AirTouch F20 Memory Foam Mask - A Ladie's Review

If you have ever given consideration to trying out the Memory Foam CPAP Mask that ResMed makes, then this blog is for you. My wife Caitlin has been on CPAP for quite a few years now and she is our “go-to” for a quality review on everything we carry. Recently she tried out the AirTouch F20 by ResMed. She did this because she has been getting abrasion on the bridge of her nose. Below we discuss her experience with this Memory Foam Mask.

Why did Caitlin try the AirTouch F20 vs others?

Caitlin is a mouth breather for sure. This means that she would either need a Nasal Mask with chinstrap or mouth tape or she would need to use a Full-Face Style CPAP Mask. After trying a bunch, she settled on the full face. Just found that style much easier and effective. Over the years she has used the Amara View, Brevida, Simplus, and Vitera to name a few. Recently she started to experience more issues with the mask rubbing her raw at the bridge of the nose. She needed some kind of relief. So, I brought her home the AirTouch F20 from ResMed. This mask is made of memory foam instead of silicone. Supposedly giving the user a much more comfortable experience.

What did Caitlin think of the AirTouch F20?

Obviously, owning a CPAP business helps when you want to try new Masks. Caitlin could use any mask she wants and swap any time she wants. So, it just makes sense to try them all. the AirTouch is probably the very last that she has tried, and I am not really sure why. Maybe she thought it was just too different to work or that she wouldn’t like memory foam. As with anything however, once you try it you find pros and cons that you didn’t predict. Below we detail her positive and negative reviews on the mask.

Caitlin’s AirTouch F20 Pros:

• Great for the Hair– As we know hair is a big deal for the ladies. Cailtin is able to get much less “kinks” and issues with her hair on this particular mask.
• Soft on the face– The foam gives a very light touch on the face which gives a great seal without the discomfort.
• Less irritation at bridge of nose– She says that there is still a bit of discomfort at the bridge of the nose, but WAY less than the Silicone versions she has tried.

Caitlin’s AirTouch F20 Cons:

• When it starts leaking it is over– You need to have an extra AirTouch F20 cushion lying around in case yours wears out. Once they go bad there isn’t much you can do to resolve the leak.
• Still has some irritation at bridge of nose– Even though it is better she still gets marks on the bridge of her nose. Nothing significant, but it should be pointed out.
