Simplus Full Face CPAP Mask by Fisher & Paykel
A testament to Fisher & Paykel’s intensive research and development, the Simplus Full Face Mask revolutionizes mask design by combining simplicity with optimal performance.
The mask consists of three key elements: the RollFit Seal, the ErgoForm Headgear, and the Easy Frame. All of these work together to deliver a superior seal and long-lasting comfort.
A one-piece seal that rolls along the nasal bridge, the RollFit full face cushion reduces pressure on the nose. It features the Integrated Stability Panels for a leak-free seal and the Advanced Air Diffuser for quiet performance.
With stretch and non-stretch panels and five adjustable straps, the ErgoForm Headgear provides a stable, breathable, and personalized fit.
Holding the mask together is the Easy Frame, which serves as a low-profile yet sturdy base that offers a clear line of sight. For maximum freedom of movement, the elbow rotates to prevent tube drag and maintain a secure seal.

The Simplus is a very comfortable full-face mask. The cushion is a soft, smooth silicone with a welcoming feel when put on your face. The RollFit design of the cushion will not allow you to over tighten the headgear which prevents the mask from putting too much pressure on the bridge of the nose.
The headgear is soft for comfort but durable for long-term use and cleaning. The height adjustment on top of the head allows for the cushion to be pulled up or down as required for the perfect position.
The Simplus is also a very quiet full-face mask that gives the sound-sensitive user or bed partner a good night’s sleep. The ball-and-socket style elbow keeps the hose from tugging down on the mask, preventing possible leaks.
This mask is available in a fit pack, as well, eliminating any insecurities about ordering the correct size. My clients report that the Simplus made the hunt for a comfortable full-face mask so easy.
Daily cleaning: cushion, frame, elbow, swivel
- Disassemble the mask.
- Soak all parts in warm water with mild soap for up to ten minutes.
- Rinse each part thoroughly under running water, squeezing out excess water from the headgear.
- Air dry all parts away from direct sunlight. Lay the headgear flat to dry, or you can hang to dry.
The silicone cushion, however, may need to be replaced more frequently, typically every 2 to 3 months. Silicone naturally softens over time, which can affect its ability to create a good seal.
- Gently pull the mask away from your face and then release it, allowing the cushion to inflate and settle comfortably around your nose and mouth.
- Make sure to clean both your mask cushion and your face, as facial oils can interfere with the seal.
- Ensure you're wearing your F&P Simplus according to the fitting instructions in the user guide or refer to the F&P myMask app. The way you put on the mask significantly impacts the seal.
- Adjust your headgear as necessary.
- Try a larger or smaller cushion or headgear size.
- Replace any worn out mask parts.
If your CPAP mask still leaks after following all those troubleshooting steps, a different mask style may be a better option. Feel free to contact RespShop for assistance in choosing a different mask.
2. I have a pacemaker, is there any magnetic parts in it?
I am very pleased with the Simplus full face mask I purchased from Respshop. What a comfortable mask and that is not what one expects from a full face mask. The cushion is soft, smooth silicone and feels good when put on your face. I had a habit of overtightening my previous mask's headgear. When I learned about the roll fit design of the cushion not allowing me to overtighten the headgear, I was sold. The bridge of my nose really feels better now that I can't cause too much pressure on it from overtightening.
The headgear is also soft and comfortable and the height adjustment on top of the head allows the cushion to be pulled up or down for the perfect position for me.
My partner loves how quiet the Simplus full face mask is and is enjoying a good night's sleep just like me! I can roll over without feeling any tugging because of the ball and socket style elbow on the frame. No leaks waking either one of us up now!
The bonus of the mask coming in a fit pack made it even easier to try initially. I didn't have to worry about ordering the right size.
Absolutely the most comfortable full face mask I have ever used!
Respshop really has gone above and beyond too help me, I am a seasoned CPAP user and my old unit recently burn up, Ashley Macey hooked me up with a MD that helped me immediately get a new prescription and gave me a GREAT deal on a new Airsense 10 unit! I had gone round and round with my medical insurance company for over a month, Ashley had me an appointment in 3 days and even shipped my CPAP the same day! I work for a large electrical manufacturer that follows the same sales creed, Great service, great people! I highly recommend this company! Regards, Terry Chastain
Thank you so much for the wonderful review Terry! We will be happy to share your kind words with Ashley, please feel free to also leave us a google review as well!
I genuinely think F&P is the best mask brand out there. I've tried countless Resmed and Respironics masks because they're the "biggest" brands for CPAP but I've struggled with so many leaks, discomfort, and bad durability masks that I knew I had to try other brands. F&P doesn't disappoint. Their masks are very durable and comfortable and I like the Simplus mask a lot. I travel a lot for business so I am glad to have found this lightweight mask perfect to bring with my travel CPAP.
The headgear of this mask is definitely my favorite feature. It's easily adjustable/cleanable and easy to fold up and store it. For traveling, it's easy to carry around. The mask is also easy to take apart quickly which makes it easier for me to clean. This mask works very well as a travel mask.
However, just as a word of advice: I'm an average sized guy and the "small" option fit me best, so I would recommend making sure what your measurements are before ordering a mask. I was surprised about my mask size. I think these masks run on the large size, so I recommend sizing down even if you want an "oversized" mask for yourself.
This mask is very comfortable, and feels sturdy. It also doesn't leak. No complaints to speak of.
Comfortable mask, I like the simplus a lot. No leaks so far after 3 weeks of using and comfortable mask.
As mentioned, the harness is fine and it holds onto my head very well. No problem adjusting it and it’s held up well, the straps didn’t lose much elasticity. Try to avoid using the Velcro straps a lot though, those never hold up on any mask. I use the quick release clips instead when I can.
The best part of the mask is the standout cushion. The mask almost “rolls”� on your face in that the silicon seal part is very pliable. This is a good thing as it means when I shift, the seal forms and holds very well. It feels pretty comfortable too, the material is sufficiently soft. Have had zero leakage issues in the few years I used this mask. The performance and feel of the mask is great overall and I see no reason to switch masks. For the foreseeable future I will continue buying and recommending the simplus.
The design is straightforward. It doesn’t revolutionize anything but it does the fundamentals well. The headgear cradles my head well and it has all the standard strap adjustment options. There’s a strap across the top with a goggle-style adjustment mechanism, which I could see pressing down on some people’s heads. My hair is sufficient cushion however, so I have no issues. The cheek straps clip onto the nose cushion too, which is sufficient for taking it off with ease. Finally, there’s a diffuser panel on the cushion which helps quiet down the air exhaust sounds. Should help if you have a partner whose a light-sleeper.
Nose cushion is great, it has the Rollfit mechanism which means the cushion adapts with the contours of your face and shifts itself to stay on optimally. This feels nice as it stays on during the entire night and prevents leakage. I’d highly recommend always getting the fit pack, since it all three cushion sizes so you can get the best fit for you. Tube connector at the front of the mask has a swivel socket so it’ll rotate as your hose is repositioned. This means you get a little more control over where your hose lays, helping keep it from sitting on your body.
All in all, a great mask. It does everything right without fuss. Fits well, feels good, doesn’t have leakage issues. What more could you want?
Next thing I find that payment from PayPal was made but also money from my American Express card was taken, hence I paid twice and received 2 masks.
I Ordered medium but really should have gotten small so sadly I have 2 not very good fitting masks.
Overal I am happy with the product just didn't need two and postage to expensive to exchange one of them for smaller size.
This mask is 4 yrs. old and still going . Highly recommend
The only improvement I want to see about the mask is how it's a bit difficult to assemble my mask over and over again especially because it's very easy to fall apart. Whenever I get up temporarily like for using the restroom, my mask feels like it's too fragile to stay together. I wish F&P designed this mask so it's less easy for it to fall apart. It starts getting inconvenient after a while to keep on having to readjust my mask after I take it off for a little bit.
All in all, this is a pretty decent mask if you're looking for a comfortable full face mask. For its cost, I think it's a great value.
More important than anything else with me is that the seal works, because I have had masks with bad seals, and my therapy has not been good, wake up tired, sluggish during the day. I will deal with the bulkiness of the mask because of the seal!
I am sorry this mask did not work for you. Luckily we do have a mask assurance policy so be sure to contact us directly so we can get this resolved.
