2 min read By HHZ Editorial Next review

All three share ResMed's tube-up 30i frame and a 4–30 cmH2O range, and the cushions are interchangeable. Choose the AirFit F30i ($167) for a silicone under-nose full-face cushion, the AirTouch F30i ($173 Clear, $184 Comfort) for a fabric cushion and the quietest published sound (20 dBA), or the AirFit X30i ($185) for nasal pillows plus an oral cushion. All use magnets. Prices are from ResMed's eShop on 13 October 2026. This comparison is based on ResMed's user guide, not hands-on testing.

Verdict

Because the cushions are interchangeable on one frame, you can switch styles without starting over. The silicone AirFit F30i is the value pick; the AirTouch F30i trades cost for a fabric cushion and lower published sound; the X30i suits pillows users who need mouth coverage. For a traditional full-face seal or pressures above 30 cmH2O, see AirFit F20 vs F30i.
