Which CPAP Masks Work With the ResMed AirSense 11?
Short answer: almost any standard CPAP mask, ResMed or otherwise. Here's how mask compatibility actually works, and which masks we'd recommend pairing with your AirSense 11.
In this guide
How mask compatibility actually works
The AirSense 11, like almost every full-size CPAP machine on the market — including its predecessor, the AirSense 10 — uses a standard 22mm tubing connection. In practice, that means virtually any CPAP mask with a standard connector will attach to it and work correctly, whether it's a current ResMed model, an older ResMed model, or a mask from another manufacturer entirely.
The exception is the AirMini, ResMed's travel CPAP. It uses a proprietary slim tube and built-in waterless humidification system, so it only pairs with a specific set of AirMini-designed connectors — that's a separate compatibility question from the AirSense 11 covered here.
So rather than a list of masks that "work" or "don't work" with the AirSense 11, the real question is which type of mask — full-face, nasal, or nasal pillows — fits how you sleep and breathe. Below are the ResMed masks we currently stock that pair well with the AirSense 11, organised by type.
Full-face masks
Full-face masks cover the nose and mouth, spreading pressure over a wider surface. They tend to suit mouth breathers, back sleepers, and anyone on higher prescribed pressures.
AirFit F30i
Top-of-head tube routing, compact cushion.
AirFit F30
Under-nose cushion with a smaller frame than traditional full-face designs.
AirFit F20
ResMed's long-running full-face model, available in multiple sizes.
AirTouch F20
Memory-foam cushion alternative to the standard F20 silicone seal.
Nasal masks
Nasal masks cover the nose only, with a frame and headgear. They're a common middle-ground choice for nose breathers who want a smaller mask than full-face.
AirFit N30i
Top-of-head tubing and an under-nose cushion, available in intermediate sizes.
AirFit N30
Standard tube routing with the same under-nose cushion style as the N30i.
AirFit N20
A frame-and-cushion nasal design with a wide size range.
AirTouch N20
Memory-foam cushion alternative to the standard N20 silicone seal.
Nasal pillow masks
Nasal pillows seal directly at the nostrils with minimal facial contact — a popular choice for people who feel claustrophobic in larger masks, or who move around a lot during sleep.
AirFit P10
ResMed's lightest, most minimal mask design.
AirFit P30i
Top-of-head tube routing for a clearer field of view while reading or watching TV.
AirSense 11 mask bundles
The standard AirSense 11 doesn't ship with a mask — you get the machine, a carry bag, tubing, a filter and a power supply. If you'd rather not choose a mask separately, we carry a few pre-set bundles:
Frequently asked questions
Will my existing ResMed mask work with the AirSense 11?
In almost all cases, yes. The AirSense 11 uses the same standard 22mm connector as the AirSense 10 and most other full-size CPAP machines, so ResMed masks from current and older mask lines generally attach and work without issue.
Can I use a non-ResMed mask with the AirSense 11?
Yes — masks from other manufacturers with a standard 22mm connector will also fit. The connector, not the machine's brand, determines compatibility.
Is the AirMini the same as the AirSense 11 for mask compatibility?
No. The AirMini uses its own proprietary tube and connector system with built-in waterless humidification, so it only works with a specific set of AirMini-designed mask connectors — unlike the AirSense 11's universal 22mm fitting.
Does the AirSense 11 come with a mask?
The standard AirSense 11 doesn't include a mask — just the device, carry bag, tubing, filter and power supply. We also offer pre-set bundles that include a mask of your choice.
How do I choose between a full-face, nasal, or nasal pillows mask?
It comes down to how you breathe and sleep — full-face suits mouth breathers and higher pressures, nasal suits nose breathers wanting a smaller mask, and nasal pillows suit those who want the lightest possible contact. If you've had a titration study, your sleep specialist will usually have already recommended a type for you.
Please note: this guide is for general information and isn't medical advice. Mask type and fit should ultimately reflect your prescribed therapy and your sleep specialist's recommendation, particularly if you're changing masks or troubleshooting leaks.
