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 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.
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 😊
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.
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

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.
Thank you Nick! This is the Hack I needed I will be looking at keeping my P10 and changing the strap to N 30 you are awesome Angie from lucky Perth, Western Australia keep safe
Have you ever tried a small microphone on your jacket. The audio in this room has kind of an "echo" effect. If this is your bathroom, the audio is bouncing off the walls.
I've used the P10 for years now and I got a replacement P10 recently and it came with the new style headgear strap like the N30 has with the adjustable buckle.
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.

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!!!
I agree 100% It's time for someone to come up with a new therapy that doesn't involve a mask. Thanks for sharing your experience with the FP Evora. Have a lovely day. Nick
This nasal pillow material stretches out during the night and leaks continuously after a few hours of use. There is no amount of adjusting to get it to seal after that. It’s just done for the night.
This was my second mask i was given. My only complaint about this mask was the strap. Was too flimsy, & kept moving on my long hair. It kept coming loose from my face. So just waiting on my new mask to arrive
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?
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 😑
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
Great tip about cleaning the P10 vents with toothbrush. I was wondering why after I getting up middle of the night for a nocturnal bathroom visit that I had trouble breathing after putting the mask back on but could still feel the air pressure when I moved the mask a bit. Hopefully that will solve the problem.
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!!
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.
@@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.
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
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?
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
@@CPAPReviews will do. I'll keep using it as long as I can. Sometimes I just take it off at 3 or 4 am so I can get some sleep. Thank you so much for responding! Greetings from Puerto Rico!
Same here Myriam. Hello Puerto Rico from Batesville, Arkansas in the United States. I take mine off EVERY night in my sleep & don't even know. I haven't seen much improvement symptom wise & I surely feel more exhausted from wrestling the mask all night. I've tried pillows for nasal & am now on the cushion nasal N 30. I'm on my 3rd kind of strap which is a halo chinstrap & I'm literally at this moment sitting here @1:30 a.m. still trying to figure out how to make the nasal apparatus fit onto/into the halo strap. It's like trying to put a square peg into a round hole. I'm so very frustrated!!! Thanks for sharing your question. I'll definitely be following to see if I might could use any of the comments. Have a blessed evening or should I say night now. Good luck to u on ur CPAP journey❤
I have the N30 and have since I was diagnosed in August 2020..I'm finding a harder and harder time sleeping on my side.. minimal leaks..any ideas on how to fix this? I want sleep again!!
my P10 looks only superficially like the one in your video. The tube is different and I don't have the mesh vents. I bought mine in 2020 so may be an older model?
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.
Hi Nick, I have the N30 i which I find quite noisy and air through exhalation port in front of cradle to be a strong stream. Should I get the N30 instead? You seem to think it is quieter. How do these two compare regarding exhalation?
Hi Rita, i did hear that they recently changed the cradle section on the N30i so that it has a diffuser like the p30i so maybe look into that :-). Kind regards. Nicko
I have the P10 mask and the N30i mask. I like aspects of both. I find the P10 pillows hurt my nostrils after only two or three days. 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. Is it possible to swap out the N30 pillows on the P10 frame or do I need to buy the entire N30 set?
Hi Nick I recently tried to purchase replacement nose pieces (in Adelaide )for the n30 and was told only come in packs of 3 including all the sizes (SW, S, &M) @ $200…. ridiculous really. Is there anywhere I can just purchase the one size being S ? Surely yes ?
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. For me, the P10 can whistle some nights and adjusting it when half asleep is annoying to me. 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?
The p10 has given me dry eyes. I think it's because the pillows stretch my nostrils out. I switch to the small one and it almost goes entirely inside my nose!
Hi, does the P10 make a lot of noise during normal use? Or only when it leaks/goes out of alignment? I've tried a few different sizes for the P10 and I've readjusted it a lot, but it still makes quite a bit of noise when I inhale/exhale. I'm wondering if that's to be expected.
Nick, I have a full beard and mustache. How does the N30 work with the stache and is there something you would recommend in its place? With the cost of these things, I dont want one that leaks.
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
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.

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

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?
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
@@CPAPReviews will do. I'll keep using it as long as I can. Sometimes I just take it off at 3 or 4 am so I can get some sleep. Thank you so much for responding! Greetings from Puerto Rico!
Same here Myriam. Hello Puerto Rico from Batesville, Arkansas in the United States. I take mine off EVERY night in my sleep & don't even know. I haven't seen much improvement symptom wise & I surely feel more exhausted from wrestling the mask all night. I've tried pillows for nasal & am now on the cushion nasal N 30. I'm on my 3rd kind of strap which is a halo chinstrap & I'm literally at this moment sitting here @1:30 a.m. still trying to figure out how to make the nasal apparatus fit onto/into the halo strap. It's like trying to put a square peg into a round hole. I'm so very frustrated!!! Thanks for sharing your question. I'll definitely be following to see if I might could use any of the comments. Have a blessed evening or should I say night now. Good luck to u on ur CPAP journey❤
I have the N30 and have since I was diagnosed in August 2020..I'm finding a harder and harder time sleeping on my side.. minimal leaks..any ideas on how to fix this? I want sleep again!!
Is it comfortable for higher pressures (10 to 20)?
my P10 looks only superficially like the one in your video. The tube is different and I don't have the mesh vents. I bought mine in 2020 so may be an older model?
The straps seem to slide around throughout the night. They don’t stay where I place them. Any suggestions on how to keep them in place?
Trying to make the air sense mask seal. How tight does it really need to be??
How can I use a nasal pillow with HME? And if I can't, then what masks are compatible with HME?
Thank you for the detailed review. Are the cushions of the p10 and n30 interchangeable?
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.
Hi Nick,
I have the N30 i which I find quite noisy and air through exhalation port in front of cradle to be a strong stream.
Should I get the N30 instead? You seem to think it is quieter. How do these two compare regarding exhalation?
Hi Rita, i did hear that they recently changed the cradle section on the N30i so that it has a diffuser like the p30i so maybe look into that :-). Kind regards. Nicko
Can I connect this slimmer extension tube to the normal 22m tube without changing the settings?
Can the n30 nasal tubing connect to the Resmed airsense 10 larger diameter tubing?
THANK YOU!!
Hi Kay. Very welcome. Have a great day :)

the quiet air filter has turned black and theres no way to replace it without paying out the arse for a whole new mask.
I have the P10 mask and the N30i mask. I like aspects of both. I find the P10 pillows hurt my nostrils after only two or three days. 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. Is it possible to swap out the N30 pillows on the P10 frame or do I need to buy the entire N30 set?
How do you replace the filters? Or once dirty do you get another Mask?
How do the left side stsy on without sliding pff
Will it work on Phillip
Do you need another hose that goes onto the unit
Hi Joanna, yes you will still need the CPAP tube to connect to the mask tube :-)

Hi Nick
I recently tried to purchase replacement nose pieces (in Adelaide )for the n30 and was told only come in packs of 3 including all the sizes
(SW, S, &M) @ $200…. ridiculous really. Is there anywhere I can just purchase the one size being S ? Surely yes ?
Hi, did you try ordering from your medical supply co.? Some give 6 masks in one size.
So what was the hack??
Using the N30 mask strap on the P10. Cheers
@@CPAPReviews thank you
I need a GOOD chin strap-do you know of a good one.
Knightsbridge is a very good chinstrap ,but i mouth tape with somnifix With a nasal mask .
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. For me, the P10 can whistle some nights and adjusting it when half asleep is annoying to me.
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?
The p10 has given me dry eyes. I think it's because the pillows stretch my nostrils out. I switch to the small one and it almost goes entirely inside my nose!
Hi, does the P10 make a lot of noise during normal use? Or only when it leaks/goes out of alignment? I've tried a few different sizes for the P10 and I've readjusted it a lot, but it still makes quite a bit of noise when I inhale/exhale. I'm wondering if that's to be expected.
Nick, I have a full beard and mustache. How does the N30 work with the stache and is there something you would recommend in its place? With the cost of these things, I dont want one that leaks.
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

The noise is driving me crazy
you are right its so so quiet
Thanks Mark, appreciate the feedback. Nicko
This video does not show how to Remove the mask from the hose rate this video 1.5
The parts that sit on my nostrils kill me! Its more painful than a blind pimple on the rim of my nostrils. Absolute agony.
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.
Thanks for the great feedback friend. Much appreciated 🤝
tks. with no nasal pillows that go up your nose, does the p10 have a seal problem at higher pressures. I can assume it'll leak more
This info is very useful. It is easy to follow. Now, I can change the cushion. Soon, I will learn more. Thanks.
