How do people like the new Resmed AirFit N10 and F10?

Post by rsprods » Tue May 06, 2014 6:17 pm

I ordered both masks the day they were announced and I'm on the fence about both. I like the N10 because I can get a good seal with no leaks - even though I have a beard and mustache - but it does put a lot of pressure on my upper lip. I wish it had a gel lining and/or a swivel system to adjust the angle of the mask, in order to cushion the pressure on the upper lip. Personally, I preferred the design of the Swift FX Nano nasal mask (less frame and hard plastic than the AirFit N10) but, like many others have mentioned, it tends to pull upwards against the bottom of the nose, causing indentations and pain. So while the N10 has much more of a frame than the Nano, it seems to achieve a better fit for me.

As for the AirFit F10 full-face mask, it's fairly comfortable and less cumbersome than other full face masks I've tried, but I can't achieve a good seal below my lower lip due to my beard (even though I've trimmed it very short), so I'm having a bad time with leaks. I've had the same issue with the other full face masks I've tried and was hoping this one would be the exception to the rule.

I'm curious what others' experiences have been with both of these new masks and would appreciate any fitting tips!

Many thanks!

Here's a recent thread that's pretty comprehensive:

I like my ResMed AirFit F10 FFM - reasonably low leaks for my ASV therapy. I'm currently using a PR S1 AutoSV 960P Advanced. I also keep a ResMed S9 Adapt as backup. I use a heated Hibernite hose. Still rockin' with Win 7 by using GWX to stop Win 10.

Thank you. For some reason I couldn't find that thread before posting mine. I''ll post my questions and feedback there.
