Philips DreamWear FFM mask size question
#1
Philips DreamWear FFM mask size question
I needed to try a full face mask, and my DME provider suggested the DreamWear FFM over the ResMed F30i because I sleep mostly on my side and stomach, and he thought the DreamWear would be less likely to shift and leak. When he checked my size, he said I was sort of in between Small and Medium - but the only fit pack they had was the Medium, with both the small and regular headgear (I needed the small). It's working "okay", but I do feel that the nasal cushion is probably a little too big and was thinking to order the Small to see if I like it better.

My question is whether the various mask sizes just have a difference in the silicone nasal cushion part, or if the mask itself (the large hard plastic piece) is also different in size? The medium mask I have now seems to just barely fit around the outside edge of my mouth, and I'm concerned that if the main mask part is going to be smaller as well, that could be an issue. My local DME provider does not carry individual parts for the Philips as they deal almost exclusively with ResMed products, so he said if I needed a different size I would have to purchase it online.
