Purchase the new "headgear with arms" and replace the existing headgear. Ended nighttime leaks and the headgear climbing up the back of my head. Made all the difference for me. Have gone back to using this mask.
I absolutely love this mask. Yea there is a learning curve to prevent excessive air leak..Took 2 or 3 days for manageable leak then after a full week 0 leak. What I tell folks Don’t up Play with it Great tips on this Video Sir..Had I seen this video first would have gotten 0 leaks sooner. Been about 3 weeks now..very comfortable No leaks and I am a roller…No marks on face no irritation..Just awesome..Just remember there is a learning curve..Don’t give up in the first day or 2 ..
This mask is so awesome! No nasal prongs. It's like Angelina Jolie has her luscious lips snugged up against your nose. If you make sure the hose connection is 1) on the "top" of your head, and 2)the band is placed horizontal or lower, it won't leak and it will feel great! Having the hose on top of your head, rather than on your nose, elephant trunk style, is a major comfort and vision improvement.
Found this video and after reading other comments and through my own experiences, find that this mask is ideal for us back sleepers. When I do turn onto my side, the mask feels awkward. I also have felt pads covering the part along my cheeks so that feels better too.
Recently have been trying this mask, really like it, however it has been giving me a small sore / reddened area just under my nose. Any guidance on this aspect or does that improve in time?
I love this mask. No matter how I sleep it is fine. I'm a mouth breather and have trained myself to keep it closed. I do a quick check through the night and go back to sleep.
I gave this mask a two week trial using the suggestions noted. I've used nose-pillow style masks for all of the 8 years I've been using CPAP, starting with the Swift. My most recent mask was the Resmed Airfit P10 before trying the Dreamwear mask. I'm a side/stomach sleeper, and this mask had too many leak issues for me. I *may* give it another trial at some point in the future, but I'm back to my P10 with no leak issues... YMMV.
ok I have that mask and breathing is fine but at night the frame slips around and can come off. Any ideas how to prevent that. My hair is receeding but is normal height 1-2" thank you
I have the gel nasal mask (medium pillows) and I find that if the inserts aren't centered in my nostrils, it feels harder to breathe and is uncomfortable. Anyone else?
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 mask i got nasal from Devilbiss. Machine is same Devilbiss Blue
I've used the Resmed nasal pillows almost exclusively since I started sleeping with a CPAP in 2010. I just received the Dreamware mask four days ago and I'm not sleeping well at all. If I turn to my stomach or side, the mask begins to whistle. It takes so much adjusting once that happens, that I'm pretty much awake. I may have to switch back to nasal pillows because I'm miserable and sleepy. I feel like I'm the only person that is having problems with this mask.
Douglas S - You aren't the only one who struggles with the Dreamwear...whatever your current size is, use the next size down, if you have it (example, your current mask cushion is medium, switch to small) Sometimes this is the single change that makes all the difference. 1.877.430.2727 and we'll help!
I followed your advice and changed to small. I slept great last night! I'm glad I found you, thanks so much for the advice. I still want to try the Gel Pillows in the future.
Injust started treatment and I had a full face mask, now I have a nasal mask which works better when I’m on my back. But I sleep on my side and the mask constantly leaks into my eyes! Should I try this mask?
This mask proved useless to me. Even after my supplier tried to fit it for me, it would not seal. Perhaps the pressure setting had something to do with it?

On Dreamwear full face mask should there be air leaking from tube connection on top of head? Thanks

I call this the "teletubby" mask because of the connection on the top... Hahaha!

I absolutely will give you a call! What are your thoughts on the Gel Nasal Pillows from Dreamwear?

Não entendi nadinha...
great mask for fit and feel..now if they could decrease the air noise and whistle it would be Great..going back to my pillows
☆☆☆
They should have included wraps the fit around sides of the mask and deaden some of the air sound.
this without a doubt is the worst pos i have ever purchased
