Eclipse CPAP/BiPAP Mask Starter Kit
From the makers of DreamPort comes a mask that’s just as simply brilliant yet packs significant improvements: the BLEEP Eclipse.
Consisting of only a frame, a flexible 16-inch tube with a diffuser, and Halo adhesives, this innovative mask is over 35% smaller than popular nasal/nasal pillow masks on the market.
No more fumbling with adjustments or overtightening – this headgear-free mask provides a true one-size-fits-all design. It makes strap marks, hair loss, claustrophobia, and nose irritation a thing of the past, letting you wake up refreshed and ready to face the day.
Featuring MagSeal technology*, the Eclipse takes ease of use to the next level. To start your therapy, simply fasten the frame’s magnetic nostril ports to the magnetic rings on the Halo adhesives. You can even trim the patches to ensure a perfect fit, even if you have a beard or a mustache.
*Magnets used in the Eclipse™ are within ICNIRP guidelines for general public use. The magnetic strength is 65 mT. Ensure the mask is at least 0.8 inches (2 cm) away from any active medical implant or medical device (e.g., pacemaker, defibrillators, neurostimulators, cochlear implants, hearing aids), to avoid possible effects from localized magnetic fields. If you or a household member has magnets or metals in your bodies, consult a physician prior to use.
RespShop Review
by Susan, CSSC
When I saw that BLEEP had come out with a new mask that does not require a headgear, I was ecstatic!
After reviewing some helpful videos online, I asked if we could order the BLEEP Eclipse to try it out, and I am glad we did. On occasion I have issues with my headgear slipping around while sleeping and was bothered by the marks the mask left on my face. After one night of use, I was surprised as to how well the cushions stuck to my nostrils as well as how durable and comfortable the mask felt on my face.
The BLEEP Eclipse is easy to wash and simple to use, which I really appreciate. It’s also very travel friendly because it’s so small. While the manufacturer suggests using a hose lift for tube management, I slept just fine without one.
I found it very easy to wake up in the middle of the night by simply detaching the magnetic nasal cushion from the Halos or removing the interface hose from my CPAP tube. I was unsure whether the cushion would stay in place all night or whether the Halos nasal tape would remain attached, but both worked very well. The Halos are made of hypoallergenic surgical-grade adhesive that is free of BPA, corn, and latex.
The very best thing about the Bleep Eclipse is NO LEAKS! This mask really does stay in place all night without any leaks. I slept like a baby!
What I liked about the Eclipse:
- Simple to use
- Easy to clean
- No headgear
- No CPAP mask marks on face
- No leaks = better sleep
- Hypoallergenic
What I didn't like as much about the Eclipse:
- Halos are not reusable and need to be purchased regularly.
- The Eclipse uses magnets to connect to the Halos, so if you have any medical implants like a pacemaker, you should talk to your doctor before use.
- Hand wash the frame in a basin of warm water with mild soap. Agitate the frame in the water for 20 to 30 seconds and let it soak for no more than ten minutes.
- Rinse the frame thoroughly under running water.
- Let the frame air dry completely out of direct sunlight.
- The Eclipse Connector Frame typically needs replacing every 90 days.
- The Halo adhesives are single-use. One box of 32 Halos will last for approximately 16 nights
- Clean the area around your nostrils with a mild astringent like witch hazel or rubbing alcohol. Avoid using soap or makeup remover as they contain oils and moisturizers that will affect adhesion.
- (Optional): If you have a mustache, trim the hair just below your nostrils for better adhesion.
- Peel off the backing paper from one Halo. Carefully place it on your nose with the metal ring centered directly over your nostril.
- Gently smooth the adhesive part of the Halo outwards, pressing it firmly onto your skin, especially around the septum (the area between your nostrils) and the outer edges.
- Repeat steps 3 and 4 for the other nostril. Make sure the second Halo's adhesive doesn't overlap the metal ring of the first Halo already applied. You may need to trim the second Halo (with the paper backing still on) to avoid overlap.
Halos removal:
- Gently peel the Halos down and away from the nose to remove.

The Eclipse mask is really a game changer especially if you're have any leak issues. It's so comfortable and so minimalistic - I Love it!
I really like this mask! I have not had any mask leaks at all since using it. I also appreciate not having marks on my face from the other masks. I was dubious about how this mask would work but with the Mask Assurance Policy I felt I had nothing to lose. So glad i did! The magnets hold very well, and the nasal tapes stay in place and are easy to put on and remove. My only concern is the non-reusable nasal tape "hallow" so I plan to stock up when they go on sale. Best sleep I have has since starting cpap!
This has changed my entire experience with BiPAP. I used to dread the mask use because no matter what mask I tried, they leaked and left huge creases running across my face.
I was skeptical of the adhesive at night since I have scars just from allergic reactions to using a simple Band-Aid. The adhesive has never caused a problem, though. Weirdly enough, I've even had little cuts or scrapes on my nose, and they are able to heal at night even with the adhesive attached.
I can't say enough good things about this set-up.
This mask is great for travelling. It packs to a very small size, and works pretty well during the nights. Anyone who travels a lot should seriously consider purchasing this mask.
There isn’t much to the mask but it does its job perfectly. You stick on the pads and they hold in under your nostrils. The adhesive is sufficiently strong and holds on through a night, but is also easy to remove in the mornings. Because it’s so simple, it should be pretty comfortable for everyone. I didn’t have any air leaks and I don’t imagine you will either. However, you’re supposed to replace the stick ons every night. I’ve been following those instructions pretty faithfully, but this is where the previously mentioned caveat comes into play. It’s about 24 dollars for 16 nights worth of replacements. This means it’s about 1.5 dollars per night which can really add up over a year. I only use this when I travel so the costs aren’t insurmountable, but for this reason, I think it precludes this mask from being used daily.
If cost isn’t an issue, then you can use this mask daily without issue. It’s comfortable, lightweight, and works well. Doesn’t slip and provides excellent performance. A very innovative system that is only hampered by the price of daily use
Probably most importantly, how well does something like this fit/perform? Initially, I was quite skeptical. I was worried the adhesive wouldn’t hold and leaks would occur. However, I can say that all those worries were unfounded and it’s very uncomfortable. It’s by far the most comfortable mask I’ve ever used, simply because there’s almost nothing to it. The adhesive is strong and forms a good seal, meaning I have no problems breathing. No nasal irritation of any sort, which makes me very happy. Honestly it's better than any pillow, nasal, or full face mask and I've tried a lot of different masks of all shapes and sizes. One caveat however.
The adhesive patches wear out over time and you’ll have to purchase replacements. I only use the DreamPort when I travel so it hasn’t been too bad replacing them every night, but it may become expensive if you use it full time. Haven’t tried using an adhesive more than one night, perhaps it could last a little longer.
It sounds like I’m complaining but really, I don’t think the replacement pads are a big issue. For me at least, good sleep is worth whatever money I need to spend on it. The DreamPort is top of the class for travel masks that I’ve tried and it will continue to serve that purpose.
I finally called the manufacturer and talked to a guy named Stewart. He was very courteous and helpful, we did a FaceTime video and he walked me through the steps of setting it up and connecting it correctly. I found I wasn’t connecting it correctly but after talking to Stewart it works perfectly.
Since I have a deviated septum and crooked nose, I have had to wear other masks so tight they become very painful after a short while. The Bleep DreamPort solves the pain issues I was having. With the help of Stewart from Bleep, the mask doesn’t leak nor does it cause pain like the others. Thank you so much for your help Stewart. I will definitely recommend the DreamPort to others.

So the little adhesive connectors were very difficult in wearing. Good luck if there were a wrinkle in the sticky part. I was only sent a 30 day supply of connectors and the tubing does not secure properly. Big waist of time and money!
Hi Travis, we have a 30 day guarantee on our masks so please reach out to us at 866-936-3754 and we can discuss a replacement as long it is within 30 days of purchase. Thank you.
Hose fitting wouldn't stay connected and was very loud and distracting. Big waste of money!!
