Silicone Headgear with Arms for DreamWear Nasal & Pillow Masks

Update: 2/19/24:I am still using this actual product and it's still going strong. I do wash it in the morning on occasion, and it is dry by bedtime. I also put it in the SoClean Ozone Cleaner a few times a week - highly recommend that product if you have the space, but I digress.Just came back on here to say that it is rare that a product lasts this long nowadays, but this one has.-------------------------------I am a new CPAP/APAP user and after much research, settled on the Dreamwear line because it is so inobtrusive. I had tried several masks, one being Wisp, and felt that I was suffocating. While it fits my husband well, my lips are full and get in the way of the nose piece. Also, I felt a bit like an elephant. :DThe Dreamware mask has been fantastic. You can wear it with glasses, should you need to have a quick look at the clock or what have you. It slips right on and the hose is at the top, so you don’t see it, don't feel like an elephant and doesn’t get in the way. The only issue was that the mask was coming loose while I slept due to the headgear strap slipping up and forward. It would slip slide over my hair and fall off, waking me. This item (number 1116751. DreamWear Headgear with Arms) simply solves that problem. No more slipping. I have been tracking the numbers on the DreamStation and it is 100%, consistently.The headgear fits the cushion, which I use; the pillows, AND the full face mask, and the strap fits the back of the headgear no matter which you use. Some had said the clips grab hair as they clip it on... I'd advise to either put the hair up and out of the way, or use the velcro portion to adjust. This isn't a problem for me, as I put my hair on top of my head and then put the headgear in place and move the piece that goes in the back underneath my hair. This should be the headgear strap for Philips Respironics DreamWare, IMO. Very happy.

I used the regular basic strap for a long while, it was always a hassel with my hair , sliding around and making me wake up and re-adjust strap from sliding all the time! I decided to try this style and I was extremely suprised! I no long get woke up , It stays in place and fits more natural. My hair no longer gets tangled /pulled , the slippage is very minimal. If you are having issue and have not tried this style I would encourage you to try this one !

I have always had a hard time wearing headbands, bandana's, and the like. My head must be shaped such that they always slide off regardless of the shape or size. This was also the case with the straps for my nasal pillow headgear. I found that the headgear would slip off in just a couple hours, especially since I am a restless sleeper. I tried so many different straps over about a year, and these are the only ones that work for me! They are super comfortable, and stay in place without being too tight- I don't even wake with marks on my face like so many other straps. I can't praise these enough!

It works great on my CPAP headgear

Simple device I can see how some might not like this strap but it seems to be pretty secure for my use.

Finally! One that stays put and doesn’t ride up the back of my head all night! After 3 years of using a CPAP, this is the first back strap that is comfortable and stays put. I’m thrilled to finally find this style. Much improved over the previous generation.

My old cpap head strap would ride up the back of my head at night while sleeping. I would have to adjust it at least 2 or 3 times a night. This strap has eliminated that problem, as it has curved pieces on the side that allow the strap to go further down your head, not allowing it to ride up. I have been using it for a few weeks and i have not had to adjust it during the night one time. It works!

The rigid arms and soft strap are the same size as the manufacturer's; the strap is a little thicker, perhaps, but it fits the frame perfectly well.
