Vitera Full Face Mask by Fisher & Paykel
The Vitera Full Face CPAP mask by Fisher & Paykel is designed with the customer in mind. The mask provides stability, adaptability, and breathability, making it one of the best full-face masks that will work in harmony with your CPAP therapy. This mask will give you a better sleeping experience.
Lightweight Frame and Stability Bar
The Vitera’s lightweight, low-profile frame provides a zone of support using a stability bar that allows the cushion to adjust and seal while you’re moving around in bed. The Fisher & Paykel Vitera frame fits cushions of all three sizes, so there's no need to buy a whole new mask if you just need to change the size.
The swivel elbow that connects the frame to the hose moves around easily, allowing you to sleep in any position. The exhalation port on the frame has been smartly placed to blow upwards and away instead of downwards, keeping you comfortable.
Freedom to Move
The dynamic RollFit XT Cushion adapts to your movement during the night by keeping itself in place while reducing pressure on the bridge of your nose. This unique cushion shape is designed to fit a wide range of face shapes while minimizing mask leaks. Blue color coding on the cushion and mask frame provides easy identification of where to place the cushion.
Vitera Headgear with VentiCool
The Vitera Headgear features breathable fabric that allows 24 times more airflow and 35% more moisture transfer than headgear on previous Fisher & Paykel masks. This VentiCool technology helps keep you cool and comfortable.
The custom-made headgear also features two quick-release clips on the side of the frame and has a total of five different adjustment points: at the top of the head, on both sides of the forehead, and on both cheeks.

The rest of the mask (frame, headgear, elbow, and swivel) should be cleaned once a week. Please disassemble the mask according to the instructions in the user manual prior to cleaning. Wash all parts with mild detergent and rinse thoroughly under running water. Gently wring out excess water in the headgear and lay flat to air dry. The frame and elbow swivel should also be air-dried.
Respshop Product Review
By Susan – Certified Sleep Science Coach
When this mask came out, I was very impressed with the amount of research that had gone into this product! Fisher & Paykel shared with our company what exactly goes into creating a new mask, and I have to say it was impressive, to say the least. I took the Vitera CPAP mask home to give it a go.
I usually wear a nasal mask unless I have a cold or am reviewing a new mask, so my preference leans toward the nasal versions. I was pleasantly surprised by how comfortable the Vitera Full Face mask is. It is also imperative that my line of sight not be obstructed since I like to read in bed, and for a full face mask, this did the trick.
I like a couple of other things about this mask. In particular, the very comfortable cushion, which Fisher & Paykel call the RollFit XT Seal, really does roll or glide to stay in place as you move and auto-adjust to reduce leaks and pressure around my nose.
I also really like the headgear because it is adjustable in five areas. Once you have it adjusted to your liking, you have two quick-release tabs on the frame for easy release. They also allow you to take the mask off and put it back on without having to readjust it to fit again.
The VentiCool headgear creates a very stable yet cool feeling to the mask, which means no slipping around while you sleep. My final thought on this mask is that it is a very comfortable and convenient mask for CPAP users.
Recommended If You Have Facial Hair
Respshop stocks a large variety of CPAP masks to cater to all kinds of unique facial structures. Facial hair simply adds another wrinkle to your search for that perfect mask for you.
However, mouth-breathing beard wearers should not worry. The Fisher & Paykel Vitera is a traditionally shaped full-face mask that sits low on the chin and wraps securely around the nose bridge. This type of full-face mask works very well with facial hair.
When shopping for a CPAP mask to wear with facial hair, don’t fall into the trap of sizing up. Use the sizing guide and select the size that fits your facial structure. Over-sizing results in leaks, frustration, and discomfort.

Based on 20 reviews
5-star mask all around. It fits well, feels comfortable, and does its job. What more could you want in a mask?
Things I like:
Right off the bat, the nose cushion is very well designed. It uses something called Rollfit technology which means it adjusts to your face shape and movements during the night. I canโt explain it but it definitely works. No leakage or uncomfortable shifting during the middle of night, I can feel secure that itโll stay there and do its job. Thereโs three sizes you can choose, but I recommend just getting the FitPack since itโs the same price and you get all three cushions to try out.
I like the headgear too, itโs not revolutionary but does its jobs well and has some particular strong points. It has five points of adjustment, four for the cheeks and forehead, and one for the top of your head. I had no problem finding a good fit and even though I was a little unsure about the strap over the top of the head, I havenโt had any comfort issues from it. On the back, the part that cradles your head, itโs a soft mesh material. They say it helps with heat dissipation. I donโt have issues with a hot pillow but I think this little touch should help people who do. The clasps for releasing the straps from the cushion are fine, not much to say here but sufficient for easily taking the mask off in the morning.
Things I donโt like:
I havenโt any issues but there is a small potential for future problems with the plastic bar that runs up between your eyes. On some other masks, that is a part that breaks over time. Hasnโt happened with me on this mask, but something worth pointing out.
Subject: Vitera Full-face mask
I received this mask two weeks ago. I started off with a full-face about 10-years ago, and then for some strange reason, (thru insurance), the local place started giving me the nasal type masks. (covering just the nose)- It was fine at first, but then I started feeling like crap again. I knew I was still sleeping with my mouth open, which is counterproductive. I tried a chin-strap and all that other junk. Went back to this type mask, sleeping like a baby just off the tit... Love it! (very comfortable around the face, not like they were 10-years ago)
I tend to toss and turn a good amount at night when I sleep, so Iโve had a lot of trouble with masks shifting in the past. As such, I decided to look for a design that seemed like it would be very secure and the Vitera seemed like a perfect choice. It cradles your head at almost every point and I can attest that it has drastically reduced any slippage issues I had.
The headgear is great and has 5 stars which is how itโs able to hold on so well. It doesnโt feel overly heavy or uncomfortable though, since the straps are a light and breathable material. On the backside, the part that cradles your nape is a plush mesh. It makes the headgear very breathable/airy, so my head doesnโt get hot anymore. Another huge plus.
Aside from the fantastic harness, the mask is very solid. Large, well-padded cushion spreads the pressure quite well and I had no problems breathing. I personally donโt use glasses but I imagine this mask would work sufficiently with glasses. The vertical bar comes off your face pretty far so I think you can slip glasses underneath.
Itโs also nice that the air feed can swivel, thatโs a must-have feature in my book.
Subject: Review vitera
I am new to the cpap machine and have had a terrible time with fit. Tried nasal and full face. Since my mouth won't stay closed my only option is a full face and I didn't know where to turn. Then I found the veteran, read the description and read the reviews. Sounded like a winner (if this one didn't work for me I was doomed). Needless to this is the one. The only one that didn't feel like it was cutting my face. I am very impressed. Must wait till my 6 months is up with Medicare to be able to request a change. I am so happy I found the Vitera. It really is comfortable. Thank you resistor for good pricing and fast delivery.
Subject: Underrated
It seems like people don't know Fisher & Paykel masks as well as Resmed and Phillips masks, but I've had nothing but a pleasant experience with the vitera. It has an excellent seal which rarely, if ever, lets any air escape. I sleep very well and it's also fairly comfortable. Overall, it's an excellent mask with no noticeable flaws.
I have been trying to get used to this machine for almost a year.. trying various masks, styles, sizes, with no positive outcome. Finally, with this mask, comes relief... it's comfortable, stays in place, Finally! for me? this one works.
Subject: Vitera Full face
As a mouth breather throughout the night, this mask is a must for a comfortable and sound sleep. I purchased this mask after trying a nasal mask that just did not work for me. I wanted to be able to breathe in and out through both my mouth or my nose throughout the night. This is the first full face mask I have tried and I like that you can get the "fitpack" with different sized cushions to figure out what fits the best. It came with a small, medium and large cushion. I thought I was going to be large but it turns out I only needed a medium. It was also recommended to me since I have a lot of facial hair that I would have better luck creating a seal than I would with something similar. I am able to wear it more loosely on my face and minimal air escapes throughout the night and it appears by the numbers on my machine that my sleep apnea is being well controlled with this mask. The only negative I have been able to find is that I enjoy putting my machine on prior to going to sleep and reading a book but because of the bar that comes on the forehead, I am unable to use my glasses. You win more and lose less with this mask!
Subject: Tight but works
The worst pressure points are my forehead and nose. When I adjust my mask too tight, my forehead and nose almost always feel painful by the morning. Also, if you're looking for a mask that doesn't leave marks in the morning, I wouldn't get this one. Every day I have a lot of marks on my face that sometimes takes until noon to go away.
But the mask definitely does its job well. I have not experienced any leaks so far after 3 weeks of using my mask. It sits correctly on my face throughout the night and I don't have to adjust it at all during the night. IT is also easy to take apart and put together which makes it easy to clean. I spend much less time figuring out how to put together this mask after drying it compared to my old mask.
If you're looking for a new full face mask, don't let me discourage you from trying this mask because my face might be a weird shape. My experience was this one was mostly good other than the tightness and the marks. (3/5 rating)
Subject: Vitera fit pack
Great way to get started. You have the 3 sizes for the cushion and headgear. For me this mask is perfect for a silicone mask. Really comfortable. Be advised if you wear a small the headgear for the fit pack is med/large. I need a small. It is in the mail. I tried many different masks and this one hands down is the best. Shipping is really fast. This company is based in Washington state and I am in AL. Shipped same day as order and usually arrives in just 2 or 3 days.
I love the Vitera Full Face Mask by Fisher and Paykel this company is a go to for me. I switch between the Bravida nasel pillows. This has a silky soft cushion when it touches my face. One thing missing is the air diffuser! One improvement in next generation mask, please to have an air diffuser.
The fitpack comes with med/lg headgear
If not using heated hose then I would use this one https://www.respshop.com/cpap-supplies/tubing/respironics-6ft-performance-tubing-p-134.html with this connector https://www.respshop.com/cpap-supplies/tubing/sunset-healthcare-circuit-connector-p-812.html in the 22 mm or number RES014
No you will not need an adapter. This hose you have is universal and will work with any CPAP masks.
