Dreamwear Headgear

Post by Thatgirl » Mon Jan 11, 2016 11:48 am

Anyone have any tips for getting the elastic part of the Dreamwear headgear to stay put on my head? It just loves to push up my hair, ride up, then I'll turn over, and it pops right off. Tightening it helps, but makes the mask portion less comfortable on my face, almost smooched against my nose.

Agree 100%. Really hope someone has a solution. That is why I cannot wear the Dreamwear. Headgear slips with contact with the pillow causing leaks. If I over tighten the headgear the pillow compresses. The vent shooting straight out did not go over well with my Wife. Decided you just can't do much better than the Airfit P10.

This has worked for me: I sewed two squares of velcro (the loop side) to the inside of the back strap. I used stick-on velcro at first but it would come loose and the glue would stick to my hair (ouch!). I also pull the strap way down on the back of my head and life my hair overtop of it. Since I did these two things my mask no longer pops off. Hope this helps!
