CPAP cushions & filters: which mask family, size, and OEM vs compatible
Mask cushions, nasal pillows, and disposable machine filters are recurring buys — often monthly for cushions when oils break down the seal, and on a maker schedule for intake filters. Shoppers grab a bulk “compatible” pack, then find a P10 pillow will not seat on an F20 frame, an N20 cushion will not fit an N30 cradle, or a soft aftermarket intake filter collapses and restricts airflow. This page helps you lock the right parts and buy Amazon-available cushions and filters that actually fit.

Who needs this
- People who already know their mask and reorder cushions every 1–3 months (or sooner when leak rises)
- Shoppers comparing OEM vs “compatible” pillows / cushions after a loose seal, extra leak, or soft collapsing filters
- Anyone who upgraded mask families (e.g. F20 to F30i / P10) and still has leftover cushions from the old line
- Households with two different mask systems that need separate multipacks, not one “universal” case
How to choose (model and size first)
- Identify the exact mask family, not just the brand logo. ResMed AirFit P10, F20, N20, N30, F30i, and AirTouch foam lines do not share cushions. Philips DreamWear / DreamStation lines are a separate catalog.
- Read the size marking on the current cushion. Look for S / M / L (and Medium-Wide on some lines) molded into the silicone or printed on the packaging. Do not assume your shirt size or “Medium in everything.”
- Do not cross families. A P10 nasal pillow will not lock onto an F20 full-face frame. An N20 cushion will not fit an N30 cradle. Wrong family means no seal or a forced fit that leaks.
- Treat machine filters separately from mask cushions. AirSense 10 / 11 and similar units use disposable (and sometimes reusable) intake filters with their own part numbers. Soft aftermarket discs that pull inward can restrict airflow — compare thickness and stiffness to the OEM piece.
- Decide OEM vs alternate after the model is clear. Maker OEM is the safest seal baseline. Reputable compatible packs can work for some pillows/cushions — buy one size-matched pack first, not a year supply.
- Prefer a fit pack only when sizing is uncertain. Once you know your size, reorder that single cushion. Opened cushions are often non-returnable.
- Plan the change interval. Makers and suppliers commonly suggest cushions every ~1–3 months (sooner with facial oils, high leak, or discoloration), headgear less often, and machine filters on the device schedule or when visibly dirty / collapsed.
Comparison criteria (what matters when shopping)
| Criterion | What to verify |
|---|---|
| Mask family | Exact model (e.g. AirFit P10 vs F20 vs N20). Listing photos alone are not enough. |
| Size code | S / M / L / MW printed on the old cushion. Medium is not universal across models. |
| Part numbers | Examples often cited for ResMed P10 pillows (62930–62933) and F20 cushions (63467–63469). Match your packaging when possible. |
| Physical lock / seal | Cushion seats fully on the frame; no force-fit onto the wrong mask; leak does not jump after a swap. |
| Filter stiffness | Machine intake filters should hold shape under draw. Soft aftermarket discs that suck inward are a red flag. |
| OEM vs alternate | Alternates must name the exact mask model and size. Avoid “universal ResMed cushion” claims. |
| Return policy on fit | Prefer sellers with a clear return path if the cushion leaks or will not seat — many opened seals cannot be returned. |
Common part families (examples only)
These show up often in U.S. shopping. Yours may differ — use your mask model and the old cushion marking, not this list alone.
| Part family (examples) | Notes |
|---|---|
| ResMed AirFit P10 / P10 for Her pillows | Nasal pillow cushions for the P10 frame. Size-specific; common associated part range includes 62930–62933. Not for full-face or N20 frames. |
| ResMed AirFit F20 / F20 for Her cushions | Full-face silicone seals. Small/Medium commonly shared with For Her; Large typically F20. Associated parts often 63467 (S), 63468 (M), 63469 (L). |
| ResMed AirFit N20 / N30 / F30i / AirTouch lines | Separate cushion catalogs. Do not mix N20 with N30 cradles or silicone F20 with AirTouch foam cushions unless the listing says so. |
| Philips DreamWear / related nasal cushions | Separate brand catalog. Size labels can vary by manufacturing lot — confirm model and size on the cushion itself. |
| AirSense / AirCurve disposable machine filters | Device intake filters, not mask cushions. AirSense 10 / S9-style standard packs often use 36850–36853 (hypoallergenic 36855–36858). AirSense 11 uses a different series (commonly 39301/39302 standard, 39305/39306 hypoallergenic) — not interchangeable with AirSense 10. Replace on schedule or when dirty / soft / collapsed. |
| “Compatible” / store-brand multipacks | Often model-specific clones (e.g. P10 pillow 6-packs). Confirm model + size before ordering a bulk case. |
