Pilairo Q Nasal Pillow CPAP Mask by Fisher & Paykel

Home > CPAP Masks & Parts > Nasal Pillow Masks > Fisher & Paykel Pilairo Q Nasal Pillow CPAP Mask

Two Headgear Options

Have two headgear styles in one: Stretchwise Headgear for a quick fit and Adjustable Headgear for a solid fit.

AirPillow™ Seal

Designed to move with you, the nasal pillow cushion molds to the nose for a gentle and consistent seal.

One-Size-Fits-All

Both headgear options and the AirPillow cushion are one-size-fits-all, taking the guesswork out of mask fitting.

Low-Profile Frame

The lightweight Easy Frame offers an open field of view, so you can watch TV or read in bed.

Quiet, Powerful Performance

Included with the Pilairo Q are 5 replaceable Q Covers, which disperse airflow to reduce noise and draft.

Freedom to Move

The short flexible tube with a ball-and-socket elbow keeps your CPAP hose out of the way as you toss and turn.

Pilairo Q Nasal Pillow CPAP Mask by Fisher & Paykel

When choosing a CPAP mask, you need to consider not just the comfort and fit but also its ease of use and your specific needs.

That’s why Fisher & Paykel thought of including two headgear options with the Pilairo Q Nasal Pillow Mask. Both headgear options, plus the nasal pillow cushions, come in one size, making it easy to start therapy.

For an easier fit, use the Stretchwise Headgear. It’s made up of only one elastic strap that goes around the head and automatically adapts to your facial contours.

Prefer a more customized fit? The Adjustable Headgear consists of three adjustment points: one on the crown of the head and two on the sides of the face.

The F&P Pilairo Q also offers a secure seal and quiet operation. Featuring the AirPillow Seal, the nasal pillow cushion inflates with pressure from your CPAP machine and creates a double seal in and around the nose.

The mask also comes with the easy-to-maintain Q Cover, which gently directs airflow away from you and your bed partner.

Prescription Required

How do I clean my F&P Pilairo Q Nasal Pillow Mask?

Weekly cleaning: headgear
Daily cleaning: cushion, frame, short tubing, elbow, swivel
Every 2 to 3 months: replace diffuser

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.

The diffuser is not washable and should be replaced every 2 to 3 months or when the mask becomes noisy.

My F&P Pilairo Q mask is leaking. What should I do?

Gently pull the mask away from your face and then release it, allowing the tips of the nasal pillows to inflate and settle comfortably inside your nose.
Check your cushion to make sure the two nasal pillow openings are not inverted into the cushion.
Make sure to clean both your mask cushion and your face, as facial oils can interfere with the seal.
Ensure you're wearing your Pilairo Q Nasal Pillow Mask according to the fitting instructions in the user guide. The way you put on the mask significantly impacts the seal.
Adjust your headgear as necessary.
Try a larger or smaller cushion 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.

How often should I replace the F&P Pilairo Q Nasal Pillow Mask?

To maintain the best fit and seal for your CPAP therapy, we recommend replacing the entire mask, including the headgear and frame, every 6 months.

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.

I used the old Pilairo for a few years and it worked fine. It started showing some aging though and I figured I would just start anew instead of having to replace every component eventually. Decided to stick with FP and try the new Pilairo, especially since I saw other positive reviews from old Pialiro users. Well I’ve had this for a few weeks now and I’m inclined to agree, it’s a great upgrade/progeny of the original.

The hybrid pillow/cushion of the old Pilairo was great and the new one continues that trend. It disitributes the pressure well so it feels light and comfortable. Also really quiet, substantial improvement from the old version in that regard. It uses a little diffuser filter to do that. They do seem like they should be replaced intermittently however, but you can also just choose to do without them. Like the old Pilairo, the cushion is one singular size and inflates around your nose when you turn on the air. I’m on the bigger size but I find that it fits excellently, so I think the one size fits all thing might actually hold up.

Also the headgear is comfortable. Not a huge improvement in this area but that’s because the old Pilairo was already really comfortable. It’s light and fits well, plus the package comes with two frame types. One of them you just adjust like normal, the other stretches itself. I use the normal adjustable one and it’s good.

Subject: Better than the old one. Definitely worth upgrading.
I used to use the old version of this but I can say with confidence that this one's better if you're looking to upgrade. The old one used to blow a lot of cold air onto my wife, which she hated. Glad I'm not having that problem anymore after getting this new version.
F&P really outdid themselves because they knew exactly what to fix. The comfort of this mask is just like my old mask. Also, it's very quiet too. Not to mention easy to clean and reliable as always. My old mask lasted me about 10 years. I think this one will be sticking with me for just as long. The frame is sturdy even though it's light.

I’ve been around the block, used nasal pillows, nasal cushions, and full face cushions. Pillows have been the most comfortable for me and I’ve been using a pillow mask for the past year, but I had some issues with slippage. As such I wanted to look for something that had the basic design of a pillow but with a little extra support to hold on. The Plairo fit that bill and it’s definitely lived up to my lofty expectations.

What’s so good about it? Well for one, it’s comfortable. Doesn’t feel heavy at all and cradles my noggin well, which is what I ask of a mask. But the real star of the show is the cushion. Instead of being your standard bar with two prongs that normal pillows are, this mask has a kind of winged frame around it that grips your nose. It really does hold on well and I haven’t had the slipping issues I had with my old pillow. Interestingly, there’s no sizing for the pillow as it’s supposedly one size fits all. I didn’t have any issues with the sizing but I can’t speak for other people, so that might be something to watch out for. The seal of the cushion is to par too, no problems with leaks. Very good mask, I think any nasal cushion or nasal pillows users will enjoy and feel familiar with the design.

The Pilairo Q Nasal Pillow CPAP mask is extremely comfortable because facial contact is minimal.

Good soft nasal pillow with air blowing in causing it to inflate, providing a good sealing. Like it compared to my previous hard nasal pillow.

This is the best mask I’ve ever used. It is adjustable on top and sides with Velcro straps, small adjustments are easy. Accommodates anyone. The air supply pivots so you are not fighting to find a good position for the hose.
