Headgear holds the mask at a consistent position and tension — and a stable position is what keeps a full face mask sealing, since a mask that drifts creates leaks. The F20 uses SoftEdge™ headgear with rolled-edge fabric straps, chosen for long-wear comfort: the softer edges reduce the pressure lines and skin irritation that come with wearing a mask through the night.
Handily, this headgear fits both the AirFit F20 and the AirTouch F20. The two masks share the same frame and headgear — they differ only in the cushion (the AirFit F20 uses a silicone cushion; the AirTouch F20 uses a soft UltraSoft memory-foam cushion). So whichever F20 you have, this is the headgear.
Straps lose their elasticity with washing and daily wear. The usual sign it needs replacing isn't visible damage — it's tightening the straps more and more to hold the same seal. Fresh headgear restores the original fit at normal tension.

Choosing a size
The F20 headgear comes in sizes (commonly Small, Standard, and Large). Match your current headgear size — it's often printed on the strap. Note that the headgear size is separate from your cushion size, so they may differ. There's also an AirFit F20 for Her headgear in a lighter colourway (same design, smaller-oriented sizing). If you're unsure, contact us at (718) 735-3400 and we'll help.
Care & replacement
Hand wash the headgear weekly in warm water with a mild detergent, rinse thoroughly, and air dry away from direct sunlight — detergent residue and heat both shorten strap life. Replace it roughly every 6 months, or sooner if the straps are stretched, frayed, or no longer hold their adjustment.
