I use Dreamwear nasal mask. It's the most comfortable CPAP mask I've ever tried and I've tried soooooo many.
Hi can your partner hear you breathe using this mask, is it noisy thanks
Great review..I have the Dream wear nasal cushion and absolutely love it..It’s so light and comfortable. Have had no issues with air leakage.
So glad I found your sight. Had a Phillips recalled . in Philly was on a 6 month wait list plus. Checking more distributors thankfully found your site..Not only did you have the Resmed 10 in stock, I order and was at my door in 3 days. Was able to restart my therapy is a short amount of time.. Many thanks..
Excellent review. I appreciate the options mentioned and the visual demos. Thank you David.
I wear the nasal cushion mask. I'll put it on and lie down and read until I fall asleep. I've been known to wake up with my book on my chest and my glasses still on. It is such a comfortable mask to wear and the seal is great. I'm a back sleeper and I don't much during the night. Noise isn't a problem for me as I use a low pressure at 6. No whooshing.
I have been using the nasal pillow mask for over a year, I have done a couple of things that help making it more comfortable and easier to use.
1. I use a product called Ayr around my nose opening that lubricates the fit and helps stop leaks along with eliminating the the rubbing and causing sore spots. 2. There are two vents on the mask. One at the hose connection and one centered on the pillow support. It makes too much noise and blows air on me so I can't get to sleep. So I plugged the vent on the pillow support and that eliminates both those problems. I am using a BiPAP machine not a CPAP machine. It works great now. I also have a J shaped pillow that my wife bought for me and that works too.
I am a brand new CPAP user, I had the pillow nose mask for almost a week and it absolutely killed my nose. I have a tiny head and the nostrils even on the small size we’re just breaking me out. I couldn’t get them in my nostrils it was just horrible, so they sent me the other nose thingy like the first one you tried on. I love it it is so much better, it doesn’t break me out I’m not claustrophobic in it and I like having the air vent on the top of my head instead of out my nose.
Good job! Done all in one take. You know your stuff. :)
Excellent video! Thank you!
I was diagnosed with moderate sleep apnea recently and have a technicien who visits me.
First started with the nasal mask, medium, but felt claustrophobic with it and tried to stick with it. Then, because of that dissatisfaction, I was given the nasal pillow and hated it. Felt so uncomfortable the air being rushed into my nose, so, tried the small nasal mask and it was ok, but, again, claustrophobic.
The other day, my technicien gave me the under the nose one, which is the first one you demonstrated and it is fabulous. Day two and no apnea episodes. A bit fiddly to get it placed, so no leaks as it is horribly noisy.
I wore it for 8 and half hours, day one and last night, 7 and half hours ( due to time of going to bed).
Feels so comfortable.
Helpful, thank you for the video.
You are awesome! Thank you!
A mask not covered in this older video is the NEW DreamWisp. It has a cup-style nasal cushion, which is a big improvement for me. (The original DreamWear under-nose style tended to push my nose up, and I felt like Miss Piggy. But I just don't like the feeling of intra-nostril cushions in the other nasal version. And the full-face is more than I need.)
The DreamWisp combines Philips' older simple Wisp nasal cup style with all of the advantages of the DreamWear concept, with its top of head tubing attachment. It also has a four point head frame with magnets on the lower set, allowing more adjustments of fit.
If you like a nasal cup, I highly recommend it!
The only problem I had with this kind of full faced mask is the small strip of rubber that rests at the very bottom of your nose, just below the nostrils. Unfortunately for me, it dug into my skin and caused a sore to appear in that area, so I had to switch back to a more traditional full faced mask that sits too high up on my nose to the point where it pushes my skin up around my eyes and causes them to water all night long. I wear my mask as loose as possible, but just tight enough that no hair leeks out around the mask, so my problem isn't because my mask fits too tight, it just crosses the bridge of my nose too high up and pushes on my eyes.
I really wish I could contact the engineers of these masks and get them to make a few changes that I'm sure would be a benefit for many people that have to wear these things just so they can get a good night's rest. 🙄
I got first one works great but took a little time to get used to wearing a mask only problem hurt under nose for a while l but the body does adapt given a chance I'm a side sleeper and no problem getting air even woke up and forgot it was on a few times
I have the Dreamware pillow. Really like to hose connection atop the head and overall like the mask. My complaint is the headgear strap. I would like the strap to connect to the mask at 4 locations. I was having lots of leaks that awoke me. I adjusted the position of the strap to be inline with the loops on the mask, which position the back of the strap higher on my head. This helped, but because of the 2 point attachment the strap moves on my head resulting in leaks.
They listened, they now have a mask called Dreamwisp. The elastic part connects to the silicone frame on 4 points!.
@@jozina1 yep I get 100% every night. So maybe the wrong size if still like it with the new straps
If I were a back sleeper, I would have no problem, but as soon as I roll onto my side, I have leakage.
Yep. Me, too.
Don’t you feel like when you sleep on your side your head cuts off the air traveling thru the side tubes?
@@chewie2055 Only on one side. It compensates and works well.
One positive thing about the DreamWear masks is it’s interchangeability. The nasal cushion and the nasal pillow sections can be easily switched. Furthermore, the vents on the swivel tube connection reduces the front air exhaustion making your bed partner happier! 👍🏻
I used the full face because I breathe thru my nose and my mouth. There are natural leaks in the front of the mask and at the connector on top. I was told this leakage is normal. It is a bit bulky and if it's on its difficult to talk thru it. Overall I like the mask. I am claustrophobic but I can still use this as long as the air pressure is set properly and mine is on auto. I don't notice any noise.. just my breathing
Thank You So Much
Hello everybody! Thanks for the review!
I use this mask a week,it's very comfortable, but I feel a little bit cold on my head, so my question is:
Can there be any head complications(inflammation) in bald people due to the cold air overhead - air leak at the top of mask.
Thanks
Wondering if the Dreawear Full Face mask possibly comes with nasal cushion option? The other seems to leak more. Thanks
Hi, have the Dreamweaver Nasal Pillow and the Resmed version (Airfit P30i) of that, for my money the Resmed kills the Dreamwear. The Dreamweaver seems to leave an indented line in your hair across the top of your head, you can wash your hair all you like and it will still be there, Also sleeping on your side with the Dreamweaver caused a leaking issue for me, the Resmed did not cause either of these issues
I tried the airfit p30, and ended up taking it off during my sleep and then waking up from not being on cpap! It was 4 weeks of hell while I tried to adjust! When I went to see my Sleep Physician, we discovered that my nostrils are actually different sizes, which explained why it was so painful for me. They switched my P30 for the Dreamweaver Nasal, and I honestly haven’t slept so well since I started my Cpap therapy! I also have to use a chin strap as I am a mouth breather, but the flat hair is well worth it to have a good nights sleep.
I hated the P30 as I can’t stand anything in my nose. I am not a mouth breather. Currently using the Dreamwear full-face mask, but I’m a side sleeper and having the same leakage issues that others have mentioned. I’m considering the Dreamwear nasal mask, but confused.
I really wish I could use one of the nasal masks but I'm a mouth breather so I'm stuck with the full face option. I like the mask but after two nights I had to resort to putting on a disposable mask as a liner that fits easily under the full face rubber mask (I cut out a circle so the mouth and nostril area is open) It was much more comfortable bc the top of the rubber mask, which goes up against the bottom of the nose, caused a blister after two nights and my face was so chafed I felt like I had been skiing for hours w/o a mask on. Wearing the disposable mask underneath eliminated both problems and it was infinitely more comfortable against my skin. (Aqua4 was really soothing and helped the dryness on my face and lips)
I was a mouth breather only, I use to say my nose has a roller door as soon as I lay down the roller doors go down, but my sleep technician really wanted me to try the nasal one. First night was a little a hard, second night a lot easier. 3rd, no looking back. I have had the nasal one for nearly 3 months now. Easy, sometimes I stir in the night and think I have taken it off it’s that light lol feel my face, nope still on lol
Mouth breather too and use full face. Have u ever tried a chin strap? Didn't work for me but alot of ppl are still able to use nasal masks with one
Been using the full face for 2 years with little problem. Now in the last month I've had major leakage problems so I've had to tighten the mask to uncomfortable levels and it pulls my jaw in so I'm not getting as good of sleep. Switching to the F30i to see if that works.
Unfortunately they stretch over time, just replace the headgear or the frame if they’re stretched. No need to buy a completely new set. None of the gear is designed to last forever. 2 years is a long time for nightly use. I’m pretty sure it’s recommended to replace the support components for the mask every year.
I have two of The Mask the one that sits right under your nose and the other one that covers your mouth I like that one but where you have to lock it in by your mouth it really hurts my cheek bones because that plastic is very hard any suggestions how I can deal with that and they are right after you wash them they do start to leak and nobody can afford to buy another mask I mean they're very expensive
The HeadGear is too big and comes in only one size for the Full Face Mask. I am going back to the ResMed AirTouch F20 FF Mask..
Why do I get a major blast of air when I open my mouth while using the Dreamwear Nasal Mask? Also, is it usual to have a lot of resistance when exhaling thru your nose?
I have a question, Can philips Dreamwear full facemask be connected to the oxygen concentrator?
Hi all. Firstly thanks for the video. You’ve got a great way of explaining things. I’m new to Cpap and developed apnea after a tbi last year. I’ve been trying Fisher and paykel vitera masks but have had nothing but troubles with leaks. The machine in using is a Cpap SleepStyle. I’m dropping my jaw and when it relaxes the mask starts leaking. It wakes me up all the time. I find it strange that the industry charges enormous amounts of money for these masks. I can’t afford to pay 300-400 dollars to see if it might work and then try another. Insane system!My last attempt is a full face dreamwear. I’m really hoping it works. Any tips how to figure this out without spending all my money? If the dreamwear doesn’t work out I don’t know what to do. Btw I live in New Zealand. Cheers and sleep well folks
You are paying $400 for the mask or the CPAP machines?
@@deriesharodriguez6197 they charge 320-380nzd for masks. Bloody daylight robbery. The dreamware has been good and is only needing strap replacement every 6 months
Does the full face mask pull or put pressed on the base of the skull? The air sense full face mask seems to be putting pressure On a nerve at the base of my skull, causing pain in my left shoulder and tingling down my left arm. Perhaps I should’ve bought this one instead.
Which apap mask doesn’t give you under eyes puffiness I am desperate for an answer
I am trying out the DreamWear under the nose nasal mask. I am experiencing the hose pulling the head gear out of position. The weight of the hose is pulling the nasal piece up to my forehead or it slips down to below my mouth. Consequently I am never getting the required 4 hours of nightly use. Any helpful suggestions are most welcome. Please!
The noise is a real problem. I have gone back to my regular nasal mask even though I have moisture problems sometimes with that one. The noise is loud and I don't like it.
Quick question - If I buy the mask that comes with the nasal cushion and I find I want the nasal pillow for a better seal - does the nasal pillow snap in to the existing cushion or do I have to buy a cushion/pillow assembled? I hope this makes sense. Thank you for your video!!
yes they are interchangeable
all of them are interchangable
The one on the far left is a huge NO. I wake up and the machine says there was a leak during the night and I'm just like HOW I DIDNT EVEN MOVE. I believe it too cuz I have that empty feeling in my head. The mask on the far right is the 10/10 one. I have both cushions and haven't touched the far left one in months. Far right is just too superior.
i been using the dreamware full face mask and i can ssy it realy is comfortable and works well
It seems an odd-design to introduce arbitrary distance between incoming air from CPAP machine and where it needs to go (one's nose). My biggest concern (perhaps unwarranted) is that there's no way to periodically clean/disinfect the silicon channels that extend down from the top one's head.
i am prescribed at 12 CM pressure and the full face version always blows the seal throughout the night. The most I've been able to accommodate is 8 CM pressure. Also the inside of the soft translucent frame develops this sticky oily substance that requires a total break down cleanout once a week.
I have the same problem. My pressure is 13 and For some reason, the Dreamwear Full Facemask ALWAYS leaks from the left side of my nose, every once and a while it would leak around the mouth, but not often, I tried every size and readjusted it many times. The only way I got it to seal was having it so tight it caused sores on my face and chafed my nose :( I want a Resmed F30 but my supplier doesn't carry Resmed products, so I'm looking into getting a Dreamwear Nasal Mask and a chinstrap currently, but now I'm waiting for my doctor to write a prescription for it.
I switched from the older full face to the newer one that goes under your nose. I now use my machine much more often than I had under the old mask. So much more user friendly
Did you get a prescription first before changing? I was prescribed the nasal pillows after my sleep lab because the big full face mask twas intolerable. Can I switch on my own without involving the supplier and doctor?
"much more often" Every night, bro.
Can you switch between the nasal and under nose by switching the bottom piece?
can someone tell me how to change the full face mask piece? I cannot get mine apart and cannot find any info how to do that.
Where is mask settings in machine.
Which number is nasal mask
Which number is pillow and etc ?
I use the Dream maker pillow mask. I really like it as far as comfort but it does ride up the back of my head. Is it too small? I have a medium size.
Good question. It does that to me as well. I think you have to have a certain shaped head for the back strap to stay down and if you are a woman with longer hair....that strap slips up on the hair. I think a better design for the back would accommodate more had shapes.
Ask to be fitted at your respiratory therapist's office (not your home) so that they have all the tools handy to fit you correctly.
make sure that you are placing it under your hair.
once I clip the nasal cushion onto the frame, after using for sometime, I disassemble it for washing but I cannot seems to clip it back on.
Make sure the arrows line up together
Thank you for your information, help me how get a different mask
You’ll have to ask your doctor to get a new one 😌
For the first month we can use the nasal mask or must we take time for some months with full face mask before using nasal mask ?
Thanks please
Your respiratory therapist or physician should have given you the option depending on if you are a nose, mouth or both sleeper. Typically you are able to choose your 1st mask and are given 30 days to decide if you like it. My 1st mask was a nasal mask which is still what I prefer but I used the 30 day option to get a full mask also for when I am unable to breath through my nose. Now I have both.
Hi, my cpap supplier doesn't carry the full frame version. I am for years using the nasal version with great success (less than 5 stops breathing per hour most of the time ). The only problem is when I am very tired, I have the tendancy to release the muscles of my jaws and let air entry from my mouth, making noise and awakening my wife.
I am interested to the nasal full face, that would solve this problem, but I am also scared because one lady I met at a party told me she lost her husbands who was quite overweight , and using a full face mask (nose + mouth), and one night during his sleep and electric shutdown stopped the cpap working, and, she found him dead cold in the morning. I don't understand there is no battery alarm on theses expensive machines when this happen.
The nasal pillow has had bad reviews where it hurts the nostrils, makes them red
I'm a pretty new user and started with the dreamwear nasal pillows. It made the bottom of my nose raw. After a week I had to stop using it for my nose to heal. BUT... it came with 3 different size pillows and I had started with the medium. I switched to the small size and that made a huge difference. I have just a tiny bit of soreness in the morning when I remove the mask but the irritation has almost completely disappeared. So maybe try a smaller size and see if that helps. It did for me.
I use these masks and have no noise issues
Was excited to get my full DreamWear mask yesterday and tried it last night. The mask was very flimsy and I couldn’t get the nose part to fit very easily. That little band that runs across the nose piece was in the way. If felt like the mask was so close to my nose and lips that I couldn’t get a big huge hit of air very easily. I could hear the noise from the air in the tubes right by my ears. And lastly, the air was too warm going in my lungs. Maybe because my hair is cut short and the heat from my head, heated the tubes\air. No…I wasn’t using a humidifier. Those REALLY make me feel like I’m suffocating. I have mild COPD as well. I went back to my big big mask in the middle of the night and all is good. Am I just being nutty or what/
You are being nutty, neighbour! :^) Give it 21 days. Don't wear it too tight. Snug, not pulling. :)
Tried the full face mask, could never get a good seal. It also hurt my nose pushing up on my nose trying to get a good deal.
Jim, I have the same problem. My nasal mask is small (probably should be medium or large), but it cuts my nose where it connects with the skin above my mouth, almost like a paper cut. Bringing it up with my respiratory therapist, at their office (not my home), so they have all the tools to fit me correctly.
After almost a year of guessing what one should do, bc of poor instructions from the provider, I've found this website, which was very helpful. The great news is that I'm sleeping extremely well and most nights achieving a 100% score. The bad news is that my face has aged by 10 years due to the very deep lines left by the mask in the morning. Would love any suggestions on how to alleviate this please?
I use oval shaped cotton pads from the drugstore makeup section. I put a pad of two of these under each side of the straps on my cheekbones. Keeps the seal but raises strap off your skin.
The hose connection in full face mask makes very loud noise which is unbearable. You can move the hose to a position doesn’t make noise but when you move the noise comes back again. The straps also leave abrasion on the face. Leakage is mother known problem. The nasal mask is better than the full face but it makes my GERD worse. I don’t know what to do now.
Can anyone give me advice i got this mask but pressure never go over 6 and that was hard for breathe for me. My prescribed pressure was from 5-15. Before this mas i got nasal from Devilbiss. Machine is same Devilbiss Blue
only problem with the dreamwear nasal you are talking about at the 4 minute is the nose sometimes is in pain. I developed a sore under the nose. trying moleskin under the nose tonight
mine, at first ,irritated under the nose but after a few nights it went away and things have been fine since then.
@@bernardsimsic9334 been using over a year, my cure was just putting a little lotion on my nose prior to bed, no more issues.
I had that issue with my Resmed nasal pillow mask. I read online that using a bit of nipple cream prevents that. Worked like a charm!
Can they be thoroughly cleaned and dried inside?
I have the material nasal and it leaks constantly over the bridge of my nose by my cheeks.
It could help to try a smaller frame (the silicone part that's connected to the tube).
What setting do I put my machine on for the nasal (not pillow) version of this mask............pillows or mask?
Robert, tell your sleep doctor what kind of mask you are using, and ask for their opinion about making an adjustment in air pressure.
I am a new CPAP User and I have the full face mask and Dream Station 2. I am having problems adjusting the nasal part. It blows air in my face every night. I can not get the opening right. the clear part at the top rolls down and I get no air. I know I am doing something wrong but don't know what to do. I am a mouth breather so my DR ordered the full face. I wake up at night an the mask is ok but the first 10 plus minutes is not good.
Did you manage to figure out?
I've just started and I'm having the same problem.
I’m using the Dreamwear full face mask, and maybe it’s too small, but I feel like I’m suffocating, I keep trying to adjust but I just can’t exhale. I don’t know, maybe I’ll try a larger size to see if that does the trick.

I find the air tubes down each of face are a bit noisy.
I have a deviated septum, would the nasal pillow work for me?
Diane, I have a deviated septum, and my respiratory therapist told me to stay away from nasal and pillow masks.
@@monicaperez2843 why though? He/she would have given you a reason why you should not use this type of CPAP mask.
But, you haven’t connected the tube over the head, which is very uncomfortable for me.
I just started, and I still cant figure out ,how far does it go on your nose, I use the full face mask and how do you replace the cushions.
It goes up to where air does not leak anymore. If the air is leaking you're not putting it in correctly. It needs to create a seal like any other masks you wear like the N95 for covid19, you need to have it sealed all around .. no air leaking in or out. That is the proper way. You replace it if your insurance covers it.. otherwise you'd just have to buy it maybe every 6 mos.
These masks all sit “under” your nose.
I’m not a fan of the way he puts them on though, and have found it MUCH easier to put the mask in place under my nose, and then move the headgear straps back over my head. This is the way my Sleep Physician showed me, and I’ve found that by doing it this way I have a better seal.
@@wtfyhgtbfkm It's different for everyone. Do what works best for you with your mask type. Not all the masks sit under your nose. I tested some fuller ones that covers mouth along with nose for people who tend to open their mouths when they sleep or have nose congestion due to allergies. I also have some that covers just the whole nose, and some that goes in the nostrils. I seriously don't want my nostrils to be stretched out and look like a pig with the nose pushed back.. but what can I do.. can't get used to the other mask types.
@@wtfyhgtbfkm That's the way I put it on . . .
I have all 3 oddly I find the full face one the most comfortable sleep wise. Some reason though I feel like I’m suffocating with it on... idk if I’m gasping for air when that happens trying to snore etc lol idk anyone else have that issue thanks!!
MaNdA PaNdA 87 I have the same issue with all full face masks. I can’t seems to figure out what the issue is
@Shawna W Ya, know how you feel, been trying to adjust for almost two weeks now. My 2nd night was the best, had it on for over 3 hours and really could tell the difference the next morning. I keep getting that suffocating feeling especially if I roll to my side, one tube doesn't seem to be enough air for me. I have not been able to breath through my nose with this, although I usually breath through my mouth, but today I was playing around with the different sized masks and actually the small looks like will fit me better so I can breath through my nose. Kind of surprised ma as I'm 6' 3"! Good luck, hope your doing better now!
I have claustrophobia and use the dreamwear full face. In the beginning I felt I was suffocating too but having my pulmonalogist yet m turn my pressure to automatic has made a tremendous difference. I always feel the air in the mask so I don't feel like I'm suffocating anymore
I get sore nose bridge I have tried a lot of masks still have not found the one
This range will be good as it sits under the nose.
Currently using the full face mask and it is leaking around my cheeks and is hurting the tip of my nose.
bad fit
Change to the nasal one. You won’t be sorry, I get 100% every night, Been nearly 3mths now. I was a mouth breather as well but adjusted to nose really well
@@sandrakamback7441 I eventually went to the ResMed AirTouch, I love it and it works great but having to buy masks monthly I now only use the AirFit.
I like the face mask except that the little strip that goes over your upper lip slips up over my nares. Also I perspire under the silicone and it itches.
Sounds like you have an allergy to silicone. Bring this up with your sleep doctor and respiratory therapist.
@@monicaperez2843 don't think so. the under nose mask doesn't do that. I think I perspire more with the full mask and it itches. I just wish the fit was better for either. tried all kinds of sizes and medium in all masks is the best but I have a short face and that seems to be an issue as well.
I tried one with the pillows,and below the pillows there slit for air to escape,the problem it would
vibrate and make noise,I quite using the mask.....
Want to inform you this stop snoring solution t.co/Dre5IfqVTi has did wonders for me, utilizing the three minute version. Since I trulysnore so loud before. There are several routines that you can and each exercise can truly decrease the snore sound until you will notice that you no longer snore.
Does teh nasal mask come with a chin strap for open mouth breathers
no, I bought the Res Med model
Mine keeps slipping off the strip won't stay on the back of my head does that mean I have too go from a med head frsm 5oba large
Mark, I have the same problem. It slides no matter what. I just have to get a different model or glue it to my head. Before anyone chimes in ,yes I am wearing it correctly
+ Mark Perry Mark I decided to go with a small full face. I needed it to hold down in back and my sleep therapist and I decided a nose one alone may not stay on. its ordered. Good luck with yours. Go to LankyLefty27 website and comment..you may get the info you need
Why can't I get a good mask seal?
Nearing 2 weeks on a full face mask, tried multiple adjustments.
Got a resmed bipap and it continuously says bad mask, seal .
I just keep moving mine around until I get a good seal. U may need to tighten the straps
Hi, I have had several ( like 10 ) sinus infections in about 3 years since I’ve been using nasal pillows. I can’t seem to find much out there on sinus infection from cpap usage. Does the nasal mask work that much differently from nasal pillows? I need help! Thanks!
Deidre Jessup you aren’t cleaning your equipment enough. I’ve had 10 sinus infections in a few months. Clean more often
hi deidre, if you had sinus problems before this or a deviated septum in the nose then you shouldnt use the nasal pillows as it can cause infections. i'd change to one of the other masks and see how you get on.
how does these masks do with higher pressures like 15-20
mask is horrible for me it leaks everywhere. ive tryed and tryed but cant get it to work. Wanted to use this mask so bad.
Where is the cheapest place to buy these they are very expensive at the chemist.
Wish
Do they make these Masks without the Magnets,I have a ICD and magnets are a NO-NO.
doubtful these magnets would be strong enough to cause an issue. They are small in size, so the magnetic feild is going to be small as well. Look at the size and strength of the magnet used to reset your ICD and this could guide you. As always, when in doubt or have a question, ask your Dr.
important question for everyone. How do people clean their cpap mask? I got Phillips Respronics Dreamwear Full Face Mask and I clean this mask in warm soapy water every day, and in 20 days, this mask is leaking really badly and no longer usable. This is how long a cpap mask last?! I thought I could get at least 3-6 months from them by cleaning everyday. Was my water too warm maybe?
You use a detergent that is too strong. The silicone is dried up by washing in concentrated detergents and hot water, it looses its elasticity and starts leaking. Just a few drops of mild dishwashing liquid in a spray bottle. Spray a generous amount of the solution, rub with your fingers and rince in cool water immediately, shake the water and let air dry. I have used a cpap machine for the past seven years, I use tap water and my masks last at least a year. Where I live the city water is not hard and I soak my water container in vinegar once a month. I rince it every morning under the hot tap and let it air dry, once a week I spray the inside with household cleaner like Fantastik or Simple Green and let it stand for the whole day. In the evening I do a full rince with lots of water, kills all germs. Done that for seven years, never a problem, no infection.
Wetrock you will have a lot less
to clean if you use distilled water. I gallon lasts me 1 month and absolutely no hard water deposits
I've found a way to extend the life of mask. Mask that I thought was unusable, I soak in cold water
Strap rides up in the back of my head ,doesn't stay in place
4:14 start machine and talk ....... ?? where do you think the air is flowing.
Hello, I have apnea and also snore, what kind of mask should I use? ... thanks !!!!
If you're a mouth breather while sleeping, you should use the full mask, otherwise the nasal would be okay.
Good question!
You should talk to an experienced sleep therapist, polysomnographic technologist or other trained professional familiar with various devices. What works for someone else may not be right for you.
Full face mask was giving me wrinkles!
as far as I'm concerned dreamwear mask isn't for me. I keeps sliding off where i can no longer use it. Getting a different one this week. Anything but that
Dave, you may need a smaller head gear.
@@monicaperez2843 Monica. I did get a different one a nasal that is an airfit and it was I thought what I wanted. Problem is I wear a medium wide. It was a medium and in that model there is no large or wide, so I just made some adjustments and adjustments and it seems to be a little better, but I never thought of a small. If this just drives me crazy, I will look at other masks but since I need a wide my options are a little limited. Thats why I went with dreamwear. I got the medium it came with and easily changes it out with medium wide. Thank you for responding, I appreciate it, thank you Dave
@@monicaperez2843 got it taken care of. I was using it wrong. I use the nasal. Pillow uncomfortable for me. Full face not for me only the nasal.
Actually the first mask you tried on you can’t talk to people while wearing it cause it’ll create a vacuum in your mouth
When you first use a CPAP or BIPAP it will feel that way, but no mask and or machine actually stops you from talking, you just have to get use to talking with it on is all. I've been using a CPAP for more than 15 years now, and I can talk with it on as good as I can talk with it off, but I remember it being very awkward at first. By now, I'm sure you already know this, though. 😉👍
Cómo la puedo lavar cuantas veces
La puedes lavar una vez a la semana. La puedes lavar con una solución de jabón liquido que NO tenga aroma especialmete la pieza que va en la nariz. La restriegas con la mano ya que cualquier grasa nasal o cutanea que se adhiera se va a disolver con la solucion de jabon. Enjuagala muy bien con agua tibia hasta asegurarte que no quede ningun residuo de jabón. La puedes secar con una toallita de algodon y despues sacudirla con la mano de manera que cualquier agua atrapada se deslize hacia afuera. Diariamente, las almohadillas nasales la puedes limpiar con una toallita humeda descartable. Dejala simpre secando al aire por una hora evitando por supuesto polvo, insectos y mascotas.

What we need to know is what impact these have on your AHI and what the RESULTS are dude!
It’s not really a review if you haven’t used the masks. Telling us about what you read isn’t very helpful.
His reviews are not reviews at all.
I have worn one every night for 2 years. I have tried all 3. I like the full face most because I have sinus problems and sometimes mouth breath. Hardly any noice. Recommend it highly.
@@barb865 everything he said is correct. Coming from a person who wears one
Can't be good for side sleepers with the air- tube straps
I've read if you're on your side and the tube collapses air just simply goes through the other side. No problem. I'm about to try the Dreamwear myself or possibly the DreamWisp.
Your product works but is very expensive, especially after buying/replacing the other equipment.
its not his product, its philips, and all masks are expensive
The problem I am having is the crazy hoops I have to jump thru to get a new CPAP. After having a CPAP for 5 years, and depending on it for sleep, I am supposedly "entitled" to get a new one (by medicare). I want a second CPAP simply in case one breaks. But now I have to see a "sleep doctor", and go thru another sleep study to get a new CPAP. Originally I had to go thru a sleep study, but I never even heard of a "sleep doctor". If I could just get a doctor to give me a script, I would buy another CPAP for cash. It would be worth it to me to skip the "sleep doctor" and another (sleepless) "sleep study."
@@bobaldo2339 if you can buy a cpap for cash then you dont really need a script
@@bobaldo2339 Hi Bob. I wanted the same thing. I wanted a backup cpap incase my original cpap machine failed. I found this website that will sell without a prescription. Actually bought one a years or so ago. www.secondwindcpap.com/Used_CPAP.html
@@bobn8865 it's actually illegal. They are RX only for a reason, but that doesn't stop people. If you know what & where to access the settings for you, then you can customize most newer machines. The Physician settings are "hidden" on most machines, but are accessible by holding down several buttons at the same time. UA-cam videos.
SNORKS
Phillips dreamwear nasel mask
The full face makes my nose skin bleed
Crap machines and their replacement parts is one of the biggest rip offs in this business.. I purchased my original machine for $350 and have been using it for 5 years. The replacement parts do not resemble anywhere near the value of the parts as they are charging double and triple the price to replace rubberized replacement parts. Here if you need a machine etc they send you to a representative who teaches you the use of the equipment then they immediately screw you to the tune of thousands of dollars to purchase the machine. Time we need an honest chap dealer in thegame
I've been using a CPAP machine for almost 20 years now and everything you've said is 100% true! The difference in quality from 20 years ago and now is huge, but the price of things is the same if not more, and you get junk for your money. The Phillips machines are a perfect example of this! 🙄
A few more bucks for a camera would greatly improve your channel
I need INSTRUCTIONS on how to properly wear the mask. STOP the benefits and features!
Thay smell realy realy bad, i hope its only the first days cus its a realy bad rubber smell.
He obviously works for the company. Not objective.

Script is covering up the mask and everything that he's doing. It's useless if I can't see what he's doing.
The dreamware nasa mask l sucked very very noisy it fucking sucked, mask leaked all fucking night, returning it!
