Using the nasal cushion sizing gauge (included with the mask or download at the link above), hold it horizontally under the nose. Select the cushion size based on where the outer edge of the nostrils and tip of the 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 leak will be minimal.
Note: At no time should the nose be inside the cushion opening. If any part of the cushion overlaps the nose, the cushion is being worn incorrectly.
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 straps length. Press the tabs back against the fabric to reattach.
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.
For easy orientation note the L & R symbol on the arms. Loop the tab with the L symbol through the left side loop on the frame and R on the right side. Once correctly assembled the L&R symbols will face outwards, DreamWear logo on the fabric will be on the right & Philips Respironics logo will be on the back of the headgear.

DreamWear nasal comes in 3 frames & 4 cushion sizes. If you are experiencing leaks with the mask, contact your local homecare provider to try a smaller frame and/or cushion size.
Additionally, we have also launched an updated slip resistant headgear with arms which may improve mask seal & overall stability.
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.
Philips Respironics now offers Mask Selector 3D and 2D tools. Philips Respironics Mask Selector is rooted in science and data:
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.
