The ResMed AirFit X30i full face CPAP mask offers a fresh approach to improving your sleep therapy.

Its unique top-of-the-head tube connection gives you more freedom to move at night without feeling tangled. At the same time, the hybrid cushion design provides effective performance for mouth breathers, nose breathers, and those who fall somewhere in between.

This mask focuses on comfort and a secure fit, helping reduce skin marks and leaks that can disrupt your rest. You’ll appreciate how easy it is to adjust and clean, making your nightly routine simpler.

In this review, we examine how this mask strikes a balance between functionality and comfort, supporting better sleep and helping you understand in clear, unbiased language whether it is the ideal mask for your PAP therapy needs.

Design

The ResMed AirFit X30i mask system features a low-profile frame designed to sit higher on the face, providing better visibility and reducing the bulk of the mask—critical for anyone who feels claustrophobic in larger masks.

Its headgear straps are soft and flexible, helping reduce pressure points and making it easier to adjust for a secure fit.

The mask features a quiet venting system that gently directs air away, helping to reduce noise and drafts, allowing you—and anyone else nearby—to sleep more peacefully.

Many users find it simple to put on and take off, which can save time and frustration when starting or ending therapy sessions and encouraging compliance with PAP therapy recommendations.

This design strikes a balance between comfort and ease of use, while remaining unobtrusive to provide a better overall sleep experience.

Cushion Design

The ResMed AirFit X30i features an innovative split oral nasal cushion that securely fits around your mouth and against your nostrils, aiming to minimize leaks during sleep without the need for a bulky, all-compassing single-cushion design.

The cushion’s soft silicone material molds gently to your face, helping keep the seal comfortable all night long.

It allows for some movement without breaking the seal, which can help you sleep more naturally.

If you’re looking for a cushion that stays put once in place, this design offers benefits you simply can’t find in other nasal, nasal cushion, or full face mask designs.

Better yet, this is accomplished with magnetic clips, allowing for quick connection and disconnection when it comes time to clean your CPAP equipment.

The result is a solid seal and a great night of sleep for virtually any prescription rating or sleep position.

Connection Style

The ResMed AirFit X30i mask connects the tubing at the top of your head, freeing your face from extra bulk and allowing for greater freedom of movement while you sleep.

This overhead connection helps reduce tubing drag and pulls, which can disrupt your rest, especially for sleepers prone to tossing and turning. It also places the hose out of your line of sight, creating a less cluttered feel, which is ideal if you prefer to end your day with a TV show or book from the comfort of your bed.

Overall, whether you prefer to lie on your side, stretch out on your stomach, or relax on your back, this mask’s connection gives you options.

Limitations and Considerations

The oral nasal mask design of the AirFit X30i may require careful adjustment to prevent air leaks initially, which can impact therapy effectiveness and disrupt sleep. However, with patience, you can dial in the fit and achieve dependable, long-lasting comfort.

As there are both oral cushions and nasal cushions to provide coverage similar to a full face mask, you’ll need to clean a few more mask pieces during your routine CPAP maintenance. However, cushions can be cleaned easily with a brief soak and rinse.

Since there are two seals to manage, users with facial hair or particular facial shapes might find it harder to achieve a consistent seal than with simpler mask designs. This may mean trying different sizes or mask options for best results.

Finally, and perhaps the most important consideration, is that the magnetic clips that make the mask so easy to assemble and fit may cause complications with particular magnet-sensitive medical equipment—such as pacemakers, insulin pumps, and hearing aids. 

If you have any doubts or concerns about compatibility, consult your primary care physician before making a purchase.
