DreamWear Nasal Mask (with upgraded headgear and arms) - Philips Respironics
Philips Respironics breaks the mold in CPAP mask design with the DreamWear Nasal Mask by placing the tube on top of the head and the cushion just below the nose. The result is a very comfortable and minimalist mask construction. If you have sleep apnea and have been prescribed nasal CPAP or if you have been struggling to find a mask that works for you, check out the DreamWear line of unique CPAP masks!
The DreamWear Nasal Mask includes the second generation of DreamWear headgear which has two arms over the ears to ensure exceptional fit and stability throughout your night.
Minimalist Design
The DreamWear nasal mask has a simple, elegant construction. The DreamWear nasal cushion cradles the nose from beneath. The cushion seals both nostrils without covering the entire nose or pressing anything against the forehead. As a result, irritation and discomfort at the center of the face vanish.
The under-the-nose cushion leaves you with an open line of sight. Reading a book or watching TV before bed is now a breeze. This forward-thinking mask is truly an all-around win.
Innovative DreamWear Frame
The DreamWear frame is a smooth, silicone tube. Air flows through the frame and into the DreamWear cushion. The frame accommodates any sleeper, achieving the perfect seal while maintaining sufficient airflow throughout the night. You do not have to worry about favoring one side over the other. Airflow through the frame and cushion is not compromised regardless of what side you lie on.
Skin Friendly
Worried about skin irritation or mask marks on your face? The included fabric wraps take your worry away. The fabric wraps come with the DreamWear FitPack and can also be purchased separately. You will want to keep a set of these on hand because they are so gentle on your cheeks.
Multiple Sizes
Finding a mask for CPAP therapy that fits just right is often a daunting task. The DreamWear frame comes in Small, Medium, and Large. The DreamWear nasal cushion is available in Small, Medium, Medium-Wide, and Large. With so many sizing options available, almost certainly there is a size combination perfect for you.

FAQ
How should I clean my DreamWear?
It is quite simple to clean the DreamWear, and just like any other mask, the cushion should be cleaned daily. By using warm water and mild soap, you will prolong the overall lifespan of all parts of the mask. Avoid antibacterial and scented soaps. Rinse all parts well and allow time for air drying. Clean the cushion daily and the rest of the mask (headgear, frame, elbow connector) once a week and allow all parts to air dry. Do not dry the headgear or any of the DreamWear parts in a clothes dryer.
How do I locate the size of my current DreamWear mask?
The cushion size can be found on the front of the cushion next to the arrow where it plugs into the frame. The cushion comes in Small, Medium, Medium-Wide, and Large. The frame size is stamped near its connection to the swiveling elbow. The frame is available in Small, Medium, and Large.
Does this mask come with a short tube?
No. The mask comes with a 360° swiveling elbow but no short tube. Since your CPAP circuit connects overhead, the tubing does not apply downward drag on the mask, so a short tube extension is not needed.
What is the size of the frame included in the FitPack?
The FitPack includes a Medium-sized frame. The Medium frame fits most people. Small and Large frames are available for purchase separately.
What is the difference between the DreamWear with Arms and the original DreamWear Nasal Mask without Arms?
The difference is the headgear. The Headgear with Arms is a refreshed and upgraded design to prevent unintentional mask movement during sleep. The mask uses the same nasal cushions and frame as the original DreamWear nasal mask. If you already own a DreamWear nasal mask, you can just purchase the Headgear with Arms separately to upgrade your DreamWear system.
Recommended If You Have Facial Hair
We all have unique facial structures, and Respshop carries a vast variety of masks for CPAP so that everyone can find what works best for them. Facial hair is simply another consideration in the search for that ideal mask.
Traditionally shaped triangular nasal masks that sit on the bridge of the nose and anchor on the lower lip might cause hiccups with the fit. But nasal cradle masks that rest under the nose fit many with facial hair superbly. The DreamWear Nasal CPAP Mask uses an under-the-nose cushion that rests high on the upper lip. This mask also features a frame and headgear that outline the periphery of facial hair for many people.
When shopping for a CPAP mask to wear with facial hair, don’t fall into the trap of sizing up. Use the sizing guide and select the size that fits your facial structure. Over-sizing results in leaks, frustration, and discomfort.

Not very happy with it. Because the hose attaches on top of my head it is difficult to hook up, with catches in my hair and clashes with the headboard of my bed. Also, it takes some fiddling get it to sit properly under my nose. Even then it sometimes shifts during the night. The small amount of air leakage that is ‘normal’ can be irksome blowing on my face. To clean it requires pulling the headgear straps out through openings in the mask assembly and I wonder how many times it will last before it rips. I’m going get the Pilairo again and return this one. The problem is that I won’t get a refund OR a retroactive store credit BEFORE I can change it.
I have tried many other masks and so far DreamWear is the most comfortable with hardly no air leak. I am finally able to have long, uninterrupted sleeps. As a result I wake up rested and stay alert through out the day.
With DreamWear mask, it is possible to sleep on your side.
Nose piece (cushion) is amazingly comfortable and won't leave any bruise marks. Frame can leave marks however felt frame cover attachments helps reduced marks.
Only negative is the headgear, it looses its shape and tension within a month. It needs to be longer lasting.
This mask works extremely well for me, I no longer have a to look for other options.
I use small frame and small cushion
Subject: Dreamwear Nasal Cushion is a good mask
I started wearing this mask with the wrong size. MY FAULT. I should have used the little measuring thingy. I thought I was a medium because my husband said, "That one is good". LOL Anywhoooo...lots of leaks when the pressure increased. So I changed to a small cushion size and that really helped. Learn from me. The measuring thingy is better than your husband's opinion. And the mask is very comfortable and flip around and sleep on my side and squish my face. I have to still give it a 4 because it is still leaking a bit with high pressure. I just got the Resmed Airfit p30i and the pillows hold a much better seal. And it's comfortable. So I like it better.

Not the mask for me. It gets stuck to my hair and pulls it. When I move at night when I'm asleep, the connection gets caught on to the headboard and bed causing me to wake up and adjust it. What I do like is that I can wear my glasses with the mask on and read or watch TV prior to going to sleep. I'll keep this one as a backup and stay with the same style CPAP mask I have been using for years.
Thank you for reaching out to us! This is my favorite mask but I do put my hair up so I don't have that problem. Luckily we do have a mask assurance policy so give us a call so we can rectify this.

I can't see that it is any different except for the knobs on the side. I dislike them intensely; they catch in my hair. I ordered a silk skull cap to wear, but it just bunches up. Anything heavier would make me way too hot.
I went back to my old mask because I couldn't deal with my hair getting pulled out.
I would like to return it or exchange it for the old style, if Respshop would do that.
Hi there, we have a 30 day mask assurance program that is applicable every 6 months. If it is still within the 30 day period, please reach out to us. 866-936-3754.
I am very pleased with the DreamWear mask overall. This is really the first mask I have used other than the mask I wore the night of the testing at the sleep center. The mask at the center was a full face mask and the the MOST uncomfortable thing I have ever worn. This mask is very light and comfortable.I have even worn it watching TV at bedtime and forget I even have it on. I did not give it a 5 rating because it does tend to come off easily while sleeping - that being said I am a very restless sleeper so that may be more my problem than the mask.
I LOVE THIS MASK! I always had problems with my old mask. But this mask is the best ever invented. No leaks. No dekubitus. You don't even know, you wear a mask. Perfect for side-sleepers. I did not use my CPAP often in history because of the old mask. But now I use it every day. You should buy the Fit Pack, so you can try the perfect size. I use medium, although I should use Large (looking in the sizing frame and testing like written in the manual). But medium is better for me. So better try all sizes.
I have been using this exact setup (Large Frame, Medium Nose Cushion) for two years and find it very comfortable, easy to maintain, and when purchased in the KIT 1116691 very affordable. Getting the kit with your sized headgear and nose cushion is the least expensive way to order it. And you get everything that you need except the Hose (or Heated Nose), and the water reservoir. This site carries these kits for a price LOWER than my insurance deductible !!! Going to place my next order here!
Subject: my phillips nasal pillow mask
I've only been using for a few nights for the first time ever using a cpap. This one leaks a the top connection. I think it has air holes. Leaks around the nose at times. Im not sure how its supposed to fit.
Hello Lynette,
Yes, this mask has exhalation holes at the top which is why you feel air coming out the top. Please give us a call at 866-936-3754 so you can take advantage of our 30 day mask assurance policy and we can recommend a mask for you that fits better. Thank you!
This was a new mask; I was trying to use one similar to my last sleep study. The fit is amazing! Overall, my breathing has been more consistent. If I had one complaint, it would be that my nose is still 'scarring' from the pressure point. It's getting better, but I would have preferred to not have to deal with that. I suppose that's the price of trying something different than I'd used for the last 14 years.
Will probably get this style again when it becomes necessary.
