Fisher & Paykel measurement guide
Nose height: S <4.4 cm · M 4.4–5.2 cm · L >5.2 cm. Nose width: S <3.7 cm · M 3.7–4.1 cm · L >4.1 cm. (Fisher & Paykel published thresholds — measure with the template or a ruler.)
Step 2

Getting a good seal

A correct size plus light strap tension is the goal. Marks and leaks usually mean the cushion is the wrong size — not that you need to tighten more.

Fit tips for the Fisher & Paykel Solo Nasal
  • Self-fitting (AutoFit) — no template needed.
  • Stretch it over your head, press gently under your nose to seal, and the AutoLock holds it.
  • Fine-tune with a touch.
Leak troubleshooting
Air on my eyes
Loosen the upper straps half a turn and shift the mask down a few millimetres. If it returns, try the next size down.
Whistling at the cushion edge
The cushion isn't fully seated. Lift it off your face, let it inflate, then lay it back gently — don't tighten.
Red marks on my cheeks or nose
You're over-tightening to chase a leak. The seal should work at "barely snug". Re-check your cushion size.
Mask shifts during the night
The top strap should sit high on the crown of your head. If it slides, lift the strap higher and re-snug evenly.
Step 3

Cleaning & care

Quick daily wipe, gentle weekly wash. Avoid alcohol-based cleaners — they degrade silicone.

Daily: detach the cushion and wipe with a damp cloth or mild soap and warm water; rinse and air-dry out of direct sunlight. Weekly: hand-wash the headgear and frame in warm soapy water and air-dry. Avoid alcohol, bleach and harsh detergents.
Step 4

Replacement schedule

Cushion: about every 1 month. Headgear: every 6 months. Frame: every 6 months. Replace sooner if the cushion tears, hardens or won't seal. General guide only — follow your clinician/supplier advice.

FAQ

Common questions

What size Fisher & Paykel Solo Nasal do I need?
There's only one size. The AutoFit cushion adapts to your face.
How often should I replace the Fisher & Paykel Solo Nasal cushion?
About every 4 weeks. Silicone (and especially memory foam) absorbs facial oils and stops sealing properly — leaks that start "out of nowhere" are almost always a worn cushion.
How often should I replace the headgear?
Every 6 months, or sooner if the elastic loses its stretch. Worn headgear is a common hidden cause of leaks.
Can I use this with my current CPAP machine?
Most likely — modern CPAP / APAP / BiPAP machines from any brand work with any mask via the standard 22mm hose connector. Use the Mask Finder to confirm against your specific model.
Do I need a prescription?
In Australia, CPAP masks are available without a prescription — though we recommend buying through a clinician who can match the mask to your sleep study.
These are general guides — your clinician or sleep specialist can confirm what's right for you. We don't provide medical advice.
