to par too, no problems with leaks. Very good mask, I think any nasal cushion or nasal pillows users will enjoy and feel familiar with the design.

Good soft nasal pillow with air blowing in causing it to inflate, providing a good sealing. Like it compared to my previous hard nasal pillow.

This is the best mask I’ve ever used. It is adjustable on top and sides with Velcro straps, small adjustments are easy. Accommodates anyone. The air supply pivots so you are not fighting to find a good position for the hose.
