ResMed AirFit N30i Nasal CPAP Mask Starter Pack

Subject: Nasal mask
I am sleeping through the night now. This nasal mask is so light it’s like you’re not wearing a mask. Very pleased with it.

Subject: Nasal Pillow Mask
This mask is so comfortable and does not bother me at all. I have no problems turning from side to side while sleeping.

Subject: Love this newer design
The original design was great but I did blow air onto my wife with the new design that issue is no more it’s also quieter

Subject: Review on nasal mask
This is the first time I have used a nasal mask. I have always used a mask that covered my entire nose. It does make my nose a little sore the next morning. But other than that, I really like it better.

Subject: Amazing mask
I wasn't too sure about getting a mask with the dual tube design from some reviews, but I decided to give it a shot. Now I'm very happy with it. I can sleep on my side without any issue and the air flow feels very natural and comfortable. Also the connection point at the top of the head is great, I didn't know I needed it before. The comfort level on this mask is a cut above anything else I've used. Highly recommended to sleepers of any kind.

Subject: Sublime purchase
I’ve heard a lot of people rave about Resmed masks and I really liked the design of the n30i. When I saw it on sale for a low price, I decided to pull the trigger and I can affirm that was a correct decision. It is supremely comfortable and convenient.

Pros-
For starters, it was very easy to get the mask set up and working. The ribbed portion across the top means you can adjust the frame however wide you need. I like this over some other mask designs that require you to measure and pick a frame size. Also the strap on the back is very supple and has a slit which I personally think helps with air flow.
The cushion is well designed. It cradles under the nose and doesn’t shift while also effortlessly delivering air. I’ve been able to sleep well, without disruptive leaks or the cushion moving out of place. There’s also a vent design with holes on it, which helps to diffuse the air. I can attest to its efficacy.
There are also some minutiae that make this mask even better. Quick disconnect connector that can swivel sits on the top of the head. This is incredible, as it means you can keep the air feed away from your body, while also giving you a way to easily get up. I’m also fond of the dual air path design. It means that you can sleep on your side and the unobstructed side will deliver air perfectly fine. There are included cloth sleeves that go over the cheek portions to keep it comfortable- another nice touch.

Cons-
The only real con I have to speak of is that cushion replacements are a little more pricey than other masks I’ve used in the past. However, the cushion feels durable so I may not have to replace it as often.

Subject: First Mask is Great
This is my first mask so I don’t have any comparisons but I haven’t had any problems. I’ve been breathing well thanks to it and I would make sure to recommend this to anyone looking for a new CPAP mask.

Comfortability – The frame is a wide strap across the back of the head. It spreads out the weight well and there’s a gap in it that helps with air circulation. My mask hasn’t slipped which I know is a common issue with masks that people have, so I think the N30i is good in that area too. As for the cushion, I decided to give a nasal mask a try since it seemed to be a good middle ground in comfort and seal. I haven’t noticed any irritation and I’m able to fall asleep as fast as I used to. No red marks and it hasn’t slipped out of place ither.

Performance – This was my first mask so I wasn’t sure what to expect. My apnea had been really harming my sleep so I was hoping for something that could fully resolve it. I’ve been breathing well every night since I got the mask so I think it’s working excellently. Also, I was worried that the air flow would wake up my wife but she says she hasn’t noticed it. That’s also good.

Overall, the N30i was a great first mask for me. It was very cheap but I don’t think that’s affected the quality at all. It’s a nice touch too that there’s two air tubes down each side of the face. And the hose attaches to the top so I don’t have anything draping over my body. I can sleep on my side as normal. This mask will be my go to for the future and I don’t anticipate trying another model.

Subject: Better than I thought
I have been thinking of trying a nasal mask for sometime after using a face mask for over 10 years. When the Airfit N30i - ResMed Nasal Mask Starter Pack went on sale I decided to take the gamble and try it. I was not disappointed and probably will also be reordering a nasal mask from now on.

This is the third mask I tried and bought it out of pocket. Money well spent as this mask is perfect. No leaks, no headaches, no sores in my nostrils. I only wish I started out with this one! So comfortable.

Love the mask. It does not leak and it does not slip. Very comfortable.

Fits well, and I was able to decrease the pressure on my CPAP from what was needed for a regular mask.

Well constructed and a great fitting CPAP mask. Less air blowing on my partner.

This is my first mask i loved. I slept the first night all the way through trying it the first time. It's super comfortable. The breathing seems magical as it works phenomenal no forced air up your nose. I slept on my side just great. It's grade A all the way, i had a full face mask and a nasal mask thought i'd try a different approach and take a chance on this one (same manufacturer) of my other masks. I actually look forward to sleep now because of this mask, it's comfort level would have to be near 10. The no hose out the front makes a bigger difference than i thought, the sides are very unrestrictive. I'd highly recommend this mask whatever negatives you seen in youtube's ad's (cause i seen a few) just ignore, i'm quite picky and i knew right away this was the answer i was looking for it's awesome, you'll love it.

I think the mask is great fit very well built it is easy to wear all night

I love this new mask. I have struggled with getting used to my CPAP. I have tried numerous mask & was at my wits end. I feel and sleep better when I use my CPAP. This is the first mask I have used consistently. My insurance would not provide nor pay for this mask. The company I am required by my insurance to use is 1 hour from my house and does not have this mask. So, I had to purchase without any benefits from the insurance that I pay for. I am happy I did, it is working out so well. My health is improving daily. I did read other reviews before I was going to spend $$ for this and one comment which is valid sticks in my mind is that you can hear the air going through near your ears. I have Tinnitus so this is like white noise for me thus helps me sleep better. Not related directly to the mask but I am struggling with getting good evaluation from my doctor to review the air pressure and make adjustments.

My pulmonologist recommended this mask so I tried it. Now 6 weeks later I can say, that like all masks they have pros and cons. First and probably most important, my wife loves it!! She says it is the quietest mask I have ever used and it doesn't leak as much either as I move around during the night. I found that the head gear stays in place well and agree it doesn't move as much as my Swift LT so it leaks much less. It is also light and very easy to don and doff. It is very comfortable.

What I found to be a problem is while it is quiet for my wife I find it to be like sleeping in a wind tunnel. Very noisy for the wearer especially if you are a side sleeper. At 16 cm of pressure blowing through the mask near my ears is a bit annoying. Secondly, I find it hard to clean the head piece well. All you can do is flush soapy water in and out. I use a vinegar soak then rinse it thoroughly. I feel like a salad if I don't rinse it enough.

Overall I give this system a very good rating and look forward to using it for a while.

I have been using the N30I for a few nights and I love it! This mask is very sturdy, does NOT ride up the back of my head so once I put it on it stays in place. The cushion stays sealed all through the night so again, no need to adjust it. At first I thought the cushion was leaking but discovered it was just the Vent on the cushion which is normal. This is now my go to mask and I love it!

I love Airfit N30i mask by Resmed. I have the Dreamwear nasal mask as well, but this mask is made much better. The mask overall is sturdier and the nasal cushion is comfortable and soft. I can clean the cushion without it twisting all over. The headgear can slide on your head like the Dreamwear, but it’s not flimsy and stays on the head. When you receive this mask, the silicone doesn’t have that obnoxious smell that the Respironics silicone does. The elbow can be dtached from the frame for easy cleaning. Resmed seems to do a better job with their masks than other companies. For me this mask makes me more compliant with my therapy.

Subject: recent purchase
Airfit n 30i best one ever . Finally able to get a nights sleep.

Subject: N30i Very Good
I ordered the mask on Saturday and received it on Wednesday. That is quick shipping, even though I used free shipping.

Pro: The N30i is very good, delivering performance that is a cross between a full nasal mask like the N20 and nasal pillows like the P10. I have chronic congestion, and the N30i pushes the air in far better than a regular nasal mask like the N20.

Con: I like to keep my bedroom cool and the N30i tubing allows a great deal of condensation. I'm not sure what it is, tubing near the ear or the air holes in the cushion, but the mask can seem a bit noisy. The air vents in the cushion are at an unfortunate angle, blowing a fairly high velocity air stream down on my hands as I lie in my preferred sleeping position. Annoying.

My first choice is the N20 AirTouch, which gives me the most consistent comfort and fit. However, when I get congested, which happens frequently, I will reach for the N30i from now on. In spite of the annoyances.

this mask is fit to my face and only cover small range of my face. So I wouldn't feel too much when i wear it.

Subject: A mix of comfort and challenges with the N30i
The ResMed Airfit N30i initially seemed like the perfect mask for me with its comfortable nose piece and top-of-head hose connection. However, after using it for a while, I found that the new design of the nasal piece caused some issues with my thin nose and nostrils. Although I tried adjusting the straps and even experimented with nasal pillows, I'm still searching for the ideal mask that provides comfort and unrestricted airflow throughout the night.

Subject: N30i Mask Review
Bought a new Airsense 11 and tried the N30i nasal mask. For me, it was not a good fit; the size of the mask did not seem to fit my head and stay situated properly, and I found the area about the nose would leak too much. It might fit better for others, but I came from using a Philips machine and a mask with nasal pillows, and am exchanging for the P30i mask which should be more like my old Philips mask.

Am still waiting to receive my order
. Where is it now??

Subject: Airfit N30i - ResMed Nasal CPAP Mask Starter Pack
I have been using the CPAP with nasal prongs. Over time I found it irritating my nostrils and really not that good for side sleeping so I purchased the N30i with a kind of a nasal cushion and a top of the head hose entry that looked better for side sleeping. The verdict is mixed. For supine back sleeping this is very good and doesn't irritate my nose at all. But when side sleeping the nasal cushion moves just slightly with my face on my pillow which allows air to leak and a lot of air noise. So its no better or worse than my original nasal prong unit.So far no perfect cpap

Subject: Feels like not enough air
Pros. Top hose connection is really nice. A little more comfortable than the other nose pillow version i tried.
Soft sides.

Cons. Felt like not enough air was going into me. My nose was sore. Mustache hairs pulled on. Lately I've been ripping it off in my sleep due to discomfort.

Subject: Poor Fit
The N30i is an unfortunately poor product that I had high hopes for before using. I have used the P30i which works excellently but wanted to try using the N30i for a potentially more comfortable fit. While the n30i is comfortable and slightly quieter to my ear than the p30i, if you move at all in your sleep it leaks a great deal. I went from 1-2L leakage on the p30i to an average of over 20L leaking on the n30i after falling asleep with a perfect fit! If you toss and turn in your sleep, this mask is not for you.

SEEMS I GET BETTER AIR FLOW THRU OUT THE NIGHT WITH MY OLD PILLOW TYPE OVER THE AIR LIFT SYSTEM. HOW CAN I RETURN THE EXTRA KIT?

Please call our office and we will be happy to help.

Subject: doesn't quite fit right on a big head
I'm big headed, so head gear always fits me a bit strange. In this case, the circumference of the main gear is not adjustable, so it's one-size-fits-most. For big headed guys like me, that apparently means the top portion of the head gear needs to be slid forward a bit in order to not pull too hard on the bottom half, which is what connects with your nose. If I wear the top portion as far back as the fitting instructions and video show, the nasal pillows are pulled up into my nose, which causes quite a bit of nostril pain by morning.

By slouching the top portion forward to relieve the "pulling" against my nostrils, I end up having a less secure fit for the nasal pillows, and hence air leakage problems.

Seems I just need to stick to head gear options where I can adjust in various directions to get a comfortable all-night fit.

Luckily, we have the Mask Assurance Program. Please give us a call, 866-936-3754, so we can help you find the best mask for you.

This mask is a great design from an "impressions" left in the am pov, however,
the "seal" doesn't work as well and mouth breathing was a real issue (dry mouth)
and I just didn't sleep very well and was very disappointed as I loved the idea of the mask.

Subject: Recent purchase of my third mask
Again,uncomfortable and leaking air during the night .Awakens my wife and me.

We are very sorry you are unhappy with this mask. It is true that not every mask will work for everyone, and sometimes it does take trying multiple to find the correct mask. Our mask assurance is applicable once every 6 months. I would suggest if you've used your mask assurance already to give us a call to discuss what hasn't worked for you mask wise and we can try to help you decide on a different mask to try. You may also want to consider seeing if a local company would be able to help you with a mask fitting. Thank you.

Subject: Not compatible with Resmed machine
I was hopeful but this connector is not compatible with the hose to my Resmed machine. The 2nd problem is that the covers that protect the face will not go back on once removed. Not a good design.

Hi Evelyn,

masks are universal with any hose. Chances are you might have the adapter from your previous mask stuck in your hose. I am not sure what you mean by covers, but please feel free to call us at 866 936 3754 and one of our staff will be able to help you set up your mask so you can use it.

I hate this mask so much. Thumb screws are more comfortable.

the last full face I bought had exhaust holes that rotate with your movement at night. your mask has same movement.the air that comes from these vents into your eyes give you very puffy eye lids in the morning. could all vents be made to face down I am 72 age and having no air blowing in your eyes from any mask would be a bonus . thank you david
