Re: How many years does a mask last?
I use a Philips Dreamwear full face mask. I replace the cushion every 3 months, the headgear every 6 months, and the frame every year.

Re: Best pillow for side sleeper
I am a side sleeper. My full face mask is a Phillips Dreamwear and hose connects to it at top of my head. I use a buckwheat pillow I purchased at pur-sleep.com 3-4 years ago. Pillow is filled with buckwheat hulls and foam. After you lay down you can push down and create a space between mask cushion ...

Re: How Do I Dry Inside My CPAP Hose After Washing?
I wash mine every 2 months. I wash it in the morning, hang it over bathroom towel rack, and use it that night.

Re: Dreamwear mask noise...
I use a Dreamwear FFM. I sleep on my side. Occasionally the air entering mask cushion is "loud" (air pressure increases a little). Sometimes I hear what you called turbulence in the frame. Sometimes the machine is louder. None of those bother me but it bothers my wife.

Re: Dreamwear FFM & Padacheek
I've used a Pad A Cheek mask liner with a Dreamwear full face mask for 13 months. I hand wash it with soap and water once a week. I've had to replace it every 6 months. It wasn't designed to eliminate leaks, but my mask definitely leaks less when using it. That's the main thing I like about it.

Re: Just Received Two Replacement DS1s via Recall - Has Anyone Else Received DS1s Instead of DS2s? New or Refurbished?
Hi, After registering 18 months ago Philips just sent me two Dreamstation 1's to replace my recalled units. They appear to be newly manufactured units with November, 2022 production dates. When I called Philips to confirm if these were new or refurbished they confirmed that they were new units. Not...

Re: Mask Liners
I use a Pad A Cheek mask liner with a Phillips Dreamwear full face mask. I wash liner by hand with soap and water about once a week, and it lasts about 6 months. Total cost for the liner for my mask is $27. As I understand it, it wasn't designed to lessen leaks, but it has for me and I believe others.

Re: Most comfortable full face mask?
I'm using a Phillips Dreamwear full face mask and a Pad A Cheek mask liner. My pressure is normally 11.5. For me the mask liner has reduced leaks.

Re: Help me pick a backup/replacement machine for my Dreamstation 1
When I stopped using my recalled Dreamstation auto with humidifier and heated hose, I purchased a used, very low hour, Resmed S9 Autoset with humidifier. I also purchased a new Resmed heated hose. With it I used the same mask I used with the Dreamstation--a Phillips Dreamwear FFM. FWIW, after a long...

Re: Mask Recommendations
The Philips Dreamwear full face mask does not cover your nose. Philips describes it as an under the nose full face cushion. It allows you to wear glasses. The tube (hose) connects at the top of the head. This is the mask I use. Everyone is different--for me it doesn't leak when I sleep on my side, b...

Re: Mask leaking when sleeping on my back
I use a Dreamwear full face mask and a Pad A Cheek mask liner. It doesn't leak when on my side. It does leak when on my back. It's been suggested that a double mouthguard might help with that, but I never tried one.

Re: Remediated DreamStation1
My recalled device is a Dreamstation Auto CPAP and color is white. Is that a Dreamstation 1? The replacement I received, as worded on the packing slip, is a REP Dreamstation Auto CPAP, DOM. Color is white. Blower hours is zero. Does it look just like the machine you are replacing? Someone on anothe...

The label on the bottom is worded exactly the same as the packing slip.chunkyfrog wrote: ↑Fri Nov 26, 2021 4:46 pmFlip it over (no water inside, please), and read the foil label on the BOTTOM.
A packing slip can say whatever they want--or imagine.
I would not trust these boobs any further that I can chuck a percheron.
