Tried the F40 for the first time last night and it was great. I have been using the F20 and was on the verge of giving up on a full mask. However, fearing my mouth opening I was going to switch to the F30i. The office I go to was out of stock and asked me if I wanted to try the F40. I am so glad they had no stock of the F30i. The F40 was so much better on my face than the F20. I can roll over on my side and have no issues. My mask seal was at an all time low of 1.2 last night With the F20 I was seeing anything from 15-25 on average, and sometimes even higher. From a sizing standpoint I was sized with a standard headgear and a large mask. I was measured to fit into a Medium mask; however when I tried on both the medium and large I found the large was more comfortable because it gave me a little more room on each side of my mouth, as well as underneath my bottom lip. Like I said above, I think this mask is great and a huge improvement from the F20. All of my scores were good and I slept with it for 7.11 hours. My events per hour was 1.2, which is good on its own, but I thought it would have been higher trying a new mask for the first time. I was pleasantly surprised and happy with the results.

[@CPAPReviews]

My F20 is giving me up to 120 ML leak per minute. Absolute garbage. I haven't been able to regularly meet my required usage. I ordered the F40 on my dime because I'm fed up with being exhausted and feeling severely unhealthy. I even take the F20 off in my sleep.

[@heatherbish3331]

I have fit 4 of my patients for this mask over the last few weeks. 100% give it an A+! They say it is lightweight (compared to the F30, I agree). The tubing in the front is huge improvement over the F30 and it is much more slimline. Our only concern is how it would hold up over time due to the silicone being much softer.

[@stanobert3475]

This is good to see! My f20 mask is a complete failure! It leaks, and one time, the hard plastic on the tip of the mask rubbed against the bridge of my nose and rubbed against a migraine pressure point. This gave me the worst migraine that I had in years.

[@AMGF815]

Hello, can you give any insight into the Airfit F40 vs the Airfit F30i?

[@AMGF815]

@@stanobert3475 I started using the F40 for about week. It’s pretty comfortable and might stick with it but I decided to also try the P10 nasal pillow mask over the past few days.

Wonder if they will do an F40i at some point. Really liked my F30 and F30i but leaked too much around the nose so went back to F20.

[@lwsledge]

Same here. Liked the F30i and used it for a couple years,, but too much leak and my eyes were blurry all day. I switch to the Evora and have pretty much zero leaks now, but it is tight around my nose.

I agree, it would be great if there was a kit with all the mask sizes...when i first got my machine, my doctor's office didnt even send me to get a fitting..they just asked me as if i knew

[@rickfunk1355]

I've tried several hybrid mask but they both had that vertical silicone septal nose part which I can't wear since it rubs me wrong. I do like the idea of a full silicone mask and the rotating connection is great, which my F&P Evora has that.

[@Reboot153]

I have never been able to get a hybrid mask to fit me right. It always feels like it's being rammed up my nose and causes discomfort when breathing through my nose. Do you have any videos on the proper seating and adjustment of a hybrid mask? I havent been able to find any yet. Thank you for your content!

[@BobBohner4851]

Will it work work 20/14 pressures? ans. 3 weeks in... yes it works GREAT with 20/14 pressures

[@vk3xemontheweb]

Replace the cushion every month, that is a big FAIL. My Evora Full cushion was still going strong after 18 months, it was the headgear that finally fell apart. I have kept the cushion as a spare!

[@JoSt5646]

Razor companies will give you the razor... Cause now you have to keep coming back for the blade$. Here... The CPAP company will charge you thru the nose for the accessories... And still make you pay thru the nose over and over in 30 day increments. No freebies here.

[@CGatta71]

Got my mask yesterday and it’s comfortable. Very soft. Good seal.

[@Altyros]

So do you need to change the mask type on airsense 10 for full face to pillow if you’re using the evora full face?

[@paulsinderbrand1620]

Should I use the "pillows" setting on my ResMed 10 when paired with the Evora Full Face Mask, since it also has a short flexible tube?

[@CPAPReviews]

Hi Paul, if you have an AS10 then you can use SleepHQ.com (my platform) and you can change the setting and see A. how you feel (it will increase the airflow velocity slightly so there's potential of more mask leaks) and B. How your charts/data look. It won't make a huge amount of difference but it will add a slight pressure compensation/airflow compensation to adjust for the added resistance. Put simply, the fan will spin a bit faster. Cheers

[@kensurname7446]

HOPE ResMed has “IMPROVED” THEIR HARNESS STRAP(S)!!! Unfortunately, the straps on ResMed’s Mirage FX and Quatro Air are GARBAGE. With 12+ years CPAP usage, these harness straps need replacing after just six months. Why? Because (1) the loop-side fabric sheds to non-adherence AND (2) the straps lose their modest elasticity. Plus the two Velcro strips are too damn short - sometimes pulls apart when turning over. I’m fed-up and finally seeking alternative head gear. ==>>Have you read this ResMed?

Hey friend, thanks for the detailed review. If you’ve tried the f30, have you noticed a difference in “edge pressure” between it and the f40? I’ve only ever tried the f30. With it, i can’t help but be annoyed by the plastic edge where the mask meets the skin around the mouth. Does this sound familiar to you? Might you have any advice? For context, I’m a CPAP noob.

My father has a deviated nasal septum nd sleep apnea with ahi 46 , he is currently using cpap but some studies suggest that septoplasty can cause central apnea in future... but how? 2. My father getting aerophagia without Epr so ...he use Epr at 2 level ..my question is if he is having central apnea caused by Epr in future so what should i do???..currently he is using apap pressure minimum 8.8 to max 10.2 ...and Ahi is 2 sometimes 1.6 3) how can i lower my father Ahi under 1.0 ? Currently Ahi is between 1 - 2 and maximum 95 % pressure goes to 10.0 ...so what should i do...we dont have oscar support because we are middle class people and use resmed airstart 10

Seems like this’ll be similar to the amara view which was my first mask when I was first diagnosed with chronic type 2 respiratory failure around 2 years ago now after a while I switched to the F20 full face but it was marking my face pretty badly so I switched to the f30 a couple months later had the f30 ever since I think the hybrids suit me better because I try soley be a nasal breather but if my jaw drops (I don’t use a chin strap they make me feel claustrophobic) at least I won’t be woken up and my pressure wouldn’t drop that way

Thank you for this information! I ordered and just received my NEW F40 (Standard headgear, Medium Cushion) today. Fitting it right now to wear tonight. What difference! I have been using a F30(M) for the last three years and this F40 seems to feel like wearing almost nothing at all! By-the-way, the F40 fitting card is almost worthless for determining what to order (for me). Especially not having the card without getting the F40 first. Since I was used to the F30(M) I was able to predetermine the best sizes to order. If I hadn't been following your channel I would not have heard about this new mask for some time to come. Again, Thank You for keeping up on new product and CPAP issues for us!

[@cardinalflower6959]

So how did it work out for you?

[@johnstevens3598]

I have been using the F40 for about a month now. The issues that I have had to overcome: 1. The sizing - I have had to order a Large mask/pillow. I am a mouth breather. While sleeping, my nose clogs up no matter what I do or try, genetics. I use a Medium on an F30i. The F40 size I ordered was regular based on the F30i. Apparently, I have a "big head" so I had to reorder the large mask and head gear. I wish there had been a way to try on the F40 before I ordered it. 2. I am a side sleeper. Therefore I have had to go to a "soft" pillow. I was using a medium/firm pillow. The firm pillow will move the whole mask off of my face while sleeping. Probably being completely bald doesn't help (slippy head/slippy mask). 3. I was having many "poor mask fit" messages at first. It turned out to be the seal on the water tank! The higher pressure using the F40 was blowing-back through an OLD (6 months +) tank seal. New tank, no messages All told, once I got through the issues ("problems") I LOVE the F40! Not claustrophobic, light weight, cool wearing, no peripheral vision problems, no pressure points. My only continuing complaint is the complex (fiddley) disassembly/reassembly of the mask for cleaning. Yeah a whole extra 45 seconds to clean the mask. I am a central apnea patient - I cannot live without this. Literally!

It doesn’t seem to be in any of the videos either. If anyone knows, please share. I’ll be speaking with my doctor this week and will definitely be ordering one of these.
