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:

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

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.

"The mask I find excellent particulaly the outer sheath fitting, unfortunatly I cannot seem to get on with the forehead restrain as it makes my forhead sweat, I therefore have to construct a hybrid mask using the face mask from one model and a sicicon forehead restraint from another. I attatch the silicon forehead retraint to the mask with an elastic band!.. I also much prefer the smaller lighter headgear as it adgain doesnt make my head sweat as much."

"The headgear is confusing and difficult to apply I can see where a much more simplistic design would be possible all those straps fasteners and clip on devices distract from what is otherwise a good product"
Comfortable, but smelly

(5 out of 5) by Annoymous User
"The fit and comfort are excellent, but the smell of old socks persists for about a week to 10 days. Still, I would definitely buy it again, the comfort is excellent."

"I have always had this mask and I love it because you can replace the soft gel part with out having to replace the whole mask. I do not like the headgear, because it wears out fast. I would suggest after your initial head gear wears out purchasing a sturdier head gear. All in all excellent mask."
