[@DuzeeDesigns]

I just discovered the ResMed AirFit N30 Mask, using the cushion. I tried 8 different mask and finally this one I can sleep on my side with no leaks or hardware in the way. I have a really small sensitive nose and this cushion in Small fits perfectly. It almost feels like I'm wearing nothing. No more leaks, sore nose or mask marks on my cheeks. Thank you for sharing all about this mask! You're the man!

[@jennymccrary1840]

How often do you change the nose cushion for the N30? How will I know when to swap it out for a new one? Thanks for any help!

[@DuzeeDesigns]

@@jennymccrary1840 I have a set of seven nose cushions and change it our every night. I wash my mask, hose, water chamber and nose cushions every Sunday. Living in Florida you have to stay on top of cleaning or can easily get mold from all the humidity in the air. Also with this type of mask I use a Velcro strap with clip on the hose close to the attachment of the mask to clip onto my top shirt, to help hose from pulling downward on the mask, keeping the nose cushion nice and snug and in place.

[@joycecruz693]

Hi, I’m new to this sleep apnea thing and I don’t know anything about how the mask works. I should receive my machine in a few days. What do you all think would be the best for me? I’m a back and side sleeper, mostly sleep on the right side and I don’t know if I can tolerate having a big mask on all night! I do have to get up several times in the night to go potty. So I want the best but also the least complicated. Any and all advice is appreciated, thank you 😊

[@cheryldep6316]

Thank you so much for this video. Last night was my first night using a CPAP machine. When I had my sleep study completed last month, they gave me the N30 to try. When I received my ResMed machine this week, the supplier sent me the P10. Although I have not tried sleeping with the P10 yet, it does seem that the cushion of the N30 is more comfortable which is why I decided to try it for my first night. I thought the squishy cradle of the N30 was pretty comfortable and I didn't have any leaks around my nose. By the way, my air pressure is about 10. During my CPAP Zoom training with my Respiratory Therapist this week mentioned, he did not mention the diffuser in the front of the mask to me so last night when I felt air coming out of the front of the N30 where the tubing attaches, I was worried that I had a leak. Glad to know after watching your video that this is normal. I also wasn't told about the adjustable strap feature of the N30. I have long hair and felt like the strap was sliding a bit in the back or my head during the night, so I will try tightening up the strap tonight. My husband did tell me that he was pleasantly surprised how quiet the machine and mask were. So he is happy that he will be getting a good night sleep now that I have my machine. Thank you so much for the video. I found it to be extremely helpful. Cheers from Illinois.

Got my n30 last week and surprisingly it works pretty well. I had been on resmed Mirage Fx for years. I could never get a good seal with under the nose pillow. This one seals.

[@llusion5907]

Sometimes subconsciously i take this mask off while i sleep but taping the sides by the cheeks helped tremendously. Perfect for side sleeping

[@goat2503]

Your tip solved my life problems, thank you! I taped the sides of this mask and it’s made it by far the most comfortable mask with minimal leak and I can actually sleep the night through with it

Thank you for showing in detail how to take it apart and clean it. Very helpful.

[@prayingforhealing4039]

The P10 was one of the most uncomfortable nasal pillows I have ever used. It pushes towards your nose and causes me pain. The strap was useless, it slide around, and didn't secure it on my face the way I hoped. I have the new airfit p30i and it is as good as the swift fx which is being discontinued. It's a little bit more of a mask, it's got some bulk but it is comfortable. I was getting discouraged as the swift fx is the only mask I have ever liked. I hope they keep the airfit p30i for some time. don't get me wrong, I still prefer the swift fx, as it is simple, works, and a very small footprint.

Nephew Nicko, a semi-geezer from Canada here. I enjoy your videos. I would enjoy them even more if you had Canada-specific discount weblinks. Canada, like Australia suffers from shipping and handling surcharges (and weak currencies?) so ordering locally means double the US price.

[@brz757]

Supplier sent me a P10 try out and it came with the same adjustable strap as the N30 mask I have. N30 is a little more comfortable and is technically quiter but it leaks so much when I roll to my side that on the whole its louder in my case. P10 gives me a more stable seal and my AHI is slightly lower. If I slept alone I'd probably give the N30 priority lol.

[@diannedugan]

I also love the F and P Evora for the same reasons. So light. Easy on and off. But I want to give this a try as an alternative. I have learned to keep looking to find the best, but honestly--- when you look at the reality--- having anything hang off your face all night is just plain awkward!!!

My main problem with the P10 is that often the de-humidifier gets wonky and stops working properly. Often, the temperature of the air would transition from warm to cold. If I am inhaling cold air for more than 3 hours straight, I feel an internal rupture/bruising of my nose. How does one prevent this without having to buy the N30?

[@thebiggestcheese54]

Always great info! Thanks mate.

[@CPAPReviews]

No problem 👍

[@Richard-ck5zk]

I've just began using a cpap, and was given this mask and also an airfit F30 to try. The N30 I've found really hard to breathe in and out with, is this normal? I've gone back to the F30 full face both times I've used it because the pressure breathing out is too strong.

[@wendywelton5256]

Will Res Med ever come back with the Air Sence N10 mask system? It was theee best mask system! It was like wearing nothing! 😢 I desperately miss it!!

[@lisajessop6068]

I hate the straps, pillow is fine. The straps end up behind my head and pinch my hair pull down my ears. If I put it underneath my hair the buckle is like underneath my skull. It also feels too tight and gives me a headache. I'm not sure what to do

[@sleepyccs]

If you wet the cloth strap and let it air dry...it will shrink back to the original size.

[@eat_my_boloz3422]

N30 is so much easier to breathe than the p10. Nasal pillow is too flimbsy so it leaks often which is massively annoying. I don't find the N30 to be quieter but it does give you the freedom to breathe which the P10 doesn't.

[@CPAPReviews]

Thanks for the great feedback friend. Much appreciated 🤝

[@cwoosh]

I really like your content! I found you by watching Lanky Lefty. I just got the P10 a few days ago. It comes with an adjustable strap with a regular flat slide through clip. I can’t feel it on my head bc the clip is thin and soft. I ordered a medium but I don’t know whether I got the wrong size or not (I can’t find the link to your “sizer”) but it bothers my nose and the insides of my nostrils burn from the air! I have the humidity up to a 7 and I have a heated hose, ResMed 10 machine, max pressure 14 min pressure 10. So now I’m off to look for a different mask, ugh 😑

[@plastic_manc]

i have massive head and my p10 strap is still same length, no problem with that whatsoever (10 months with me)

[@LIBERTYVIEWS]

Wonderful lightweight little gem! But I'm having problems with the N30 blocking my breathing with nasal passage swelling when the pressure starts to increase on my AirSense 11 Auto. I maxed out the humidity and it helped - but just for one night. The next night [all controls same] the swelling came back again and I had to go back to my F&P Vitera FFM. Any other ideas? TIA

[@louismunoz2325]

Thanks for your video. I'm sure this will sound like a stupid question, but if one has severe sleep apnea, will a mask like this, only going over your nose but not also your mouth, be enough? I'm thinking more in terms of how other people might experience the night, i.e. if I'm on a bus or airplane, with others very close by. I guess that's the second part of my question, how does this work for that kind of traveling, and minimizing sound that others will hear? MANY THANKS!!

[@dawntate6723]

I was told when I got my nasal pillow and equipment to soak it weekly in vinegar and water for 30 minutes. Is this getting everything clean enough?

[@CPAPReviews]

Hi Dawn, i haven't heard of this vinegar trick before. Does it make the mask smell funny? Thanks for sharing

[@dawntate6723]

@@CPAPReviews No, not at all. You put your hoses, mask, and such in the bathroom sink. Fill it up with water and add one cup vinegar. Leave it for 30 minutes and rinse with hot water. It doesn’t leave any funky smell.

Great tip about cleaning the P10 vents with toothbrush.

Hopefully that will solve the problem.

[@myriamfernandez8020]

I'm a new cpap user. How do you get used to it? I'm having troubles because, even though I''m a closed mouth sleeper, I find myself pressing my tongue and teeth while I sleep so the air pressure doesn't go to my mouth. And now I'm experiencing tooth pressure ache 🤦🏽‍♀️. What am I doing wrong?

[@CPAPReviews]

Hi Myriam, you'er not doing anything wrong. I was exactly the same! Took me honestly a month to get reasonably comfortable but even then some nights i would just take it off as it was all a bit hard. It honestly just takes time and effort / practice. I found that keeping the pressure at a set low pressure for the first few weeks really helped increase my lung function then over time i would gradually increase it as my breathing got stronger. If all else fails try a full face mask :). Cheers. Nick

The N30i mask doesn’t irritate my nostrils, but is bulkier on my head and seems to slip around a lot on my head when I turn over.

Thank you for the detailed review. Are the cushions of the p10 and n30 interchangeable?

[@techshabby0001]

I know this question was asked a year ago, but I'll answer it in case anyone new comes along with the same question... The cushions/pillows are not interchangeable between frames. A P10 will only fit on a P10 frame. An N30 nasal cushion will only fit an N30 frame. However, the headgear, the stretchy band, can be used on both. I even asked the sales rep when I was ordering if the headgear was interchangeable between these two and she said no. Not true! The answer is a definitive yes on the headgear.

[@CPAPReviews]

Hi Larry, yeah it's probably not a bad option mate but might be better off getting the P30i mask and then perhaps just getting the N30i cushion that also fits into the P30i frame. The P30i should give you a better mask seal. Both are great masks and highly rated by customers but like any mask, probably worth just doing a week trial with one to see how you find it. Otherwise, you can always on-sell it on facebook marketplace / ebay etc if it doesn't suit and get back most of your initial outlay. Cheers

I've used the P10 successfully for about two years. In between I tried a couple of other masks but always came back to the P10.

I tried the N30 last year and it was OK but I tried the N30 again recently and I really like it this time around. Four days later I find that it is blowing air into my eyes and I am getting some dry eye problems. Anyone have a problem like this and/or a solution?
