ResMed has completed a total redesign of the Mirage Swift series of pillow masks. Changes can be seen on the headgear, pillow cushion, and overall performance.
Ultra-Quiet Almost twice as quiet than the original Swift and 71% quieter than the Swift II. The air vent is located on the frame instead of the cushion and disperses air gently downward more in line with natural breathing.
Small, Lightweight, and Travel Friendly At 2.3 ounces, this mask will not weigh you down. It has one of the smallest footprints that covers less of the face. The pillows rest gently just under the nose. The mask's frame is half the size of both previous Mirage Swift designs. It folds up for easy travel and comes with its own carrying case. The minimal design creates comfort and helps users with better therapy effectiveness and allows for reading or watching TV at bedtime, even with glasses on.
Improved Pillows Pillows now come with a dual-wall design that provides improved stability and comfort. Along with an added flexible pillow base, the cushion allows for movement without breaking the seal. All pillow sizes are interchangeable with the mask frame.
Headgear Unlike any headgear before, the Swift LT uses a patented rotating barrel to adjust the pillow angle. The stability arms expand to accommodate most facial widths including narrow or wide faces.
Easy Fitting The Swift LT comes with Small, Medium, and Large size pillows included and fitting is quick and easy. After initial fitting and adjustment of the Velcro straps, there is no need for daily readjustment.
Ease of Cleaning Assembly and disassembly are simple and easy, with very few parts, making for effortless cleaning or replacement of parts.
You can use our online sizing tool to find out which masks will work best with your facial structure.
If you still aren’t convinced that this is the mask for you, all you need to do is buy our Return Insurance and you can send it back within 30 days for a refund of the full purchase price. Read all about it here:
Swift LT
The Swift LT was challenged by the Breeze Sleepgear in Product Challenge 7.
The Swift LT beat the Breeze Sleepgear with a score of 36 to 14.
Product Challenges are head to head competitions between two similar products. Only real CPAP users determine the superior product after testing both in their home for a 2-3 week period.
What Participants liked about the Swift LT: "It is comfortable, portable, and quiet. The pillows are soft and flexible, and seem to almost ‘melt’ onto your nare." – Randall P.
Participants found the mask lightweight
Easy to clean due to snap in pillows and clearly marked parts for reassembly
Dual sided pillows offer a great seal
Secure enough for many active sleepers
What Participants want improved about this mask: "Much lighter and therefore more comfortable. After a few months of use, the straps lose their elasticity and need to be adjusted more frequently throughout the night." – Manfred S.
To find a good seal takes a lot of initial experimenting, but once achieved the seal stays intact.
Several mention a need for the mask to achieve a seal without agitating pressure points on the nasal septum and upper lip

Additional Product Challenge Results Swift LT
The Swift LT was challenged by the Opus 360 in Product Challenge 10.

Product Challenges are head to head competitions between two similar products. Only real CPAP users determine the superior product after testing both in their home for a 2-3 week period.
What Participants liked about the Swift LT mask: “I've tried 5 different masks (all nasal pillow style), and the Swift LT is the only one I like and the only one I will buy again.” – Ronald C
23 of those who selected the Swift LT mask did so because of the superior fit. The most common problem experienced by all participants was fit.
No participants experienced waking up with red marks on their face from the Swift LT
Many preferred the independently adjustable pillows
Most found the mask easy to clean do to snap in pillows and clearly marked parts for reassembly
What Participants want improved about this mask: “This mask [the Swift LT] is great if you adjust it to fit and then don't move. But if you are a 'active' sleeper you will be disappointed as you will often wake up and have to readjust to get your proper seal back.” – David G.
6 out of the 7 participants who mentioned their bed partners in their review requested a modified exhaust port. The air vented straight out, preventing participants from facing their partners in bed.
11 participants want a softer top attachment clip, similar to but more stable than the Velcro of the Opus 360
Several mention a need for the mask to achieve a seal without agitating pressure points on the nasal septum and upper lip

"I had the highest hope for this nose pillow, but it sorely disappointed (pun intended). It felt like it had a nice snug fit and sealed off my nostrils well, but I woke up at 3am in pain. After a fitful nights sleep I looked in the mirror the next morning and the tip of my nose had two blisters from the pillow.
That night I checked my sizing and positioning and it was all correct. I went to sleep and woke up drowning in condensation in the pillow. Returned."

"much better than others I have tried - nasal pillows fit better but still would be better in a petite size. I'm big - but my nose cavaties aren't.
And thank you for including me in the free giveaway - especially since this is the best CPAC I have tried."
So glad I had the opportunity to try this!

"Like most CPAP users, I've tried a variety of masks in search of "the ultimate." The Swift LT is the first nasal pillow model I've tried and happily, I think I've found the answer.
For some reason, I thought the mask looked big and bulky in the pictures. Absolutely not! It's very small and lightweight, one of the least intrusive masks I've used (the Nasal Aire II would be the other). I also wondered whether routing the hose over my head would seem strange or awkward, but it turns out I'm less aware of being tethered to the CPAP machine like this than with any other configuration I've tried with any other mask.
The first morning, I woke up with a very sore nose, like something had been pushing on my nose all night. I reviewed the instructions for fitting and made some adjustments to the headgear. I got both a better seal and a comfy nose the next morning. My numbers are great and my sleep is sound. I also tried the Lansinoh cream recommended by a number of members of the CPAP forum, cpaptalk.com, and this did help achieve a better seal.
In the past, an RT advised me that nasal pillow masks are unsuitable for pressures about 10 cmH2O, and this made me leery of trying one (although I'd point out that it's pretty risk-free with cpap.com's return insurance). This, too, has turned out to be incorrect. My pressure is 13 and my leak rate so far has averaged 0.01.
Again, I'm glad I had the opportunity to try this mask, and if you're looking for a lightweight, comfortable configuration, you might want to try it, too!"
I tried...

"There is a subset of users who noted irritation at the end of the nose with this. I am among them. It rubs and causes an abrasion, no doubt due to my unique anatomy. I keep this on hand as an emergency backup, but would only recommend purchase with the insurance policy for return...I use the Swift II and really like it."
Condensation
January 28, 2010
(1 out of 5) by Keith F, CA
"First let me say that I have used the Mirage Swift II for over a year and loved it. So when I saw the Swift LT's design, I thought that it looked like an improvement over the Swift II. The feel and comfort of the Swift LT is better. And for about 2 hours, I loved it, then I would got a nose full of water. I tried it for 4 days, Having to dump the condensation every few hours. After my first nose full on the 4th day, I went back to the Swift II, and have been back with that for the last week with no condensation. I don't know why, Maybe more exposure near the nose, but I tried everything I could think of to stop the condensation, but to no avail. (I do use a hose blanket, which I do recommend). If anyone has any suggestions, I would be happy to try it. Other wise, it has been retired to the closet, after a very short career."
