How do I select the correct size frame?Updated 3 days ago

While the cushion size plays the biggest role in sealing your mask properly, the frame size is equally important for overall fit and comfort - especially with full face masks or masks with magnetic clips.


🧠 Here’s what you need to know:

✅ Most mask frames are universal across sizes

For many popular masks (like the ResMed AirFit F20, F30, N20, and N30i/P30i), the frame is a standard size that works with all cushion sizes.

For example:

  • The AirFit F20 frame fits Small, Medium, and Large cushions.

  • The N30i/P30i frame comes in two frame sizes (Small and Standard) to match your head size—not your cushion size.

So:

  • Choose your cushion size based on the printable sizing guide

  • Select your frame size based on your head shape and facial width


📏 How to choose the right frame size (if applicable):

If a mask offers multiple frame sizes (like Small, Standard, or Large), here are general guidelines:

Head Size / Face WidthRecommended Frame Size
Petite / narrow faceSmall
Average / most usersStandard (or Medium)
Broad / wide face or jawlineLarge

If you're on the borderline between two sizes, we generally recommend trying the Standard frame first.
