DreamWear
A masks for treatment of sleeping and breathing disorders
DreamWear is a patient-driven design by Philips.
CPAP masks are a central part of treatment for sleeping and breathing disorders like sleep apnea, but the gear can be uncomfortable.
DreamWear is designed to feel like you’re not wearing a mask at all. The mask’s hose connection is on top of the head rather than under the nose, making it less irritating to the face. The smaller, out-of-the-way design provides the flexibility for more sleep positions and makes it more comfortable to kiss a partner goodnight.
DreamWear's unique design offers many of the benefits of nasal and pillows masks to allow patients to have the best of both mask types. Allowing more freedom of movement and more comfort than their prescribed mask, DreamWear patients feel like they are not wearing a mask at all.*
