Dreamwear Replacement Face Cushion (Large)

I am convinced that the Dreamwear full face mask is the best on the market, and I have no intention of using anything else unless I absolutely have to. Prior to this, I had used a Resmed AirFit F10 and it was awful. My DME was not helpful at all during the process of selecting masks when I first got my CPAP back in 2017, and I suffered through using that F10 the entire time. It would leak no matter what I did, and I was getting awful red marks on my cheeks and bridge of my nose. When I finally replaced my CPAP machine earlier this year, I did my own research on what mask options I had and discovered that there were MANY different choices. I also discovered the OSCAR software around the same time, which was an absolute game changer for me as well. I wanted to try the Philips masks simply because of the massive difference in price between them and the Resmed options. I buy all my supplies out-of-pocket (since I never meet deductible each year) so cost was very important to me. I was also happy to find that Philips sells several of their models as "Fit Packs" that have all 3-4 sizes of mask bundled together for fitment at home. I first tried the Amara View and was not happy with it. It's similar in design to the Dreamwear, but the nose part is slightly different and I had a lot of leaks in that area. I was able to return that and try the Dreamwear fit pack and it was like the stars aligned for me this time. I am almost entirely a stomach/side sleeper and full face masks typically don't work well with this. However, due to the design of the Dreamwear, nearly all sleep positions are supported. My leak rate went WAY down, and my therapy seemed to be much more effective when using this mask. The magnetic attachment took some getting used to, but once you figure it out, taking the mask off and putting it on takes mere seconds. I have zero marks on my face anymore, and the seal is still great after months of use on the same mask. I know Philips has taken a lot of heat over the Dreamstation recall debacle (and rightly so), but they really knocked it out the park on the Dreamwear mask.

BEST THING: it is nice having a fresh replacement cushion instead of trying to keep using an old one too long. It helps the mask feel cleaner and fit better. WATCH OUT FOR: make sure you are ordering the right size and version. These parts can look similar, but the wrong cushion is basically useless.

cheap price to keep a spare

I have used this mask for 4 months now. I am torn on how to review. I love that it takes the mask pressure off the bridge of my nose. It is impossible for my to get a good seal for entire night. I tend to roll onto my side and any head movement causes mask to slide out of position. Even moving head up and down. I can see this working well for women because if I don’t shave everyday the stubble causes a poor seal also. Concept gets 5 stars but comfort and seal get 2.

The cushion fits perfectly, providing a secure seal without feeling overly tight. It's incredibly comfortable, allowing me to sleep peacefully without irritation or pressure points on my face. The material is soft and gentle against the skin, and I appreciate how easy it is to clean. This replacement cushion has significantly improved my CPAP experience, making it much easier to get a good night’s sleep.

I was initially very suspicious about ordering this replacement cushion online, worrying that I would end up with a cheap, poorly made aftermarket knockoff. I am happy to say I was completely mistaken. This is a genuine OEM product, identical to what you would get directly from a clinic for this type of mask. The real benefit here is the cost savings. Unless your health insurance covers 100% of your supplies, I would absolutely recommend buying this. I found that it is actually cheaper to buy this OEM replacement completely out of pocket than it is to go through a local medical supply store and deal with the insurance co-pays. Save yourself the markup and the hassle. This is the exact same high-quality part, it fits perfectly, and it keeps your out-of-pocket costs down.

The DreamWear Replacement Face Cushion (Large) is comfortable and fits well with the DreamWear mask. The silicone material is soft on the face and creates a good seal without feeling too tight. It sits under the nose, which helps avoid pressure or red marks on the bridge of the nose

I ordered the Dreamwear Face Cushion for my Philips Respironics Hybrid CPAP mask, because who knew sleep apnea therapy could come with such a side of style? The “Full Large Clear” version practically winks at you from the box, promising not just to cradle my face but also to elevate my nocturnal experience from “Darth Vader meets suffocation” to “gently floating on a cloud.” This cushion boasts innovative fabric technology that feels like embracing a marshmallow while simultaneously reassuring me I won’t wake up resembling a disheveled raccoon. Plus, the clear design means I can exhibit that 'no makeup' minimalist vibe even while bedridden! Update: After a few months I realized this version is not for me. If you are a side sleeper, I recommend the nasal version of this mask. After going back to the nasal version, I was able to dream once more. I hope you find this review helpful.
