I've watched SO MANY videos because I've just started using a CPAP machine with this mask, and yours is the first video that helped me understand how it is supposed to fit. Thank you so much!!
I am very happy to hear that.
Have been using this mask for several weeks now and the only thing I would change/add is an air defusing screen like the P10. My husband would never complain of air blowing on him with the P10 but now with the N30i the complaints have started again. But it works for me...I'm sleep! 8-). It is a very comfortable mask for back, side, and stomach sleepers.
just bought this one, it fits me so well.
Thank you for the video!! It really helped me with my new headgear & helped me know how to do nasal piece. I was nervous about changing it out, didn't want to break it. I have confidence now to work with it!!!
Great to hear. Thanks for watching.
Just started 3 nights ago very comfortable!
Awesome.
Excellent video. Well done. Very helpful. Very informative. Thanks!
Thanks for checking out our video and you are more than welcome.
Awesome video, way better instructions than my CPAP clinic. I picked up a tip that solved the problem I was having with my mask fit. I had the top too far towards my face, needed to be back further to get the seal right. Thank you!!
You are welcome.
Thank you lol I had my mask on upside down . Hopefully I'll get some sleep now tonight haha
Glad that you got that straightened out.
Great presentation 👍
Thank you!!!
To the person doing this CZcams demo-when separating the nose piece from the frame, if you want to do it easily & efficiently do not pull the pieces side-to-side as you did in your demo; instead (as shown in the ResMed brief instructional video), use a gentle "breaking" motion that's more like snapping a twig in two. I hope you'll pass that on to your customers/clients.
Thank you for the insight. We will pass that along for sure.
Hello, Is The Mask Suitable For My Lumis 100 VPAP S With Humidifier.
About to give up on CPAP until I was given this to try. You'd have to pry it from my dead hands
I am really glad to hear that the N30i works so well for you.
EXCELLENT VIDEO
Thank you very much!
Has anyone figured out a hack to make the new N30i less flexible? This new style is waking me up numerous times a night because is moves off my nose & leaks. Love the new defuser design but the nose piece instability negates the advantage.
I like the feel of this mask. However when I'm using it, my machine registers a leakage that is never below 30 l. I do not feel this leakage, I don't think it comes off at night, and I use a strap to keep my mouth closed. Have you noticed that the resmed measures the airflow into this mask and detects leakage that is not really there? I have a ResMed air curve 10 at 15 PSI.
HOLY MACKKKKINAAAWWWW Joe, if you feel fine for the day I'd ignore what the machine says. Realistically you'd be able to tell if you had a leak. When I have a leak my days are a write off.
Great info. This mask looks especially good for someone who tosses & turns a lot! However, was wondering how comfortable it might be if you sleep on your side? Would it feel very bulky & uncomfortable on your cheeks compared to just headbands? Thanks
To be honest we have mixed feedback on that particular thing. The tubes coming down the cheeks do have padding which helps. So I would say unfortunately you would have to experience it for yourself to know if it would bother you or not.
I sleep on my side and it is very comfortable, more so than my P10 pillow mask.
Sherri Alexander . Thank you for telling me. Good to hear from someone actually using it. Glad you got on with it ok. I’ve had some over the years that are more comfortable than others & also are better with reducing ‘leaks’. This one appealed as I liked the idea of less face marks!
I also noted your other comments about air blowing & husband complaints. My current Airfit one is bad for this! Was hoping this new style would have been better & reduced this problem. (Bad enough it ‘comes between us’ but the price we pay for a good nights sleep & improved life!!).
Julie Cosgrove you are so welcome.
I"m a side sleeper and like this mask very much. But, I can't find information on how often to change the cushion. Each one costs $26 to $31, depending on where you shop.
The cushion is recommended to be changed once per month. However the longevity of the cushion/seal really depends on its performance for you. If it gets to the point where you are having to tighten it quite a bit to keep it sealed it is probably time to replace it.
I just started with CPAP and use a Wisp. So far so good. Is this super better than a Wisp. thanks
It completely depends on your preference. The DreamWisp is certainly different, but whether that difference is 'better" would depend o your experience with it. The over-the-head tubing connection does allow for a freedom of movement that is nice. The cushion is pretty much the same.
If the side strap is smashed into the pillow when you lay your head down on the side, will that cause the seal to break on that side of your nose and leak?
It should not. Air will redirect to the other side.
I'm having trouble with it.
If I happen to breathe through my mouth it seems to be fighting the going to my nose.
Can't seem to get use to it.
Nasal Masks are a tough fit for mouth breathers. You may want to try a Chin Strap or Somnifix Mouth strips to help with the mouth breathing. Link below for reference.

So my question is my chin strap to keep my mouth closed goes on the top of my head like the mask does, how is that gonna work ?
If you put the chinstrap on first it should be ok.
I've only had my Cpap machine for 2 months so I'm still a newbie. The P10 mask sort of discourages sleeping on the side. Just got the N30i a few days ago and the wife prefers the "unicorn" look to that of the "elephant". The N30i is more comfortable for sleeping on the side with the hose not a constant issue. However, Resmed has not yet added the N30i to the database and the machine reports a poor mask seal. i will pay attention to keeping the mask pillows under my nose tonight. Also a possibility I need the small frame instead of the medium. Still getting used to the sound of my breathing. Shortening the ramp up time helped me since the seal is better under higher pressure. Still in the love hate mode with the device. Harder to fall asleep but sleep quality is vastly improved with far fewer interruption incidents and deeper sleep. Now if i would only go to sleep at a proper time....
As far as choosing the CPAP/APAP's setting for checking the seal, the N30i manual says to select "pillows" instead of "nasal" for this. I spent two nights before reading this in the manual. Oops. Today I chose "pillows" and got good results. I hope this helps you.
Continuing a few days later: Using the medium pillow with the N30 the seal was improved. We took a picture and realized the frame sits too close to the ears and the top is a bit toward the rear of the head.. Per my supplier & Resmed there is no smaller frame size at this time. All that is necessary to better adjust the fit is to enable the local supplier to switch (or shorten) the fabric sleeves at the bottom of the mask. I wear a 6 7/8 hat. Small but many women have smaller heads than mine. Support will review.
My nose piece is different from the one in your video. It has an oval piece in place of the multiple little holes on the front where the exhaled air escapes. Am I supposed to remove the oval covering? Please advise. Oddly, this worked great the first night (1.0 events per hour) and not well the next two (7 and 8 events per hour). Thank you for your kind assistance.
Curious about this exact question because I do not feel any air coming out like the guy showed in the video.
You should not have to remove that cover. The cushion has been updated since this video. Link below to update video.

I'm a side sleeper, does this mask do good with side sleepers? I notice most mask will move when I'm laying on my side causing leaks?
It is great for side sleepers. May even want to grab a Nasal pillow as well. The P30i will fit this as well. you end up with two masks in one. Links to both below.

I love this mask but it rides up my head which leads to leaking or sometime in the night I take it off. That is the only complaint that I have on this mask. Any help would be appreciated.
You may have to back off the top straps and tighten the bottom a bit.
The plastic cushion has come loose from the hard cradle..what can I do?
Probably time to replace unfortunately. The cushion can be purchased separately.

I am a side sleeper. Would the side of the frame be uncomfortable to lie on?
Some have said it is, but not very often. It even comes with little soft pads that help
This is a silly question but are we meant to feel the airflow in our nasal mask?
it depends on where you are feeling it. Check out this blog below. It will help explain the air feeling.

Cleaning tubes - how often? With water only or ? How to dry it?
Cleaning nose cradle - how often?
At least once per week. Mild soap and water rinse very well.
You were able to talk without issue while air is on. It's difficult for me to talk. What adjustment do I need to make? Thx
I may have had it at a lower pressure than you do. But overall after you have done a bunch of these demo videos it just gets easier. So unfortunately I don't think that there is anything in particular that you can do to help with that.
@@CPAPmyway thx so much for your reply. I'll watch more of your videos to get familiar w/ the system & mask.
Don't talk
When I can talk properly with the air on, that tells me I have the mask on wrong lol. You shouldn't be able to talk properly with the pressure.
Canyou buy the cushion separately?
Yes you can. Here is the link.

I am new to using a CPAP which is only providing me to sleep 4 or 5 hours per day. How can I get sleep 6 to 8 hrs daily?
What do you feel like is waking you up early? Mask leaks, discomfort, pressure?
@@CPAPmyway Waking me up early.
I have hard time breathing out..am I doing something wrong?
That is a common issue. Increasing the exhalation setting on your CPAP may help. I have a link below explaining that.
cpapmyway.com/blog/cpap-exhalation-relief-setting
Mine pushes my nose up, idk what I am doing wrong
More than likely you have is a little too tight. I would try loosening it up first.
I tried this mask because a full mask didn't work for me. However, while using n30i, I feel the air pressure in my mouth, and my mouth opens automatically and then the airflow through the nose is blocked. I was told that the mouth should be kept closed while using this mask, however, the mask itself causes the mouth to be open. In addition, it is too hard to breathe out through the nose while wearing it. Physically it is more comfortable than the full mask but how can I benefit from the mask most?
You should take a look at the Somnifix mouth strips. They do a great job of keeping the mouth closed while using Nasal and Nasal Pillow CPAP Masks like the N30i. Link below.
cpapmyway.com/store/disposable-cpap-parts/cpap-chinstraps/somnofix-mouth-strips
How do you know which size to order?
There is a sizing gauge, but the setup pack has all sizes in most cases.
I found that I have a pressure of 20 and this is too strong for this mask. I have to go back to my old style WISP
Thanks for the input. 20cm is pretty high.
Why does my nose piece seems like it is collapsed?
That can happen when the silicone wears out. Usually means that it is time to replace the seal.
I feel the tubing pulling while I sleep. why is that?
There is almost always a little bit of "hose-drag" when you move around with any mask. Are you noticing it all the time or just while moving or turning?
@@CPAPmyway it just feels heavier on top of the head. more uncomfortable than i thought. I also breath thru my mouth more on this one and wake with a dry mouth
Yes there is a definite difference between this one and others for sure. Not right for everyone. If you need any help in looking for a more suitable mask please give us a call. Happy to help at any time! 813-704-6038
@@beaches5182 I am having the same problem with my mouth coming open as well! The strap is sliding up the back of my head and I have to keep pulling it down during the night.
Hii, is there supposed to be air coming out the front?
Yes that is normal. It is the exhalation port.
I feel like a unicorn wearing this! Ridiculous. The headgear is terrible. It is bulky and pulls on my long hair. This may be good men who don't have hair. ! It has been two weeks and I hate it. Have not been able to sleep. My first CPAP so maybe others are worse.
I have the same one and mid length hair, only way I've found to not have issues with my hair is to pull it up into a ponytail then when I put on the mask I pull the back strap under the ponytail, take out my ponytail then I can sleep with no hair pulling for me 🙂
Thank you for the feedback. I would try the P10 or the Brevida next based on your feedback. Links below.

I hate it, my breathing is so amplified I can’t fall asleep
Thanks for the input.
speak louder please.
This mask is a fucking pain in the ass. Get ready to be frustrated
Did I mention, I hate it.....
Understood for sure. ;)
My cushion has come loose on the right so air escapes very loudly. Any solutions?
