CPAP product reviews and other helpful tips for CPAP users!

Finally, a mask made for sleepers in all positions.

Hate wearing your CPAP because you love sleeping on your stomach? Not to worry, Resmed just came out with the latest AirFit series, the AirFit N30i Nasal CPAP Mask. Is this a nasal or nasal pillow mask, you ask? Resmed introduces it as a Nasal Cradle Mask. Instead of covering your entire nose like a traditional nasal mask, the AirFit N30i sits discreetly under your nose and not in it as the average nasal pillows mask. The tube connector is designed to be on the top of your head which provides freedom for users to sleep in many positions. Since the nasal cradle cushion sits comfortably under the nose rather than over the nasal bridge, this mask is designed for side or stomach sleepers. 

Let us answer some of your FAQs! 

How many sizes does it come in? 

The AirFit N30i comes in two different size starter pack, the Small and the Standard. Most of our female clientele use the small size whereas the male population fits into the standard size. Both sizes are sold as fitpacks coming with small, medium and small-wide nasal cradles cushions.  There's an option of purchasing a medium-wide cushion separately if you require additional sizing.   

How stable is the mask? 

The AirFit N30i SpringFit frame is designed to be very stable and create a personalized fit. The nasal cradle is slightly curved so that it follows the natural curve of your nose tip for a perfect fit. You can also adjust the back strap to make sure the mask does not move around at night. 

Is it going to irritate or leave marks on my cheeks? 

You can use the soft wraps included in the package to cover the sides, which creates a barrier between the silicone and your cheeks to provide extra comfort. The soft wraps will also prevent you from waking up with those stubborn marks on your cheeks as well!

How do I buy this mask? 

Great question! The AirFit N30i is available across Canada in CPAP retailers or online for the best value.  Place your order on our website CPAPmachines.ca and see if free this mask qualifies for free shipping for your order. 

Our CPAPmachines.ca team has always been asked the same question repeatedly, “Can I use my CPAP machine to get more air during the day?”  The answer is NO! CPAP therapy doesn’t give you more air, it only provides the user with pressurized air to maintain an open airway. Thus, using the CPAP during the daytime would not give you better air. However, we live by the promise that when you have a problem, we will find you a solution. So, let us proudly introduce to you our latest addition to our product family, the O2 Curve - Personal Anti-Pollution Filtration Mask. 

Did you know that Canadians invented the first gas mask to protect soldiers from chemical warfare in WWI? With a similar idea, O2 Canada developed an everyday air pollution mask that people from the most deadly particles not visible to the human eye. The reusable personal anti-pollution filtration mask is designed specifically for daily use. It is great for athletes that exercise outdoors, population that suffers from nasal allergies, people who live in an air-polluted area as well as CPAP users who wish to breathe in better air throughout the day! But I must remind you that this mask is a non-CPAP related product. It is a new wearable technology that could improve the quality of your everyday life. 

First, let’s take a look at the design! 

With the ability to change up the shell colour; you can match your O2 Curve with every outfit you choose. Not only is the O2 Curve trendy and fashionable; it also works just as well as an N95 mask.  

So, let’s talk about how the filter actually works! 

With the breathable filtration technology; you can choose between two highly effective filters. The Commuter Filters and the Competitors Filters. These electrostatic filters trap mechanical pollutants found in pollution as well as bacteria and diseases. And how do they do that? Well, these filters are charged with pockets of both negative and positive ions, which attract, trap and neutralize small particles. The Commuter Filters and designed for everyday wear whereas the Competitors Filters are made for those who exercise outdoor and need a more breathable filter. 

And the best of all?
