Anyone using a DreamWear Full Face Mask?

Post by PatCat » Sun Oct 28, 2018 2:06 pm

Hi Guy's

I'm almost 2 weeks in and still struggling to sleep more than a couple of hours with the full face mask I got. I'm hating the feeling of it sitting on the bridge of my nose, it makes me feel trapped and I keep pulling at it, also air escapes from the top of it and goes right into my eyes drying them out. I've looked at several other masks but it's so hard to choose and they're not cheap.

Are you using or have you used a DreamWear Full Face Mask before, if so I would really appreciate your comments.

Also I'm in the UK, do you know of any reasonable suppliers for this masks.

Thanking you all in advance for your help and support.

Thanks
Pat

I have successfully used both the Dreamwear FFM and the Amara View. I like the Dreamwear better. I feel the mask is softer than the Amara View. I get a good seal with both masks.

I had a loaner for a couple of weeks. Based on that experience I'd recommend it to anyone needing to find a new FFM.

It didn't work out for me, but that's irrelevant for you. I sure wanted it to work. It's a fantastic setup.

Thanks for your replies.

You said you had a loan one, is there places that allow you to try before you buy? mind you I'm in the UK.

Thanks

Well if you're in the UK what good would it do - after mailing costs (there is a small fee for keeping the mask a certain no. of wks, but you could never guarantee the time with overseas shipping). BUT - Rick Blaine (do a forum search and PM him) in the UK is very knowledgable about where and what over there, so you could ask him about try-ons, etc.
