Which sleep mask is right for you?
Sleep masks at a glance
Your mask has a major impact on the effectiveness of your therapy. It should meet your personal needs and not cause leakage or pressure points on the face. Also, talk to your doctor about your personal habits and needs to find out which model is right for you.
We offer you masks from the DreamWear series, which allow a high degree of freedom of movement thanks to their innovative design and are available in the Philips online shop. You can also get these and other Philips sleep therapy masks from a retailer of your choice.
My typical sleeping habits:
1. I breathe through my mouth
Then a mouth and nose mask is probably the right thing for you
The full face mouth and nose mask is characterized by a minimalist design. It is smaller, lighter and less intimidating than classic face masks. It is correspondingly comfortable to wear.

2. I breathe through my nose and value comfort and familiarity
Then a minimal contact nasal mask is probably the right thing for you.
Wisp features a particularly compact design that combines maximum comfort and minimal face contact. The "tip of the nose" pillow 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 that sits under your nose is probably the right thing for you.
Alongside the DreamWear Full Face, the Amara View mouth and nose mask is the only mouth and nose mask that does not cause red marks on the nose. It is placed under the nose and gives patients more freedom thanks to its minimalist design.

When you begin therapy, you should understand how your mask and related components work—and when they need to be replaced. We will illustrate this using our DreamWear masks as an example. The masks serve to supply you with the air from your therapy device. Most masks have built-in exhalation valves to allow exhaled air to escape.
1. Headband
The DreamWear headgear with unique non-slip straps keeps your mask in place.
2nd hose
The tube is critical to effective therapy. You have the option of using a hose connected to a humidifier and heated to keep the air moist. Check the hose every night to make sure there are no cracks or other damage.
3.Mask cushion
Our DreamWear masks offer 3 different mask cushion types:
nasal mask:
the most minimalist design
Full face mask:
to breathe 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 think you need a replacement, you can contact your retailer or, in the case of our DreamWear masks, purchase them from our online store.
