Top Features to Love in the 2026 F&P Nova Nasal CPAP Mask

The F&P Nova is a next-generation nasal CPAP mask designed to strike the perfect balance between performance and comfort. Instead of covering your mouth or sitting inside your nostrils, it creates a secure, gentle seal around the nose, helping reduce pressure points, bulk, and overall facial contact for a more natural feel during sleep all without the weight on your face.

Built with simplicity in mind, the Nova Nasal is an excellent choice for both new users and experienced CPAP users looking for a lighter, more flexible mask that doesn’t compromise on stability.

The Nova Nasal is part of a versatile mask family. Alongside it is the Nova Nasal Pillow Mask, which offers an even more minimal design with soft pillows that rest just inside the nostrils. If you prefer the lightest possible feel with minimal contact, the pillow version is a great option, while the Nova Nasal mask provides a more traditional seal and added stability for those who want a bit more support throughout the night.

The Nova Nasal CPAP Mask stands out because it’s not just a redesign, it’s a rethink of how a nasal mask should feel and perform. Here’s what makes it different:

• It uses a low-sitting RollFit™ cushion that gently “rolls” with your movement, helping maintain a seal while reducing pressure on the bridge of your nose. 100% of trial users described the RollFit™ cushion as soft or very soft on the nose.
• The SwingFit™ headgear is designed for fast, intuitive fitting and stays stable even if you change positions during sleep. 91% of trial users found the SwingFit™ headgear easy or very easy to put on and adjust.
• It features a washable diffuser vent, which helps soften airflow noise and reduces the feeling of air blowing out the front.

• Optional tube placement provides you with the option of over-the-head tube placement.
• Wrapped in soft fabric, the Nova Nasal’s stability arms are wrapped in AirEdge fabric to help avoid marks on the face.
  
• The design is lighter and more open, so it doesn’t feel bulky or restrictive on the face.
• It’s built to handle active sleepers and higher pressures while still maintaining stability.

Compared to it's other nasal masks, the Fisher & Paykel Nova Nasal is designed to feel noticeably lighter, softer, and far less restrictive.  Its thoughtfully shaped cushion "rolls" with your movement and helps distribute pressure more evenly across the nose, reducing common issues like soreness, red marks, and air leaks. 100% of trial users rated the mask as quiet or very quiet during sleep.

What really sets it apart is the balance: it aims to give you a secure, leak-resistant seal without the tight, over-structured feel that many traditional nasal masks have.

The Nova is designed to feel less like “wearing a mask” and more like it’s simply part of your sleep routine, light, stable, and out of the way.

The Nova over-the-nose Nasal CPAP Mask features a simple and practical sizing system designed to make fitting straightforward. It comes in cushion sizes of small, medium, and large, with headgear typically available in standard and large options depending on the kit or region. The mask uses a universal frame that works with all cushion sizes, so there is no need to change the frame when trying different fits. Most users start by selecting the correct cushion size and then fine-tune comfort and stability using the headgear adjustments.

The Nova Nasal is also offered in Fit Pack (currently available on HelloSleep.ca), which includes multiple cushion sizes in each kit so users can try small, medium, and large to find their ideal fit, perfect for those who are new to this mask.
