Fisher & Paykel Solo CPAP Masks: Expert Guide & Compatibility

Finding a CPAP mask that fits comfortably and works well can make all the difference in your sleep therapy. The Fisher & Paykel Solo range offers two mask options — the Solo Nasal and Solo Pillows — built on the same lightweight frame and one-size headgear, with cushions that are fully interchangeable.

This design lets you easily switch cushion styles without replacing the entire mask, giving you flexibility to adapt your setup as your comfort needs change.

Key Features

• AutoFit™ Headgear: Soft and flexible for a secure, personalized fit.
• One-Touch Adjustment: Quickly fine-tune fit without hassle.
• AutoLock™ Tension: Keeps the mask firmly in place overnight.
• Universal 22mm Connection: Compatible with nearly all CPAP, APAP, and BiPAP machines (except ResMed AirMini without adapter).

Sizing and Cushion Options

• Nasal Cushions: Small, Medium, Large, and Wide.
• Nasal Pillows: Small, Medium, and Large.

The one-size headgear fits all cushion sizes and styles, so switching between cushions is easy and cost-effective.

Cushion Styles Explained

Solo Nasal Mask

Sits under the nose, sealing around the nostrils for a gentle, stable airflow. Ideal if you prefer more coverage and even pressure distribution.

Solo Pillows Mask

Fits directly inside the nostrils for a lightweight, minimal-contact experience. Great for side sleepers or anyone wanting a less intrusive fit.

Quiet and Comfortable

The masks operate quietly, with a sound power level of 31.5 dBA and pressure level of 23.6 dBA, helping maintain a peaceful sleep environment.

Materials and Safety

Made from pyrogen-free materials without natural rubber latex or DEHP, ensuring safety and durability. Key components include:

• Cushion: Polycarbonate and silicone
• Frame: Nylon
• Headgear: A blend of PEBA, nylon, silicone, and carbon-reinforced nylon
• Tube: Polycarbonate and polyurethane
• Swivel: Nylon

Compatibility

These masks connect via the universal 22mm tubing standard and fit virtually all CPAP devices except the ResMed AirMini, which needs a special adapter.

Which Mask Is Right for You?

• Choose Solo Nasal for a stable seal and gentle airflow under the nose.
• Choose Solo Pillows for minimal contact and direct nostril airflow.
• Not sure? Try both cushions interchangeably with the same mask frame to find your best fit.
