AirTouch F20 lasts 28 days
My full face F20, after 26 days, starts splitting on the foam at the end of the V - at the upper end above my nose bridge. When the split totally crosses the foam-at day 28- I get a mask leak. This has happened on the 2 occasions I've used the mask. Medicare allows a replacement each month but the mask doesn't last that long. Any advice/comments?

mask without memory foam. I used my f10 for over a year and it would last way longer if i didnt step on it and break it.

The F20 airfit is the same mask but with a silicone only cushion with no memory foam. It has gotten very good reviews in the forum. I have been using the same cushion for 15 months with no problems.

This is surprising.
When Resmed released the Airtouch, they recommended 30 day changes, but later relaxed that to 60. What is your cleaning routine?

RE: AirTouch F20 lasts 28 days
FWIW my AirTouch (memory foam) cushion will last quite a few more months because I actually don't/can't use it. I tried it, but could not get it to a low leak level like the AirFit (silicone). Hence, the AirFit F20 is crowned my go-to mask.
I expect I'll get years out of the AirTouch BTW...

RE: AirTouch F20 lasts 28 days
I've just ordered the AirFit F20, and received the AirTouch F20. So I guess I'll hope you've figured this out by the time I get to day 28.
Could a mask liner help? It could potentially provide a buffer to the seal, sort of like a gasket? I'm curious to know if you cleaned it daily as ResMed said is necessary. (Seems high maintenance to me.) I chatted with my DME about these masks recently. The guy said the AirFit (silicone) has such a high percentage of success in fitting people, being easy to get to seal, and lasting. He said the memory foam (AirTouch) is really only preferred if people have a sensitivity to silicone.

The frame and headgear is the same on the F20 range so you could buy just a silicone pillow to complement your f20 I use silicone as the life is much better, I see no need of the memory foam for me and therefore I get months out if the pillow

RE: AirTouch F20 lasts 28 days
I get 2-3 months out of my air touch masks, no special cleaning, just use them. I prefer to air fit as i don't have to strap them down as tight-I guess I am just lucky
