Hello. Can anyone tell me if I can use the Bella loops around the ear headgear with my Phillips dream station. My mask won’t stay on my head and smashes my curly hair. I love my heated tube with the Phillips machine and am confused about the short tube which appears to come with the Bella loops
In short, I want to use the loops and nose piece with my Phillips heated tube, looks like it would fit. But will it? Has anyone done this? Thanks so much for helping this CPAP nubie. :

Any mask will work with any CPAP..(Except some travel machines). The small Bella tube connects to your regular hose.

Dealers may imply that everything needs to be the same brand to work.
This is just a flat-out LIE. One of the many they try to pad their pockets.
Mixing things up is only one way to make your DME nervous.
Enjoy.

Thank you all so much for your replies. I am going to order just the mask and loops from Amazon. My insurance would just deduct the price from my HSA at a much high price I’m sure.
Excited to not have squished hair and headaches. Yeah. I’ll post how it works out.
