Comparisons

Torn between two masks? Put them side by side.

Factual comparisons built on the manufacturers' documents, then enriched by reviews from patients who wore both.

vsAirFit F20 vs F40Two ResMed full face masks that cover the nose and mouth. The F20 is the classic full face mask, with a cushion resting on the bridge of the nose. The F40 is a compact full face mask that sits under the nose and leaves the bridge free, with a vent declared quieter.Read the comparison
vsAirFit F40 vs F30iTwo compact ResMed full face masks that sit under the nose. The real difference is the tube: in front of the face on the F40, on top of the head on the F30i, which matters a lot if you sleep on your side or move around.Read the comparison
vsAirFit N30i vs DreamWearTwo under-the-nose nasal masks with the tube on top of the head: the same idea from ResMed and from Philips. The AirFit N30i is documented as magnet-free with a QuietAir vent (14 dBA declared at one meter, versus 18 for the DreamWear). The DreamWear, for its part, comes in three frame sizes and four cushion sizes.Read the comparison
vsAirFit N20 vs N30iTwo ResMed nasal masks, for nose breathers. The N20 is the classic nasal mask, with a cushion on the bridge of the nose and magnetic clips. The N30i sits under the nose, without magnets, with the tube on top of the head.Read the comparison
vsAirFit F20 vs AirTouch F20The same full face mask, two cushions: silicone on the AirFit F20, memory foam on the AirTouch F20. Parts are interchangeable, so the choice is mostly about how it feels on the skin and how often you replace the cushion.Read the comparison
vsAirFit P10 vs P30iTwo ResMed nasal pillows masks: the pillows sit at the nostrils, with nothing on the bridge of the nose. The P10 connects the tube in front of the face and comes in four pillow sizes, with a QuietAir vent declared at 13 dBA at one meter. The P30i routes the tube over the top of the head, with three pillow sizes, two frame sizes and 14 dBA declared.Read the comparison
vsAirFit N30 vs N30iTwo ResMed nasal masks that sit under the nose, with nothing on the bridge and no magnets. The N30 connects the tube at the front of the mask and weighs 45 g. The N30i routes it over the top of the head and comes in two frame sizes. Declared noise at one meter: 18 dBA for the N30 with the QuietAir frame, 14 dBA for the N30i.Read the comparison
vsAirFit N20 vs AirTouch N20The same nasal mask, two cushions: InfinitySeal silicone on the AirFit N20, UltraSoft memory foam on the AirTouch N20. Frame, three-size headgear and magnetic clips are identical. The real difference is upkeep: according to ResMed, the foam cushion cannot be washed and is replaced every month.Read the comparison
vsAirFit N30i vs DreamWispTwo nasal masks with the tube connecting on top of the head and the cushion sitting under the nose. The AirFit N30i is documented as magnet-free, at 14 dBA at one meter with the QuietAir vent, in four cushion sizes. The DreamWisp uses magnetic clips, which Philips contraindicates when the patient or someone close by during use has an implant, declares 18.7 dBA and offers five cushion sizes.Read the comparison
vsAirSense 11 vs AirMiniThe bedside machine against the travel machine, both auto-adjusting from 4 to 20 cmH2O. The AirSense 11 weighs 1130 g with its HumidAir 11 tub, is set from a touchscreen and sends data over the cellular network. The AirMini weighs 300 g and has no water tub: humidification comes from a HumidX cartridge placed in the connector or the mask, and everything is set from the app. Declared noise: 27 dBA against 29 dBA. The AirMini only works with a short list of masks.Read the comparison

Before comparing two models

Nasal, nasal pillows or full face?

The type of mask matters more than the brand. Here is what sets them apart, in one sentence each.

Full face
Covers the nose and mouth, resting on the bridge of the nose. The classic choice for mouth breathers.
See the 6 masks
Compact full face, under the nose
Covers the mouth and sits under the nose, without touching the bridge. Lighter on the face.
See the 4 masks
Nasal
Covers the nose only. For nose breathers who keep their mouth closed.
See the 13 masks
Nasal pillows
Two soft tips at the entrance of the nostrils. The most discreet, for nose breathers.
