Overview
The Fisher & Paykel Brevida is a nasal pillows mask whose seal inflates as your machine runs, settling softly in and around your nostrils. You get the small footprint of a pillows mask, with nothing over the bridge of your nose and a seal designed to feel gentle.
Night to night, it stays out of your way. Side supports help hold the seal in place as you move, the headgear rests above your ears, and a diffuser softens each breath out, so the person next to you hears less of your therapy.
Key features:
- Two seals, one headgear: Seals come in Extra Small to Small and Medium to Large, and a single headgear size fits them both.
- Try both sizes: The Fit Pack includes both seals, so you can wear each one at home before you settle on your size.
- Quieter for most: In F&P's two-week home study, 82% of experienced pillows users found the Brevida quieter than their usual mask.
- Free of magnets: Like every F&P mask, the Brevida has no magnets, so it sits outside the magnet warnings some masks carry.
- Made without latex: No natural rubber latex is used in the mask or any of its accessories, a plus for anyone with a latex allergy.
- Licensed in Canada: Health Canada has licensed the Brevida as a medical device since 2016, under the number listed in Specifications.
The Brevida suits nose breathers who find larger masks confining, restless sleepers who shift position often, and anyone whose partner notices mask noise. If you'd prefer a nasal cushion that rests over the bridge of your nose instead, compare F&P's Nova Nasal.
Note: F&P rates the Brevida for pressures up to 25 cm H2O. If your prescription runs higher than that, give us a call before ordering and we'll suggest a mask rated for it.
How it works
Fitting the mask
Hold the seal away from your face and spread its soft side wings with your fingertips, not your nails. Guide the two silicone openings into your nostrils, then hold the frame with one hand while you draw the headgear over your head with the other, keeping the straps above your ears.
Loosen the side straps until the mask feels comfortable, then tighten them slightly and fasten. Connect the mask tube to your CPAP hose and start your machine. If air leaks, lift the seal off and place it again rather than pulling the straps tighter.
Daily and weekly cleaning
After each use, unhook the headgear clips, remove the seal from the frame and wash everything except the headgear and diffuser by hand in lukewarm, soapy water. Soak for ten minutes at most, rinse and dry out of direct sunlight. Push the seal back on until you hear it click.
Every seven days, wash the headgear and the diffuser the same way, handling the diffuser gently rather than scrubbing it, and let it dry completely before use. Avoid alcohol, bleach, antiseptics, moisturizers and the dishwasher, which F&P says can shorten the mask's life.

Choosing a seal size
F&P makes the seal in Extra Small to Small and Medium to Large, and publishes no measurement chart, so trying one on is the surest test.
- The Fit Pack arrives with the smaller seal fitted and the larger one in the box
- F&P suggests switching sizes if discomfort or leaks carry on
- Spare seals in either size are sold on their own
Fit and leak checks
Spread the soft side wings with your fingers and guide one opening into each nostril. Then, with your machine running, check that:
- The seal has filled with air
- Neither opening has folded inward, and if one has, flick it back out
- The seal feels secure but not tight
- Nothing presses on the skin under your nose, which can block the openings
F&P home study results
F&P asked 38 people who already used pillows masks to try the Brevida at home for about two weeks. Compared with their usual mask:
- A clear majority found it quieter, with less draft
- Most found it more comfortable on the nose
- More than half rated the headgear steadier
- F&P ran the study itself and it was not blinded
Machines, seals and spares
The Brevida runs on home CPAP, APAP and bilevel machines and connects through its mask tube and swivel.
- Not for the ResMed AirMini, which takes ResMed's AirMini packs only
- Rated for pressures up to 25 cm H2O
- Seals, headgear, clips, diffuser and elbow are each sold separately
AirPillow seal
The soft silicone seal fills with air and settles in and around your nostrils, so it seals gently instead of pressing in. Side supports help keep it in place while you sleep.
Quiet diffuser
A washable diffuser clips onto the elbow and softens the air you breathe out. There's less noise and draft for you, and for the person who shares your bed.
One-size headgear
Soft, breathable straps rest above your ears and adjust at the sides. The same headgear fits both seal sizes, so changing seals never means changing straps.
VisiBlue highlights
Blue markings on the key parts show you which way each one goes. Putting the mask back together after washing is quicker, and you're less likely to fit a part the wrong way.
Common questions
How often should I replace the Brevida seal?
F&P's schedule is a fresh seal every two weeks, while a frame is good for a season and headgear for half a year. Replace the seal sooner if it leaks constantly, discolours or tears, and the whole mask within a year of first use.
Will nasal pillows feel uncomfortable in my nostrils?
The Brevida is designed to avoid that. Its seal inflates and rests in and around the nostrils rather than pushing straight in, and the sealing edge is extra-thin silicone. If it presses on the skin under your nose, lift it off and reseat it rather than tightening the straps.
Can I use the Brevida if I breathe through my mouth?
Not well. F&P designed the Brevida for nose breathers, and an open mouth at night lets therapy air leak out before it reaches your airway. A dry mouth on waking usually gives it away, and then F&P's Simplus, a full face design, is the better fit.
Can I use the Brevida without the diffuser?
Yes. F&P says the mask works with or without it, because the diffuser makes little difference to the air flowing out. It does make the mask quieter, by about five decibels on F&P's figures, and it must be completely dry before you use it.
Should I choose the Brevida or the Nova Nasal?
Pick the Brevida if you'd like the smallest mask on your face, with a seal at the nostrils and nothing over the bridge of your nose. The Nova Nasal is a nasal mask whose cushion rests over the nose instead. Both are F&P masks with a washable diffuser.
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.
