Got my F40 from CPAP supplies. I have use it for 13 days now. More comfortable than my F30 to me and keeps a great seal all night. My AHI stays around 2.0 avg but the first night use was .50 AHI. Lowest it's ever been in 5 years. I did change the mask setting to 'Pillows' as suggested by ResMed manual. Using the standard headgear and medium cushion. So far so good, the mask allowed me to sleep on my side more comfortably than the F30. I will be sticking with the F40 for now on.

Don’t speak so soon. I have found as soon as I find a mask that works. It’s discontinued or simply no longer made.

Thanks for the review on this Jason!

Thanks for the review!

I've been using the F40 for almost two weeks now, and it is my absolute 100% favorite mask ever! I've tried at least a half dozen others, including the F30, the Evora, and the Amara View. There is no comparison for me. It fits beautifully (medium cushion with standard head gear), and I have zero issues with leaks. As one other person mentioned, I find slightly pulling it away from my face to allow it to reseal itself (like if I have an issue after changing positions) works much better than tightening. It is without a question the most comfortable face mask for me. My settings range from 9-14. I hope they never stop making this mask. I wonder if it's not as good for you because of your facial hair.

The F40 is the most comfortable mask I’ve ever used. I do agree with your comment about is puffing up but it’s a small price to pay for a good nights rest.

Totally worthwhile content! Thank you!

This is the first time I have not agreed with you on a new mask. I just love the F40. It is the first mask I have been able to wear comfortably since I was switched to an ASV with pressures that go up to 25 when I stop breathing. CPR in a Jar. Everything I try leaks like a sieve. It's soft and the seal fits my Shar Pei face beautifully. I am 82 and have no collagen to speak of in my face. It's easy to clean and wear. I love the swivel hose. I have noticed that it works much better if I do NOT tighten it a lot during leaks. Rather than tighten it it is better to pull it out and reseal it. If I switch body positions I always reseat it on my face. As I also will just squish it when it is a small leak and make the air flow shift a bit and it stops the leak. My AHI is now usually under 1 with this mask and sometimes 0.0. My O2 drops are fewer, and my sleep architecture has improved quite a bit. Ive been papping for 10 years and this is by far the best mask I've had.

Nice to see this has a diffuser. The F30 didn't fit under my nose, and the F&P Evora was nice, but it kept blowing air in my eyeballs and off my sheets; that was the one aspect of it I couldn't stand.

at this stage of the game I'm totally convinced that the people making these masks are not using them - it's clear as they don't seem to be able to absorb constructive feedback -why don't they form a panel of pro mask testers with Leftylanky, Uncle Nicko and that dude from the "The CPAP Store" channel etc -they need to do LOTS of prototyping

Thanks for the review Jason! I'm still looking forward to the F40 -- mine's in the mail. My pressure settings aren't as high -- under 10 usually. Maybe the mask wont' break seal at those pressures?

I'll be waiting for the F40i

Grayson can you use mouth tape in this mascot❤ thank you for always being there for us CPAP people community

Surprised to hear you say that about the F30i. I’ve been using it for quite a while and love the connection at the top. Why do you think it’s the worst?

Thanks for the information. My Dr. gave this to me for free to try as I am having problems with my current nasal mask hissing with each breath. I am hoping this works for me as I don't know what else to do.

The magnets are a deal killer for me regardless of any other bells and whistles.

I was too anxious to try this mask even with your warning about the material shape at the nostrils. Your review was spot on. Air intake was good, but I could not exhale, and that kept waking me. I would return it, but the policy is not to allow the return of a product that was used. READ the policy before ordering!!!! I would have been better off waiting for my DME to have it available. I might try cutting that strip out between nostrils before I just throw this in the garbage.

Just a thought to the ladies out there; I tried the F40 medium cushion first, but I’m having better success with the F40 small-wide cushion. So far so good!

I'm super interested in understanding what that "pillow" setting does. I tried it last night, it felt the same but my AHI went way down!

This is the most comfortable FFM I've ever tried, but it leaks like crazy at the corners of my mouth. I tried everything from looser to tighter for many nights and finally gave up on it and went back to my old reliable F&P Evora.

That’s exactly my experience as well. I’m beyond impressed

FYI: The packaging for F40 and the manual says the unit has to be set to "pillows"

This is the first of a honest review for me. The defused exhalation is a win win, but I’ll wait for at least 6 months of opinions posted before I’d consider jumping on this bandwagon because I’m real curious how the all silicone cushion holds up.

I use the F30I, but I am new to CPAP. What dont you like about it??

I have a pacer and the magnets don’t bother me at all. I’m super sensitive to that stuff but not an issue.

Great. I got one of these coming tomorrow!! Why didn’t you post yesterday😢 I currently use F30 and love, but on side it leaked. Resmed says F40 better for side sleeping due to the “flexibility”. Guess we will see how it works for me this weekend. I eagerly anticipate your “pillows” setting video. Better be tomorrow!!

How did you end up liking it? Thinking about grabbing it

I found with this style of mask the size for me was more about the nose hole size. Wore a medium F20 but had to go to a small F30. This looks more cheaply made than the F30 ? Your comments seem to reinforce this?

What do you think of the f 20 I use max pressure it’s the only one that works well the only problem is I break out on the back of my neck from the stitching I’m not sure how to remedy that issue

Can you review the Lowenstein Lena mask thiccboy?

I like the F30 a lot better than the evora. Do watch the fitting video from resmed when you put it on.

I currently use an Airlift N30i mask. I have to tape my mouth shut each night to stop air leaks. Does the F40 work without taping your mouth closed, if you have a mouth leak problem with other masks?

could you talk about travel and how the batteries work with solar panels that's stuffs expensive

How about the CO2 does it trap more in the mask with the filter in the mask or does it escape like it should ?

the Evora FFM is hard to beat .

Hi! Can you share with us F30i users why you don’t like it as compared to the ones you prefer. Appreciate it! Been using the F30i for 2 years and not sure about it.

My BiPAP pressure is 22/18. Just like Jason noted, to prevent leaks with this mask, I have to crank it down very tight. When I do this, it completely eliminates leaks, but is uncomfortable to wear and causes considerable pain to my nose. Sounds like I need to give the F30 a try.

@nomadsolos

Ай бұрын

some of the pain and overtightening can be because you are not yet used to it. While I have never tried it I have found that on the Evora (very similar mask) it is easy to get so tight that your eyes bulge from the pressure. However if it is adjusted right it seals well and no leaks (ON MY FACE) - everyone is different. On the Evora I seat the mask under the septum snug then the lower straps as loose as I can get without flapping on my face. It feels so much better with that sequence.

The f40 doesn’t like scruff. After 2 days I have to shave. It’s what normally do anyway so it works out.

Thank you. I'm currently in a fight with my Airsense 11 and "provider". I am in doubt about the entire ResMed echo system...

I watched this twice. Does he ever discuss the headgear sizes and fitting? The cushion’s fit was addressed, but not the headgear.

I love the F40, then the F30 will work for also.

I’ve been using the AirFit F40 for a few weeks now, and of the half dozen or so masks I’ve used in the past decade, mostly hybrid full face masks, this is the best one I’ve ever used. I was previously using the AirFit F30, which few people liked, but the F40 was not only a lot more comfortable, but mask leaks went way down, and I’ve definitely slept better. I also have to disagree with you regarding the adjustable top of headgear, for two reasons: headgear of this type favors individuals with a larger head, with individuals with smaller heads having to adjust the top headgear to maximum extent still being too big, and secondly, it provides too many degrees of freedom for the headgear, meaning many people misadjust the top strap, or don’t adjust it, which doesn’t provide a good back anchor for the front of the mask, allowing the mask cushion to fall forward and leak. I suspect that this is one of the reasons that people don’t favor the F30.

I wake up with my mouth wide open because I feel like I can't breath properly. The F20 is perfect so I can't figure out why I'm having this same issue with the F30 and F40.

I'm kind of annoyed I can't find the old gigantic Resmed mask with a forehead support and such... only thing that really worked was one of those and then strapping it so tight to my head I heard my skull creaking.
