Amara Gel Full Face Mask With Headgear by Philips Respironics
Prefer a softer and more secure traditional full face cushion? The Philips Respironics Amara Gel Full Face Mask is definitely what you need.Featuring a dual-wall gel cushion, the mask contours to your face and creates a comfortable seal around the nose and mouth, perfect for those with sensitive skin.
With four Velcro straps, the headgear offers an easily customizable fit. Once you’ve adjusted the fit, simply press the quick-release headgear clips onto the frame to put the mask back on.
The forehead support can also be adjusted in small increments. Just press and hold the button to slide it toward or away from your face.
Attaching the cushion to the frame is easy, thanks to the frame’s one-click design. The frame is designed to be compatible with all gel cushion sizes, so you can save time and money when switching between cushion sizes.
The cushion may need to be replaced more frequently, typically every 2 to 3 months to ensure an optimal seal.
- Gently pull the mask away from your face and then release it, allowing the cushion seal to inflate and settle comfortably around your nose and mouth.
- Make sure to clean both your mask cushion and your face, as facial oils can interfere with the seal.
- Ensure you're wearing your Amara Gel mask according to the fitting instructions in the user guide or the video below. The way you put on the mask significantly impacts the seal.
- Adjust your headgear as necessary.
- Try a larger or smaller cushion or headgear size.
- Replace any worn out mask parts.
Daily cleaning: cushion, frame, elbow with swivel
- Disassemble the mask.
- Soak the mask parts in warm water with mild soap. Avoid soaking for more than 10 minutes.
- Rinse all parts thoroughly under running water, squeezing out excess water from the headgear.
- Lay parts out to air dry away from direct sunlight.
They customer service is above par. I ordered a mask and because of the high pressure from my cpap it would not seal at night. They replaced it with the same mask but with the gel seal. It works great and am able to sleep without the cpap blowing into my eyes! Much appreciate the customer service and will be buying all my supplies from respshop!
He had originally bought one that only covered the nose and didn't like it at all. He said that this one, which covered the nose and the mouth
(a full face mask) was very comfortable.
Wanted a full-face gel mask and so I found this mask. Very happy with it, the gel does make the cushion much more comfortable. Strong seal, good air flow, all that helps make for a very good sleep. The forehead pad feels fine, doesn't cause any red marks. And the headgear is nice and comfortable, it holds on tight without causing pain.
I’ve heard good things about gel masks but I prefer full face mask user, so I couldn’t get the ComfortGel one that’s very popular. This seemed to be of a similar concept however, so I picked it up on a whim and I’ve been very happy with it.
Comfort: The cushion is lined with gel which helps to conform to your facial structure/nose. I’ve found this to be very helpful and it’s amenable to a variety of angles and facial differences. Had my wife try it and she thought it was comfortable too, so it seems adaptable. It’s also a dual-wall design which helps for fit and seal. I can see why people like gel cushions so much and I can’t imagine myself moving away from them in the future. As for the rest of the mask, it’s comfortable as well. The straps are fine to adjust, the material is soft, and there’s sufficient hold points. It uses a forehead pad which isn’t a bother, it spreads the weight out well and I’ve avoided lines and imprints.
Performance: The dual layer design helps it seal up well. I’m able to get a tight fit around my mouth and nose, which keeps the air from escaping. Breathing has been excellent and almost no air leaks out. Also, the vent design helps to diffuse the air exhalation which has been nice for my wife when I’m sleeping at night. All in all, this is an excellent mask which I would highly recommend.
There's one point that could use improvement: The vents for the mask are at the elbow where the hose attaches. I would prefer these vents to be in the mask itself, forcing fresh air up and over my mouth and nose.
The mask separates into the headgear and mask sections, and is easily cleaned.
This mask is by far the worst fitted I have tried. The mask does not form a tight fit to the face and leaks are constantly, even with the straps pulled tight. Also, the vent on the front is noisy to say the least.
I thought with the forehead piece it would keep the mask even on the face and prevent from coming off during the night. It failed and I honestly would not recommend.

I thought this mask would be cool and hemline on my face. It's anything but. In order to get it to not leak, I have to tighten it so much it causes pain. It's hot and sweat. I definitely do not recommend this mask.
