Fisher & Paykel Nova Micro Nasal Pillow CPAP Mask Review

Fisher & Paykel Nova Micro Nasal Pillow CPAP Mask Review

Fisher & Paykel recently launched the Fisher & Paykel Nova Micro Nasal Pillows CPAP Mask, the smallest and lightest mask they have made yet! Although minimally designed, this mask offers sleep apnea patients a comfortable and high-performing experience. It weighs less than 1.4 ounces, ideal for those who want a compact mask and the freedom to move around in their sleep. Made with minimal parts, CPAP users reported it felt like they weren't wearing a mask at all, resulting in a natural and comfortable feeling while asleep.

Features of the Nova Micro

Lightweight Design

The Nova Micro mask is the smallest and lightest CPAP mask Fisher & Paykel has ever created. Because it makes minimal contact with the face, it helps sleep apnea patients counteract feelings of claustrophobia and facial irritation. Its slim profile allows users who breathe through their nose to sleep in any position they'd like. 

Soft MicroPillows

Made with soft, flexible silicone, the cushion of this mask provides extreme support and comfort. This nasal pillow cushion nestles gently under the nose and perfectly contours to any sleep apnea patient's nose. Like the overall mask, this cushion is compact in size and reduces pressure and irritation on the face. 

Easy-to-Adjust Headgear

The Nova Micro's headgear is soft and comfortable to wear around the head. It includes adjustments on each side of the face so that users can customize the fit to their liking. 

Compact Frame

The Nova Micro mask frame is small and compact, designed to provide stability and support. It is built with quick-release clips that are easy to adjust and remove, ensuring a simple and effective fit.

Customer Review of the Nova Micro

"I was given a sample of this mask in a medium (I'm usually a small) and tried it out for 5 nights. First, I tried it with an AirMini for two nights & then with an AirSense 10 for three nights. I typically use the new F&P Solo Nasal Mask, and I have never tried an over -the-top-tube connection before. I have to say, I really like it. While I didn't think the tubing at the top of the head would make much difference as I don't mind moving the tube out of my way, it really was freeing. The fabric construction on this headgear is soft, comfortable and not hot to the head. I love the fabric on the nasal cushion! It is so soft and helps resist movement across my nose. Even wearing a medium instead of a small, I was able to get a great seal and a good night's sleep. One note: there was an increase in noise from the mask based on the machine I used, with the AirMini being louder (which is typical for a travel machine anyway) and the Airsense 10 being minimal noise."  - Review by Holly

How to Fit the Nova Micro CPAP Mask
