Hi Jason, I use this mask every night. It's awesome. I remembered this video and purchased this baby about 6 weeks ago. Thanks for all you do. Received my refurbished DS1 from Philips and it's louder and looks older than the old one. You should maybe do a video slamming Philips for sending out crap instead of new machines.

[@screamtoasigh9984]

The hose on top is easier if you are an active sleeper. When you have an elephant mask on and move around a lot you wind up strangling yourself in your sleep. (And it's also really uncomfortable to wake up on a hose under you (back) and around your neck.

[@chrislacosse2560]

Been using the new version for 2 months.Love it. Way more quiet!! And like you said softer

I like the FP Evora nasal better. Just ordered FP full face from Australia this week too. Still looking to reduce leaking

I love the P30i it's the best mask I've found. I was using the Dreamwear pillow mask but refuse to support Phillips now in any form. Their a shit company that have lost all trust from me and my dollars.

[@YoSpiff]

I bought the new version a few weeks before you produced this video (replacing a Swift FX which I heard is being discontinued). I didn't like it for a similar problem that you had. I could not keep the holes in the nasal cushion aligned with my nostrils as I tossed from back to side. I replaced it with nasal pillows, making it into a P30i and am quite happy with it now. I will still use the Swift FX for travel until I can't get replacement nasal pillows anymore.

[@richardgulan784]

I’ve had the new versions and love it

thank you so much for your straightforward reviews. New to cpap, you helped me pick the right one

[@Freecpapadvice]

Thanks for the loot!!!

[@tinetannies4637]

The N30i is better designed overall than the Dreamwear EXCEPT the cushion on the N30i (1) cups the nose and tends to squeeze the nostrils and (2) if you put the N30i cushion next to the Dreamwear cushion, you'll see that the N30i cushion is significantly taller and therefore can slide forwards and backwards much more. The ideal...for me....would be the Dreamwear cushion on the N30i mask but, no surprise, they're entirely incompatible. For the cushion reason, the Dreamwear is still my go-to.

[@davidh.8513]

I have both of those and don`t mind the old version at all except for all the air that blows out of the small holes like you said. The new version feels to me that hardly NO air comes out of the vent and makes my water in the tank last much longer in my opinion. I really like it too. Thanks for your reviews! Happy New Year!

[@sanch2050]

I’m a side sleeper as well and new to cpap- I concur with your comment of not being sold on the over head connector setup. Which mask is your favourite?

[@KK4CNM]

I find that the resmed headgear is better than the dreamware, the DW headgear air tubes on each side are smaller than the resmed and don't carry as much air when compressed due to laying on ones side

[@bethofsherwood]

I am new to the CPAP world by 3 days. They gave me this mask... by the third night I felt it was leaking so much, when I looked at the nasal cushion in the morning , the centre piece of silicone was ripped. Therefore it's useless. This was only my 3rd night! Have you seen this problem? I am a side sleeper.

[@tobywinter1]

I’m a woman. My Dreamwear mask with the hose attachment on top of my head has made a hideous cow lick on top of my head that I can’t get to go away. Also , the silicone grabs and pulls my hair out of my head. This top old head hose connect is good in some ways but for me the trade off is what it has done to my hair.

[@dinnerandamurder]

Going to get this next. Been using the Philips Dreamwear masks and had a lot of issues. The nasal pillows hurt my nose. So I tried the original nasal mask, but trying ninth small and med, still had a lot of leakage because the nasal hole is actually wider than my nose. Worse on my side. I’ve heard this mask has 2 smaller holes instead of a wide gaping hole like the Dreamwear. Looking forward to the better diffuser to. The Dreamwear diffuser isn’t pleasant,

And here I am trying to find the old version of N30i. The new version SUCKS, it leaks so freaking much no matter what I do (during nights when sleeping on sides etc there are always gaps compared to the old version that fit perfect during the night). T I also hate to remove it compared to the harder plastic version. Funny how different it is between people. New N30i forced me to try and find another mask, since I just cannot stand the new crap version.

[@Barmace_Drachwolf]

I completely love the dreamware with pillows. I love that it makes a smaller holes that goes deeper in my noes, thus less leakage. The dreamware, I couldn't get a seal. So I highly recommend Dreamware with pillows.

[@johnpopp2146]

Same with me, no leaks with the gel pillows. Proper sizing is critical though as too large and they will distort and too small and the pillow try to go inside your nostrils.

[@kimtyler8368]

New one feels great however the quiet vent turns a disgusting color after a few weeks, it looks like mold. Happened to 3 of my vents that were washed with dawn and water. Also the quiet air vent replacements are NOT sold in the USA but they are in Australia for $12.

[@dmrapoport]

Been using the N30i a lot since Jan 2020. Surprisingly, while I agree that the new cushion is softer and diffuses the air much better, the original cushion provided me with a clearer air flow in my nose (if that makes sense). Also, I haven't had to tighten the mask to the point where the cushion hurts my upper lip area. Since I'm not much of a side sleeper, I also haven't had to deal with the leak issue that the original cushion is prone to. So. I'm gonna say the original cushion worked better for me. Lately, I've been trying the F&P Evora, and it gives me even more airflow and practically no leaks. That mask is a winner for sure. My new go-to!

[@cdnmr]

Agree 100%. Havent slept well since getting the new version.

Just got my first N30i and I had watched your review of the old one. I couldn't understand what big hard piece on the cushion you were complaining about. Now I see they changed it. Only 3 nights in but happy so far.

[@HigherInfluence]

Very new to CPAP, just last week I got my ResMed machine and N30i mask. I have to say that my fears of not being able to accept this whole system evaporated because of this mask. It was quite, comfortable and easy to fit and remove. Because I’m a back sleeper I don’t experience that problem you do with air leaking out the side. So far very happy and my sleep is beginning to improve as are my energy levels.

[@pcjcusa1118]

The "new" N30i is shit on toast. Hisses LOUDLY while leaking like a sieve, at least 35 L/min while the "old" version was

[@ugh_what_now5641]

I DESPISE the new cushion. Hated it as a tester and hate it still. The center piece is so flimsy it tears after a couple of uses, and most insurance companies won't replace the nasal cushions that often. Mine only replaces them ONCE A YEAR. Leaving me with a cost of $35 every week or two now. Quiet doesn't much matter when you can't afford to use your machine.

[@ichich7134]

I love the new one! I never ever want any other mask. I sleep on the side or on my stomach and I have no problem with leeks... Her in Germany is although a third configuration: I have the new cussion, but with the "quit air". Instead the "quit air" I have a "hard Plastik inlay with holes" like Ur old cussion. 🤷🏻‍♂️ It's shoots the air straight out, and that's the only thing I don't like. I think about to buy the "quit air" extra .. By the way: do CPAP supplies deliver to Germany? Or only in us ??? In Germany the CPAP masks (and so on) are extremely expensive.

[@jbf2858]

I don't use a nasal mask, I use an F20. But I can't use the quiet air elbow as it does something to my breathing at night. I've tried numerous times and failed. I wish I could use it because it is quieter and I wouldn't feel the air, but I need the old style. If this quiet technology is integral to the new N30i cushion, I can see that as being a problem for some people.

Please help Jason… I am struggling

[@mno4282]

I sleep already 5mth with new ResMed N30i CPAP mask. To say it straight i think I was liking old one better, or it is just mater of habit. But new one is softer... And sleeping on side was never issue for me. With Philips one if i sleept on side i was not getting enough air. With this one or older type no issue with that.

[@WakeUpAmerican000s]

I agree - the N30i original style cushions were better than the new ones with the softer cushion and the "quiet vent" that for me, leak so much, it ends up making more noise than the original N30i cushions. And those "quiet vent" thingys on the 'new' N30i mask have to be soaked in vinegar or other disinfectant every few days or they get disgusting.

[@senorcabra8963]

The problem I had with the old style was when the pressure came up, as it inflated it would slightly pinch my nose, constricting the airflow into my nares. The hard plastic kept the mask from expanding out, only in. I got my hands on the new style and I love it. I also like the Dreamwear nasal mask, but I'm hedging my bets, in case Phillips gets out of the CPAP business, after their foamgate fiasco.

[@ladymunch0]

any idea if resmed make a large cushion for this mask? Ive got a small and a medium, but I'm used to conventional nose pillows that go inside my nose more so this feels a bit weird for me. TIA for info. 🤞🏽

[@w.jeandun1971]

the small mask starter kit comes with small and medium to try. The standard mask comes with all 3--s, m, l, to try so yes there are 3 size pillows or cushions available.

[@ptbuber5027]

I prefer the OLD version of N30i. Cannot breathe with the NEW version. I had to remove the filter in the NEW version to breathe. Cannot buy OLD version,, as you need both OLD frame and OLD cushion. OLD cushion does NOT fit the NEW frame.

[@tmc712]

Apparently I'm in the minority. I loved the old version, and I dislike the new one. It leaks like crazy, so I have to tighten the mask straps so much that they leave marks on my face. I never had that problem with the old one. I only sleep on my back, so that's probably why the hard plastic never bothered me. I'm seriously considering switching back to the Dreamwear.

[@clsferguson]

I'm with you.

[@pcjcusa1118]

You are not in the minority. My provider said that almost half of their n30i users switched to the p30i because the n30i "upgrade" was pathetic. Major leaks. Resmed doesn't care, though. They make more money on the p30i and the new n30i is cheaper to manufacture.

[@Freecpapadvice]

May have been too small of a cushion if it is pinching in on the sides.

[@riknbkr330]

I've used the N30i, but with the older cushion. Very much a wind blower as you described and was not happy with that. Went back to the P30i pillows that have that airquiet dampner, much better. But, those have been overtaken by the F&P Brevida, a mask I really, really like now.

Thanks for this info. I must say I am not a fan of the new pillows. They seem to stretch out. I find myself having to readjust the straps just about daily.I called ResMed to enter a complaint and found I was not the only with this problem. I understand the softer pillow is more comfortable, but I sometimes find myself waking in the middle of the to tighten straps. They suggested I contact a local supplier. I did and they don't have any other pillows for this mask. What I love about it is the hose on top of my head. It doesn't get in my way while sleeping. Any suggestions?

[@zepladyamanda]

I've had my Resmed N30i from the beginning of this journey in August 2022. I've dealt with leaks (avg 30l recently, even after changing to a new one every 2 weeks) I religiously clean everything, so that wasn't the cause. I've also had terrible nightly congestion and followed every rec imaginable. I finally started using Ponaris nose drops, which helped, but not enough. I'm burying the lead here, so here's my helpful comment. I watched your reviews on the F&P Brevida and Evora and settled on the Evora. It's ordered and on the way. Thanks for that because I have a Pacemaker and can't use magnets . I NOTICED in your Evora video the opening is free of the nostril bridge. I took cuticle scissors and removed it! VOILA! Sleeping average 7 hrs ( has been 2hrs at a time with me ripping off the mask for all the above reasons) and my leaks are averaging 8L/ min! Thanks for the great video! If I could share a photo of my 30i pillow with the bridge cut out, I would.

[@lazlo09]

I have the Dreamwear "version" of this mask but no matter the pressure or epr setting i always feel like im breathing through a straw. I wonder if this mask would make me feel the same way as it too has thin air lines on the side of the head. On the other hand it seems to have more vents than the Dreamwear so maybe it feel less restricted when breathing with it?

[@roshill2010]

Man I watched your older video right after I already had it delivered yesterday. Than I finally opened the packet just to try it out. And was surprised to see a completely different design. And then youtube just recommend this video at night. Glad I didn't return it. You should add a notice on the older ones thar they are obsolete now. Going for my first night with the resmed 10. Kinda nervous hope all goes well :).

This is the mask I wear. I ordered a replacement cushion from Amazon and got the original. NOPE. It (the 2021 n30i cushion) does leak a lot less than the dreamwear version, but the dreamwear is my backup. I'm a side/tummy sleeper and, for the most part, have learned how to smoosh my face into my pillow to prevent leakage.

[@groove9tube]

I have tried the new nasal cushion but find the N30i frame to still be less comfortable than the Dreamwear nasal. But the N30i does have pretty good strap so I use it on my Dreamwear (which has a flimsy one and needs to be replaced more frequently than allowed by insurance).

[@JamesADoty]

I just started using a CPAP machine on the 8th of this month and I was sent a ResMed Airsense 11 with the updated N30i headgear and nose pillow. So, I don't have anything to compare it to. I'm using the small nose pillow which was recommened by the sizing chart that came with the headgear. I seem to get a lot of leakage and I'm playing with adjusting the fit of my headgear in an attempt to correct it. Again, I'm new to this, but I find that my nose really hurts when I wake up in the morning. I'm hoping my nose toughens up before too much longer. I'm told my body will adjust but I find that my mouth plops open when i sleep and air rushes out of my mouth and wakes me up. I'm trying to train myself to not let this happen and I've made a small amount of improvement since my first night. But I'm still waking up due to mouth breathing. This is just an observation as new comer. I think the headgear is comfortable. I thought I'd be bothered by it but I'm not. Though with my headgear on I look like the worst Teletubby ever. :)

I loved the ResMed N30i for 3 years before they screwed it up by re-designing the nasal cushions. In 15 months of trying to find a way to keep the "new" cushions from leaking, I've given up. Building and modifying headgear helped a little, but the softer cushion with the smelly little plastic insert filter thingy just doesn't work for me. I could not get my leak numbers under 20 for the life of me. My partner was unhappy with the louder hissing of the always leaking cushions, and helped me call around to see if I could find a source for the original N30i cushions. No joy. I'd already abandoned the PR Dreamware mask when I'd discovered the N30i, so not going back there. Now going through the mask discovery thing I got very tired of back in 2013. The new generation of "full-face" Hybrid masks looks promising.

I may have been the first person that pointed out this update to you on the Dreamwear nasal mask review comments (changed my user name since then), but yes, the new version of the n30i is much better. More flexible and quieter, much better. Personally, I'm waiting on the Bleep Sleep Eclipse that I pre-ordered. Can't wait to try it, no headgear and magnetic attachment of the air tubes makes it a great possibility for me.

[@TheKastle]

I have used both the Respironics Dreamwear and the Resmed N30i and I prefer the N30i. I haven't tried the new cushions because didn't they existed until recently and haven't used the new pillows. Haven't had any problems with leakage that i have noticed with the old cushions but I agree the vents are loud. I did made a discovery yesterday when I got my new AirSense 11 that was rather surprising to me. I had used the DreamStation 1 for 3 years and noticed a lot of noise from the air blowing thru the sides and thought that was normal, with both masks. Boy was I completely wrong. The first thing I noticed with the AirSense 11 was there was no noise on the side tubes, game changer. I don't know if anybody has noticed this with the Dreamstation 1. I just purchased the new N30i pillows.

[@MountainDiva]

Hey Jason…just recently I pulled out my N30i that was in the mask reject pile in the closet. Did three things…first switched from the original cushion to the the new QuietVent cushion…it is very comfortable. Second, the small cushion was too small and the medium was too big. However, the small-wide is perfect (my own version of Goldilocks and the Three Bears). Lastly what I didn’t like originally was the ResMed headgear as it slipped and read the DreamWear headgear works on the P30i/N30i frames. It works brilliantly and stays in place. Oh…wearing wide headband keeps the frame from ripping my hair out (pretty damned important). Now I’m using the Bleep, N30i, and Evora nasal in a rotation. Was recently given a DreamWear nasal cushion mask from a friend and the cushions leaked a lot. It was comfortable but the leaking was a dealbreaker for me. Hope all is well!

Try working out what is going on when you are half asleep and the front filter falls out of the mask. Trying to find the old type online!

Do you accept insurance?

[@luigiprovencher]

Can you sleep with your mouth open or exhale from your mouth with the nasal masks on?

[@theredheadsaidNYC]

It depends. If you have trained yourself to keep the "separation" (the usual way is the tongue not he roof of the mouth method), then if your mouth ops open, it won't necessarily break the seal. but if you do exhale from the mouth it will break the seal (and might wake you u with the "pop")

[@lindaandrews8039]

I don't like the hose coming off the top of the head, either, I prefer it coming out the front because I'm a dedicated side sleeper. I don't use OSCAR, I use myAir; OSCAR isn't available for Android. When I started using CPAP, going on three years ago now, I used a nasal mask (AirFit N20). It's a good mask, but then my pressure was increased and the nasal mask just didn't cut it anymore so I switched to a full-face mask. I've been using the AirFit F30 for over a year now, and I really like it.

[@BlondieSL]

You mention an App, OSCAR. Does this work with a ResMed AirSense 11 machine and if so, how does it connect? We're new to all this, so I don't know if there's an issue connecting OSCAR when the machine is being monitored remotely via its " modem" ???? I deleted my comment asking what the difference between N30i and P30i was. N30i is just a cushion while P30i indicates the PILLOW type (with buds that go up the nose a bit). I figured it out. What was tested with was the Pillow type, so P30i would be the one we'd have to get.

Heros are remember but Cpap legends never die!

[@kathleenthomson3277]

do you know that Resmed will void your warranty IF you use SoClean ?

[@Freecpapadvice]

Yes. They make that pretty clear on their website.

[@retiredbigal1]

Hi LL, love your vids and always suggest people just starting CPAP to subscibe to you. Currently using P30i on my older cradle. I have used the older N30i on this same cradle. SO, can I use this newer N30i on the same cradle? Thanks for ALL you do for us CPAP users.

[@eiremerald]

I use the pillows version of this mask (P30) and it's the best thing for me. No leaks and no getting tangled in the hose. My main complaint is that Resmed doesn't sell the little valve/filter part separately as they want you to buy a whole new cushion every time, which is ridiculous. The little holes in the valve start to turn a dark color after awhile, so I worry about getting it clean enough.

[@virginiaandcarolynporterfi4299]

You can buy the nasal cushions for this mask on Amazon.

[@eiremerald]

@@virginiaandcarolynporterfi4299 Yes, but why replace the whole cushion when you just need the filter? It’s a waste of silicone.

[@WakeUpAmerican000s]

Two things you can do with the crazy "quiet" filters on the ResMed nasal masks. First, be sure you're washing the nasal cushion every morning with soap (I use Dawn dish soap) and water to remove skin oils etc. It helps to have a CPAP tube brush (buy a set on line for about $15 for a long hose-cleaning brush and a short mask-cleaning brush that last for years) The brush bristles help clean gunk out of the small air holes. Use the brush to clean the side-tubes on the mask frame as well. (1x per week at least) Also, I have a water-pik device for cleaning my teeth which I use 2-3 times/month to squirt high-pressure water into the air holes on my mask and the mask elbow. To disinfect & keep the smells in your mask from getting bad, I soak the little plastic filter thingys, or the entire nose cushion, in 50-50 vinegar/water solution for a couple hours every week when I clean the mask frame tubes with the brush. There is a forum on www.apneaboard.com with more ideas, like how to replace the white material in the little filter, etc. I generally replace the nose cushions every 8-10 weeks as it gets stretched & leaky, but by regular cleaning you can mitigate the build-up of yucky gunk that turns the filter color dark.

[@theredheadsaidNYC]

I'm trying the N30i. It's looking like the cushion is too small (I have a wide nose and it looks like I need a small-wide). It may be compressing my nostrils, but beyond that I dont' feel like I can exhale fully with the new "diffuser" port and I get lightheaded. (It's not CPAP lightheadedness, I don't get lightheaded with a full face mask). I have seen a lot of people complaining about this exhalation issue. It's a bummer as it otherwise seems to fit. I'm annoyed that when I did the sizing/fitting appointment at the DME they didnt' offer me the Dreamwear nasal cushion to try (I didnt' know it existed at the time). Finding the right mask/cushion is exhausting.

[@brendono]

Have tried both N30i masks. Returned the original mask and got a bulky full face mask which I have used for the last couple of years, as I didn't like it. Just got the new one a few days ago to replace a full face mask based upon your review here. Not disappointed. Still working it out and getting a bit of pain around the nostrils when waking up. Overall, I already prefer it to the full face version now.

[@kissezamour]

I have the new one and I’m new to it. I thought I loved it but after weeks it’s starting to irritate my nostrils and I’m finding more leakage than before. Thank you for the Great video and tips!
