Which sleep mask is right for you?
Sleep Masks against Sleep Apnea
Your mask has a significant impact on the effectiveness of your therapy. It should meet your personal needs and not cause leaks or pressure points on your face. Also, talk to your doctor about your personal habits and needs to find out which model is suitable for you.
We offer you masks from the DreamWear series, which allow a high degree of freedom of movement due to their innovative design and are available in the Philips online shop. In addition, you can obtain these and other Philips sleep therapy masks from a specialist dealer of your choice.
My typical sleeping habits:
1.I breathe through the mouth
Then a mouth-nose mask is probably the right choice for you
The Full Face mouth-nose mask is characterized by a minimalist design. It is smaller, lighter, and less intimidating than traditional mouth-nose masks. Accordingly, it is comfortable to wear.

2. I breathe through the nose and value comfort and familiarity
Then a minimal contact nasal mask is probably the right choice for you.
Wisp is characterized by an especially compact design that combines maximum comfort with minimal facial contact. The "nasal tip" cushion sits under the bridge of your nose.
3. I breathe through my mouth and like to have a clear view
Then a mouth-nose mask sitting under the nose is probably right for you.
The Amara View mouth-nose mask, alongside the DreamWear Full Face, is the only mouth-nose mask that does not cause red marks on the nose. It is placed under the nose and allows patients more freedom with its minimalist design.

When you start therapy, you should know how your mask and the associated components work – and when they need to be replaced. We illustrate this using our DreamWear masks as an example. The masks are designed to deliver air from your therapy device. Most masks have built-in exhalation valves to allow exhaled air to escape.
1. Headband
The DreamWear headband with the unique non-slip arms keeps your mask in place.
2. Tube
The tube is crucial for effective therapy.You have the option to use a hose connected to a humidifier and heated to keep the air moist. Check the hose every night to ensure that no cracks or other damage have occurred.
3.Mask cushions
Our DreamWear masks offer 3 different mask cushion types:
Nasal mask:
the most minimalist design
Full face mask:
for breathing through the mouth
Gel cushion mask:
for a better seal
4. Frame
The innovative DreamWear design allows airflow through the mask frame itself.
When should parts be replaced?
Check your products frequently for wear and damage. If you believe you need a replacement, you can contact your specialist dealer or, in the case of our DreamWear masks, also purchase them in our online shop.
