The Zest is a nasal cushion CPAP mask from Fisher and Paykel. Incorporating many familiar and some new F&P technologies, this mask is small, quiet and easy to fit.
Part of the FlexiFit family of masks
Glider Strap Anti-Leak System
Glider Clip with One-step Removal
New! Easy-Clip Silicone Seal
New! Advanced Aire Diffuser
New! Stretchgear Headgear
The Zest Nasal CPAP Mask incorporates the FlexFit two-part cushion assembly. The inner foam cushion helps contour the mask to a wide range of faces and promotes optimal frame alignment. The outer Easy-Clip silicone seal allows for a leak resistant surface and is effortless to remove for cleaning or replacing. The cushion seal is also improved by a more comfortable and breathable elastic Streatchgear Headgear designed to maintain a firm seal through the FlexFit cushion technology.
Experience a greater freedom of movement and improved cushion seal with the Glider Strap. The strap minimizes leak events by distributing pressure points equally along the face when the head rotates from side to side. The Glider Clips and hidden Strap Release make removing a mask easy and prevents a user from the need to re-adjust headgear every time you take off the mask.
Finally, a new advanced air diffuser has been added to create a quieter exhalation port. Air is routed away from the user and their sleeping partner and helps minimize exhaust noise.
Do you move around a lot when you sleep? These masks are ideal for users who either sleep on their side or stomach or restless sleepers who toss and turn. There are a few specialized cushions that address this issue as well as most Nasal Pillow and Prong CPAP masks.
Indicates which masks come packaged with more than one cushion, pillow or prong. Masks can come packaged with ALL Sizes or a combination of sizes as a Fit Pack. This is ideal for users who have not tried the mask before and do not know the right size to select.
These masks offer replaceable cushions, pillows, or prongs. These unique CPAP Masks offer replaceable cushions as a low cost solution to keep your mask feeling and working like new.
These masks are designed to prevent mouth leaks. If you are opening your mouth during the night, airflow escapes and reduces therapy effectiveness. Users who are experiencing a dry mouth, sore throat, or sinus congestion may require a mask that seals around the mouth.
This property identifies masks that are ideal for small facial features. Any mask with a size petite or extra small will be marked 'Yes'. Nasal Pillow masks are ideal because they accommodate the size of the 'nare' or nasal openings, not the face.
TV Friendly CPAP masks have interfaces that avoid obstructing your vision so you can read or watch TV before going to bed. Any mask designed without a forehead piece will fall under this property.
Tired of adjusting your headgear every time you take your mask off during the night? Quick-Clips allow users to easily remove and replace the mask on your face without re-adjusting the headgear straps.
These masks have the least amount of material around the face, fewer headgear points, and offers more freedom when you sleep. Most Nasal Pillow and Nasal Prong masks are ideal for claustrophobic users.
The value will be marked 'Yes' for CPAP masks with interfaces that are unique to CPAP users with wide facial features. Masks with 'Wide' cushion sizes would fall under this category. Nasal pillow and prong masks are ideal for wide faces because the seal occurs around the nare, not the face.
These CPAP masks have interfaces that accommodate a wide variety of facial hair styles. Gel cushions and foam inserts provide support and comfort for users who may need to over-tighten headgear straps to help seal around facial hair. Silicone gel also helps create a fluid seal over the hair.

Important Tips
As of July 2009, Fisher and Paykel has added two new sizes: Zest Petite and Zest Plus. Part number 400440 Zest (One Size Fits Most) is designed to fit 80% of all CPAP Nasal Mask users. Sizes Petite and Plus address the remaining 20% of CPAP Nasal Mask users whose features are either too large or too small for the (One Size Fits Most) cushion.
As of January 2010, Fisher and Paykel has improved the FlexiFoam Cushion Insert. The inner foam cushion helps contour the mask and promotes optimal frame alignment. The new design includes a series of ridges on the foam insert. The FlexiFoam cushion uses these cut-outs to help fold over facial features for additional comfort and improves overall seal performance.
"good unit, good seal, light and comfortable. I have four different masks and this is the one I will be using from now on."
Val M, CA – July 08, 2010
"I am really happy with my new Zest Nasal CPAP mask! It is much more comfortable to wear than my previous mask. It is smaller on my face and doesn't "dig-in" to my face. I'm not waking up with face lines from the mask or straps!"
Sheila N, AZ – June 17, 2010
"Fits perfect"
Susan M, OH – June 13, 2010
"Was very pleased with the product and service of the company. Pleased with the quick response and delivery of my product. Will be happy to refer your website."
The ideal CPAP mask is the one you can't tell is on. Start with minimal masks. If you are strictly a nose breather, the nasal mask is a good choice. The nasal cushion creates a very good seal around your nose and has a small profile. Nasal masks are also offered in gel, which many find comfortable.
Most nasal masks have a forehead support which offers stability and support for the mask.
Do you have a guide to help me choose the right mask?
Yes, we created a Help Me Choose guide to help you select the right mask or machine according to your preferences. The guide asks you a series of questions regarding your preferences and your facial features. Based on your answers we provide you with a comparison chart of the masks that meet your criteria. Get started here:
We work very hard to provide many different ways for our customers to compare products. Here are the machine product guides we have created and maintain:

Masks should be washed daily in warm water with baby shampoo and left to air dry. Never use antibacterial soap as it will break down the silicone of the mask. Avoid soaps with lotion or lanolin which can coat the mask and cause it to lose its seal. A safe cleaner is the Control III Disinfectant CPAP Cleaning Solution. Remember to go to bed with a clean face, this will improve your seal and protect the lifespan of your mask.
The best time to clean your mask is in the morning so that the oils from your skin are removed. We recommend using mask wipes to make daily morning cleanings easy. The mask wipes are made from materials that will not break down your mask.
How often should I replace my mask?
Medicare allows for mask cushion replacement every three (3) months and complete mask system replacement every six (6) months. CPAP manufacturers and vendors suggest these replacement schedules as well.
In our experience, most mask cushions begin to deteriorate after about six months of use. The silicone eventually becomes too soft to hold a seal and headgear straps must be tightened more and more to get the same quality seal.
We strongly suggest replacing cushions and pillows as soon as they start to soften. Air leaks may reduce the effectiveness of CPAP therapy and headgear that is too tight may cause facial sores at pressure points. You can also replace the headgear of your mask if it is stretched out or the Velcro worn out.
To see what parts of your mask are replaceable refer to our Replacement Part Finder. Search for your mask and then see all of the replaceable parts.
