DreamWear Nasal CPAP Mask with Headgear

DreamWear Nasal Mask with Headgear — For Patients Who Know Their Size

This listing is for patients who already know their DreamWear frame size and cushion size — returning users reordering a known combination, patients who were fitted at a CPAP clinic, or patients who identified their size from the FitPack and are now replacing a worn cushion. You'll select both your frame size and your cushion size before adding to cart.

Not sure of your size, or trying DreamWear for the first time? The DreamWear FitPack includes all four cushion sizes with a Medium frame — which fits about 95% of patients in our experience — so you can find your fit before committing to one.

FRAME SIZE AND CUSHION SIZE ARE INDEPENDENT — SELECT BOTH CAREFULLY

The DreamWear system has two separate sizing dimensions, and this listing requires you to specify both. Frame size (Small, Medium, Large) is determined by overall face length and head width — it governs the physical fit of the silicone tube frame against your face and where the headgear arms rest. Cushion size (Small, Medium, Large, Medium Wide) is determined by the width and height of your nostril base — it governs whether the under-the-nose seal seats cleanly without pressing upward into the nose or leaving gaps at the sides.

These dimensions do not predict each other. Choosing a Large frame does not mean your cushion is Large. It's entirely common for patients to combine a Large frame with a Small cushion, or a Small frame with a Medium cushion. If your previous DreamWear order or clinic fitting gave you a specific combination — for example, "Medium frame, Medium Wide cushion" — that combination is what you select here.

If you're unsure of either dimension, this is not the right page. The FitPack is the appropriate starting point.

WHAT "MEDIUM WIDE" ACTUALLY MEANS

Medium 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 nostrils are wider at the base than the standard Medium cushion accommodates, but whose nose height is not greater. Patients who find that the standard Medium cushion leaves small gaps at the sides of the seal, rather than lifting at the bridge of the nose, are typically the ones for whom Medium Wide is the right choice.

If you've been told by a clinic or confirmed through FitPack trialing that Medium Wide is your size, it will not appear "bigger" in the sense of covering more of your face — it simply provides a better-fitting seal for a wider nostril profile.

HOW THE FRAME AND CUSHION CONNECT — AND WHY MISMATCHING YOUR SIZES MATTERS

The cushion clips into the frame via a standardized connection point that is identical across all three frame sizes. This is by design: if your nostril measurement changes — due to weight change, swelling, or preference — you can replace the cushion alone without replacing the frame. Conversely, if your headgear fit changes, you can replace the frame without buying a new cushion.

What this also means is that selecting the wrong cushion size at order time is a cushion problem, not a frame problem. If you select a Medium frame and a Medium cushion, and the cushion doesn't seal properly, the frame itself is not at fault — the cushion size needs to change. Because our return policy does not allow returns on opened mask products, it's worth taking a few minutes to confirm your cushion size from a prior fitting or using the printable sizing gauge before placing this order. The gauge is a single-page PDF that, printed at full scale, reproduces the physical card (part 1116752) Philips uses to measure cushion fit — it confirms cushion size based on the dimensions of your nostril base.

HOW AIRFLOW MOVES THROUGH THE MASK

DreamWear routes therapy air through the soft silicone frame rather than through an external hose at the front of the face. Two channels run from the hose connection at the top of the head, down through the frame arms on either side of the face, and meet at the cushion beneath the nose. The cushion sits under the nostrils — not inside them and not over the nose — and delivers pressure upward into both nostrils simultaneously.

When you're sleeping on your back, pressure distributes evenly through both frame channels. When you roll to your side, the lower channel compresses slightly under the weight of the frame, and therapy air is redirected through the upper, open channel without interrupting the seal or requiring any adjustment. This is what gives the mask its position tolerance — the geometry of the airflow path, not just the softness of the cushion.

HEADGEAR AND HOSE ATTACHMENT

The headgear uses a single soft strap at the back of the head with semi-rigid arms that position the frame. The arms are designed to provide stability through their geometry rather than through strap tension — if you find yourself constantly overtightening your current mask's headgear to stop leaks, the arm design here works differently and typically requires less tension once the correct cushion size is seated. The hose elbow at the top of the head swivels 360 degrees, which keeps the hose out of the way when you turn over and reduces drag on the pillow through the night.
