The DeVilbiss Serenity CPAP Mask features an adjustable forehead rest, a gel cushion, an overhead hose guide and easy-to-assemble headgear. Unlike most masks, the CO2 vent ports are directional and allow you to change the air to flow away from the body.
Silicone gel is used to filled both the cushion and forehead pads. This provides for a soft, conforming surface. The Forehead rest can be adjusted along a patented locking system, preventing mask leaks and optimizing comfort around the bridge of the nose.
Use the overhead hose guide for those who sleep on either side or on your back. When you need to remove the mask, press the quick release clip incorporated into the headgear.
Do you move around a lot when you sleep? These masks are ideal for users who either sleep on their side or stomach or restless sleepers who toss and turn. There are a few specialized cushions that address this issue as well as most Nasal Pillow and Prong CPAP masks.
Indicates which masks come packaged with more than one cushion, pillow or prong. Masks can come packaged with ALL Sizes or a combination of sizes as a Fit Pack. This is ideal for users who have not tried the mask before and do not know the right size to select.
These masks offer replaceable cushions, pillows, or prongs. These unique CPAP Masks offer replaceable cushions as a low cost solution to keep your mask feeling and working like new.
These masks are designed to prevent mouth leaks. If you are opening your mouth during the night, airflow escapes and reduces therapy effectiveness. Users who are experiencing a dry mouth, sore throat, or sinus congestion may require a mask that seals around the mouth.
This property identifies masks that are ideal for small facial features. Any mask with a size petite or extra small will be marked 'Yes'. Nasal Pillow masks are ideal because they accommodate the size of the 'nare' or nasal openings, not the face.
TV Friendly CPAP masks have interfaces that avoid obstructing your vision so you can read or watch TV before going to bed. Any mask designed without a forehead piece will fall under this property.
Tired of adjusting your headgear every time you take your mask off during the night? Quick-Clips allow users to easily remove and replace the mask on your face without re-adjusting the headgear straps.
These masks have the least amount of material around the face, fewer headgear points, and offers more freedom when you sleep. Most Nasal Pillow and Nasal Prong masks are ideal for claustrophobic users.
The value will be marked 'Yes' for CPAP masks with interfaces that are unique to CPAP users with wide facial features. Masks with 'Wide' cushion sizes would fall under this category. Nasal pillow and prong masks are ideal for wide faces because the seal occurs around the nare, not the face.
These CPAP masks have interfaces that accommodate a wide variety of facial hair styles. Gel cushions and foam inserts provide support and comfort for users who may need to over-tighten headgear straps to help seal around facial hair. Silicone gel also helps create a fluid seal over the hair.
"I was very pleased with the mask. I have been diagnosed with sleep apnea for the past 12 years and this is the most comfortable mask for me. I have tried many masks but always go back to this particular style."
Peter M, Crumpton, MD – June 25, 2009
"I like the mask so far. It sure does beat my last one that my dog got a hold of and put holes all through it. :)
The only issue that I have is that sometimes it feels that I have to put the mask on extra tight for it to maintain a good seal. The silicone also irritates the skin next to my nose, I'm sure this is getting getting used to the mask.
Over all, I like the mask and its pretty comfortable."
MARJORIE R, SAN JOSE, CA – June 23, 2009
"I found the instructions a bit confusing. had to read them over & over to grasp them. yes i'm 61 & need clearer directions. finally i looked at my old mask & matched them up. wah lah! i had a new mask. I like the new forehead cushioning. My old mask had just one gel pad. The new one is much more comfortable. i'm still adjusting the top straps, which seem to be more inflexible than old straps - stiffer maybe? otherwise i am happy with mask."
Fast service

"Fast service, excellent quality"
Not compatable
Jerold R, Baldwin, MI – June 24, 2008
"I purchased this product since I'm on a fixed incoome and barely missed medicares guildlines for help with my CPAP items. I wasted the purchase price in as I had to use old parts to jury rig the mask (not compatable with my existing setup) and when I did get it addapted it was too small. The head gear AND the mask. It was the largest offered. I wasted my money as I ordered a new much more expensive mask (one I'm familiar with) after I tried the mask."

How often should I replace my mask?
Medicare allows for mask cushion replacement every three (3) months and complete mask system replacement every six (6) months. CPAP manufacturers and vendors suggest these replacement schedules as well.
In our experience, most mask cushions begin to deteriorate after about six months of use. The silicone eventually becomes too soft to hold a seal and headgear straps must be tightened more and more to get the same quality seal.
We strongly suggest replacing cushions and pillows as soon as they start to soften. Air leaks may reduce the effectiveness of CPAP therapy and headgear that is too tight may cause facial sores at pressure points. You can also replace the headgear of your mask if it is stretched out or the Velcro worn out.
To see what parts of your mask are replaceable refer to our Replacement Part Finder. Search for your mask and then see all of the replaceable parts.
How do I care for my mask?
Masks should be washed daily in warm water with baby shampoo and left to air dry. Never use antibacterial soap as it will break down the silicone of the mask. Avoid soaps with lotion or lanolin which can coat the mask and cause it to lose its seal. A safe cleaner is the Control III Disinfectant CPAP Cleaning Solution. Remember to go to bed with a clean face, this will improve your seal and protect the lifespan of your mask.
The best time to clean your mask is in the morning so that the oils from your skin are removed. We recommend using mask wipes to make daily morning cleanings easy. The mask wipes are made from materials that will not break down your mask.

Why might I prefer a nasal mask?
The ideal CPAP mask is the one you can't tell is on. Start with minimal masks. If you are strictly a nose breather, the nasal mask is a good choice. The nasal cushion creates a very good seal around your nose and has a small profile. Nasal masks are also offered in gel, which many find comfortable.
Most nasal masks have a forehead support which offers stability and support for the mask.
