Fisher And Paykel Zest Q Nasal

A comfortable, well sealed mask is the single biggest factor in getting along with your equipment. This guide covers mask styles, general fitting tips, and when to replace parts. It is general information, not medical advice. Follow the fitting instructions supplied with your specific mask.

Find your mask style

• Full face: covers nose and mouth. Often suits people who breathe through their mouth or use higher pressures.
• Nasal: covers the nose. A popular all-round style.
• Nasal pillows: sit at the nostrils. Minimal contact, good for people who feel closed in by larger masks or wear glasses in bed.

General fitting tips

• Fit the mask while lying down in your usual sleeping position, since your face changes shape when you lie back.
• Tighten the headgear just enough to stop leaks. Over-tightening usually makes leaks and discomfort worse, not better.
• Most mask ranges come in several cushion sizes. The right size is about shape, not just face size, so a fit pack with multiple sizes can help you find the best match.

When to replace cushions and parts

Cushions and silicone seals wear and soften with use, which can lead to leaks over time. Headgear stretches. Replacing these on a regular schedule helps keep a reliable seal. See mask parts for cushions, headgear, and clips.

If you cannot get comfortable

Persistent leaks, marks, or discomfort are common reasons people switch mask styles. If you are struggling, talk to your clinician or call our team, and consider trying a different style.
