Philips Respironics DreamWear Nasal Cushion (Medium Wide)

I'm new to CPAP and have tried many different full face masks, nasal cushions and nasal pillows. I'm a big guy with a large head and a beard, so it has been challenging to find a good fit. And I also sleep primarily on my side or on my stomach with my head turned out, so that makes it challenging to find something that doesn't leak when you press into the pillow. But so far, this works great..I'm grateful for Amazon and CPAPSupply. Although my insurance covers my supplies, it only covers one mask, and then I can replace it after a month. But the mask provided by my oxygen provider was not working for me. So through Amazon, I was able to try a bunch of different masks relatively cheaply. Waaaay cheaper than the online CPAP shops.According to the Phillips fitting guide, I should be a medium in this mask. But I could not get comfortable with the medium. I felt like the opening under the nose was not wide enough. It didn't extend much over both of my nostrils, and I felt a bit starved for air. And I would often get this "flapping sensation" from the mask in my nose, presumably from the mask's membrane flapping? I don't know. Also, it would chafe the area under my nose (though I realize chafing is normal with nasal pillows/cushions). So I thought I'd try the wide version. I'm glad I did. It is more comfortable, and I feel like I'm getting adequate oxygen. I have slept through the night pretty well for a few nights now. And so far with this size, there has been no chafing.I only knocked it one star because it's a bit louder than others that I have tried. My breathing is louder, and I feel like that wakes me at times, but I will get used to it. Also, when laying on my side, I can hear the air blowing through the frame as well, depending on how my pillow is. But it is worth it for the comfort compared to other full face masks or nasal pillows where the pillows actually goes up into your nostrils. I highly recommend it.

I have bought two of these over the years and I love them! I received this on-time and in good condition and have been pleased by how long the material actually lasts and works great with my Philips Dream Machine set up. I'll continue to buy them from this vendor because it's cheaper than many other CPAP stores.

Fits great, very comfortable.

I have used these for years now. Once I found out they come in a wide version, I had fewer issues. I have a larger nose and the wide width helps me to breathe better. This particular one whistled at the small hole that lets air out. I made the hole larger by forcing a pen through it and leaving it in there all day. That prevented it from whistling any more so I gave it four stars.

I love these. I tried two sizes to get the right fit, but they are far less expensive so that extra cost was "no big deal". No more marks on the bridge of my nose. So much more comfortable than the other kind.

Good nasal pillows

The Dream Wear Nasal Pillow is GREAT. I’ve been using CPAP since being diagnosed with moderate OSA in July of 18. I’ve had great results with my Resmed Airsense 10 with a Resmed Full Face Mask. However, since discovering the Phillips Respironics {PR} Head Frame and top of head hose placement I’ve begun to experiment. It’s also worth noting that the newest PR masks work with the same head frame! First I tried the PR Full Face Mask. Again I had a great experience without the burden of having my nose covered by the mask. No leaks, comfortable, low profile. Next I tried the PR Nasal Pilliw Mask. WOW! This may be my new favorite! The pillow rests below the nose. No leaks, comfortable, low profile. If you’re a mouth breather this mask won’t work for you unfortunately, that is unless you can train yourself to keep your mouth closed while sleeping. All of the PR masks are very affordable, interchangeable and available on Amazon. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE PR FULL FACE AND NASAL PILLOW MASKS! I now have three great options for CPAP masks!

When your life depends on a Cpap machine, you want every part of the system to perform it' s function. This is a vital part of that system.
