- The new ResMed AirFit F40 is a very cool option for CPAP users. In this video we show you have to setup, maintain, fit, and use the F40. We will also review this mask and go over the pros and cons. We also compare it to the other CPAP mask options on the market now.

Tried the F40 for the first time last night and it was great. I have been using the F20 and was on the verge of giving up on a full mask. However, fearing my mouth dropping I was going to switch to the F30i. The office I go to was out of stock and asked me if I wanted to try the F40. I am so glad they had no stock of the F30i. The F40 was so much better on my face than the F20. I can roll over on my side and have no issues. My mask seal was at an all time low of 1.2 last night With the F20 I was seeing anything from 15-25 on average, and sometimes even higher.
From a sizing standpoint I was sized with a standard headgear and a large mask. I was measured to fit into a Medium mask; however when I tried on both the medium and large I found the large was more comfortable because it gave me a little more room on each side of my mouth, as well as underneath my bottom lip. Like I said above, I think this mask is great and a huge improvement from the F20. All of my scores were good and I slept with it for 7.11 hours. My events per hour was 1.2, which is good on its own, but I thought it would have been higher trying a new mask for the first time. I was pleasantly surprised and happy with the results.
Great Input! Thank you.
I just receive my ResMed F40 a couple days ago i was using the nasal pillows was having irritation so far the F40 fits great i am a side sleeper had a little leakage adjust the straps had no more problems i am getting a good air flow what i like once you adjust the straps you do not have to keep adjusting them i am sleeping better when i wake up i feel refresh i have experience a lot of mask think the F40 is the one for me
Nice!
I'm in my first month of using my APAP machine with this particular mask. My problem is when i switch to my side, i get leaks and have to adjust it. But i tried the F20 that my husband has and i hated it. I didn't like it between in my eyes. I love the F40 head gear... it's more comfortable than the F20 for me. I will keep trying to make this work for me because i do think it's the best one for me. Thank you for this video...i found it very helpful!
You are welcome. Good Luck!
I'm doing great with this mask now....thanks again for this video!
Can you done a rundown of all the cpap settings you're currently using? Whats the ideal temp, humidity, pressure settings, ramp settings, etc. Im just curious. Thanks for the video. Very informative!
Great suggestion!
Where did you get the sizing chart? I had to print mine fron the internet. When I did print it, the chart that showed an inch measurement printed out different than a ture inch measurement
I don't remember if it was longer or shorter than an inch. I then kept zooming in or out to make it finally measure an inch. Then I was finally able to measure my nose on the chart. When I got my mask, I don't think I got the right size mask. Any thoughts?
The size gauge that I show in the video came with the mask. If you still have the packaging from your mask it should be in there. What size did you get, and where is your leak or issue on the fit?
Great review. I'm a long-time F-20 full-face user, and a mouth breather, with a mustache. You've indicated in answering a previous question that the F-40 is perfect for mouth breathers. How does it do with a mustache? Thanks!
That differs from person to person. Depending on how amazing your mustache is. HAHA! We have had plenty of customers with mustaches do just fine with a mask like this.
This is a terrible mask even without facial hair lol the seal on each side of the nostrils is bad I have all 3 sizes and they all leak in the same spot I dunno how someone can sleep with air blowing into their eyes
It is ok on low pressures but the moment they get over 8 you leak if you move at all
Agree, horrible mask, 5 nights of hell and back to my F20. I have a gote, and am a side sleeper. The F40 was awful.
How about for side sleepers ?
It should be a great option for side sleepers.
I currently am using an Airfit N30i mask and have to tape my mouth shut each night to avoid leaks. Will the F40 "full face" mask stop the need for tapping my mouth? How easily does your lower jaw drop down with the F40?
It potentially can. Certainly worth a try.
You will have to tape or it will leak or pick up the resmed Chin strap
What setting is your machine on for this? full mask or pillows?
Pillows.
Which mask liners are compatible with this mask?
I do not think that there are any yet.
I'm constantly getting 0 and 1 out of 20 mask leaks. I get perfect scores on all else.I need help
If it is that bad, then you might should consider a different mask.
If you’re a mouth breather will this work?
Yes the F40 is good for mouth breathers.
Pretty neat. I use a ResMed pillow, but it is kinda noisy according to my wife. Don't think I heard you mention this, but I guess this new mask can't be used by people who have facial hair (mustache and goatee)?
Works great for me with a trimmed beard. Perfect seal score every night.
I think that it is still worth a try in your scenario.
Really wanted to like this but coming from an airtouch F20, this mask irritated the area between nostrils, leaked like crazy from the nasal pillows when you yawn, twitch your nose or lay on your side. As said, I REALLY, wanted to make this switch but now have a $170 mask system that is crap. Back to the F20 and sleeping like a baby.
So f 20 is the better choice
I
@@jennytaylor6920 it was for me. I'm a mouth and nose breather depending on allergies so I need a full face option. Was hoping the F40 would be the new, smaller, lighter, more flexible way to go but OMG the leaks.
Great input. Thanks for watching!
Does this help with dry mouth? I cannot tolerate a chin strap…shoves my jaw into a painful position. Mouth tape helps, but that isn’t ideal.
Worth a try for sure.
Used this last night for the first time, my AHI score doubled for the night and i would wake every couple hours, like I did before cpap. Eventually I swapped back to my F20 for the last few hours, and now I feel like a zombie today. I'll try it again, but I was incredible disappointed by it.
It is not right for everyone. But sometimes adjustments or a different size can make a huge difference. Where was the leak coming from ?
At least you are sleeping...lol.. I feel like the whole cpap experience has been useless to me. Sure.. I'm not snoring I suppose.. and my AHI scores are low (if you believe the machine numbers) but sleep.... still waking up 3 times a night and not feeling any more awake during the day!
No point it is a bad mask
@@Johndada517 why do you say this?
@pesto12601 it's just not a good mask and it's expensive to try all of the sizes if you think you ended up with the wrong size .... they all leak in the same exact spot
how is this for sidesteppers?
I think that it will be a great option for side sleepers.
I figured out that if I kind of overlap another pillow on top of the bottom pillow and then sleep kind of in the edge of the top one, I don't get leaks. I hope this helps. I'm now at a point where once I fall asleep, I don't move so it works great for me.
What is the object of a second hose? Will it wofk with a heated hose?
Gives you more mobility. Works great with heated tubing.
Why a second hose? Will it work with a heated hose?
Give you more mobility. Works great with heated tubing.
Does the ClimateLine tube fit this mask?
Yes
I have a very small face/head and small narrow nose. How did your wife or how are women reporting the fit of this. Surprised they did not offer a Standard SMALL. Disappointed!
Small and narrow noses have trouble with this style mask unfortunately. You can try the smallest size, but it is usually tough.
Bad design had to go back to my Amara
Thanks for the input.
I tried it last night and couldn't get a good seal / fit to save my life. Basically lost a night of sleep. Did you have similar issues?
@akeylawhite9217 same issue for me I have all 3 sizes and they all have terrible leaking .... especially if you move At all
Same here, leakes like bidens brain.
It’s not minimal.
Thanks for the input.
