Amara Gel Full Face Mask by Philips Respironics
Designed by Philips Respironics, the Amara Gel Full Face CPAP Mask features a gel cushion that contours to your face to form a firm yet comfortable seal around the nose and mouth. With a lightweight headgear that rests comfortably on your head, the Amara Gel Full Face Mask delivers exceptional performance for a comfortable night's sleep.
Comfortable Gel Cushion
The Amara Gel Full Face CPAP Mask features with a dual-wall gel cushion that is designed to eliminate leaks. The inner wall forms a tight seal around the nose and mouth while the outer wall forms a stable base. The gel cushion is available in four sizes (petite, small, medium and large) and all of the sizes are compatible with the same mask frame.
Lightweight Frame and Adjustable Headgear
The Amara Gel Full Face CPAP Mask boasts a lightweight frame that makes cushion replacement a breeze with its convenient "single-click" design. The frame is attached to a four-point adjustable headgear that includes quick-release clips for easy mask fitting and adjustments. This design allows users to remove the mask by simply releasing the clips from the frame, eliminating the need to loosen the Velcro straps on the headgear, saving time and hassle in readjusting the headgear.
Quiet Performance
The Amara Gel operates quietly thanks to the numerous exhalation ports on its elbow. The ports diffuse air away from the user and bed partner to minimize disruptions, ensuring a better night's sleep.
Adjustable Forehead Support
Full face mask users often struggle with mask leak around the nasal bridge which not only affects therapy but can also cause dry eyes. The Amara Gel Full Face CPAP Mask addresses this issue with its adjustable "fine-glide" forehead support, which helps to improve the seal around the nasal bridge. The forehead support can be adjusted in small increments, allowing for a more customized and effective seal during CPAP therapy.

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.
Subject: Terrible!
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.
Hi there, we are sorry this mask did not work out for you. Please note we do have a 30 day mask assurance program which is applicable once every 6 months. Just let us know within 30 days of purchasing the mask and we can provide you store credit towards a different mask. Thank you.
FWIW - I've had an Amara Gel mask for about a month now, and really like it. It's comfortable, seals well with not too much pressure, and allows a mouth-breather like me to get through the night pretty well.
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.
Subject: Amara gel full face mask
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.

Subject: Customer service
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!
Subject: Gel is great
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 was given this strap and mask with my unit from a medical supply store and it makes a great difference in my rest. However I needed a new one and it would cost me over $150 at same supply store so I searched on line. I’m very pleased with my product and it was cheaper in price for same quality at supply store.

Subject: Bought this for a relative
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.
