F&P Nova Micro vs ResMed P10 | Which Mask is REALLY Better?

The New Nova Micro CPAP mask from Fisher and Paykel needs a full review! In this review we compare it to the best selling, ResMed P10 Nasal Pillow CPAP mask to see which mask is better.
Although they are the same style, but have their differences. The Nova Micro has adjustment straps for easy tailoring to your face. However, the P10 is fully stretchy, so it does this automatically! The pillows are also different. The P10 as a more traditional CPAP pillow design and is great at keeping the seal. The F&P Micro on the other hand has a pillow, cradle design. I personally love this design but will it work for every nose on every face?

I got the Nova Micro from your store and have to say, it's extremely comfy, pillows feel much better than the P10. It's easy to exhale and it's for me, a far better experience than the P10 was (and it was good). Thanks for the awesome review. Love your videos

I'm looking forward to trying the Micro. I currently use the F&P Brevida mask which I like but has one flaw (at least for me). The point where the tube swivels is also where the exhaust diffuser is located. Oftentimes it swivels and points at my lips/face and bothers the heck out of me. I like the P10 a lot except for the fact that the headgear is not adjustable. I have a large head and wearing the mask more than four days in a row leads to a sore nose. I don't understand why ResMed doesn't offer a larger strap.

I've searched hi/lo and tried all masks to find a backup option for respironics nuance (I think they've already dc'd it...); my airmini uses P10... is nova micro available for US customers?

[@claimguy]

I find the different experiences that users have using the same mask fascinating. I have only ever used a P10 because it was suggested as the best first attempt mask and it has been perfect for me ever since. I have no problem exhalation pressure, no condensation, no fit, leak, or comfort issues and no problem moving about as much as I want. I use it with a ResMed AirSense 11 and I don't even use the water tank. The rotating connections at either end of the hose with this mask did intrigue me a little because the P10 does not have even one rotating end. I think the reason it would be necessary with this Nova Micro is because the elephant hose is so short on this mask. It looks to be about half the length of the hose on the P10. I expect that the significantly longer hose on the P10 allows for far more torsional freedom, eliminating the need for the rotating connections. I think I would probably have issues with the shorter length of the Nova Micro elephant hose because the additional length in the P10 hose creates the freedom I have in turning from side - to - side and is probably largely responsible for the fit and comfort experience I have.

I had similar thoughts but just got my micro and it is much better than the P10 in my view. The pillows are more comfortable. It does exhale better. I am a side sleeper and turn from side to side and have no difficulties with the elephant hose.

How about leaking on both masks? Do they both have problems with high leakage especially at higher pressures eg max 15 or, is one mask better than the other with little to no problem with air leakage?

[@anrn5303]

wow P10 seems to be louder....

[@pbrian9527]

When will these available in the USA? Your website only shows Canada

[@thecpapstore]

According to our F&P reps, the USA will only receive the Solo until further notice. So we do not know as we only operate in Canada.

[@screamtoasigh9984]

​@@thecpapstoreis that weird that they are only doing it in Canada? I can't imagine why.

[@hollypaladino2651]

I would like to try this but do you ship to US?

[@screamtoasigh9984]

Too bad it's not in the US, and doesn't come in XS, just like the brevida, which only comes in small/xs which is really just small and not small enough. I hate they couldn't make a smaller version.

[@dorothyknox2218]

I been on P10 for a few years and i am changing to another mask because i started getting irritation in my nostril and around my mouth

[@dutch8847]

Cost comparison?

[@thecpapstore]

both are $140 CAD on our website. those who get our emails get reduced costs via promo codes.

[@geraldtaylor5880]

Can the cushion on the micro be used on the P10?

[@screamtoasigh9984]

No because the p10 is resmed and this is f&p

[@pbrian9527]

Didn’t they just come out with the noisy solo?

[@thecpapstore]

perhaps? I am unable to get my hands on a solo in Canada right now. Hopefully I will get them by fall, and can do a review.

[@screamtoasigh9984]

This is pillows, the solo is a "nasal cushion (or nasal compact)" like the evora nasal.

[@pbrian9527]

@@screamtoasigh9984 the solo comes in two options. Nasal cushion or pillows. I have the pillow version.
