You'll select both your frame size and your cushion size before adding to cart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot sure of your cushion size, or buying the Full Face for the first time? The \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/canadiancpapstore.com\/products\/dreamwear-full-face-mask-with-small-and-medium-frame-kit?utm_source=copyToPasteBoard\u0026amp;utm_medium=product-links\u0026amp;utm_content=web\"\u003eDreamWear Full Face FitPack\u003c\/a\u003e includes all four cushion sizes so you can find your fit at home before committing to one. Because the Full Face cushion must seal at two contact zones — not one — getting the size right before reordering matters more here than it does with the Nasal version.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat makes the DreamWear Full Face different from a traditional full face mask\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost patients who arrive at this page are expecting something like an AirFit F20 or a DreamWear F — a mask that wraps in a triangular seal from the nasal bridge, down both sides of the nose, across the upper lip, and around the chin. The DreamWear Full Face is not that mask. It belongs to a different mechanical category.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DreamWear Full Face is an under-the-nose full face mask. The cushion sits beneath the nose — in the same location as the DreamWear Nasal cushion — and never contacts the nasal bridge, the top of the nose, or the sides of the nose. There is no forehead pad. There is no forehead stabilizer. There is no hose at the front of the face. What makes it a full face mask is that the cushion extends downward from the nasal base to also cover the mouth, forming a sealed enclosure that delivers therapy air to both the nose and the mouth simultaneously.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOfficially, it is classified as a Full Face \/ Hybrid \/ Cradle type: functionally a full face mask in terms of what it covers, mechanically a cradle design in terms of where it contacts the face.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you breathe through your nose only and have no chronic congestion, the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/canadiancpapstore.com\/products\/dreamwear-under-the-nose-mask-with-headgear\"\u003eDreamWear Nasal mask\u003c\/a\u003e is likely the more appropriate choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow the Full Face cushion seals — two contact zones, not one\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DreamWear Nasal cushion has one sealing zone: the base of the nostrils. The Full Face cushion has two.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first zone is identical to the Nasal: the cushion seats beneath the nostrils and delivers therapy air upward into both nasal passages without inserting into the nose and without touching the nasal bridge. This is the same under-the-nose geometry, at the same location on the face, with the same absence of contact at the top of the nose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe second zone extends downward from the nasal base across the upper lip and around the mouth, forming a sealed enclosure over the oral opening. Air delivered through the frame reaches both the nostrils and the enclosed mouth cavity. The mouth need not be closed for therapy to work — the seal contains whatever the patient breathes through.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat is absent is equally important to understand. Because the cushion sits entirely below the nose, there is no contact at the nasal bridge — the zone where traditional full face masks create the most pressure, redness, and long-term soreness. The field of view above and to the sides of the face is completely unobstructed. There is no silicone crossing the nose from any direction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExhalation ports are built into both the cushion and the swivel elbow at the crown of the head. Exhaled air disperses upward from the top of the head rather than forward toward a bed partner, which is a consequence of where the hose connection sits, not just where the ports are placed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow airflow moves through the mask\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe frame routing is the same as the DreamWear Nasal. Therapy air enters through the 360° swivel elbow at the crown of the head, splits into two silicone channels running down through the frame arms on either side of the face, and meets at the cushion beneath the nose. The frame carries the air — there is no external hose at the front of the face, no rigid housing bridging the nose, and nothing between the patient's eyes and whatever they're looking at.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen you're sleeping on your back, pressure distributes through both channels equally. When you roll to your side, the lower frame arm compresses under the weight of the frame and redirects therapy air through the upper, open arm without interrupting the seal or requiring any adjustment. This is the same positional tolerance mechanism as the Nasal version — it is a function of the frame geometry, not of how firmly the headgear is tightened.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat changes between the Nasal and Full Face versions is what happens at the cushion. Where the Nasal cushion delivers air only upward into the nostrils, the Full Face cushion delivers air into both the nasal passages and the enclosed oral space. The frame delivering that air is the same frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho needs a full face mask — and who should use the nasal version instead\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA full face mask is indicated when therapy air cannot be reliably delivered through the nose alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe most common reason is mouth breathing during sleep. Approximately 50–60% of people with sleep apnea breathe through their mouth at least some of the time during sleep. When a patient on a nasal mask opens their mouth, pressure escapes through the oral opening and therapy fails — often without the patient waking up enough to notice. A full face mask encloses the mouth as part of the seal, so therapy continues regardless of whether the patient breathes through the nose, the mouth, or both.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChronic nasal obstruction is the second major driver. Patients with year-round allergies, chronic sinusitis, a deviated septum, or nasal polyps may find that nasal-only delivery becomes unreliable whenever congestion is high. The Full Face cushion allows therapy to continue through whichever airway is open on a given night.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHigher prescribed therapy pressures increase the likelihood of mouth opening during sleep. Patients titrated to roughly 12 cm H₂O or above are more frequently prescribed full face masks because the positive pressure in the airway creates an uncomfortable sensation in some patients that triggers reflexive mouth opening. If you've been prescribed a higher pressure and are finding your nasal mask insufficient, that is a conversation worth having with your prescriber before changing mask types on your own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you breathe through your nose only, have no chronic congestion, and are not prescribed a high therapy pressure, the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/canadiancpapstore.com\/products\/dreamwear-under-the-nose-mask-with-headgear\"\u003eDreamWear Nasal mask\u003c\/a\u003e will provide a less intrusive seal with a smaller cushion footprint. The Full Face is not a better version of the Nasal — it is a different clinical tool for a different airway situation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSizing: frame size and cushion size are independent\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DreamWear system has two separate sizing dimensions, and this listing requires you to specify both. Frame size governs the physical fit of the silicone tube frame against your face — the length of the arms, the width of the frame, and where the headgear attaches. Cushion size governs whether the under-the-nose seal seats cleanly at both contact zones without lifting, pressing into the nostrils, or leaving gaps at the sides or around the mouth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese dimensions do not predict each other. A Large frame does not mean a Large cushion. It is entirely common to combine a Large frame with a Small cushion, or a Small frame with a Medium Wide cushion. If a clinic fitting or a prior FitPack trial gave you a specific combination — for example, \"Medium frame, Medium Wide cushion\" — that is what you select here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Medium frame fits approximately 95% of patients in our experience. If you're unsure of your frame size, Medium is the appropriate starting assumption.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCushion sizing for the Full Face is more involved than for the Nasal version. The Nasal cushion seals at one zone — the nostril base — and sizing is determined primarily by the width and height of the nostrils. The Full Face cushion must seal at two zones, and the fit at the mouth perimeter adds a second variable. The nose measurement remains the primary determinant, but fit at the lower seal matters too — a cushion that fits the nose correctly can still allow leaks at the mouth perimeter if the size isn't right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're ordering the Full Face for the first time and haven't been fitted, the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/canadiancpapstore.com\/products\/dreamwear-full-face-mask-with-small-and-medium-frame-kit?utm_source=copyToPasteBoard\u0026amp;utm_medium=product-links\u0026amp;utm_content=web\"\u003eDreamWear Full Face FitPack\u003c\/a\u003e is the appropriate starting point. Philips provides a sizing guide specific to the Full Face cushion, which can be downloaded from this page. Because our return policy does not allow returns on opened mask products, taking the time to confirm your cushion size before ordering is worth the effort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Medium Wide actually means\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMedium Wide is not a size between Medium and Large. It is a width variant — a cushion with a wider horizontal opening designed for patients whose nose and mouth seal perimeter is wider than the standard Medium accommodates, but whose nose height does not require Large.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe failure mode that points to Medium Wide is not upward pressure on the nostrils or lifting at the nasal bridge. It is small gaps at the sides of the seal — at the edges of the nasal base or the sides of the mouth enclosure — while the vertical fit of the cushion is otherwise correct. A patient who finds that the Medium cushion seals adequately at the top of the mouth opening but leaves small lateral gaps is typically the patient for whom Medium Wide is the right choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you've confirmed Medium Wide through FitPack trialing or a clinic fitting, it will not look dramatically different from Medium. It is a slightly wider cushion, not a larger one in the sense of covering more of the face.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHeadgear, magnetic clips, and hose attachment\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Full Face headgear uses magnetic clips rather than the tab-and-slot attachment of the DreamWear Nasal headgear. The clips allow the headgear to be removed and reattached without threading anything — the mask comes off and goes back on as a unit. The headgear strap rests at the back of the head with semi-rigid arms extending forward to hold the frame in position. As with the Nasal version, the arms are designed to stabilize the frame through geometry rather than through strap tension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe hose elbow at the top of the head swivels 360 degrees. This means the hose can disconnect from the elbow without removing the headgear — relevant for patients who need to get up in the night without fully removing the mask. It also means the hose follows the patient's head through position changes rather than dragging against the pillow, which reduces the lever-arm force that can pull the cushion off-seal during movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAirMini compatibility — adapter required\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DreamWear Full Face is compatible with the ResMed AirMini travel CPAP machine, but requires a separate adapter. It is not plug-and-play with the AirMini using standard tubing. If you use an AirMini as your primary or travel machine, confirm that you have the appropriate DreamWear-to-AirMini adapter before ordering this mask.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mask is compatible with all other standard CPAP and BiPAP machines without any adapter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eReplacement schedule\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Full Face cushion should be replaced every one to three months. This is more frequent than the DreamWear Nasal cushion because the Full Face seal geometry is more complex — the cushion contacts the face at two zones rather than one, and the mouth seal area experiences more movement during sleep than the nasal-only seal. A cushion that has softened or lost its shape will show up as leaks at the mouth perimeter before it shows up at the nasal base. If you're waking with leak events or your therapy data is showing increased leaks, the cushion is the first thing to replace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeadgear replacement is recommended every six months. The frame should be replaced every six months or when the silicone tube arms lose their flexibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's in the box\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach kit includes the DreamWear Full Face frame in your selected size, the Full Face cushion in your selected size, the headgear with magnetic clips, the top-of-head swivel elbow, fabric wraps for the frame arms, and the user manual.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe frame, cushion, headgear, and elbow are each available separately as replacement parts. The cushion and frame use the same clip-in connection point across all three frame sizes — a Small cushion fits a Large frame, and a Medium cushion fits a Small frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"556\" height=\"310\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/oCrtE_L3uXI\" title=\"DreamWear Full Face | Intro video | Philips\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/6353\/6003\/files\/DreamWear_Full_face_User_Guide.pdf?v=1721870952\" title=\"Download DreamWear User Guide\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eDownload DreamWear User Guide\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/6353\/6003\/files\/dreamwearfitting_guide.pdf?v=1721870945\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDream Wear Fitting Guide\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Philips Respironics","offers":[{"title":"Small \/ Small","offer_id":44609282343043,"sku":"1133385","price":215.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Small \/ Medium","offer_id":44609282375811,"sku":"1133386","price":215.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Small \/ Large","offer_id":44609282408579,"sku":"1133387","price":215.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Small \/ Medium-Wide","offer_id":44609282441347,"sku":"1133388","price":215.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Medium \/ Small","offer_id":47129921912963,"sku":"1133380","price":215.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Medium \/ Medium","offer_id":47129921945731,"sku":"1133381","price":215.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Medium \/ Large","offer_id":47129921978499,"sku":"1133382","price":215.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Medium \/ Medium-Wide","offer_id":47129922011267,"sku":"1133383","price":215.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large \/ Small","offer_id":47129922044035,"sku":"1133390","price":215.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large \/ Medium","offer_id":47129922076803,"sku":"1133391","price":215.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large \/ Large","offer_id":47129922109571,"sku":"1133392","price":215.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large \/ Medium-Wide","offer_id":47129922142339,"sku":"1133393","price":215.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/6353\/6003\/files\/1133375_photo1.jpg?v=1720029877","url":"https:\/\/canadiancpapstore.com\/products\/dreamwear-full-face-mask-with-headgear","provider":"Canadian CPAP Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
