Innovative design causes less redness, discomfort and irritation on the face, nose and nostrils.3
Our most minimal design – cushion rests under your nose, not on it.4
Using the full face sizing gauge (included with the mask or download at the link above), hold horizontally under the nose and select the cushion size based on where the outer edge of your nostrils and tip of your nose contact the gauge.
Note: Four cushion sizes (small, medium, large, medium-wide) are available.
Philips always recommends consulting a sleep or respiratory therapist in fitting a mask to ensure a proper size and fit.
The cushion opening will be directly under the nostrils. The cushion will hug the nose and mouth, and leak will be minimal.
Note: At no time should the nose be inside of the cushion opening. If any part of the cushion overlaps the nose, the cushion is being worn incorrectly. A different size cushion may be needed.
With the mask assembled, place the cushion under the nose.
See Assembly instructional video above.
To adjust the mask, peel the headgear tabs away from the fabric. Adjust the length of the top straps. Press the tabs back against the fabric to reattach. Repeat this step with the bottom straps.
Note: Do not overtighten the headgear.
Full face masks let you breathe with your mouth open while you sleep.
Nasal cradle masks have cushions that rest below the nose, not on it, to eliminate contact with the bridge of your nose.
If you remove the headgear, cushion and swivel, the frame is essentially one tube. This can be cleaned the same way the short tubing on other masks or the longer CPAP tubing is cleaned. Wash with warm soapy water, it can be rinsed through the swivel connection as well. Set to dry and if there happens to be any remaining moisture in the tube before therapy is started, connecting it to the CPAP with pressure can help to remove this.
The mask may also be cleaned in the dishwasher once a week. The non-fabric parts can be washed on the top shelf of the dishwasher and air dried. Please refer to the instructions manual that came with the mask.
DreamWear Full Face cushions come in four sizes: small, medium, large, and medium-wide. The full face cushion, while covering both the nose and mouth, is sized based on the nasal opening, just like the under-the- nose cushions. The nasal opening is the exact same design and shape as the DreamWear under the nose cushion which means, there is a direct correlation between DreamWear full face and DreamWear under-the-nose sizing – a medium in the full face is a medium in the nasal, etc. However, the DreamWear full face nasal opening is a different design and shape than the Amara View opening and the two masks size differently.
Therefore, there is not a direct correlation between DreamWear full face and Amara View.
The sizing gauge is a guideline to indicate which cushion to start with. However, it is only a guideline and will never be 100% accurate. It is always best to start with the size suggested by the gauge but then fit for comfort if another cushion and frame size combination works better for you.
