I do not know if this will show up. I am not an expert at posting pictures. It looks very interesting.

What do you all think of this?

They must be doing very well with the DreamWear frame.
Interesting mask. The only thing that would scare me is that bottom strap around the back of the neck and that's because of my bad neck. I have problems with most full face masks because of the lower back strap that is needed for most FFM.
But I am curious and probably willing to give it a try for grins. It's been a while since I tried something new and things are getting boring. Need to break up the boredom.

Thank you Pugsy for replying. So you can see the photo?

It looks interesting

Yes, I can see it easily and it does look very interesting.
For so many years full face masks were so predictable and here lately the last few years they are getting quite innovative.
Looks like a person could really squish their face into the bed pillow and not have the hard frame dig into the face.

Yep...I will give it a try once it gets released. Just to be trying something new.
I am curious about the noise too. The Darth Vadar breathing which I experience from time to time.

Is this mask available? I don't see it on my suppliers website.
I loved my dreamwear mask for comfort, but I could not control the leaks. Maybe this one would be the best of both worlds.

Looks very cool. Dreamwear nasal mask with mouth part that turns it into FFM. Definitely something I would try as well especially for when I was sick and couldn't breathe through mouth.

[Pugsy]

It's new and doesn't appear to be available just yet. It's not even on the Respironics website that I went to.
You might ask your DME to keep you in mind if they happen to get one to demo. Often before a mask gets released to the public some DMEs will get demo models for people to try and give reports back.

Unsure when this will be released for full retail market...could be 2 months...could be 6 months.

Same goes for me,....otherwise it looks quite interesting. I may give it a shot after it comes out since I can't wear the Amara View due to leakage, and it would be nice to have something more comfortable than a FFM for those times my nose is really congested.

Maybe a person could modify the back strap, so that instead of it going around the lower neck, it could use "ear-loops" to go around the ears on each side instead and stay on that way...

So, that strap would now become TWO straps, one on each side at only a slightly higher angle. Then it wouldn't need to go around the entire back of the neck at all...

It seems to ME, that my idea outlined above would be more universal, and superior to what they have now.

I would like to try it when it becomes available. I used the Amara View as my primary mask for several months, and still use one as a back up. My only complaint was the nasal portion was a little small for me. Even with the large mask cushion, the tip of my nose would touch the cushion and leave red spot on my nose.

As an Amara View user this really looks promising.
Smaller cushion, magnetic clips, less headgear, top hose hook-
up, all very appealing.
Thanks for the post

Interesting, indeed. One suggestion related to posting images from Imgur:
In order to see the image directly within the comment without the need to click a link, the following should work:
1) within Imgur when you have your gallery of images on the screen, select the one you want to post in your comment.
2) with the selected image surrounded by a green frame, single left click on the image
3) the image will now be displayed by itself in the left frame of the dialog box
4) in the right frame there should be a series of copy options
5) click the copy box associated with the listing for BBCode
6) go back to the comment you want the image in and paste into the comment where you want the image to appear

Such as this image of an early prototype PAP setup

Please note the industrial strength headgear, especially the chinstrap.

I have already sent that guy an email about this new mask.

[USMCVet]

I sent email asking about this mask and got this response.
"I believe that you are referring to our new DreamWear full face mask. It is currently out as a limited release and should be fully released later this year, although that date is not yet available."
