Abstract
A respiratory interface assembly includes a patient interface and a headgear arrangement. A seal or cushion of the interface assembly can include thickened portions positioned and arranged to improve sealing and/or user comfort. The headgear arrangement can be connectable to the nasal mask by a connection arrangement configured to provide stability to the nasal mask such that a forehead support is not required. The connection arrangement can inhibit or prevent improper connections. The headgear arrangement can have one or more resilient straps having a composite construction of an outer fabric and a plastic core. The outer fabric can be knitted. A rear portion of the headgear arrangement can include a knitted panel or a spacer fabric panel.
