Description
Quick answer: The ResMed AirFit F30i is a compact full face CPAP mask that combines two comfort features: a cushion that seals under the nose (not over the bridge) and a tube that connects at the top of the head (tube-up). The top-of-head tubing routes the hose up and away, so it doesn’t drag across your body or tangle when you move — ideal for active and side sleepers — while the under-nose cushion keeps the nasal bridge clear. Complete system: frame, cushion, and headgear. Note: the “i” tube-up F30i is different from the front-connecting F30. A prescription is required.
What’s included
- 1 × AirFit F30i frame (tube-up, with elbow)
- 1 × cushion (in your selected size)
- 1 × headgear
You’ll need your own CPAP machine and tubing. Prescription required.
About this mask
The AirFit F30i brings together two of ResMed’s most-liked comfort ideas in one full face mask:
- Under-the-nose cushion — like the F30, the cushion seals below the nostrils and over the mouth, so there’s no pressure on the bridge of the nose and a clear field of view for reading or glasses.
- Tube-up (“i”) design — the tube connects at the top of the head through the frame, routing the hose up and away from your face and body. That means less tube drag and tangling when you change position — a favourite feature for active sleepers, side sleepers, and stomach sleepers.
The frame is designed with hollow side tubes that carry the air from the top connection down to the cushion, and it uses diffused venting to stay quiet. It’s a full face mask (covers nose and mouth), so it suits people who breathe through their mouth or have nasal congestion, but in a far more minimal, less bulky form than a traditional full face mask.
Don’t confuse it with the F30: the F30 connects at the front (a conventional short elbow); the F30i connects at the top of the head (tube-up). Same under-nose idea, different tube routing — and different frames/parts.

Sizing note
The F30i uses a frame size (commonly Small or Standard) plus a cushion size — the two are chosen separately, and getting both right is what gives a clean seal with the tube-up design. Many F30i cushions are shared with the F30 range. Use the ResMed AirFit F30i sizing guide (frame + cushion), or contact us at (646) 933-0080 for help. Note: confirm the frame/cushion sizes for this listing, or set them up as options.
Important: full face, vented mask (for CPAP)
This is a vented full face mask for standard CPAP and BiLevel machines — it vents exhaled air through its own vents. It is not a non-vented ventilator mask. Make sure you’re ordering the right one for your equipment.
