This cushion adapts to the contours of each user's face, providing a personalized fit that significantly reduces pressure marks and discomfort. Unlike silicone cushions, the ResMed N20 memory foam delivers a superior seal that accommodates movement during sleep without compromising therapy effectiveness.
- Magnetic Clips for Easy Use: The AirTouch n20 mask is equipped with magnetic clips that make the mask easy to put on and take off. This feature is particularly beneficial for users who may struggle with dexterity or who frequently adjust their mask. The clips of N20 AirTouch nasal mask securely hold the mask in place, yet allow for quick disconnection, simplifying the routine of setting up and removing the mask.
- Plush Headgear for Additional Comfort: The headgear of the n20 AirTouch is designed with comfort in mind. It features plush straps that provide a soft feel against the skin while ensuring the mask stays securely in position throughout the night. This plush headgear is adjustable, allowing users to find the perfect fit without exerting unnecessary pressure on the face.
- Free Move-ability With Frame and Hose Flexibility: The AirTouch n20 features a flexible frame that enhances comfort and adaptability, allowing users to move freely without compromising the mask's fit. The flexibility of ResMed memory foam mask is complemented by a hose connection with a quick-release elbow that swivels, providing greater freedom of movement. Users can easily adjust their sleeping position throughout the night without disrupting the placement of the mask, ensuring uninterrupted CPAP therapy
- Minimal Contact Design: The minimal contact design of the ResMed CPAP nasal mask reduces pressure on the nose and face, enhancing comfort and reducing the risk of red marks and irritation. This design feature is particularly beneficial for users who are prone to discomfort with more invasive masks and those who value a more open field of vision, which allows for activities like reading or watching TV before sleep.
- Compatibility with All CPAP and BiPAP Machines: The ResMed AirTouch CPAP n20 for her mask small and standard size versions are designed to be compatible with all CPAP and standard BiPAP, VPAP machines, making it a versatile choice for users regardless of their specific machine model. This universal compatibility ensures that users can integrate the ResMed nose mask into their existing sleep therapy system without the need for additional adapters or equipment.
The AirTouch N20 Nasal CPAP Mask by ResMed offers versatility with its interchangeable cushions. Users can choose between the UltraSoft memory foam cushion for ultimate comfort and the AirFit N20’s silicone cushion for a firmer fit and easier maintenance. This feature allows users to tailor their therapy experience according to their comfort preferences and cleaning routines, adding a layer of customization that is not often found in CPAP masks.
Benefits of ResMed AirTouch N20 Nasal CPAP Mask
- Enhanced Comfort and Reduced Irritation: The UltraSoft memory foam cushion is a game-changer for users who experience skin irritation with traditional silicone cushions. The soft, breathable memory foam of the AirTouch n20 nasal CPAP mask by ResMed helps prevent red marks and discomfort, making CPAP therapy more comfortable and encouraging consistent use.
- Superior Seal and Stability: The CPAP memory foam cushion of the ResMed AirTouch n20 provides an excellent seal, which is essential for effective CPAP therapy. It adapts to changes in position during sleep, maintaining a secure fit that prevents air leaks. This stability ensures that users receive optimal therapy regardless of their sleeping position.
- Easy Maintenance: While memory foam cushions are not washable like silicone cushions, they are designed for easy replacement. The ResMed N20 AirTouch mask allows for the cushion to be easily detached and replaced, helping to maintain hygiene and cushion integrity over time.
- Enhanced Sleep Quality: The combination of the UltraSoft memory foam cushion and the minimal contact design not only enhances comfort but also significantly improves overall sleep quality. By providing a better seal and reducing air leaks, the n20 AirTouch CPAP mask with memory foam ensures that users receive consistent and effective therapy throughout the night. This consistent delivery of therapy contributes to better sleep.
- Reduced Sound Disturbance: Another notable benefit of the ResMed CPAP nasal mask is its quiet operation. Thanks to the QuietAir woven-mesh venting technology integrated into the mask, the AirTouch n20 for her mask small and standard size versions diffuse exhaled air more quietly than many other masks on the market. This feature is crucial for both the user and their bed partner, as it minimizes the sound of the outgoing air, contributing to a quieter sleep environment.
- Stress-Free Maintenance and Hygiene: While the memory foam cushion of the ResMed nose mask does require more frequent replacement than silicone cushions, this material offers a significant benefit in terms of hygiene and skin health. The memory foam nasal mask is designed for single-user use and is not intended to be washed, which simplifies maintenance routines. Instead, users can replace the cushion periodically to ensure the AirTouch n20 mask remains hygienic and effective.
This feature is particularly advantageous for users who may find the cleaning requirements of traditional CPAP masks challenging or time-consuming. Regular replacement of the cushion helps maintain the mask’s performance and ensures that the therapy remains as effective and sanitary as possible.

Step-by-Step Assembly Guide
Assembling the ResMed AirTouch N20 Nasal CPAP Mask with headgear is designed to be straightforward and user-friendly, ensuring a hassle-free setup that allows users to quickly begin or continue their CPAP therapy with minimal fuss.
Here's a detailed step-by-step guide on how to assemble the AirTouch N20:
Step 1: Unpack and Inspect Components
Begin by unpacking all the components included in your AirTouch N20 package. Typically, this will include:
- The mask frame
- The UltraSoft memory foam cushion
- The headgear
- Magnetic headgear clips
- The elbow (if not already attached)
Inspect each component to ensure there are no defects or damages that could affect the performance or comfort of your mask.
Step 2: Attach the Cushion to the Mask Frame
- Identify the correct orientation of the cushion: The UltraSoft memory foam cushion is specifically shaped to fit under the nose without extending over the bridge. Ensure the cushion is oriented correctly with the narrower section toward the top.
- Attach the cushion: Align the cushion with the mask frame. There are usually small notches or tabs that help guide correct placement. Press the cushion into the frame until it clicks into place, indicating it is securely attached.
Step 3: Connect the Elbow
- Locate the elbow connector: This is the part that connects the mask to the CPAP hose.
- Attach the elbow: If the elbow is not pre-attached, connect it to the top of the mask frame. It should snap into place easily. Ensure it is securely attached and can rotate freely, as this will allow for more movement during sleep without pulling on the hose.
Step 4: Attach the Headgear
- Position the headgear: Make sure the headgear is laid out flat and the Velcro tabs are open.
- Attach the headgear to the mask frame: Use the magnetic clips to attach the headgear to the mask frame. The clips should snap onto the frame easily. Make sure each side is evenly adjusted to ensure a balanced fit.
Step 5: Adjust for Fit
- Put on the mask: Hold the mask against your face with the cushion positioned under your nose.
- Pull the headgear over your head: Adjust the straps to achieve a snug, but comfortable fit. The headgear should be tight enough to hold the mask securely in place but not so tight that it feels uncomfortable or causes pressure marks.
Step 6: Connect to the CPAP Machine
- Attach the CPAP hose: Connect your CPAP hose to the elbow connector on the mask.
- Ensure a secure connection: Make sure the hose is securely attached to prevent any disconnections during the night.
Step 7: Perform a Leak Test
- Turn on your CPAP machine: Start with a low pressure to ensure comfort.
- Check for leaks: Feel around the edges of the mask while the machine is running. Adjust the fit if you detect any leaks to ensure the mask is sealing properly.
By following these steps, you can ensure that your ResMed AirTouch N20 Nasal CPAP Mask is assembled correctly and ready to provide you with comfortable and effective therapy.
Additional Tips
- Regular Maintenance: Regularly check all parts of the mask for wear and tear. Replace the memory foam cushion as recommended (usually every 30 days) to maintain optimal performance and hygiene.
- Cleaning: Follow the manufacturer's instructions for cleaning the mask. Generally, the frame and headgear can be washed with warm soapy water. Avoid getting the memory foam cushion wet, as it is not designed to be washed.
