The ComfortGel is the upgrade to the very popular Profile Lite Gel Mask. It has the same gel that can be boiled and custom fit to your face, but most people get a good fit from one of the four sizes without molding the gel.
The value priced ComfortGel includes the following features:
Broad Silicone Forehead Pad. Ever had a dent in your forehead? The ComfortGel forehead pad is larger than the Profile Lite to diffuse any pressure out over a larger area for more comfort.
Adjustable Bridge Fit. Ever had a sore nose bridge? The ComfortGel can be adjusted outward at the bridge of the nose to help reduce pressure.
Replaceable Gel Cushion. Has your dog ever eaten your mask? If so, the ComfortGel cushion can easily be replaced without buying a whole new mask.
Silicone Cushion Flap. Does your mask get worn and "mushy" too quickly? The ComfortGel comes with a separate silicone membrane that snaps on over the gel cushion to increase the life of the cushion. And the membrane itself is replaceable.
Ball-and-Socket Quick Clips. How many times do you have to get out of bed at night? The clips allow easy removal and replacement of the mask without re-adjusting the straps.
Latex-Free. Just like all Respironics masks and headgear.
You can use our online sizing tool to find out which masks will work best with your facial structure.
If you still aren’t convinced that this is the mask for you, all you need to do is buy our Return Insurance and you can send it back within 30 days for a refund of the full purchase price. Read all about it here:

What Participants liked about the ComfortGel Nasal Mask: "After using CPAP for 10 years, I have tried many different types of masks including full face, nasal masks, and nasal pillows; yet I always seem to return to the ComfortGel." – Richard C.
The headgear stays in place and holds the seal without leaks
Dual sided cushions offer a great seal
Secure enough for many side sleepers

(note: The clips were redesigned in the wake of Product Challenge 5, this problem has been addressed)

The Ultra Mirage II beat the ComfortGel Nasal Mask with a score of 37 to 13.
Product Challenges are head to head competitions between two similar products. Only real CPAP users determine the superior product after testing both in their home for a 2-3 week period.
What Participants liked about the ComfortGel Nasal Mask: “Comfort of the Comfort Gel is slightly better for me than Ultra Mirage II, partly because it is wider and I am a 'side-sleeper'.” – David P.
The wider mask was found to be more comfortable by 14 participants
Quieter exhaust port than the Ultra Mirage II
The gel feature adds to the seal for varied faces
What Participants want improved about this mask: “The downsides of this model were the increased air noise and also it utilizes a removable clip to direct air back out. If this clip gets skewed then air pressure is reduced and noise is increased.” – Jeff L.
Sizes run large compared to the Ultra Mirage II
The grip of the velcro is not as strong as the Ultra Mirage II
The seal was easier to achieve and maintain with the Ultra Mirage II

Comfort Gel Right Fit Sizing Gauge
Looking to replace your old ComfortGel mask, but you do not know what size you have? The size of the mask can be found printed on or embossed along the side of the frame that runs along the nose. An example of the size indicator is a printed "L" meaning you have a "Large."
The Comfort Gel mask is no longer manufactured with the Deluxe Headgear. Respironics has upgraded the headgear to the Premium Headgear with EZ Peel Tabs.

"I have used this mask for the past 6 years and have tried another but find this to be the most comfortable. It is very easy to use, to take on and off, to clean and to customize. It is the only mask I have found in the petite size that doesn't create air leaks."

"I have a large head (while in the Navy, they had to special order my hat). Your MEDIUM size seems to actually be extralarge as I have to pull the tabs down all the way to make the mask airtight."

"Silicone flap is excellent in preventing leaks, gel a little too soft for support."

"THIS IS A VERY GOOD MASK THAT I HAVE USED FOR YEARS. GOOD SEAL AND HEADGEAR IS GOOD QUALITY. HOWEVER, I COULD ONLY GIVE IT 4 STARS BECAUSE APPARANTLY THE MFG IS MAKING IT LARGER- THE MED IS HUGE ON ME( SITS ABOVE THE EYES )AND EVEN THE SMALL WHICH I BOUGHT LOCALLY TO COMPARE IS TOO BIG. I HAVEN'T PURCHASED THIS IN SOME YEARS SO SOMEWHERE ALONG THE WAY THE MFG DECIDED TO MAKE IT BIGGER. IF THIS IS IMPORTANT TO YOU BE AWARE. OTHERWISE GOOD MASK."
