Swift FX Nasal Pillows CPAP Mask - ResMed


Quantity

The Swift FX Nasal Pillow System with Headgear by ResMed features an improved pillow design, strategically placed air ports, quiet therapy, soft silicone texture, and secure fit rendering abrasions nonexistent.

ResMed Swift FX – Nasal Pillow Mask

The Swift FX nasal pillow mask from ResMed pairs a smooth silicone frame with soft nasal pillows. The streamlined design leaves most of the face untouched and manages to maintain a seal with very few contact points. Three sizes of nasal pillows are included in the package, making this mask easy to fit for most people. The nasal pillow mask seals effectively for sleep apnea therapy with a loose, comfortable fit that reduces skin irritation and red marks.

Features

  • Flexible nasal pillows

  • Soft, comfortable fit

  • Lightweight and unobtrusive

Dual-wall nasal pillows

The nasal pillow CPAP mask has a dual-wall cushion. The layered cushioning contributes both to better stability and staying power and to user comfort. The dual wall pillows also have a cushioned base that flexes with the movement of the wearer, reducing friction and chafing inside and around the nostrils. Three sizes of nasal pillows (S, M, L) are included with the mask so that you can find the size that fits you best. An XS cushion is available separately, as well.

Smooth silicone frame molds to your facial contours

The silicone frame adjusts to the user’s facial geometry and facial movements. The smooth silicone only touches the face along the cheekbones, so the face is mostly left untouched. The open-face design accommodates facial hair and leaves vision unobstructed. Side sleeping, back sleeping, and even stomach sleeping is possible. Wearing glasses, reading, and watching TV with the mask in place are all no problem. With so few points of contact, facial marks and skin irritation are barely a worry. Fabric wraps are also included in the package to place over the cheek straps as an optional, additional layer of softness.

Loose, stable, comfortable fit

This mask only has three primary parts: the silicone frame, the back strap headgear, and the nasal pillows. These three parts work together to create a stable seal for effective CPAP therapy while allowing a loose fit. A zip-tie-like crown strap pulls the nasal pillows higher into the nose, and the side straps pull the pillow closer to the face. The strap across the back of the head does not use a buckle, so the strap lies flat against the head. A twelve-inch length of tubing connects to the pillows with a swivel adapter. The tubing flexes instead of pulling; as a result, it absorbs motion instead of pulling down on the nasal pillows, allowing the pillows to stay in place.

Sizing and Fitting

The nasal pillows should fit comfortably at the entrance to the nose. The silicone tips should fill the nostrils without spilling over. Choose the largest size that fits snugly without bulging. It comes with small, medium, and large nasal pillows. One of these three sizes fits most people but an XS pillow is also available separately if needed.

Fitting

  • Hold the nasal pillows in the nose with one hand.

  • Hold the headgear by the head strap, with the head strap positioned at the top.

  • Pull the headgear over the head, guiding the head strap to the back of the head.

  • The side straps along the cheeks should rest midway between the eye and ears, neither too far forward nor too far back.

  • First, adjust the ribbed crown strap at the top of the head. This strap pulls the mask up into the nose.

  • Next, adjust the back strap. The back strap should sit midway across the back of the head, not too high or low.

Adjusting for leaks

  • Verify pillow is in place correctly with the ResMed logo facing up.

  • Squeeze the pillow sides to be sure the inner wall is in the correct position.

  • Clean the nasal pillows. Oil, dirt, and makeup can cause slippage.

  • Try a different size of nasal pillows.

FAQ

How does the Swift FX for Her differ from the Swift FX?
The Swift FX for Her uses a slightly smaller headgear and includes an extra-small nasal pillow along with a small and medium pillow. The Swift FX for Her also has an appealing color palette.

I always get a little lost when putting on a new mask. Any tips for getting it oriented?
Hold the mask by the head strap with the head strap in the topmost position (not dangling down). The ResMed logo should face up on the nasal pillow. Tabs on the back of the head strap should face outward. Finally, position the soft wraps with the fasteners and seam facing out, i.e., not against the cheeks.

I have long hair. Will this mask work for me?
Sure. Just pull hair out and over the back strap then make mask adjustments.

Final comments

The Swift FX has been around since 2011. It is one of the earlier released nasal pillow masks with a minimal design. This mask continues to be a favorite of many sleep apnea users because the cushions are springy and the headgear is really quite simple to adjust. The mask also retains its fit night after night so the user just pulls it on and moves on with bedtime. Order one from CPAPMan and find out for yourself why the Swift FX continues to be such a popular nasal pillow mask with sleep apnea patients!

I've used this mask for a couple years or more and I've been on CPAP for over ten years. The Swift FX has been the one I like the best compared to the 7 or 8 that I've tried but It does have a drawback that is the reason I'm on the site looking to see if there might be anything better today.

In its favor, It has the most versatile and comfortable head gear of any I've worn. The problem is in the connection between the angled fitting and the nasal pillows. There is a round connector where the fitting connects to the molded nasal pillow. The fitting snaps into a hard round grommet with grooves around the perimeter into which molded pillows snap, like a rubber band. If you look at the image, it is the round dark ring on the mask.

That connector has the advantage that you can turn your head and the hose fitting pivots inside it - like a bearing. That keeps the mask from twisting when you move your head. And I like that feature a lot. However, that round plastic part too frequently works loose from the mask and is difficult to re-insert. I've fumbled with it many times after it has pulled loose during sleep. It is annoying enough that I am looking for a new mask.

Very nice mask from resmed. I like the nasal pillow ones because you get all of the cushions rather than just one and I didnt know what cushion I needed when I bought my mask. I used the small on the old respironics nasal mask I used but with the nasal pillows I am using the nasal pillow mediums. They fit better and once I got used to them I never had any significant leaks.

Overall this mask is lighter, and I can see more than when I have a big cushion and bar sitting across my nose. This mask is easy to fit!

I didn't know about the Nasal Pillow style mask until I came across this. I gave it a try and it worked like a charm. Fits me well and doesn't move around a lot when I sleep. It is a bit pricey but definitely worth the money if you're looking for a good mask.

Not really a fan of nasal pillow masks but this one is an exception. The pillows don't hurt my nose unlike the few ones I have used. The headgear fits perfectly on my head and it's so easy to adjust.
