Yeah I am using a Dreamwear nasal cushion at the moment (N30i leaks like crazy) while I wait months for the actinic keratosis cut to heal. It seems to be irritating the area just below my nose. Tried DreamWisp and it gave me a pressure sore on the bridge of my nose. I've learned I need to have multi...

I have a cartilage bump on the inner rim of my nostril which has caused me a lot of pain off and on from nasal pillows rubbing on it. I went to the dermatologist in case it was not cartilage and he found and sliced off a hypertrophic actinic keratosis at the same spot. What are the odds of that? How...

Thanks. I have tried the Amara View and the Hybrid and both leaked like crazy around the cheeks. Could not even get it to stop while I was awake never mind asleep. I will keep this mask in mind but it has no top attachment which typically is a big problem for me since I am a very active sleeper.

Here's another alternative way to deal with sores that works well and does not cause a leak in the cushion seal. https://www.amazon.com/Nexcare-Sensitive-Skin-Trauma-Tape/dp/B01MU03KKO/ref=asc_df_B01MU03KKO/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=416711462567&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=13532408908375387405&...

Switched to another type of mask for 3 nights, cleaned the DreamWisp, cleaned my nose right before bed, loosened the mask as much as possible, used DreamWisp again for 2 nights...angry red line again on the bridge of my nose. No, there is definitely something wrong with this mask, as many others hav...

I have the Philips Respironics DreamWisp Nasal cushion cpap mask. It works pretty well as long as I'm pretty good about cleaning the cushion.

Curious what you mean by "pretty good". Do you clean it every day as the manufacturer says? Once a week? Less often? Thanks.

DreamWisp worked great with no large leaks.

Unfortunately after two nights it is giving me a big red sore line across the bridge of my nose....

After two nights with DreamWisp I have an angry red line across my nose, about 2/3 of the way up. And by "line" I mean 1/2" wide and 1" long. Lanky Lefty in his review of this on youtube mentioned it made him break out across the bridge of his nose, something no other mask ever did. He said he fixed...

The manufacturer specifically says "Let the mask components air dry completely," contrary to someone's "common sense."

That said, they also say to hand wash all non-fabric parts every day. I don't see being able to do that unless and until I'm retired. I'm often late to work as it is.

The only thing we all know is that rudeness is alive and well on the internet, as is insulting people who ask a question. What is this, third grade? Your common sense may very well be wrong. From a Reddit thread on the subject: "I worked in a sleep lab and we used cpap masks and tubing right after t...

I just recall this coming up before years ago and medical personnel saying medical equipment (discussing hospital practice) was meant to taken new from the package and immediately used, and that hospitals never hand washed equipment and left it out to dry overnight before first use. This is the firs...

Just got a DreamWisp mask and it says "Hand wash before first use" which is rather annoying given that it is a complex mask and I will have to take it all apart before even getting to see if it works decently.

That does look ideal. Thanks!

I am used to my Aloha which has a top of head ring on the headgear for routing the hose up to a Hose Buddy. Also has multiple adjustment points that let you adjust tightness in different directions as well as the angle of the pillows themselves. Because of irritation of a little piece of cartilage i...

I got no payment. I suspect it's because I won't return their defective machine.
