Choosing a Fisher & Paykel CPAP Mask
Fisher & Paykel Healthcare offers a range of CPAP masks designed for different breathing preferences, face shapes and sleeping styles. The range includes full face, nasal and nasal pillow masks, with different cushion, headgear and hose configurations.
When choosing an F&P CPAP mask, consider how you breathe during sleep, how much facial coverage you prefer, where you want the CPAP hose positioned and which cushion design feels most comfortable.
Fisher & Paykel Full Face CPAP Masks
A full face CPAP mask covers both the nose and mouth. This style may be worth considering if you regularly breathe through your mouth while sleeping or experience nasal congestion that makes nasal breathing difficult.
Popular Fisher & Paykel full face masks include the Evora Full Face and Vitera.
The Evora Full Face uses an under-the-nose design to reduce facial coverage, while the Vitera uses a more traditional full face cushion.

Fisher & Paykel Nasal CPAP Masks
Fisher & Paykel nasal masks deliver CPAP therapy through the nose while providing less facial coverage than a full face mask.
The range includes several different designs, including the Eson 2, Evora Nasal, Solo Nasal and Nova Nasal.
Rather than choosing a nasal mask based on model alone, consider the cushion shape, headgear, hose position and how the mask feels when you're lying in your normal sleeping position.
A nasal mask may be suitable if you breathe comfortably through your nose and prefer less facial coverage than a full face mask.
Compare these models with our complete range of nasal CPAP masks.
Fisher & Paykel Nasal Pillow Masks
Nasal pillow masks use small cushions that seal at or around the nostrils, providing CPAP therapy with minimal facial contact.
Fisher & Paykel options include the Brevida and Nova Micro, which offer different approaches to cushion design, headgear and fitting.
A nasal pillow mask may appeal if you breathe comfortably through your nose and prefer a lightweight, minimal mask.

Evora, Vitera, Solo, Brevida and Nova – What's the Difference?
Fisher & Paykel uses several product families across its CPAP mask range.
Evora Full Face provides nose-and-mouth coverage with a compact under-the-nose cushion.
Vitera is a more traditional full face mask with a cushion covering the nose and mouth.
Evora Nasal is a compact nasal mask designed to seal underneath the nose.
Solo Nasal uses F&P's AutoFit-style headgear system and a nasal cushion.
Brevida is a lightweight nasal pillow mask.
Nova Micro provides a compact nasal pillow interface with minimal facial coverage.
Nova Nasal provides a nasal interface for people who prefer a nasal mask rather than nasal pillows.
There isn't one F&P mask that's right for everyone. The best choice depends on your breathing, face shape, comfort preferences and the type of mask seal you prefer.
F&P Mask Hose Position and Freedom of Movement
Hose position can make a noticeable difference to how a CPAP mask feels during the night.
Some Fisher & Paykel masks use a traditional front hose connection, while other designs aim to reduce how much the tubing interferes with movement.
When comparing masks, consider where your CPAP machine sits in relation to your bed and whether your existing hose tends to pull against your mask as you change position.
A comfortable setup should allow you to move naturally while maintaining a reliable mask seal.
Do Fisher & Paykel Masks Work With Other CPAP Machines?
Fisher & Paykel CPAP masks use standard CPAP tubing connections and can generally be used with standard CPAP and APAP machines from manufacturers including Fisher & Paykel and ResMed.
This means you don't normally need to use the same brand of CPAP machine and mask.
Portable CPAP machines can use different connection systems, however, so check compatibility before using an F&P mask with a travel CPAP device.
If you're unsure whether a particular Fisher & Paykel mask will work with your CPAP setup, AwakeNZ can help confirm compatibility before you order.
Getting a Good Fisher & Paykel CPAP Mask Fit
A comfortable mask fit is important for maintaining a reliable seal during CPAP therapy.
If your F&P mask is leaking or becoming uncomfortable, check:
- That you're using the correct mask and cushion size
- That the cushion is positioned correctly
- That the headgear is adjusted evenly
- That the cushion and mask components are clean
- That worn cushions or headgear don't need replacing
- That the CPAP hose isn't pulling the mask out of position
Avoid automatically tightening the headgear when a leak develops. Excessive tightening can increase discomfort and doesn't always correct the cause of the leak.
Fisher & Paykel CPAP Mask Replacement Parts
CPAP mask cushions, pillows, headgear and other components gradually wear with regular use.
Replacing worn components can help restore comfort and mask seal without requiring you to replace the complete mask.
AwakeNZ stocks Fisher & Paykel mask cushions, headgear and replacement parts for many popular F&P mask models.
Always check the exact model and size of your existing mask before ordering replacement parts.
