Overview
The ResMed AirTouch N20 seals around your nose with a cushion of UltraSoft memory foam instead of silicone, so what touches your face feels soft and light. The foam moulds to your contours, and ResMed designed it to leave fewer red marks by the time you wake up.
Night to night, the foam asks little of you, and ResMed suggests a fresh cushion every month. The frame sits low enough for a book or the TV, the plush headgear holds it steady, and magnetic clips put it on or take it off in seconds.
Key features:
- Comfort tested: In a ResMed study of nasal mask users, 9 in 10 rated the AirTouch N20 cushion comfortable.
- ResMed's softest: ResMed calls it its softest nasal mask, and the only one built around its patented UltraSoft foam.
- Change your mind: An AirFit N20 silicone cushion fits the same frame, so switching doesn't mean buying a whole new mask.
- Travel ready: With ResMed's N20 setup pack, it connects to the AirMini travel machine and its waterless humidifiers.
- No latex: ResMed leaves natural rubber latex and PVC out of this mask, helpful if you have a latex allergy.
- Licensed in Canada: Health Canada licenses it as a Class II medical device, and the licence number sits under Specifications.
The AirTouch N20 suits side sleepers, people with sensitive skin, and anyone who reads or watches TV in bed. If you'd rather have a silicone cushion, the AirFit N20 shares this frame, and the For Her Small adds lavender accents and smaller headgear.
Note: This mask has magnets in its frame and lower clips. If you or a bed partner has a pacemaker, defibrillator or another implant sensitive to magnets, talk to us about a magnet-free mask.
How it works
Putting it on
Start with the magnetic clips undone. Rest the foam against your nose, draw the headgear back over your head with the logo upright and facing out, then bring the lower straps under your ears and let the clips snap to the frame.
Ease the upper straps evenly until the cushion sits just over your nose, then set the lower pair so it feels stable without pressing. Turn your machine on and give the foam a moment to settle before you judge the seal.
Looking after the frame and foam
The foam cushion stays dry. If it needs freshening, wipe the outside with an alcohol-free CPAP wipe or a dry cloth, keep it out of direct sunlight, and swap it for a new one each month.
Each morning, give the elbow and short tube up to ten minutes in warm, mildly soapy water, brush the vent holes, then rinse and air-dry. The frame and headgear get the same treatment weekly, with the clips left on. Don't iron the headgear, since the fabric is heat sensitive.
Additional information
The AirTouch N20 is ResMed's softest nasal mask ever, with an UltraSoft memory foam cushion in place of silicone. ResMed describes the foam as softer than silicone and gentle against the skin, with a light, breathable fit and minimal facial contact.
Soft, flexible frame
AirTouch N20's frame flexes naturally to a custom fit on each user's face. With only minimal skin contact, the AirTouch N20 provides a stable fit and an open field of view. Integrated padding within the frame adds softness, and the open view lets you read or watch TV in bed.
Headgear and magnetic clips
Plush N20 Headgear is engineered for extra softness and stability. The straps should be worn without overtightening, to allow the UltraSoft cushion to adapt to your personal facial contours. On the lower straps, magnetic clips lead the headgear into the mask frame so it is quick and easy to put on and take off with a simple twist. AirTouch N20 masks come with Standard headgear, and the Small and Large sizes are available on their own for a more custom fit.
Quick-release elbow
The AirTouch N20 CPAP mask features a quick release elbow with squeeze-tabs so it's easy to detach with one hand if you need to get up during the night. The elbow connects to your tubing through a short tube with a swivel, and the vent is built into the elbow.

Features and fit
Comfort and seal results
ResMed asked a group of people who already wore nasal masks to sleep in the AirTouch N20 for a week, then score how it went:
- 9 in 10 rated the cushion comfortable
- Most scored their seal as excellent, with no mask leak
- Most found it easy to fit, adjust and take off
- Most said it performed very well overall
Who ResMed suggests it for
ResMed's own checklist for the AirTouch N20 names three kinds of sleeper, and its Australian guidance adds one more group:
- Side sleepers
- People with sensitive skin that marks easily
- Anyone who likes to watch TV in bed
- People with facial hair, or who react to silicone masks
Caring for the foam
The foam cushion never goes in water. ResMed's testing found its foam cushions stay hygienic for a month without cleaning, so you replace it instead.
- Wipe the outside with alcohol-free CPAP wipes if you need to
- Throw it out if it gets soaked or heavily soiled
- The elbow and short tube are washed daily, the frame and headgear weekly
- A leak that persists after adjusting usually means a new cushion is due
What it works with
The AirTouch N20 runs on CPAP and bilevel machines. Pick Pillows, not Nasal, in the mask settings on an AirSense, AirCurve or S9.
- Other brands: SWIFT where it's offered, MIRAGE where it isn't
- AirMini: ResMed's N20 setup pack for AirMini makes the connection
- AirFit N20 silicone cushions click into the same frame
- Spare foam cushions, frame systems and headgear are sold individually
Memory foam cushion
The UltraSoft memory foam moulds to the shape of your face, so the seal feels soft and personal. ResMed calls the AirTouch N20 its softest nasal mask yet.
Fewer red marks
Waking up without a line across your nose is the goal here. The foam creates very little friction and stays light and breathable, which ResMed designed to cut down on skin irritation.
Magnetic clips
Clipping the mask on takes a moment, and so does taking it off. Magnets pull the lower straps onto the frame and release with a twist, leaving your strap settings untouched.
Quick-release elbow
Heading to the bathroom at night is simple. Squeeze the two side buttons, the hose comes away, and the mask stays where it is until you're back in bed.
Common questions
How long does the foam cushion last?
ResMed's user guide says to replace it every month, and sooner if the foam looks worn or a leak won't settle after you adjust the straps. Its wider schedule puts the frame system at three months and the headgear at six.
Can I clean the foam with a CPAP sanitizing machine?
It's best not to. ResMed warns that ozone can reduce the foam cushion's seal and that the damage isn't covered by its warranty. The cushion should never be soaked either, so a wipe with an alcohol-free CPAP wipe is all it needs between replacements.
How do I know which size to order?
Print ResMed's N20 fitting template at full scale and hold it under your nose: both sides of your nostrils should fall inside one size. ResMed's advice if you land between two sizes is to choose the larger one. The template is shared with the AirFit N20, so either works.
Is the AirTouch N20 safe with a pacemaker or implant?
Not if you or a bed partner has one that magnets can affect. The frame and lower clips hold magnets, and ResMed's rule is to keep them at least 150 mm from pacemakers, defibrillators, pumps, shunts and metal implants. Call us for a mask without magnets.
Should I pick the AirTouch N20 or the AirFit N20?
Go with the AirTouch N20 if comfort against your skin matters most, and the AirFit N20 if you'd rather wash one silicone cushion each morning than replace foam monthly. Everything apart from the cushion is shared, so either cushion fits this frame.
Do I need a prescription to buy this mask?
No. Masks don't need a prescription, so you can order this one straight away. We only ask for a prescription with CPAP machines and ventilators, before they ship.
