Selecting the Right CPAP Mask
A simpler way to approach mask selection - Choose the right mask the first time round!
CPAP masks come in all shapes and sizes and finding the right sleep apnea mask for your own level of comfort is essential in achieving successful CPAP therapy.
As we are all unique there is not one single mask type that suits everyone. But by understanding your specific sleep habits, facial profile, and individual breathing needs, you will be able to find the right type of CPAP mask that will ensure your treatment is successful.
With the right therapy options, you should notice a substantial boost to your energy levels by getting a better night’s sleep.
To help make it easier to understand the key benefits of each mask, and find the best suit for your needs, ResMed has introduced these new mask categories.
Minimalist category
Small. Light. Simple.
For many CPAP users, the deciding factor is simple – they want less mask on their face. Our minimalist category features masks that are small, lightweight and discreet.
The AirFit F30, N30 & P10 are a great option for those wanting something that won’t affect their ability to read or watch TV in bed.

Freedom category
Sleep and move comfortably.
Masks in our freedom category feature a top-of-head tube connection, keeping the air tubing out of sight and out of the way.
The AirFit F30i masks enable active sleepers to comfortably move around at night and sleep in many positions, including on their back, side or stomach.

Ultra Soft category
Patented memory foam offers unique comfort.
Mask discomfort is the top reason CPAP users stop therapy.1 Our Ultra Soft category is designed to change that.
The AirTouch F20 CPAP masks feature a memory foam cushion, which is softer than silicone and may lessen the potential for red marks and irritation, particularly for people with facial hair or sensitive skin.

Universal Fit category
Classic designs that fit nearly every face.
The hardest thing about our universal fit category is finding a face it doesn’t fit. With a fit range of 96% for AirFit F20 and 99% for AirFit N202-5, you can reach for these masks with confidence.
The AirFit F20 and AirFit N20 are also designed to perform well across a wide range of therapy pressures.
