Updated July 2026 7 min read CPAP Mask Spotlight · UK Guide

Finding the right CPAP mask can significantly improve your sleep therapy experience. If you frequently change sleeping positions or dislike bulky masks, the ResMed AirFit™ F30i Full Face CPAP Mask Kit offers an innovative solution.

Designed with an under-the-nose cushion and a top-of-head tube connection, the AirFit F30i provides the comfort of a minimal-contact mask while delivering the reliable performance expected from a full face CPAP mask — ideal whether you're a side sleeper, stomach sleeper, or simply want more freedom to move during the night.

What Is the ResMed AirFit™ F30i?

A full face mask that moves the way you do.

A hollow-frame design lets air flow through the frame itself while the tube connects at the top of your head, reducing facial contact and adding real flexibility while you sleep.

🎯
Top-of-Head Tube
The hose stays above your head instead of hanging in front of your face, cutting hose drag and mask pulling.
🌙
Under-the-Nose Cushion
Soft silicone that sits beneath the nose, reducing pressure on the nasal bridge and feelings of claustrophobia.
👁️
Minimal Facial Contact
Less material touching your face means fewer pressure points and better visibility before sleep.
🪶
SpringFit™ Frame
Automatically adapts to different facial shapes for a stable fit without excessive strap tension.
🔉
QuietAir™ Vent Technology
Gently disperses exhaled air to keep the mask quiet for you and your bed partner.
🧲
Magnetic Headgear Clips
Snap into place each night for a fast, fuss-free routine — no strap re-threading required.
Why UK CPAP Users Choose It

Five reasons the AirFit F30i stands out.

Each feature is designed to solve a specific frustration with bulkier full face masks.

1

Freedom of Movement
Top-of-head tube connection
One of the standout features of the AirFit F30i is its top-mounted tube connection. Instead of the hose hanging in front of your face, it stays above your head — giving greater freedom of movement, less hose drag, easier side sleeping, and reduced mask pulling. This design is especially popular among active sleepers who frequently change positions.
Easier side sleeping Less hose drag
2

Comfort
Under-the-nose cushion
The AirFit F30i uses a soft silicone cushion that sits comfortably beneath the nose, helping reduce pressure on the nasal bridge, minimise red marks, improve comfort, and reduce feelings of claustrophobia — many users find it more comfortable than traditional full face masks that cover the entire nose.
Fewer red marks Less claustrophobic
3

Minimal Contact
A compact, low-profile design
The compact design reduces the amount of material touching your face, giving fewer pressure points, improved comfort, and better visibility. You can comfortably read, watch television, or wear glasses before falling asleep.
Wear glasses in bed Better visibility
4

Adaptive Fit
SpringFit™ frame
The flexible SpringFit™ frame automatically adapts to different facial shapes while maintaining a stable fit, improving comfort without requiring excessive strap tension.
Adapts to your face
5
Convenience
Magnetic headgear clips
Putting the mask on each night is quick and easy thanks to magnetic clips that securely snap into place. Because the mask contains magnets, users with certain implanted medical devices should review the manufacturer's safety information before use.
Fast bedtime routine
Built for Movement
