Dreamwear full-face cushion

Post by robert-tim » Thu Feb 29, 2024 9:57 pm

I found this mask suitable for CPAP therapy, but have a couple of comments on it. EBay sells them at a lower price than Amazon charges, but the cheapest ones on EBay often leak air around the magnet area. At least one user reported covering the leak with tape and getting satisfactory results, but if such a repair doesn't work the cushion is worthless.

An FDA recall has been issued on this mask, but this can give rise to misunderstandings. The magnets of this mask, and others with magnets, can interfere with metal medical devices implanted in the user's body, presumably close to the magnets. Users who do not have such implants can safely wear the mask, however.

Where are you getting this information? All of the ones I see on eBay are OEM.

They're all in about the same price range on Ebay. I purchased two there that leak, but I didn't realize it until I needed to replace the cushion, and discovered the leak. (So this isn't hearsay, it actually happened to me.) It's probably worth paying a little more to get them on Amazon, which allows returns, I suppose. Many EBay vendors do not offer returns.

Both suppliers offer OEM. Seems like mere suspicion about eBay.
