ResMed AirFit/AirTouch F20 Headgear - Comfortable CPAP Replacement

In this review the ResMed AirFit/AirTouch F20 Headgear is evaluated as a replacement headgear for users of the AirFit F20 and AirTouch F20 full face masks. The bottom line: this headgear is best for CPAP users who need a soft, flexible strap set that restores fit and comfort without replacing the frame or cushion, and who already have a prescription mask system; it provides noticeably improved comfort and elastic support compared with worn original straps, making nightly use easier.

Key Features

• Compatibility: Designed specifically for the AirFit F20 and AirTouch F20 full face masks, so it fits the intended frame attachment points without modification.
• Comfort material: Made from soft, flexible material to reduce pressure points and increase comfort during long sleep periods.
• Supportive fit: Elastic sections provide secure support that helps keep the mask seal stable through the night for easier breathing.
• Replacement part: Sold as the headgear only, which lets owners refresh worn straps without buying a full frame or cushion.
• Prescription mask system: Intended for use with a prescription CPAP mask system, maintaining the clinical pairing of headgear and mask.

Who It's For

This headgear is aimed at CPAP users who already own an AirFit F20 or AirTouch F20 frame and cushion and need a replacement strap set to restore a comfortable, secure fit. It is a good choice for people who value softer materials and elastic support that reduce facial pressure and help keep the mask sealed overnight.

It is not suitable for users who need a complete mask: the frame system and full face cushion are not included. Also, shoppers seeking the strongest long-term Velcro performance should consider this as a budget-friendly replacement and monitor the fasteners over time.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Soft, flexible construction enhances overnight comfort compared with aged headgear.
• Compatible design fits AirFit F20 and AirTouch F20 frames without alteration.
• Cost effective way to refresh a CPAP setup without replacing the whole mask system.

Cons

• Velcro strength can weaken with use, so fastening may require occasional replacement or adjustment.
• Frame system and full face cushion are not included, so additional parts are required for a complete mask.

Our Verdict

The ResMed AirFit/AirTouch F20 Headgear is a practical, value-minded replacement for users who need a softer, more comfortable strap set for their existing AirFit or AirTouch F20 mask. It restores fit and comfort at lower cost than replacing the entire mask, though buyers should be aware the Velcro may lose strength over long use and that the frame and cushion are sold separately.
