Swift FX Bella Gray Nasal Pillow Mask by ResMed
With loops that go around your ears rather than the back of your head, the ResMed Swift FX Bella Gray is a compact and unobtrusive nasal pillow CPAP mask designed for maximum sleeping comfort. It provides excellent sleep apnea therapy without causing discomfort to the user. The Swift FX Bella Gray also comes with the Standard Swift FX Headgear, giving you two headgear options to choose from. For added convenience, the mask comes with all three available nasal pillow sizes - small, medium and large - allowing you to try on different sizes in the comfort of your own home.
Bella Loops Plus Swift FX Headgear
Unlike on other ResMed products, the loops on the Swift FX Bella Gray nasal pillow hook around the ear instead of around the back of your head. But it also comes with the traditional Swift FX headgear, so you have a choice. The loops are lightweight and rest comfortably on your ears thanks to the silicone design.
The Swift FX Bella Mask does not block your view during CPAP therapy, so you can watch TV or read a book during use. The loops are cushioned on the side with soft wraps which provide comfort for your cheeks.
Ultra Quiet
ResMed designed this mask to direct air gently away from you and your bed partner. You won’t wake up from the sound of your own breathing, and no more complaints from disgruntled bed partners.
Dual Wall Pillow
In order to improve your CPAP mask's support and comfort, the ResMed Swift FX Bella Gray has a dual-walled pillow design that improves seal and reduces the discomfort of wearing a nasal pillow mask. Sleep freely with the Swift FX Bella's reliable and flexible seal, even if you tend to move around at night.
Easy Fit Mask
Cushions of three sizes come with your purchase – Small, Medium, and Large – for maximum versatility and a perfect seal. The headgear is easy to install and fit around your head, and there are only a few parts for washing and cleaning.
Travel-Friendly CPAP Mask
The Swift FX Bella Gray is extremely lightweight, which makes it an ideal mask for CPAP users on the go.
Reviewer's Tip:
Measure the distance from where your CPAP machine rests to where you sleep on your bed and add about an extra foot to determine the length of tubing you need. This extra foot gives you room to move without mask drag or leaks that could affect your therapy.
Note: The FX Bella Gray is also available in a For Her version that comes with an extra small nasal pillow in lieu of the large, pink ear loops, and the Standard Swift FX For Her Headgear with a pink back strap. The Bella For Her ear loops and headgear are slightly smaller.
Fitting your ResMed Swift FX Bella Gray
- Holding the nasal pillow to your nose, wrap one loop securely around an ear.
- Repeat step 1 with the other loop.
- Adjust the fit of your CPAP mask by pulling both of the upper straps simultaneously.
- Repeat step 2 with both of the bottom straps.
- Ensure that the nasal pillows are positioned upright at the entrance of your nose, and then connect the short tube from the mask to your CPAP hose.

Subject: I like the ear loops but the seal is lacking
The ear loops are very good. Because of the design, I don't have to worry about my mask leaving a mark on the back of my head and ruffling my hair to make me look unprofessional in the morning. Also, not having a headgear over my head/in my hair feels amazing. It's so freeing and comfortable to use. I also don't get marks on my face normally from this mask.
The only issue that I found after a few days of using this mask is that the nasal pillow material is on the flimsier side so I can't keep a good seal depending on how I adjust my mask. Because of the ear loops, sometimes, the mask sags and/or buckles and the seal becomes nonexistent. But being able to comfortably wear this mask is such a step up from my old mask that I can't go back. I will continue to use this mask but I will say as a warning that if you roll around in your sleep often, it's difficult to get a good seal.
Something that always bothered me when it came to CPAP masks was the lack of optionality. You pay 100 dollars for a mask and you’re just gambling that the style you picked was right. I know some shops, such as Respshop, offer various replacement policies but it’s still nice to get something right the first time. This yearning for flexibility is what drew me to the Swift FX and it’s really knocked my socks off.
Headgear: The package comes with two headgear options, both of which are great. One of them is a very standard two loop design that goes around the top of your head and around the nape. This one is fine, it’s light enough and fairly comfortable, provided you use the soft wraps. Your regular range of adjustment options so no issues there. The OTHER headgear is what really impressed me however. I’ve never seen another design like it and I don’t think I’ll ever switch away. It consists of two loops that go around your ear and just hook there, basically like a face mask. I personally love this. Straps going around, on top of, all over my head have been annoying and I always treated it as a necessary evil. This new set of straps takes away all of those issues. Doesn’t leave any imprints and holds the pillow well. It really makes me question why other masks use so many straps, although I countenance that people who move a lot in their sleep may not have as good an experience. Ymmv but I think the headgear is amazing.
Pillow: Pretty standard pillow, fits well and holds a good seal. Comes with three sizes which is of course very nice. The replacements seem pretty standard too, but I do find the pillows pretty easy to clean so they have some longer-term potential.
Good mask that works well. The pillow is comfortable and seals up well. Three sizes included, I ended up using large. Didn’t detect any leaks either. Replacements are cheap so I can replace them easily.
Package comes with two different strap designs. One of them has a band around the top of the head and one around the back. The other one is like a face mask, two loops that go around your ears. I tried both and they were both good. Did not exert too much pressure but held the mask on firmly. No shifting at night. Going to stick with the two strap one though since it’s what I’m used to. Either one, I think you’ll be happy with it.
The nice part with both is that they’re unobstructive. I can wear my glasses with either design and read a book in bed. It’s also easy to take the mask off in the mornings. Cleaning is easy too, I just use warm water for the cushion.
Overall a good mask. Nothing wrong with it and it’s priced well, while also working perfectly.
I like this headgear because the loops go around my ears, rather than behind my head like other masks. Makes it easier to wear, and more comfortable tahn other masks in the category. The cushion is good and lightweight, extremely comfortable. The headgear doesnt rub painfull against my checks which makes it much easier to wear than other masks which leave marks on my face and cause me pain. I have been through several masks and so far this is one of my favorites because of the cushion and most importantly the headgear. 5 stars because I have no complaints, which I did with other nasal pillow masks.
Here is what I found included with this mask: Three pillow sizes, small, medium and large; soft wraps, two different types of headgears, one is the loops and the other is the regular type that goes over and in the back of your head. I tried using the loops one first, since it is rather unusual looking thing. The loops are easy to adjust, but it takes time to getting used to wearing it. The pillows fit quite well for me. They are soft and seal completely so no air leaking while pressurized air is blowing through. Thanks for the photos you guys included on your website on fitting your loops.
Very good mask! I like these headgears that sit behind the ears rather than over and behind the head when I try to sleep. These ones were comfortable unlike other masks, and the cushions worked great. I had a good seal, very comfortable headgear, and the price was very fair compared to buying other masks at my local store. They dont have this mask, or a very big selection, and they want hundreds of dollars, while respshop was very affordable and had hundreds of masks to choose from? Yes please. Fast shipping, good prices, big selection, I am buying here from now on!
I like how the loop of this mask goes around my ears, it make it super easy for me to wear and its very comfortable. I tend to move to move around at night and it never comes off. Cushion is very soft and light weight and the loops are very soft never rubbed against my cheeks and leave marks. Most comfortable nasal mask I have used.
Subject: Mask review
This mask is great! I don't think many people know about it, but it has a unique strap design that's almost like the loops on a mask. I've found this to work really well for me, and it keeps the mask on tight and sealed during the night. Have had nothing but great sleep.
Very comfortable nasal pillow mask. Compared to others, I really like the fact that it won't slip from my head. Usually they the loose easily and it slips down my head causing my mask to come out , which doesn't happen with this one.
