Replacement for N30i Medium Nasal Cushion, Soft Curved Cradle Around The Nose, Snug Fit & No Leaks

I ordered the new ResMed air fit P30i. The pillows attachment was hard to remove for cleaning, and I wanted to try the nasal, so I ordered this one and it snaps in and out without any issues. Doctor had told me to try a medium with this order, but I will be going back to a small. Very comfortable fit.

I have really been struggling to find something, nosepillows, or a mask that was comfortable and did the job. This is it! I have been searching for 6 months and had resigned myself to the regular nose pillows that fit to each nostril. Could use the full-face choices, still did not like the regular nose pillows I saw this. Got it, will get a subscription for it, works great, fits on my resmed harness no problem, and my events have dropped. If you use nose pillows I highly recommend this.

My size is typically a medium but ResMed’s version leaked like crazy and would not seal properly. I next tried this third-party design in small but it’s too tight. Does Goldilocks have an answer? Yes, and no. I recommend this design which is similar to the original ResMed design. However, neither small or large fits my particular pointyish nose as well as the nasal pillow design. By the way, if comparing solutions, MediColor and MediHealer products appear to be identical. I highly recommend the MediColor / Medihealer P30i pillow cushion and have reviewed it separately. You may find it to be far superior to ResMed’s latest design, as I do.

I often find that less expensive CPAP products have some value and some problems, and that was the case with this nose piece. If you use it as it comes out of the box, it will probably leak a lot of air; not so much from not fitting your nose, but from the exhale holes. There are too many. Once I took some clear adhesive tape and closed up half the holes, the air exchange is much better. I get the recommended air supply from the CPAP machine, and when I exhale, I get rid of carbon dioxide properly. I use the ResMed myAir app to chart my use and it measures about 5 L/min leak once I added the tape. Before I added the tape, the leak was so great that my leak rating on the app was “needs adjustment “. Without the tape hack, I would not recommend this product.

I had been using the Resmed N30i nose pillows and I started getting bright red marks around my nose and mouth and small water blisters. I switched to the Medicolor nose pillow and it is so much better. I am not getting the marks anymore so I am assuming I am allergic to the latex in the N30i. This one uses silicone so no reaction. I did find that the Medicolor is a little tighter than my usual small size so I ordered the medium and it worked out great.

The thing has holes in the front and it leaks out there at alarming rate. Thst cannot be good for the treatment of the apnea! I want my money back and this product off the market. Completely wrong to do this to people suffering from a health problem.

I’ve been using the latest Resmed model and have noticed two design flaws: 1) the front vent panel occasionally pops out while I’m sleeping, so when I wake up, the CPAP has turned itself for an unknown period of time; 2) the cushion presses in on the sides of my nostrils, obstructing air flow. This alternative cushion fits well, is comfortable, and has neither of those defects.

Having a hard time breathing with it.The openings don’t line up quite with my nostrils.
