3. Reimbursement decisions and timing are always dependent on your insurance provider.
Replacing your equipment is an important part of being successful with your sleep therapy. Because masks are disposable, periodic replacement is needed when the mask shows signs of wear and tear.
Mask comfort is a crucial factor behind nonadherence
Do not overtighten your mask to compensate for wear and tear. Overtightening causes discomfort which results in nonadherence.
Insurance coverage exists
Your supplies are covered by Insurance, Medicare and Medicaid as long as physician determines that you require PAP therapy.
When should you replace your mask?
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 & / or cushion size.
Additionally, we have also launched an updated slip resistant headgear with arms which may improve mask seal & overall stability.
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.
You can also watch the “how to size & assemble the mask” video on YouTube.

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.
