AirFit F20 Full Face CPAP Mask by ResMed
InfinitySeal Cushion
The AirFit F20 InfinitySeal cushion is designed to accommodate a wide range of facial structures and to provide a secure seal under varying pressure levels. The cushion's sophisticated engineering offers significant support around the nose, which effectively reduces the occurrence of disruptive mask leaks and blow-outs, contributing to a better sleep experience. With the AirFit F20 cushion, users can experience a comfortable and effective therapy session, ensuring a good night's sleep.
Plush Headgear and Magnetic Clips
The AirFit F20 headgear is designed for ultimate comfort and stability, no matter the sleeping position. The flexible headgear's four-way adjustable design ensures it stays put all night long, which minimizes readjustments and interruptions to your sleep.
Additionally, the magnetic headgear clips provide an effortless and convenient way to attach the headgear to the frame, making it easy to put on and take off the mask. This feature allows for quick and hassle-free removal and reattachment of the mask without readjusting the headgear, compromising that perfect fit.
Note: If you have a metallic medical implant, such as a pacemaker, defibrillator, etc., we recommend choosing a mask that does not use magnetic clips.
Quick-Release Elbow for Ultimate Convenience
The AirFit F20 Full Face Mask features a specially designed quick-release elbow that offers unparalleled convenience. This innovative feature allows users to disconnect the mask from the CPAP hose without removing the mask itself, providing a hassle-free experience when you need to get up during the night.
Simply squeeze the sides of the quick-release elbow to detach it, along with your CPAP hose, from the front of the AirFit F20. Upon your return to bed, you can quickly reconnect the elbow to the front of the mask by pushing the quick-release elbow in until you hear an audible click. The AirFit F20's quick-release elbow eliminates the need to readjust any straps or components so users can minimize interruptions to their sleep apnea treatment.
Flexible, Open-Faced Frame
Shaped like adaptive wings, the F20 mask frame runs along the cheeks and extends up the sides of the forehead. This innovative design allows ResMed to eliminate the forehead support bar without compromising mask seal, providing users with an open field of view which not only reduces feelings of claustrophobia, but also makes it possible to watch TV or read before bed.
Whisper Quiet Operation
ResMed's F20 CPAP mask features innovative QuietAir Vent technology which reduces operation noise to an impressively low 21 decibels that is truly "whisper quiet." A ring of small ports on the mask's quick-release elbow gently disperses exhaled air away from the user and bed partner, minimizing noise and draft to prevent unpleasant awakenings.
Multiple Headgear and Cushion Sizes Available
The ResMed AirFit F20 Full Face Mask is available in three cushion sizes - Small, Medium and Large. All three cushion sizes come with a Standard sized headgear. ResMed also offers Small and Large headgear sizes which are available separately.
First-time AirFit F20 users should consider using the AirFit F20 Sizing Gauge to determine their cushion size as CPAP mask cushion sizes are not identical across manufacturers. The Sizing Gauge can be found under the "Size Gauge" tab on this webpage. For accurate sizing, please ensure the Sizing Gauge is printed to scale and the measurement is taken with the aid of a mirror or a second pair of eyes.
Interchangeable Cushions
The AirFit F20 Full Face Mask is also compatible with ResMed's AirTouch F20 Memory Foam Cushion which offers a light, breathable seal and ultra-soft performance.
Note: The AirFit F20 Mask Frame is compatible with all sizes of AirFit/AirTouch F20 Cushions.
FAQ
How often should I replace the AirFit F20 Full Face Mask?
The F20 mask frame, elbow and headgear should be replaced every 6 months while the AirFit F20 silicone cushion should be replaced every 2 to 3 months. We encourage more frequent cushion replacements compared to other mask parts because the silicone softens with use (i.e., from contact with face oils, dead skin cells etc.) which inevitably compromises mask seal.
How do I clean the ResMed AirFit F20 mask?
Daily: cushion
Weekly: frame, elbow, headgear
Disassemble the mask before cleaning and hand wash all parts with mild soap and water. Use a soft bristle brush to gently scrub the vent ports on the quick-release elbow. Rinse each part thoroughly under running water and air dry away from direct sunlight. Squeeze excess water out from the headgear before laying it flat to air dry.
Regular mask cleaning helps control bacterial growth and prolongs the lifespan of the silicone cushion. CPAP wipes can be used in place of soap and water for quicker, hassle-free mask maintenance.
How do I determine what size cushion I need for the AirFit F20 mask?
Please use the Sizing Gauge that is available under the "Size Gauge" tab above to determine your cushion size.
How do I disassemble/assemble the AirFit F20 mask?
Disassembly:
- Remove the elbow from the frame.
- Unclip the magnetic clips from the frame.
- Undo upper and lower headgear tabs.
- Pull the headgear away from the frame and slide the magnetic clips off the headgear straps.
- Pull the cushion away from the frame by holding the frame in one hand and the hard plastic portion of the cushion in the other. If your mask has never been disassembled, you will need to exert some force to pull the cushion off.

I was long time user of the AirFit F10 full face, but I decided to upgrade to the F20 since it had some features I wanted to try. Immediately, I find the F20 to be a big upgrade and itโs a very good mask. It fits well and feels comfortable, and I have no complaints to speak of.
The big reason I wanted to upgrade from the F10 is that the F20 adds magnetic clips to the bottom two straps. I canโt stress how big of an addition this was, and how much easier it makes life. Probably the biggest part of getting great feel and performance from a mask is finding the perfect tightness on the straps. With the F10 however, you have to undo the bottom straps each morning, which means youโre changing the adjustment each time you take the mask off. Now, with magnetic clips, you just pull them off and your straps havenโt changed tightness at all. Iโve been getting consistent performance from this mask thanks to that, with no leakage issues to speak of.
Another big boon of the F20 over the F10 is that itโs a universal frame size now. The F10 had two different sizes I believe, which means you had to keep track of that alongside your cushion size. Thatโs no longer a problem.
Other than that huge addition, the F20 is very similar to the F10, which is a good thing. The headgear is still light and comfortable, holding onto my head well. No problems at all adjusting them to get an ideal fit. Cushion is still great too, itโs not quite the same as the F10 but it performs amazingly. The seal inflates well against my face and has no leakage issues. Just make sure not to tighten the mask too much, as you want the seal to fill in the gaps a little.
The hose still has the quick release elbow which is fantastic, since you can disconnect from your machine very quickly. It keeps the ring of vents too, so the air flow out is quiet and non-disruptive. Of course, as standard on the AirFit masks, thereโs no bridge/forehead portion, which means you can wear glasses and have an unobstructed line of sight. Great for anyone like me who enjoys reading in bed.
The F20 is a great mask that takes all the best parts of the F10 and adds on some great convenience features. With the addition of the magnetic clips, I feel fully satisfied with this mask and I donโt imagine Iโll be changing masks any time soon. I would highly recommend to anyone on F10 looking to upgrade, or just to anyone looking for a great full face mask.
Hi I originally panned the F20 after one night of trying it out, but since then have found that, if adjusted properly, it is less likely to leak than any other mask I have tried, and I have many unused masks. I use a Bipap AVAPS machine and recently travelled overseas for a few weeks, taking both my F10 and F20, thinking that I would use the F10 mostly, but after a few days of travel realised that the F20 gives a better seal, is more comfortable and the straps are more reliable and less likely to rub. I have tried many masks including nasal masks, pillows and full face masks. As I suffer from COPD, lung caner and sinus problems I can only use a full face mask and this is the best I have found so far.
I have tried many of the full-face masks available. I've not been happy with many of the masks I tried, probably because I sleep on my side - I think that makes it even harder to get a good mask seal. I really wanted to like the hybrid masks (under the nose style) but I couldn't get them to stop leaking. And of the masks that I could use, I find the AirFit F20 works best for me. The mask stays in place and seals very well. The hose attachment swivels effortlessly, and the air flow out of the mask is diffuse and silent. The cushion is easy to clean and replace, and I like the straps and fittings.
Subject: A great upgrade!
Most of the full face masks Iโve used in the past have leaked around my nose and eyes. This is the first full face mask Iโve ever had where it has not been a problem. It is so much more comfortable than my last mask, which was a nasal and mouth pillow combination. Itโs easy to put together at night, and in my experience it feels low profile on my head. All together, Iโve had a great experience with it.
Subject: Best full face mask out there
This man is soo comfortable no air leaks fits low profile soo you donโt feel that smothering feeling , easy to read phone or book while wearing
I work at a DME provider and with this mask the key is to not over tighten the headgear. Once you get a good seal adjust it then and let the cushion take over. If you can't run a finger between your headgear and your skin it's too tight and could cause leaks. Also make sure you are sized correctly. All masks run different. You may run a small in a Respironics but need a medium Resmed. I personally use this mask myself and have tried most mask just so I can tell my patients what to expect. This mask and the Amara View are my highest recommended for a full face mask.
Subject: F20 full face mask
This f20 full face mask is great when the air on your CPAP machine needs to be cranked up. With the full face mask you have less air leakage than with a half mask or nose mask. I highly recommend this mask because my doctor took my air up to 13 and air kept leaking around my mask. The full face mask solved the problem for me.
I was using the Amara fullface mask, but I had constant problems with leaking.
My husband recommended me to switch to the AirFit F20, and it has been awesome. The leaking issues stopped, and the mask is way more comfortable than the other one. A great buy!
Subject: airfit mask review
This is my first airfit mask but I like it a lot. I bought the f20 full face model and it has a very good seal when I sleep. Breathing very well and the headgear is also comfortable.
I heard really good things about AirFit masks from a friend, who used a nasal mask. However, Iโm more of a mouth breather so I wanted a nasal mask and settled on the F20. So far, I can say itโs excellent in both build and performance.
The materials all feel very good, the straps on this one feel stronger than the straps Iโve had on past masks. On those masks, the straps would stretch out over time and fail to hold on to my head well. I donโt think Iโll have that problem with the F20 as the straps feel like theyโll hold their shape much longer.
Cushion material feels nice too, itโs nice and supple and seems to conform to the curves of my face quite well. Really solid seal and I havenโt had any problems with pain/red lines. Itโs easy to disconnect the hose from the air feed which is always convenient and the design of the mask keeps my eye line mostly open.
If youโre looking for a good full-face mask with all the cutting edge features, I would recommend the F20.
