ResMed AirFit P10 vs N30i vs F20: Which CPAP Mask Is Right for You?
Compare the P10 nasal pillow, N30i nasal cradle, and F20 full face mask. Review their designs and included parts, then discuss fit with your equipment provider.
The AirFit P10, N30i, and F20 use different cushion designs and tube connections. These differences can help you discuss comfort and fit with your equipment provider. A comparison guide cannot determine which mask suits your prescribed therapy, so review the fitting instructions and your care team's advice before changing mask style.
AirFit P10: Nasal Pillows
The P10 uses nasal pillows at the nostrils rather than a cushion covering the nose and mouth. LullaPad's listed replacement assembly includes Small, Medium, and Large pillows, the frame, and a user guide; headgear is not included. Check the mask's fitting instructions and discuss persistent discomfort or leaks with your equipment provider.
AirFit N30i: Nasal Cradle
The N30i cushion rests under the nose and connects to a frame with a top-of-head elbow. The listed FitPack includes Small, Medium, and SmallWide cushions, the frame, elbow, and user guide; headgear is not included. The N30i and P30i share a frame and headgear, but their cushion designs differ. Check the approved part list before replacing a cushion.
AirFit F20: Full Face
The F20 cushion covers the nose and mouth. LullaPad's replacement assembly includes the selected cushion size, frame, elbow, and user guide; headgear is not included. Full face and nasal pillow parts are different: a P10 pillow kit or N30i headgear does not fit the F20. Ask your care team about mask selection rather than choosing from pressure settings alone.
Will These Masks Fit Your Machine?
Yes — all three masks connect via standard CPAP tubing, so they work with virtually every CPAP, APAP, and bilevel machine, including the ResMed AirSense 10, AirSense 11, AirCurve 10, and AirCurve 11 (the travel-sized AirMini is the one exception, which uses its own proprietary tubing). You don't need to match the mask to your machine brand.
Price and How to Buy
These three listings are genuine ResMed replacement frame-and-cushion assemblies without headgear. Check the current product pages for prices, selected sizes, and included parts. This description applies to these ResMed listings; Philips Respironics complete masks in our catalog include headgear.
The Quick Answer
The P10 uses nasal pillows, the N30i uses a nasal cradle with a top-of-head connection, and the F20 uses a full face cushion. Match replacement parts to the exact mask model and review the fitting guide. If you are considering a different mask style, ask your equipment provider or care team to help assess fit and therapy needs.
