Philips 1071811 Respironics TrueBlue Gel CPAP Nasal Mask w/ Headgear Petite

• Model: 1071811
• Size: Petite

The Philips Respironics TrueBlue Gel Nasal Mask in the Petite size is designed for users who need a smaller fit without sacrificing features that enhance comfort and performance. Its defining characteristic is the Premium Blue Gel Cushion paired with a thin outer silicone membrane (the flap) that works in tandem to provide a seal that adjusts as you move. The membrane flexes and the gel cushion conforms to the shape of the nose, helping to reduce pressure points (especially around the bridge of the nose), improve comfort, and minimize leaks. Because this is the Petite size, it’s suited for smaller noses: those whose pupil‑to‑nose‑bottom length and nose width are on the lower end of the sizing scale.

One of the standout features of this mask is its Freeform Spring cushion‑spring system. The cushion is mounted on a flexible spring‑like joint to the mask frame, and this allows the mask cushion to move in multiple directions without losing seal. This is especially helpful for “active sleepers” who toss, turn, change position frequently, or sleep on their side. The forehead pad (with soft gel sections) enhances comfort by distributing pressure across a broader area rather than pinning pressure to small contact points, and the headgear is relatively loose fitting but with multiple adjustment points (including a crown strap) to help maintain stable positioning without overtightening.

In actual use, users tend to get a good balance of seal, comfort, and freedom of movement with this mask, though with the caveat that proper sizing and adjustment are crucial. Because the Petite size has smaller dimensions, misalignment (e.g., not centering the cushion correctly, over‑tight headgear) can lead to leaks or pressure marks. Also, over time the gel cushion/membrane/flap can wear—become less supple or develop tears—so regular inspection and timely replacement are important. Given that this mask is discontinued in many markets, finding spare parts (cushions, pads, headgear) may be more difficult, so keeping extras or having alternate options is wise.
