super helpful video. Today is my first day ever using this stuff. Having a tough time adjusting to exhaling with it. I guess it just takes time to get used to it.
This is my first time being on CPAP & I have this mask & been using it now for less than a week. IMO it’s incredibly comfortable. I have noticed a slight pressure drop when laying on my side (I’m mainly a side sleeper) & it gets pinched against the pillow and my head. Not sure if it’s enough droppage to make a difference. But I just watched another CZcams video that shows this mask does indeed drop a little in air pressure when on your side. So far so good for me I’m getting good sleep and my sleep reports are good the next day. Will be paying attention I see if there’s an increase in API
Thanks for the vid showing more about this mask. Recently diagnosed with sleep apnea and this looked like a great choice. I wanted a full face mask but felt I'd have trouble with the hose directly hanging off the face. My CPAP setup is being shipped through UPS; so I'm excited knowing- that I may finally experience my first restful sleep in a decade.
How’s it work out? I got my machine last week. I officially gave up on it after last night because I haven’t slept for more than an hour since I’ve got it and tried using it every night. I tried this face mask on the video, a nasal pillow and a nasal cushion, I can’t sleep with any of it.
Been using this same mask and ResMed machine for over 3 weeks. Has been a life-saver...Super easy to put on and adjust for correct seal. I quickly assemble tubing, mask, Velcro for a comfortable fit, and happy face seal, first try. A few times I got the sad face, accompanied by resistance when exhaling. This has been corrected easily enough with quick strap adjustment, reposition mask, etc. However, I haven’t noticed any difference in mask position, leaks or fit that could be causing the warning. Last night, no amount of adjustment would correct the warning read out. Since I’ve not seen any difference in bad seal vs good seal other than warning light and moderate exhale resistance, I was unable to correct and eventually gave up, hoping seal would just correct as it has once or twice. Woke up several times noticing bad seal warning stayed on all night. What might cause this change? Hopefully don’t need a new mask; I wash the mask, tube and reservoir in dish washing liquid daily, vinegar/water every 3-4 days. No sign of wear to soft material so far. Thanks.
The hose attachment "quick disconnect" is not the same as the Amara View. The hose pulls off from the quick disconnect - requires a firm pull to unsnap. The Amara View- has a better disconnect fitting. Two simple clips. They should reconfigure the disconnect.
I am a new cpap user in my first week. The DreamWear Full face mask is the one that they gave me. After the first two horrible nights, I realized that I had pulled it too tight. I have been trying to loosen it up and for the first 30 minutes a night it is fine . . . until I start rolling. Once I go to my side it starts to leak. Last night I was adjusting it all night long. The worst part is the farting noise it makes as it leaks out the bottom; the sound is so loud that it wakes me up. I think what is happening is that at the lowest setting, the mask doesn't leak too bad, then once the pressure amps up, the seal breaks and the farting begins. The home health company told me to keep trying. I have a medium frame and a small mask. Do you have any suggestions?
I would at the very least try a different size. Usually on that mask a smaller size can do wonders. If you are interested in a different mask in the same style. You may want to consider the F30 from ResMed or the Amara View from Philips. Don't give up. Once you have the fit right you will be off to the races.
I'm quite in the same situation (new CPAP user, started a few weeks ago, my first mask is the Dreamwear). I'm having the same problems. My first conclusion is related to my sleeping pattern: I'm a side sleeper 100% of the time, and this mask, due to its lateral tubes flowing air from the too of the head (love this position of the tube), seems to not be a good fit for side sleepers. I'm trying several adjustments, including testing different pillows, but its not improving my experience. I'll give a try a few more days, but I already initiated to know more about other make like Amara.
Same problem with that nonsense mask. Isn’t supposed to help you sleep better? I don’t think so. I wake up so sleepy and tired after trying to adjust that stupid mask all night long. Terrible! Not working !
I like the mask but after two nights I had to resort to putting on a disposable mask under the device (I cut out a circle so the mouth and nostril area is open) It was much more comfortable bc the top of the rubber mask, which goes up against the bottom of the nose, caused a blister after two nights and my face was so chafed I felt like I had been skiing for hours w/o a mask on. Wearing the disposable mask underneath eliminated both problems and it was infinitely more comfortable against my skin. (Aqua4 was really soothing and helped the dryness on my face and lips)
I am glad that you figured out a way to help with the issue. There is a product called remzzs that helps with that skin issues from the CPAP mask as well. cpapmyway.com/store/index.php?route=product/search&search=remz
Thank you for your comment. I got a sore under my nose too. I wake up at night feeling like the area is on fire. If it bothers me one more night, I will cut it too.
I just started 2 nights ago using this mask. I too have a blister under my nose and wonder how to resolve it. By disposable mask, do you mean the same kind of masks we have been wearing for Covid? Like the hospital type masks? Thanks!
I like this mask but feel like it doesn’t give enough air flow or so I need to have doc adjust my pressure of machine. Feel like I’m suffocating with it on. My pressure is on a 4
There is a way to adjust the pressure yourself. On a Resmed cpap machine, pressing and holding 2 buttons on the front takes you into setup, where you can adjust pressure and other settings. Which is what I have done for a while. There are CZcams videos that demonstrate. Also, you could try cpaptalk.com website for advice. The people there are terrific and a big help. Good luck.
This mask doesn't work for me. Not sure if the company test them in real people. The air comes from the head down passing next to your ears, so you hear the air noise all night long. Also the piece on top of your head puts pressure on your scalp and it hurts after 2 weeks of use. Good idea, just need to test it yourself.
Do I breath through mouth or nose? When I try nose I feel like I am not getting any air When I use mouth I feel like it’s way to much and I can’t hardly exhale … Also the top piece on my head has air coming out. How does that help?
You may want to go to a more traditional style Full Face based on this feedback. The top exhalation port in just in case the front is coved up from stomach sleeping. Vitera is a great traditional style full face mask. Link below for reference. cpapmyway.com/store/cpap-masks/full-face-masks/vitera-full-face-cpap-mask
So how does this compare to the ResMed F30i full-face? They are very similar design. Also, isn’t it healthier to be a nose breather? I’ve always used nasal masks. Wouldn’t a full-face encourage some mouth breathing?
You absolutely can. All of the Home CPAPs have a 22mm connection. You do however have to make sure that the old quick connect from the previous mask is not still in the end of the tube.
I got that mask about two weeks ago, tried once but got too much pressure and can’t sleep well. I will do a second try tonight and see if will order it in the future
The RVG Fam After watched your video, what I did was to adjust the mask and tied it more, and everything start working well. I am using it everyday and most of the time I get a score of 100%. Thank you for following me on my issue. You’re the best!
Got this one a year and half ago and at 20cm/H2o have to really have it on tight to stop nose leaks, been using the airfit f20 been fighting that one for 3 years, with headgear pain, got headgear wrape for it, but for the last 3 years living with the pain I've had it, Going to try the dreamwear f/f again tonight and see if I can bear the pain under my nose the cartilage between the nostrils, and the numbness at the tip of my nose. Was fitted with a large it leaked like crazy no matter how I adjusted it. Going to use the medium tonight leaks less but is more painful. Could be my nose will get toughen up and I will be able to use to it. I hope. I'm going to try the Amara View next, have one now but it came with a small cushion, have a medium coming in 3 more days, hope it works.
I have the under the nose below the lip mw. My question is th roping @ the top of the mask = is are supposed to blow up my nose or should it close of the slot? I can’t seem to get any thing more than 55% leakage . I have very short goatee/mustache . I’ve also thrived the large + small mask w/same results..
You should be able to breathe through your nose with the DreamWear Full. So the opening under your nose should be open. You may want to give the amara view a shot. Similar fit, but a much tackier silicon. Also a very different headgear that allows for a little more of a secure fit. Link to Amara View Below. cpapmyway.com/store/cpap-masks/full-face-masks/respironics-amara-view-full-face-mask
Not really.. I’ve used both the full face and the nasal pillows version of the Dreamwear, and it will flow just as much air laying on your side. That’s the whole point of the headgear.
This is a great masks but why is it I can hear myself breathing all the time that's uncomfortable and the machine is making a little buzzing sound too what could that be could I put a towel or something around the hose
You can put a towel around the hose. You for sure should check the seal and connections though to make sure that there is not leak. Usually if you are hearing noise, there is a leak somewhere.
is this mask targeted only to patients with sleep apnoea (with otherwise healthy lungs) or also to patients with COPD or other lung diseases who need additional oxygen supply?
Hello. I have this set up and it works well for me if I am not laying on my side. If your face is sideways- it pinches off one side of the hose and I feel suffocated due to loss of air flow. Is there an optimal lower pressure to prevent keep enough air flow if one lays on the side and pinches off one side of the air hose?
Thanks for the feedback. There is not any settings change needed. However the airflow should be consistent even if one side get restricted while you sleep on your side. It should just redirect through the other tube.
We have seen it fit very well on beards. However, no matter which full face mask you use the beard does create something to overcome. I would say that it fits on beards pretty good. I have seen the Amara View create a little better seal on beards, but each face is different. That is why we have a 30 day guarantee. If it doesn't fit you well send it back and try something else.
've got the dream station with humidifier and heated tubing and have been using for months. The entire time I've been troubleshooting with my pulmonologist and the staff at the CPAP medical team here in Northern Colorado to no avail and I am in HELL. I have to the updated version of this mask because it sits just under my nostrils and covers my mouth as I have to sleep on my back and my mouth opens wide while I sleep. I have a tendency to get terrible migraines with regards to outside cranial pressure and smells. Anything at all squeezing my head triggers awful migraines, so this mask is a proper nightmare for me and I'm waking every morning with a banging migraine and am now missing work because of this crap. I also have migraines around smells. Respironics recommends cleaning the equipment with Ivory soap or baby shampoo, both of which have terrible smells that definitely contribute to my migraines. No matter how much I rinse, that horrid soapy smell is still there. Lastly, I have the humidifier set on the highest setting and have monkeyed with the heat setting. I have it at what would optimally be the best setting and still, I wake up constantly with a dry painful mouth and throat and I have to drink water many times throughout the night. Iv'e tried products that help keep oral tissues moist during just such therapies but NONE work. I am more tired now than I was before starting this nonsense. I've been sent home with a chin strap which actually makes the pain even worse and curiously my mouth is just as dry. I'm about to give up. Between the migraines, fatigue , and mouth pain -- I'm OVER it.
I am really sorry to hear that it has been such a hassle for you. It sounds like you are working with a pulmonary specialist. So I would advise you to keep the in the loop on all this and not o give up. We have had other customers in the same boat at the beginning that have been able to make things work and achieve some great success on CPAP.
Love the mask. Dr gave me new settings, my AHI is between 0 and 2. 100% seal as long as I keep my beard short. Back, side, or stomach, I love it. Thanks 😁
You will need a special adapter to use it with SoClean. The plastic liner of the tub top comes out and is replaced with a SoClean device. Be careful that you don't lose your cpap machine warranty with it. I have been told that the warranty is vitiated if you use SoClean. Check to be sure. SoClean sure looks easy. Haven't tried it for fear of ruining my warrant on the ResMed machine.
There should be air coming out of the exhalation port on the top of the frame where the tube connects as well as in the front of the mask cushion. If it is leaking somewhere other than that it may be in need of replacement. Link to the DreamWear Full below for reference. cpapmyway.com/store/cpap-masks/full-face-masks/respironics-dreamwear-full-face-mask
The newest versions of CPAP will show you all sorts of details via the App. The DreamStation and Airsense Auto provide daily reporting to your smart phone. The daily reports have great information on mask fit, AHI (apnea hypopnea index), as well as a full score of your sleep each night. Really great stuff. Basically it gives you a full update of how well you are doing on your CPAP.
Is it normal to have air leaks at the quick connect on the top? If I place my hand around the area I can definitely feel air coming out of the tube and the quick connect? And thank you for the video!
Oxygen can be added with one of our oxygen bleed-in connectors. I have a link to it below for you. Have a great day. cpapmyway.com/store/oxygen-bleed-in
The full face version is not. Best option in that realm is the Liberty from ResMed. LInk below for reference. cpapmyway.com/store/resmed-mirage-liberty-cpap-mask
My question is that I have been using a cpap for 10 years and I now have a permanent dent across my head from the top piece on the headgear. Is your mask frame easier on the scalp and not cause more damage to my skull?
I have honestly never heard of a permanent indention. That does not sound comfortable. This mask has a soft silicon frame so I don't think that would happen.
I just started using this mask but I find it a bit noisy when I am breathing. Am I doing something wrong? Also, being a side sleeper I feel like I am not getting enough air, my setting is 16.
It is usually a pretty quiet mask as long as it in not leaking. Sometimes if your exhalation is up against a pillow or something it can make it louder.
Certainly should loosen the straps. If it doesn't seal well enough after loosening then you may have to switch to another mask or mask style. Vitera is a great option for over the nose style full face CPAP Mask. cpapmyway.com/store/cpap-masks/full-face-masks/vitera-full-face-cpap-mask
If you are looking for a Full Face, then the DreamWear Full or the F30i are great options. Links to both below. cpapmyway.com/store/cpap-masks/full-face-masks/respironics-dreamwear-full-face-mask cpapmyway.com/store/cpap-masks/full-face-masks/resmed-airift-f30i-full-face-mask
That hasn't been an issue for anyone that has reported back to us so far. If you buy with us keep in mind that you get a 30 day guarantee and can exchange it for another one that you like better if this mask doesn't work out.
I just started using this tonight is night 7, I keep getting a notification from the app that says I had poor mask fit, only like one night it was good, the other night it said poor mask fit, any suggestions.
If you feel like you have adjusted the mask as much as possible to account for leaks, then I would recommend sizing down one size (which can really help), or trying another mask. The minimal contact masks are great....if they fit. But if they don't it may be best to use a traditional full face mask like the Vitera. Link below. cpapmyway.com/store/cpap-masks/full-face-masks/vitera-full-face-cpap-mask
Been on CPAP over 20 years. Bought this Dream wear last week. Cannot seem to be able to breathe well with it. I keep trying but run out of breath. Tried raising the pressure, tried lowering the pressure. Very disappointed. It has to be something I am doing as it seems well designed.
@@CPAPmyway Old style nasal. So I tried different things and cutting out one of the two exhaust baffles helped a lot. I may get used to it now. I wont give up because i like it. The problem was on exhaling.
The magnetic clips in my opinion are the worst aspect about this design. If you sleep on your side they will easily unclip. I have this design and have this problem every night. I’m an active sleeper and I find myself having to constantly clip the straps back on.
One thing that we see help people with leaks on this mask is to go down one size on the cushion size. Of course you should try to make simple adjustments to the strap as well to tighten it a bit as well.
Well, here's an idea. You research, develop, build these things and get the proper certifications and approvals and then sell it for 10 bucks or whatever it is you think they should cost. I'll buy one.
Got this about a week ago and still getting used to it. Whenever I turn my head to either side it constricts incoming air and makes noise which keeps me awake/wakes me up. Any tips or do I need a different mask to be able to sleep on my side if I want o?
If you like this style of mask but don't like the air coming down the sides I would recommend the Amara View Mask. It is a very similar fit with a more classic tubing connection point. cpapmyway.com/store/cpap-masks/full-face-masks/respironics-amara-view-full-face-mask
@@RVGFam Most CPAP machines have a "mask Fit" feature these days that will let you know if your leak is in the acceptable range. If you do not have that feature I would advise getting a therapy download rep rot from your CPAP to see if the leak is within the acceptable range. If you have a newer CPAP you should have an app available that will show you this information as well.
@@RVGFamThat is a fairly new unit. You can certainly get the data from the SD card on that unit. however you will probably need to take it to your Dr or provider to get the report details.
my mask makes farting noises on my chin area no matter what size I use. its fine if I keep my head tilted up when lying on my back, but as soon as I relax, it starts... its frustrating.
Might be time for a different model mask. Here is a link to other full face options. The Vitera is very popular. cpapmyway.com/store/cpap-masks/full-face-masks
I've tried every mask I can think of the only one that works for me is the full face mask I tried the ones that go under your nostrils I have to have my nose and mouth covered if I do I sleep very well
Cheers for this, I've been looking for "how many watts does my resmed cpap use?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Panvaryor Unexpected Preference - (should be on google have a look ) ? It is a smashing exclusive guide for discovering how to eradicating sleep apnea and snoring without the hard work. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my cousin got amazing results with it.
Honestly our feedback has varied when comparing the 2 masks side by side. There are so may different faces out there. Both fit in slightly different ways, and the tubing connection point can be a real factor for some people.
well if u like ur hose down around ur face ...at ur nose ...go with ..F30 ....i like mine with the hose at top of my head ,,,,.........so i say ...DREAMWEAR ....!!!! all the way ,,,,,,, the BEST !!!! ALSO more flex able ...then that F30 .
I've been a faithful nuance nasal pillow for years... I've tried many nasal pillow/mask of different brands including dreamwear... but the nuance seems to work best for me... would the dreamwear full face mask a better/good option? thanks in advance. :)
The Dreamwear full is made for people who breath through their mouth. If you have had good success with Nasal Pillows a full mask will be a big difference for sure. DreamWear Full is a great mask and people love it. It is certainly worth a try if you are having trouble with the Nuance.
@@CPAPmyway I appreciate your reply; i'd have to try it... the thing I notice with nuance it provides a really good seal... im not a mouth breather while sleeping.. even though is has a gel rim it sometimes hurt the rim of my nose... and I could feel I got good night sleep unlike some of the other masks I've tried...
I always say, "if it ain't broke don't fix it". So if you like and do well on the Nuance, then I am not sure that I would change anything. DreamWear is great, but I wouldn't make a change just for the sake of changing.
@@CPAPmyway i received my dreamer full face this past week and so far so good! no more nose soreness on the rim; no leakage of any sort though had to make adjustments for perfect seal.... it does leave a mark on my cheeks from the strap but this is my new favorite mask! thank you :)
I received this mask, so small of a frame it wouldn't fit a 5 year old. This is what happens when ordering blind, get it out the door and take the next order without asking questions. Not off to a good start! It wasn't purchased from the company featured in this video. RMS
I know that if you purchased from us we would exchange the mask for free for a different one in the first 30 days. I would reach out to the provider that you purchased from to see if they have a similar guarantee. I am sorry to hear that you are struggling. Let us know if we can help.
I am sorry and you are right. The DreamWear full fits a majority of people, but it sounds like you are in the small percentage that don't do well with the available sizes. Good luck. Might want to check out the AirFit F30i. Might give you an option that works better. cpapmyway.com/store/cpap-masks/full-face-masks/resmed-airift-f30i-full-face-mask
I hate it with a passion! It takes me 20 adjustments every night if I change positions..tummy sleeping? No way! And that side digs into your cheek cos it’s hard plastic...it leaks, if you tighten it,it leaves marks..and you end up with puffy eyes. I hate it!
I hate this mask! I absolutely HATE this mask. The leaks are horrible! I wake up constantly with leaks. I have horrible headaches and neckaches from this mask.
I am with you. I got interr6by the air leaking constantly during the night and I dont know how many times I have tried but it just didn't work out well!!!! Very annoying!!!
@@anitajung I also get leaks with it from the nose area. air blows up and into my eyes. I am wearing a medium...not sure if I need to go to a small or if just need to go to a different mask all together.
Going on 3 years with this mask , occasionally woke by a leak but for the most part works for me😊
Thanks for the input.

different between medium or medium wide
I like this mask but feel like it doesn’t give enough air flow or so I need to have doc adjust my pressure of machine. Feel like I’m suffocating with it on. My pressure is on a 4
That would be a question for your Dr for sure. Usually the Dr will want to see your compliance report to verify what is going on.
There is a way to adjust the pressure yourself. On a Resmed cpap machine, pressing and holding 2 buttons on the front takes you into setup, where you can adjust pressure and other settings.

Do I breath through mouth or nose?
When I try nose I feel like I am not getting any air
When I use mouth I feel like it’s way to much and I can’t hardly exhale …
Also the top piece on my head has air coming out. How does that help?
You may want to go to a more traditional style Full Face based on this feedback. The top exhalation port in just in case the front is coved up from stomach sleeping. Vitera is a great traditional style full face mask. Link below for reference.

So how does this compare to the ResMed F30i full-face? They are very similar design. Also, isn’t it healthier to be a nose breather? I’ve always used nasal masks. Wouldn’t a full-face encourage some mouth breathing?
This mask is for involuntary mouthbreaters
Leaks like all the rest.
Can you use the Dreamwear with the Resmed sense 10 heating tube or do you need to use the phillips tube
You absolutely can. All of the Home CPAPs have a 22mm connection. You do however have to make sure that the old quick connect from the previous mask is not still in the end of the tube.
I got the full face mask but am wondering how do i clean the mask it’s different please make a video on this thank you
The instructions state not to use this mask if you have a hiatal hernia. Does anyone know why?
I will do my best to find out for you.
I got that mask about two weeks ago, tried once but got too much pressure and can’t sleep well. I will do a second try tonight and see if will order it in the future
Did you try lowering your pressure?
The RVG Fam After watched your video, what I did was to adjust the mask and tied it more, and everything start working well. I am using it everyday and most of the time I get a score of 100%. Thank you for following me on my issue. You’re the best!
@@polduseri909 Awesome thanks for the tip. I get mine in the mail tomorrow. Excited to try it.
Got this one a year and half ago and at 20cm/H2o have to really have it on tight to stop nose leaks, been using the airfit f20 been fighting that one for 3 years, with headgear pain, got headgear wrape for it, but for the last 3 years living with the pain I've had it, Going to try the dreamwear f/f again tonight and see if I can bear the pain under my nose the cartilage between the nostrils, and the numbness at the tip of my nose. Was fitted with a large it leaked like crazy no matter how I adjusted it. Going to use the medium tonight leaks less but is more painful. Could be my nose will get toughen up and I will be able to use to it. I hope. I'm going to try the Amara View next, have one now but it came with a small cushion, have a medium coming in 3 more days, hope it works.
The amara-view mask is the best . It fits around your lips and under your nose and the headgear is light and leaves no marks
Glad to hear that the amara view is working so well for you. Thanks for the commentary.
Does the cushion and head gear come in XS? The small is a bit too large for me
Unfortunately not.
I have the under the nose below the lip mw. My question is th roping @ the top of the mask = is are supposed to blow up my nose or should it close of the slot? I can’t seem to get any thing more than 55% leakage . I have very short goatee/mustache . I’ve also thrived the large + small mask w/same results..
You should be able to breathe through your nose with the DreamWear Full. So the opening under your nose should be open. You may want to give the amara view a shot. Similar fit, but a much tackier silicon. Also a very different headgear that allows for a little more of a secure fit. Link to Amara View Below.
cpapmyway.com/store/cpap-masks/full-face-masks/respironics-amara-view-full-face-mask
Sux if you sleep on your side. You only get half your air
Not really.. I’ve used both the full face and the nasal pillows version of the Dreamwear, and it will flow just as much air laying on your side. That’s the whole point of the headgear.
That’s true..it moves it then air escapes and more worse if you sleep on your tummy!
i drool when i sleep is there i way i can use something with this to help im always waking up with a wet face?
You could try our somnifix strips. Link below. No promises, but it has worked for others.
cpapmyway.com/store/somnofix-mouth-strips
Thanks very helpful
Thank you.
This is a great masks but why is it I can hear myself breathing all the time that's uncomfortable and the machine is making a little buzzing sound too what could that be could I put a towel or something around the hose
You can put a towel around the hose. You for sure should check the seal and connections though to make sure that there is not leak. Usually if you are hearing noise, there is a leak somewhere.
is this mask targeted only to patients with sleep apnoea (with otherwise healthy lungs) or also to patients with COPD or other lung diseases who need additional oxygen supply?
You can certainly use this mask if you have oxygen bled in to your CPAP. We have customers doing that for sure.
Hola , donde puedo conseguirlo en EE.UU. 🇺🇸 y que medidas hay ?
Hello. I have this set up and it works well for me if I am not laying on my side. If your face is sideways- it pinches off one side of the hose and I feel suffocated due to loss of air flow. Is there an optimal lower pressure to prevent keep enough air flow if one lays on the side and pinches off one side of the air hose?
Thanks for the feedback. There is not any settings change needed. However the airflow should be consistent even if one side get restricted while you sleep on your side. It should just redirect through the other tube.
What about beards and higher pressures?
We have seen it fit very well on beards. However, no matter which full face mask you use the beard does create something to overcome. I would say that it fits on beards pretty good. I have seen the Amara View create a little better seal on beards, but each face is different. That is why we have a 30 day guarantee. If it doesn't fit you well send it back and try something else.
i have a go-tee,,,, very thick around chin area ...NO PROBLEM ..
I like to this mask. I am going to talk with my doctor to order.
've got the dream station with humidifier and heated tubing and have been using for months. The entire time I've been troubleshooting with my pulmonologist and the staff at the CPAP medical team here in Northern Colorado to no avail and I am in HELL. I have to the updated version of this mask because it sits just under my nostrils and covers my mouth as I have to sleep on my back and my mouth opens wide while I sleep. I have a tendency to get terrible migraines with regards to outside cranial pressure and smells. Anything at all squeezing my head triggers awful migraines, so this mask is a proper nightmare for me and I'm waking every morning with a banging migraine and am now missing work because of this crap. I also have migraines around smells. Respironics recommends cleaning the equipment with Ivory soap or baby shampoo, both of which have terrible smells that definitely contribute to my migraines. No matter how much I rinse, that horrid soapy smell is still there. Lastly, I have the humidifier set on the highest setting and have monkeyed with the heat setting. I have it at what would optimally be the best setting and still, I wake up constantly with a dry painful mouth and throat and I have to drink water many times throughout the night. Iv'e tried products that help keep oral tissues moist during just such therapies but NONE work. I am more tired now than I was before starting this nonsense. I've been sent home with a chin strap which actually makes the pain even worse and curiously my mouth is just as dry. I'm about to give up. Between the migraines, fatigue , and mouth pain -- I'm OVER it.
I am really sorry to hear that it has been such a hassle for you. It sounds like you are working with a pulmonary specialist. So I would advise you to keep the in the loop on all this and not o give up. We have had other customers in the same boat at the beginning that have been able to make things work and achieve some great success on CPAP.
Having trouble put it on and breathing
Love the mask. Dr gave me new settings, my AHI is between 0 and 2. 100% seal as long as I keep my beard short. Back, side, or stomach, I love it. Thanks 😁
That is great. Thanks for the input!!
I just ordered from Amazon so hope it is good.
Cool
@@CPAPmyway I got it today, tried it on a nap. it really is a dreamwear.
Are they magnetised? I have pacemaker.
Yes they are.
Can this be used with a SoClean machine?
Yes it can.
You will need a special adapter to use it with SoClean. The plastic liner of the tub top comes out and is replaced with a SoClean device. Be careful that you don't lose your cpap machine warranty with it. I have been told that the warranty is vitiated if you use SoClean. Check to be sure. SoClean sure looks easy. Haven't tried it for fear of ruining my warrant on the ResMed machine.
Bob mask leaks at elbow and Frame. If I move the hose around it will stop for a while. What can I do to not have this leak?
There should be air coming out of the exhalation port on the top of the frame where the tube connects as well as in the front of the mask cushion. If it is leaking somewhere other than that it may be in need of replacement. Link to the DreamWear Full below for reference.
cpapmyway.com/store/cpap-masks/full-face-masks/respironics-dreamwear-full-face-mask
Id like to learn what the cpap machine shows etc
The newest versions of CPAP will show you all sorts of details via the App. The DreamStation and Airsense Auto provide daily reporting to your smart phone. The daily reports have great information on mask fit, AHI (apnea hypopnea index), as well as a full score of your sleep each night. Really great stuff. Basically it gives you a full update of how well you are doing on your CPAP.
Is it normal to have air leaks at the quick connect on the top? If I place my hand around the area I can definitely feel air coming out of the tube and the quick connect?
And thank you for the video!
Yep
Mine does this also
I dont really think it’s leaking, you’re getting it mixed up with the air coming from the vent holes
I have talked to my doctor and he had sent a refural out. I want this mask
Refural, eh? Have you been losing your fur?
@@emmgeevideo 😂
You only need this if you are an open mouth sleeper. I tried it and hate it
@@emmgeevideo don’t be a bully!
Thank you
Very welcome! ;)
Can we attach oxygen connection like full face mask. If not then what’s the alternative for oxygen and Bipap for a good sleep.
Oxygen can be added with one of our oxygen bleed-in connectors. I have a link to it below for you. Have a great day.
cpapmyway.com/store/oxygen-bleed-in
Made with nasal pillows yet?
The full face version is not. Best option in that realm is the Liberty from ResMed. LInk below for reference.
cpapmyway.com/store/resmed-mirage-liberty-cpap-mask
could you use a full face mask if you drool in your sleep
Yes I do
what if I want to add oxygen pipe also...
You can add in a Bleed in Connector to help with that. The link below will show you.
cpapmyway.com/store/oxygen-bleed-in
Does this go over the chin? I have one.
The bottom portion of the mask seal should fit in between your chin and bottom lip.
My question is that I have been using a cpap for 10 years and I now have a permanent dent across my head from the top piece on the headgear. Is your mask frame easier on the scalp and not cause more damage to my skull?
I have honestly never heard of a permanent indention. That does not sound comfortable. This mask has a soft silicon frame so I don't think that would happen.
I also have one in the top of my head from the headgear
I just started using this mask but I find it a bit noisy when I am breathing. Am I doing something wrong? Also, being a side sleeper I feel like I am not getting enough air, my setting is 16.
It is usually a pretty quiet mask as long as it in not leaking. Sometimes if your exhalation is up against a pillow or something it can make it louder.
I also need this marks l am live in Qatar how to how to order this Mask
I am not sure. I am sorry.
The piece under my nose has cut my skin, what can I do to get a better fit?
Certainly should loosen the straps. If it doesn't seal well enough after loosening then you may have to switch to another mask or mask style. Vitera is a great option for over the nose style full face CPAP Mask.
cpapmyway.com/store/cpap-masks/full-face-masks/vitera-full-face-cpap-mask
I'm having trouble
I've had to put tissue in one of the vents to stop the loud noise and whistling
That’s no good. Make sure you don’t cover any exhalation ports.
What mask would you recommend for side sleepers
If you are looking for a Full Face, then the DreamWear Full or the F30i are great options. Links to both below.

Do you need to use the phillips tube or can you use the heated tube?
You can use any standard sized CPAP tube. Which most are a standard size, unless you are dealing with one of the travel CPAPs.
more & cool air flows through Amara view than dream wear even they are similar style
Thanks for the input.
What is difference between full face and nose only mask in what they will do for you when you sleep.
Full face are for people who sleep with their mouth open
I get a lot of leakage sleeping on my side slightly on my stomach.
Thanks for the input.
Does it hurt the bottom of the nose? I had similar one I get a bad sore nose bridge and I have tried a lot of masks
That hasn't been an issue for anyone that has reported back to us so far. If you buy with us keep in mind that you get a 30 day guarantee and can exchange it for another one that you like better if this mask doesn't work out.
no it's nowhere near the bridge, sits underneath, great mask
I just started using this tonight is night 7, I keep getting a notification from the app that says I had poor mask fit, only like one night it was good, the other night it said poor mask fit, any suggestions.
If you feel like you have adjusted the mask as much as possible to account for leaks, then I would recommend sizing down one size (which can really help), or trying another mask. The minimal contact masks are great....if they fit. But if they don't it may be best to use a traditional full face mask like the Vitera. Link below.
cpapmyway.com/store/cpap-masks/full-face-masks/vitera-full-face-cpap-mask
@@CPAPmyway Will do, thanks for responding.
Been on CPAP over 20 years. Bought this Dream wear last week. Cannot seem to be able to breathe well with it. I keep trying but run out of breath. Tried raising the pressure, tried lowering the pressure. Very disappointed. It has to be something I am doing as it seems well designed.
Sometimes a mask that works great for others doesn't work for you. What mask were you using previously?
@@CPAPmyway Old style nasal. So I tried different things and cutting out one of the two exhaust baffles helped a lot. I may get used to it now. I wont give up because i like it. The problem was on exhaling.
@@tomthumb5445 I understand. Good Luck!!
Does it fit in the Soclean machine
Yes it does. Very well because of the flexible frame.
What if I haven't shaved in a few days? Does that affect the mask leaking?
It certainly can. The more facial hair you have the higher chance you have for leaks in most cases.
@@CPAPmyway Thank you
@@davidguerra6767 You are welcome.
The magnetic clips in my opinion are the worst aspect about this design. If you sleep on your side they will easily unclip. I have this design and have this problem every night. I’m an active sleeper and I find myself having to constantly clip the straps back on.
What is price in Pakistan
I apologize. I would have not idea.
Any suggestion if someone has this mask and it has a small leak at the nostril where it flares out? or any part of the mask
One thing that we see help people with leaks on this mask is to go down one size on the cushion size. Of course you should try to make simple adjustments to the strap as well to tighten it a bit as well.
Where are you based in South Africa I am on the market to buy your product
I am sorry, but we are only in the U.S. Thanks for reaching out though.
You might be able to order the supplies via Amazon.
With this mask in the video are you able to breath thrue your nose while you have it on
Yes I can. No Problem at all.
All good but why are cpap masks so expensive smh .
Well, here's an idea. You research, develop, build these things and get the proper certifications and approvals and then sell it for 10 bucks or whatever it is you think they should cost. I'll buy one.
@@karlajensen3708 ok lol
@@LoveLife-wy8gt you might want to check out the price on Amazon it is pretty reasonable for replacement parts.
@@joez3706 thank you !
Got this about a week ago and still getting used to it. Whenever I turn my head to either side it constricts incoming air and makes noise which keeps me awake/wakes me up. Any tips or do I need a different mask to be able to sleep on my side if I want o?
If you like this style of mask but don't like the air coming down the sides I would recommend the Amara View Mask. It is a very similar fit with a more classic tubing connection point. cpapmyway.com/store/cpap-masks/full-face-masks/respironics-amara-view-full-face-mask
@@CPAPmyway Will this mask still be effective even if a little air comes out the sides?
@@RVGFam Most CPAP machines have a "mask Fit" feature these days that will let you know if your leak is in the acceptable range. If you do not have that feature I would advise getting a therapy download rep rot from your CPAP to see if the leak is within the acceptable range. If you have a newer CPAP you should have an app available that will show you this information as well.
@@CPAPmyway I believe the CPAP i'm using is the devilbiss intellipap. Is this one considered new?
@@RVGFamThat is a fairly new unit. You can certainly get the data from the SD card on that unit. however you will probably need to take it to your Dr or provider to get the report details.
my mask makes farting noises on my chin area no matter what size I use. its fine if I keep my head tilted up when lying on my back, but as soon as I relax, it starts... its frustrating.
Might be time for a different model mask. Here is a link to other full face options. The Vitera is very popular.

I have the large mask ,I just need the complete head gear
Here is a link to that item below.

I've tried every mask I can think of the only one that works for me is the full face mask I tried the ones that go under your nostrils I have to have my nose and mouth covered if I do I sleep very well
Thanks for the input.
I certainly hope the end of that pipe has a filter on it.
The last thing you want to be breathing in is dust and small insects
The CPAP has a filter.
So dose air come out this is my first time
You will have air coming out of the exhalation port on the front and top of the mask.
I got the same mask just asking
Why is my cpap making like there air coming out of it
HOW DO YOU CLEAN THE MASK??
Cheers for this, I've been looking for "how many watts does my resmed cpap use?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Panvaryor Unexpected Preference - (should be on google have a look ) ? It is a smashing exclusive guide for discovering how to eradicating sleep apnea and snoring without the hard work. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my cousin got amazing results with it.
how do you or anyone feel about this compared to the new F30 full face or the amara view?
Honestly our feedback has varied when comparing the 2 masks side by side. There are so may different faces out there. Both fit in slightly different ways, and the tubing connection point can be a real factor for some people.
well if u like ur hose down around ur face ...at ur nose ...go with ..F30 ....i like mine with the hose at top of my head ,,,,.........so i say ...DREAMWEAR ....!!!! all the way ,,,,,,, the BEST !!!! ALSO more flex able ...then that F30 .
outstanding mask. Very good.
Is this dream
This is the DreamWear Full Face CPAP Mask.
I've been a faithful nuance nasal pillow for years... I've tried many nasal pillow/mask of different brands including dreamwear... but the nuance seems to work best for me... would the dreamwear full face mask a better/good option? thanks in advance. :)
The Dreamwear full is made for people who breath through their mouth. If you have had good success with Nasal Pillows a full mask will be a big difference for sure. DreamWear Full is a great mask and people love it. It is certainly worth a try if you are having trouble with the Nuance.
@@CPAPmyway I appreciate your reply; i'd have to try it... the thing I notice with nuance it provides a really good seal... im not a mouth breather while sleeping.. even though is has a gel rim it sometimes hurt the rim of my nose... and I could feel I got good night sleep unlike some of the other masks I've tried...
I always say, "if it ain't broke don't fix it". So if you like and do well on the Nuance, then I am not sure that I would change anything. DreamWear is great, but I wouldn't make a change just for the sake of changing.
@@CPAPmyway i received my dreamer full face this past week and so far so good! no more nose soreness on the rim; no leakage of any sort though had to make adjustments for perfect seal.... it does leave a mark on my cheeks from the strap but this is my new favorite mask! thank you :)
@@CPAPmyway update: it only worked for a week; issues with seal/leakage; went back to nuance... but this week i've ordered the airfit F10
Link your lips, stick them together.
I wish they made a mouth with nose pillows and mouth only no nose attachments.
They actually do make both. The Liberty from ResMed is mouth with nose pillows, and the Oracle from Fisher and Paykel is a mouth only mask.
Here is the Liberty. Ill get you the Oracle a little later on.
cpapmyway.com/store/resmed-mirage-liberty-cpap-mask
Here is the Oracle.
cpapmyway.com/store/oracle-oral-cpap-mask
It looks like air would escape under the nose piece. That would drive me crazy.
I thought the same thing when I first took a look at this mask. But it really does seal very well. Certainly worth a closer look and maybe even a try.
I received this mask, so small of a frame it wouldn't fit a 5 year old. This is what happens when ordering blind, get it out the door and take the next order without asking questions. Not off to a good start!
It wasn't purchased from the company featured in this video. RMS
I know that if you purchased from us we would exchange the mask for free for a different one in the first 30 days. I would reach out to the provider that you purchased from to see if they have a similar guarantee. I am sorry to hear that you are struggling. Let us know if we can help.
BS on the magnets.....still have to push them in to snap....not as easy as you say
If you sleep on your side the frame is crushed by your head.
The opposite side will still supply air.
Wish they had a Large/Wide. They only have a Medium/Wide. Have a prominent nose with large nostrils.
I am sorry and you are right. The DreamWear full fits a majority of people, but it sounds like you are in the small percentage that don't do well with the available sizes. Good luck. Might want to check out the AirFit F30i. Might give you an option that works better.
