Philips DreamWear Silicone Nasal Pillow CPAP Mask

I’ve been a long time user of Phillips Respironics masks and in particular the nasal cushion DreamWear. Recently however, I decided I wanted to give nasal pillows a try instead, since cushions are a little obtrusive. I was happy to discover there was a DreamWear nasal pillow variant and so I ordered it. After a few weeks now of using this mask, I have nothing but good things to say about it.

Pillow: As mentioned, I purchased this mask because I wanted to give nasal pillows a try. I was a little worried how they wouudl feel compared to the cushions I was used to but so far it’s great. It sits firmly “in”� my nose without being painful or irritating. I’m able to get a good seal and so I haven’t had any leakage issues. I ordered the package with all 4 pillow sizes which I think is a good idea for anyone, even if you think you know your size already.

Headgear: The design was relatively new to me since it’s kind of like eye glasses where it sits above the ears. Admittedly, the first night I had with it, it was a little uncomfortable because the part above the ears is naked silicon. I found out however that the box came with cushions to wrap around them and after I put those on, it felt much much better. Overall the frame sits well on my head and I was able to adjust it easily.

Other notes: I’ve been a long time user of DreamWear masks because of the dual tube design. It makes side sleeping very comfortable and I’ve had no issues sleeping on my side with this mask either. Don’t worry about compressing one tube when you lie on one side, as the other tube will deliver plenty of air. Swiveling connector on the top of the head is great too, it’s allowed me to keep the tube completely off my body.

Overall, the DreamWear nasal pillow version lives up to the high standards set by the DreamWear line. I like the new design and have no qualms about making this my new primary mask going forward.

Out of the nasal based masks that I've used, this has been the best thus far. The nose pillows helps a lot to keep the air flow centered. I'm a side sleeper so this type of mask is my only true option.

One night with this new headgear caused my head to be sore for over 2 weeks!! I was sent this new mask in place of their old version. Seemed ok till I started using it. There is a raised area where the new hard plastic extenders connect to the headgear about the size of a dime. One night while sleeping on my side, that raised area pressed into the side of my head. In the morning, it felt like my head was in a one-sided vise! My pillow is firm, but this pain was unprecedented and long lasting. My head was very sore in that area for at least two weeks, and still is sore to the touch for a while. It was like sleeping with a rock against the side of my head. What were they thinking when they changed their design? Obviously, they didn't test it out very thoroughly with side sleepers. And I'm told that the old headgear is not being made anymore. I'll be looking for a new company to get my cpap equipment, if they don't wise up and go back to the original. Thanks for nothing.

I think I still like the older discontinued pillows model better, but I have adjusted and no other nasal mask is even close in comfort or seal.

Subject: A little tight
This mask does its job but I'm afraid it's a little tight. I tried to adjust it but I can't adjust it further.

Looks great. Unfortunately this is something I need ASAP. I selected 2 day shipping but in reality it is going to take over 5 days to get to my house. Very disappointing. Should update the website to reflect realistic delivery times. These are medical items and are needed. I would have bought elsewhere if I had know but it has already shipped.

I am so sorry to hear that shipping will take longer then was promised by the shipping company. With Covid demands it is proving very difficult to predict shipping times and in most cases they arrive on time. Please give us a call at 866 -936-3754 and we can help you with this issue.

Subject: Hard to breathe
I just started using a CPAP and have been trying out different masks. This mask in particular I found hard to breathe in, I was almost gasping for air after 10-20 minutes of use. It's hard to exhale and that's even when adjusting the EPR. So far I have found that I am more comfortable wearing a full face mask.

Subject: Dreamwear nasal pillows
I have been using for years the original gel pillows then the switch to silicone but the latest version the pillows are nearly flat and don’t seal well and restrict air flow and we hate them why they had to ruin a great product.

I am sorry this did not work the way you intended. Please call our office and we will help with your next step. Thank you
