DreamWear Pillows CPAP Mask Causing Facial Indentations

Post by Dobemom » Sun Jul 24, 2022 7:18 pm

Hello everyone,
I am a newbie here.
I have been using my DreamWear CPAP Nasal Pillows since October 1, 2021. I am doing very well on my therapy, however the facial mask is causing indentations to my cheeks and under-eye area. The headwear is adjusted comfortably and is not overly tightened.
I am wondering if anyone in this forum has had or is having this same issue and if so do you have any suggestions of how to reduce this from occurring?
Thanking you in advance!

Have you tried the side fleece wraps?

I don't know if Karen's side strap covers are big enough for the side frame thingies on the DreamWear.
Would probably need to ask her. I have her P10 strap covers and they won't go around the frame without compressing it too much. The Respironics fleece wrap is wider and goes around without compressing it.

I haven't checked her side strap covers lately...don't know if she has one for the DreamWear or not.
