Thank you. That cushion is hard to get off. Using your advice I will have a go

[@javaskull88]

THANK YOU for showing how to get the cushion coupled with the mask. It’s not easy! But otherwise I love my Resmed AirSense 10 and Airfit F30 mask. It’s a great, silent machine.

Why thank you Sharon!

[@emilywilson8289]

This is the mask i use its the best one i have ever had

[@PaulGuy1954]

Good video Sarah. I generally like this mask but I agree it is frustrating putting the cushion back on without any kind click feedback. I find myself pressing really hard trying to hear it click which never comes. So thanks for confirming my experience.

[@sarahthecpaplady]

My pleasure!

[@cardinalflower6959]

Nicely done! Very clear explanation--thank you.

[@sarahthecpaplady]

Thank you!

[@FrankWhite145]

Great video I'm using the F20 and I'm getting rashes around the bridge of my nose 😢 I'm seriously considering the F30. Thank you for the video.

[@sarahthecpaplady]

Have you tried a cpap liner to keep the mask off your skin or the AirTouch memory foam version of the F2O.

[@bud2935]

I'm having the same issue. I put some Neosporin on it at night and it doesn't bother me as much. I'm also considering the F30.

[@Anaconda-squeeze]

​@@bud2935something happened to me...I got a mark now on my nose...the full face was horrible and it also leaked like crazy...this mask is much better and I love it

[@terrysaunders2026]

You struggled when you tried to separate the two pieces of the mask. I unclip the hose difuser before separating the mask pieces. No struggle.

[@lindahays1157]

Mostly, I really like this mask. I’m a side sleeper and mouth-breather. The problem is, the weight of the hose pulls the face mask slightly off kilter. I have to hold the tube to keep a good seal when sleeping. If not, I get the old whooosh of air leakage. Otherwise, I would recommend it. It’s very sturdy and a good alternative to the larger full-face masks, which I hated. It’s a little difficult to get the nose part exactly right, however, but once it’s in place, it’s a pretty good sleep.

[@chrisf1202]

Any tips for the hose being too heavy?

[@crehlk]

​​@@chrisf1202 I have a hose holder that takes a lot of weight off.

[@lindahays1157]

I got a hose lift from Amazon. And a friend gave me an Evora mask to try. It’s similar to F30, but has a flatter front and a small tube from the front. All that really helps. The small hose is much lighter.

[@chrisf1202]

@@lindahays1157 thank you. I'll try.

[@chrisf1202]

@@crehlk thank you.

[@pault3090]

Sarah, I've used the ResMed F30i for some time and generally like it. However, the air exhaust from the front of the mask really blows forcefully and often either annoys me or, even worse, my wife when I sleep on my side. I'm not at all hung up on the hose attached to the top of my mask and believe I would be happier with the QuietAIr exhaust feature of the F30. The only thing that would improve both masks is replacing the silicone cushion with a foam cushion like the AirTouch F20. Any advice or comments, please? (I really enjoy your excellent videos!)

[@davidbarbour5153]

Ive been on an F20 and it drives me crazy, hoping the F30 is the solution and I start getting green faces in the readout. I've ben on 0/20 for mask leaks on the F20 and I'm shattered the next day fingers crossed with this one.

[@phillysalsero1]

Great explanation

Thank you so much! Please help me get to 1000 subscribers if you haven't already.

[@gregmackay8068]

The material used on the cushion hurts my face. Can they not use a softer material with a reinforced edging. This could assist with seal on top of nostrils. The nostril portion is too floppy.

[@gregmackay8068]

I'm struggling with leaks above left nostril. How can I adjust straps to solve this problem.

[@amygarrett5285]

I wish it snapped too. It's quite the bugger to reattach

[@wrestlingmunchkin]

My partner uses this mask and I absolutely detest it, we can not get a good seal. I have to get up several times a night every night to set the machine. The thing that is meant to improve sleep is ruining mine. by about two hours a night.

[@sarahthecpaplady]

Have you watched this video? kzbin.info/www/bejne/m5SQgJyZbKxsm5I

[@bobbyd224]

How can i put a new strap on idk how to detach the top of the mask

[@sarahthecpaplady]

The top 2 straps Velcro into place. Bottom ones you unhook the magnets. Did you get it apart?

[@MikeBroderick33]

I started with the Resmed F10, which worked well for me, but has been discontinued. The F20 killed the side of my nose below the bridge - a sore made worse by my eyeglasses. After two days with the F30 I developed a terrible, painful sore below the tip of my nose - which stayed sore and red for two further days. The length of the F30 seems too long for my face and really squashes my nose. Any suggestions? I'm thinking of trying the Fisher & Paykel Vitera. Do you have any experience with it? Thanks.

[@sarahthecpaplady]

The vitara has always been pretty good for me but with the issues your having I wouldn't want to sware it.

[@MikeBroderick33]

@@sarahthecpaplady Thank you.

[@johnwitmer8265]

I'm new to this cpap game, just started 10/7/23. I have the AirFitF30i and having trouble with the small piece that divides the nostrils on the cushion., it seems to block the airway sometimes. Can you cut that little piece out and make it open to both nostrils at the same time without blockage ? Would that hurt the seal at all or the cushion from working properly ?

[@sarahthecpaplady]

I have been told by patients that they cut it. The Dreamwear full face is open in that spot.

[@ggirardin2014]

I tried cutting the nasal holes due to the airway pinching you describe, but it increased the air bleed. The cushions are disposable so you could try and see for yourself.

[@richlargent5665]

What size is the head strap you were using?

[@sarahthecpaplady]

The standard stap.

[@brucefletcher3990]

THAT MASK HURTS!!!!!!!! TEARS MY MOUTH APART NO MATTER HOW YOU ADJUST IT !!!!!!!!!!! 😡

Can you give me more information?
