AirFit F20 vs AirTouch F20: Which to Choose?

AirFit F20 vs AirTouch F20: Which Full-Face CPAP Mask Is Right for You?

The ResMed AirFit F20 and the ResMed AirTouch F20 share the same frame, headgear and InfinitySeal bubble - but their cushions are completely different. One uses classic silicone, the other ultra-soft memory foam. This guide helps you make the right choice.

Overview of Both Masks

The AirFit F20 is one of the world's best-selling full-face CPAP masks. Its silicone cushion conforms to the contours of the face and provides reliable sealing for most patients. It is available in sizes XS, S, M and L, and comes in an AirFit F20 For Her version designed for smaller face profiles.

The AirTouch F20 uses exactly the same frame but replaces the silicone cushion with a UltraSoft memory foam cushion that moulds to the heat and pressure of your face. The result: a softer contact, less pressure on the nasal bridge, and typically fewer red marks in the morning.

Pros and Cons in Detail

AirFit F20 - Who Is It For?

Pros: easy maintenance (washable), longer lifespan, lower long-term cost, XS size available.
Cons: may leave marks if overtightened, silicone contact is less immediately soft than foam.
Best for: users who want a reliable, easy-to-clean mask with controlled cushion replacement costs.

AirTouch F20 - Who Is It For?

Pros: immediate comfort from memory foam, less pressure on the face, fewer morning marks, highly appreciated by pressure-sensitive patients.
Cons: more delicate maintenance (no soaking), shorter lifespan, not available in XS.
Best for: patients who complain about marks, nasal bridge pain, or who have sensitive skin.

The AirTouch F20 cushion must never be soaked in water. Immersion destroys the foam. Wipe gently with a soft damp cloth only.

InfinitySeal Technology: Shared by Both

Both masks share the same InfinitySeal bubble, which self-adjusts to facial movements during the night. This design reduces leaks even when you change sleeping position. The magnetic headgear also makes quick fitting and removal easy.

Can You Swap Cushions Between Them?

Yes. The AirFit F20 and AirTouch F20 cushions are compatible with the same frame. You can buy an AirFit F20 frame and alternate between a silicone and a foam cushion. This is a good strategy to find what suits you best without buying a completely new mask.
