Philips 1133431 Respironics DreamWear Full Face Mask Cushion Medium

• Model: 1133431
• Size: Medium

The DreamWear Full Face Cushion in Medium provides a full‑face sealing option that is designed with patient comfort in mind, especially for those who breathe through both their nose and mouth during sleep. Its “under‑the‑nose” design means the cushion avoids sitting on the nasal bridge; instead it forms a seal beneath the nose and over the mouth. This helps reduce pressure on sensitive areas, like the bridge, which can often lead to red marks, irritation, or discomfort with more traditional full‑face mask designs. By resting under the nose rather than covering it, the cushion aims to deliver full airflow to both nose and mouth while minimizing bulk over the nose.

Another benefit of this style is visual and physical openness. Because it is low‑profile and doesn’t block the top of the nose, the wearer has a clearer field of view (useful for reading, watching TV, etc.) and fewer contact points that might interfere during side‑sleeping or movement. The medium size strikes a balance: it is sized for average nose‑mouth geometry, intended to provide a reliable seal without being overly large (which could cause leaks) or tight (which could be uncomfortable). The materials (silicone + rigid components) are built to flex and adjust during movement so the seal remains stable during tosses and turns, while exhalation ports are designed to keep noise and airflow disturbance low.

In practice, success with the 1133431 cushion depends heavily on correct sizing, alignment, and maintenance. You want the cushion to align properly under your nose, ensuring the seal is even around the mouth and both nostrils. If the mask is too large or misaligned, leaks may occur; if too tight, there may be discomfort. Over time, silicone can lose its shape or become harder, which degrades sealing performance, so regular cleaning and timely replacement are important. Users often praise this cushion for combining a good full‑face seal with less marked pressure on the bridge of the nose, but some do report that it takes a few nights to adjust to the feel, especially if switching from a more traditional full‑nose or over‑nose design.
