Respironics DreamWear Nasal Cushion (Medium Wide)

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.

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 been wondering how to rate this mask. The quality is great, but the style is not for me. Product gets 5 stars....efficacy gets 0 stars. When you use a mask that covers your mouth and nose, there is equal air pressure whether your mouth is open or closed. With a nose pillow, when your mouth is open, the air rushes in your nose and blasts out of your mouth. It's as if the air pressure is literally forcing your mouth open. I don't know how people can endure the flow as my mouth and throat were dry within minutes. It's a fail for me.

I don't always rest well on my back. The CPAP system that uses this nasal cushion allows me to sleep in what ever way I find most comfortable, which is often on my stomach. It's not great, but it is be best I have found as of this date.

I took a chance on the Medium Wide cushion, afraid it would be too big and sloppy on my face, but it actually fits me perfectly and is by far the most comfortable mask cushion out of the many I've tried with Dreamwear, AirFit, and Nuance. It has become my reliable friend due to the comfy fit and the single wide opening for my nostrils; it feels easier to breathe through without shifting off center like the other cushions with two separate holes, and the curve fits below my nose without pinching the sides like some of the other models. I wear it pretty snug but not tight and have had minimal leaks. I'm thrilled to wake up and realize I can barely tell I have a CPAP mask on.

The part fitted into place without any problems.

Finally found a great cpap mask!! I had to try them all to find one that worked well and that felt comfortable. I’m claustrophobic so this has been a 3 month journey. Many of the masks were causing the bridge of my nose to be very sore and irritated. I was getting used to the Resmed air touch 20 w/ memory foam mask which I will use again when I have a stuffy nose. But this Phillips nasal pillow attachment is the most comfortable of everything I’ve tried. Had to train myself to keep my mouth closed while I sleep and finally got the cpap pressure down to 8 so it didn’t blow my mouth open. But now I’m set and it’s working great. Highly recommend.

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!

Its a great product.

The product is for my CPAP

Make sound during using...something is wrong

All good, Item as described.

My husband was unable to use this with his cpap machine due to his facial hair, has a moustache. This prevents the nasal mask fitting well so it was either revert to his previous full nasal mask or remove his moustache 😱 Needless to say which won, we will keep the under nose adapter just in case his facial hair does ever go however if it had given an indication in the description this could be an issue we would not have purchased it.
