why is the DreamWear Gel Nasal Pillow CPAP Mask not available in the UK

Post by itonestop » Thu Mar 22, 2018 1:57 pm

Hi, I am new to the forum and would like to know if anyone can advise when the DreamWear Gel Nasal Pillow CPAP Mask will be available to buy in the UK. Have seen the reports on it here and definitely want to try , as to date the Brevia is the most comfortable for me. I do however get woken frequently by loosing the seal and end up removing and turning on my side. Many thank's for reading my question

Who told you it wasn't available yet in the UK?
It's been available around the world for a couple of years now.
I found this website showing in the UK offering it
http://www.sleep-tight.co.uk/philips-re ... r-fit-pack

It's available but maybe where you get your supplies hasn't put forth the effort to obtain it.

I may have to RISE but I refuse to SHINE.

If you want to try the Eclipse mask and want a special promo code to get a little off the price...send me a private message.

Yep....now you know why I often send stuff to the UK.

Especially with mask packages they can be bought and shipped to me and I can ship to the UK and still end up costing half of what things might cost over there.
Plus we get around the ResMed and Respironics little restriction for cpap.com shipping outside the US.

People can also use those services that will reship outside the US but I don't know how much those services cost.
I do it for free. :lol: :lol:

If the OP here who wants the DreamWear gel pillows from Amazon and that seller can't/won't ship to the UK...there are ways of getting you that mask to you if you want it.
https://www.amazon.com/Respironics-Drea ... el+pillows

I have no idea what shipping restrictions might be but at that much of a savings in money...worth checking in to.
It says "fulfilled by Amazon" so I assume they will ship internationally because Amazon has a page explaining international shipping costs.

Thank Pugsy for all the info. All this type of equipment and machines are ridiculously priced over here. Have ordered from Amazon.com, which worked out at just over £60 sterling. Not sure if it includes the frame but hopefully I can use the frame from the under nose model which I have. This is freely available over here. I order normally from cpap.co.uk or eu-pap.co.uk. I even contacted Phillips re the gel pillows, but of no help as to when or if they intended to sell this version in UK.

Just got this mask to Israel from a "Fulfilled by Amazon" seller on Amazon. Shipping was less than $9 which is extraordinary low for US sellers.
