ResMed has been a household name among CPAP machine and accessory suppliers for many years. ResMed reports changing more than 144 million lives in the last 12 months. [1]
If you are a current or prospective ResMed customer, you may be interested in learning more about their decision to discontinue several of their Cpap masks.
ResMed Discontinues Swift and Mirage Masks
Whether you are a patient or a healthcare practitioner, ResMed is likely to be an important part of your treatment system. ResMed's announcement regarding discontinuing two lines of their legacy masks is particularly significant.
Instead of viewing it as a hassle, consider it an opportunity to upgrade, as ResMed intended.
ResMed notified authorized dealers like Sleeplay that the Swift and Mirage masks listed below would ship only through March 2023:
- Swift FX Nano Nasal Mask.
- Swift FX Nano For Her Nasal Mask.
- Swift II Nasal Pillows Mask.
- Mirage Micro Nasal Mask.
- Ultra Mirage Full Face Mask.
- Ultra Mirage II Nasal Mask.
- Mirage Liberty Full Face Mask.
- Swift LT Nasal Pillow Mask.
- Swift LT For Her Nasal Pillow Mask.
The full list of retired models is on ResMed's official discontinued masks page. [2]
After that, any of the stated masks you can get your hands on will be the final ones made.
ResMed points patients to its website and the myAir app for transition support when a mask is retired. [3] They also have materials available on their website and myAir - the ResMed app - to help patients transition smoothly from outdated masks to newer ones.
2025-2026 update: more models have joined the list
The prediction below aged well. ResMed's official discontinued list now also includes the AirFit F30, AirFit F10, Mirage Quattro FX, Mirage Activa LT, AirFit N10, Mirage SoftGel, Mirage Swift, Mirage Activa, Mirage Vista, Mirage Kidsta, and the Bubble Mask. [2] If you rely on any of these, the replacement table below shows your closest current match, and what Sleeplay still has in stock.
Why Discontinue Swift and Mirage Masks?
While ResMed's Swift and Mirage masks were already fantastic for CPAP treatment, particularly the nasal cushion masks, the company's latest portfolio is a true game changer.
Swift and the Ultra Mirage lines are both forerunners to the improved AirFit masks.
The Swift is primarily a nasal mask, with a snug fit on the philtrum and little contact with the rest of the face. While the masks appear to be flawless, the loudness seemed to disturb some folks.
Indeed the nasal masks are larger on the Ultra Mirage making one major issue with them is that a portion of the mask hides your eyes. So, you can't watch or read anything while wearing the Ultra Mirage mask.
ResMed will continue to release AirFit replacements for every Mirage and Swift mask that is discontinued. More Swift and Mirage products are likely to be withdrawn in the future, so you may want to move to the AirFit series entirely.
ResMed's current designs take into account all of the Swift and Mirage customer issues. The new AirFit masks appear to be smaller. The ventilation system is greatly improved, resulting in a significant reduction in noise; the AirFit P10, for example, runs at 21.4 dBA, one of ResMed's quietest masks. [6]
While the new AirFit masks are hardly noticeable on your face, the technology is advanced enough that the mask will not slip off your face at night.
Discontinued ResMed Masks: Replacement Guide
Every row is verified against ResMed's current lineup [12] and Sleeplay's live inventory. If your mask is below, you have two moves: grab remaining stock while it lasts, or step up to the modern equivalent.
| Your discontinued mask | Still at Sleeplay? | Modern replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Mirage FX | Yes, complete mask and cushions | AirFit N20 [5] |
| Swift FX | Yes, complete mask and pillows | AirFit P10 [6] |
| Swift FX Bella / For Her | Yes, Bella grey and fit pack | AirFit P10 For Her |
| Swift FX Nano | Headgear only | AirFit N30i or AirFit N20 |
| Mirage Activa LT | Frame and cushion parts | AirFit N20 |
| Ultra Mirage Full Face / II | Cushion only | AirFit F20 [7] or AirFit F40 |
| Mirage Swift II | No, sold out | AirFit P10 |
| Mirage Quattro | Yes, still current at ResMed too [12] | AirTouch F20 [8] for sensitive skin |
"Number six, the ResMed Mirage FX. Yes, it's older, but don't confuse classic with outdated. It has a flexible, durable frame and an ultra soft forehead support for added stability, especially at higher pressures."
Sleeplay team, in our Best Nasal Masks video
"The Swift FX has been around for a long time and it still earns a spot for a reason. Instead of traditional headgear, it uses soft straps that sit over the ears. That means less bulk on the head and a very open feel."
Lily Perez, Respiratory Therapist at Sleeplay, in Best Nasal Pillow Masks of 2026
For a deeper look at how the current families compare, see our guides to every AirFit model compared, AirTouch vs AirFit, and CPAP mask types; or browse the nasal, nasal pillow, and full face collections. Worn cushions leak long before they look broken, so check when to replace CPAP supplies too. [11]
What are the alternatives?
The most direct upgrade path for most Swift and Mirage users is the AirFit N20 mask.
While different AirFit masks are available to address particular issues with your sleep apnea therapy, the AirFit N20 is what ResMed calls its most popular nasal mask. [4]
It has a simple but effective design. In fact, ResMed claims that this mask fits 99 percent of people worldwide according to ResMed's international fitting study [4], regardless of facial shape or size.
It comes with headgear that covers the top and rear of your head but leaves most of your hair undisturbed. The frame runs down both sides of your face and meets over your nasal bridge.
The cushion fits into the frame at the nose and only covers up to your philtrum. Fit your tubing to the cushion and disassemble it as needed.
The design leaves the space around your eyes and lips open. So, even with the mask on, you can wear glasses and converse with others.
Those whose mouth falls open while receiving CPAP therapy, on the other hand, may not make much progress with the ResMed AirFit N20.
AirFit F30i, AirTouch F20, AirFit F20, or AirFit F40may be a better fit for them. (The AirFit F30, an earlier suggestion here, has since joined ResMed's own discontinued list. [2])
If you have a beard, AirFit P10, AirTouch F20, and AirTouch N20 would suit you best. Those with sensitive skin or allergies seem to like AirTouch F20, AirFit F20, AirTouch N20, etc.
Final Thoughts
There's no need to be concerned if you missed ResMed's announcement about mask discontinuance. Check ResMed's official discontinued list [2] when you reorder, and lean on the myAir app or the Sleeplay team to plan the switch before your mask goes out of stock. [3]
Frequently Asked Questions
What CPAP masks is ResMed discontinuing?
ResMed keeps an official discontinued list that includes the Swift FX Nano, Mirage Swift II, Mirage Micro, Ultra Mirage, Mirage Liberty, and Swift LT families, plus newer retirements like the AirFit F30, AirFit F10, Mirage Quattro FX, and Mirage Activa LT.
Is the Mirage Quattro being discontinued?
No. The Mirage Quattro still appears in ResMed's current mask lineup, and Sleeplay stocks the complete mask and its cushions. The similarly named Quattro FX is the model that was retired.
Why did ResMed discontinue the Swift and Mirage masks?
ResMed consolidated its lineup around the newer AirFit and AirTouch families, which use lighter frames, quieter venting, and interchangeable cushions. Retiring legacy lines lets the company focus manufacturing on its current platforms.
Was the AirFit F30 discontinued too?
Yes. The AirFit F30 now appears on ResMed's official discontinued list. Its closest current equivalents are the AirFit F30i, with the same compact under-the-nose cushion and a top-of-head tube, and the newer AirFit F40.
Can I still buy Swift FX or Mirage FX masks?
Yes, while stock lasts. Sleeplay still carries the Swift FX complete mask, Swift FX Bella For Her, replacement pillows, and the Mirage FX complete mask and cushions. Once remaining inventory sells out, the modern replacements are the AirFit P10 and AirFit N20.
What replaced the ResMed Swift FX?
The AirFit P10 is the natural successor: a minimal nasal pillow mask with QuietAir venting at 21.4 dBA, one of ResMed's quietest. Swift FX Nano users usually land on the AirFit N20 or N30i instead.
What replaced the ResMed Mirage FX?
The AirFit N20, which ResMed calls its most popular nasal mask and says fits 99 percent of faces in its international fitting study. AirTouch N20 offers the same frame with a memory foam cushion for sensitive skin.
How often should I replace my ResMed mask?
ResMed's replacement schedule calls for a new cushion every month, the mask frame every three months, and the complete system with headgear every six months. Worn cushions leak long before they look damaged.
Should I throw away my old discontinued CPAP mask?
Not while it seals well and you can still get replacement cushions. Once parts run out or leaks creep in, switch to the modern equivalent; discontinued masks stop receiving replacement part production.

I have used Swift LT for decades and have tried the new models that came along without thinking much about the Lt but have always came back to it when the newer models over long periods of time irritated my nose as they all required more force to keep them in place. I realized that the rigid cage that the Swift LT has was amazing. I don’t see much else that even looks like it.
If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!!!
I agree, the Swift 2 has been my mask of choice for several years. The new masks I’ve tried have all been subpar in comparison. I haven’t had much trouble finding replacement mask parts for the Swift 2, but headgear has been IMPOSSIBLE to find. I’d be very interested to know some of the online suppliers you’ve had luck with, regarding headgear.
I have used the Resmed Mirage Swift 2 for about 20 years. I have tried many other masks from both my medical equipment supplier and online suppliers. The Mirage Swift 2 still fits the best, seals well, is very comfortable and very quiet. No other mask I’ve tried comes close. My quality of sleep is far superior when using the Mirage Swift 2. I really wish Resmed had not discontinued making this mask. I have been fortunate to find various parts and even an occasional complete mask from online suppliers to allow me to keep using the mask
After 10-12 years with the Swift LT, I’m annoyed that I am forced into this supposed “upgrade” to the P10. My major issue is the hose management. The LT had a clip at the top of my head where the band went over that secured the hose so that if I flipped from side to side I didn’t end up getting choked by the hose. The hose was always over my head. I have tried two “hose management” arms now and neither fixed the issue with the P10. Not sure what to do at this point, but I’m sure this has more to do with financial efficiencies on ResMed’s part than any real “upgrade.”
