ResMed AirFit P30i Nasal Pillow CPAP Mask with Headgear

The P30i is an excellent mask that I would give 5 stars in all areas. I was deciding between the DreamWear and this mask, but I saw the little baffles on the top frame and figured it might help hold the mask better at night. For reference, I’m someone who moves a lot while sleeping so grip of the mask is a big concern for me.

Right off the bat, the mask is incredibly comfortable and well-fitting. The frame is light and pliable, so it rests on and fits around my face without issues. The headgear is pretty standard but it’s soft and breathable, which is all I can really ask for. It stretches to fit well too, living up to the idea that it’s one size fits all. The other primary comfort feature of the mask is the dual airway design, going down both sides of the head. Both can provide air to you, so you can sleep on your side and the one airway will keep pumping. Great because it means I can sleep comfortably on my side at night and I had no issues with breathing. Another excellent touch is the hose connector being at the top of the head. I love this feature since I can keep my air tube away from my neck and chest, where it usually runs. It also means I can sleep facing away from my machine without problems.

Of course the most important part is the nasal pillow. I’ve been using pillows for years now so I’m used to them, but I still think the P30i pillow is excellent. The standard pack come with all 3 sizes so you can really be sure you’re getting the right fit. It’s not too hard, holds against my nose very well, and seals up tight. I haven’t had any leakage issues and I wake up feeling refreshed every morning.

I can’t say enough good things about the P30i, and I really think this is the mask I’ll use for the rest of my life. Hopefully, this mask and the parts for it never go out of production and are around for a long time.

My brother recommended ResMed masks to me a few months ago when I was having issue with my previous one. I’m a pillow user so I made sure to look for their pillow line which landed me on this p30i. Only had it for about a week now but it’s doing good so I feel comfortable giving my thoughts.

Frankly, the part I always care most about is the pillow. How it fits, how it feels, and how it seals. Well thankfully, the p30i pillow is top class. The box comes with all 3 cushion sizes with the standard pack so I had no issue trying out all the sizes. I always appreciate when I don’t have to worry about measurements myself, since I struggle to even measure my pants size by myself (LOL). Medium was my pick and it’s supremely comfortable. It doesn’t feel like anything is there, but at the same time, I know it’s sealing well. I breathe perfectly well and all the usual benefits of going with a pillow apply. Hopefully these pillows hold out well over the long term so I don’t have to replace it too often.

Other than the pillow, the mask is good too. There’s only two frame sizes but it seems like they recommend just getting the standard size for most people. It fits my face well and I imagine I’m about the size of an average person. Also it’s comfortable and doesn’t hurt to wear/leave imprints. That’s about all I have to say, really good mask overall.

Subject: N30i nasal pillow mask
I thought it was going to be difficult to get use to this type of mask. I found it to be exactly the opposite. Very comfortable, provides great air flow. I thought laying on my sides would be problematic, no once I set it properly, not too tight or loose it was great. My only issue is my jaw tends to relax too much when I am in a deep sleep, I am having some difficulty finding a chin strap that supports my jaw without causing jaw problems. I have tried many, none returnable, that is an expense I would like to recoup, but we know that won't happen. I will continue that search, but using this mask no matter what. I did enough research to know using a gel around the nose it encouraged, so I started with the gel from the onset. I have no issues because of that, and I have VERY sensitive skin. No adhesives at all, ace bandages can even cause my skin to blister. I love the covers provided with the N30i pillow mask.

Subject: Too loud, otherwise good
First, the positives: the design for the air supply tube going on top of the mask is absolutely genius. Props to the designer for this one. I normally drape my hose from the top of my bed's headboard so this works perfectly for me. My wife doesn't have to worry about moving into the exhalation path anymore. Also, when I wake up in the morning, I don't get noticeable marks at all because of the soft fabric on the sides of the mask.

However, I will say that this mask is on the louder side. When I initially switched to this mask, I wasn't impressed by how loud the airflow was. Because of the way the sides of the mask press down on my face, I can hear the airflow and my own breathing in my skull. This will definitely take some time to get used to.

I think this mask is a good choice. I just wish it was a little quieter.

This was the first nasal pillow, or mask for that matter that I purchased and I like it alot so far. It comes with 3 different sizes on the nose piece for you to choose from and I found the medium to be best for me.
It's also nice that the hose is on top of my head as having one infront of my face/neck was not very appealing to me and seemed like it would just get in the way. With this setup however, the hose does not get in the way.
One tip I can provide is that you don't want to tighten the straps too much or it will be uncomfortable and just irritate your nose.
I found that I only need to tighten it enough so that it won't move away from my nose causing an air leak if I decide to turn over on my side instead of laying on my back and it's perfect.

First of all, the P30i is quite comfortable to wear. It is very lightweight and not the least bit bulky like some of the full face masks that I have tried. I didn't miss at all having to tighten straps so much just to prevent air leaks and then looking in the mirror after removing the mask in the morning, and seeing all those marks on my face. But then came the downside for me. I would constantly find my self being awakened exhaling through my mouth. I tried using a chin strap along with the nasal mask, but that was too much work and defeated the reason for going to a less obtrusive mask. So, I have gone back to using my full face mask as it does allow me to have uninterrupted sleep.

Subject: Way too tight to use
I purchased the standard size because I have a larger than normal head and that was the only option (certainly not small). I tried and tried with the various sized nasal pillows but woke up each morning to a sore nose and face. Now it sits by my bedside collecting dust and I'm using my years old mask... Going to try and get a replacement ..

Subject: Unsure about this one ...
Well, I am trying to find a good pillow mask but this one is NOT for me. Hurts my nose! This fits too tight against the base of the nose and causes my nose to be sore each morning when I wake.
It does create a good seal at the nose. It does have the on-top-of-the-head connector, which is great but the tightness against the nose it way too much and there is no way to adjust this! If it was able to be adjusted, it might be the perfect mask.
So, depending on head size maybe, it might not be for you.

Subject: Cannot change the nose piece
I order the p301. Amal pillow and I was unable to put the new one on my head piece. I’m 80 yo and could contribute to my inability to change them out but honestly it shouldn’t be that difficult

Thank you for reaching out to us! I was not able to find your order with Respshop so I could contact you. I am sorry you had issues with the cushion but perhaps this video will help. If not, please call us 866-936-3754

I absolutely love the comfort of the head gear for this mask. I also likes the pillows however I wish they made an extra small or petite size nasal pillow as this one is just a bit too large but I can manage. The important feature to me is the comfort of the headgear.
