Can I ask if the dreamwear nasal pillows would work if you sleep with your mouth open?
Hubby has the dreamwear full face but doesn't like it so doesn't practice with his NIV. if the nasal pillows work with your mouth open ( i don't see how they could really) we will ask for one.Carer for husband diagnosed with ALS April 2021.

Think he doesn't like the whole concept of NIV. It is something he is really resisting trying out. Don't know what he will decide when his respiratory function indicates that its time to get stuck into it.

Maybe the Philips Amara View...
Video showing Philips Respironics Amara View minimal contact full face mask fitting guide. To find more about the Philips' Amara View visit http://philips.t...
It covers just the nostrils and mouth like the DreamWear hybrid full-face - but the head straps are less bulky because the tubing doesn't go via that route.

I wear both the AmaraView (night) and its DreamWear equivalent for daytime use, the fact that the hose on the DreamWear is not to the front is a big plus, as it the lighter weight to the front, which can make a difference when one's neck is very weak.
I prefer the AmaraView for overnight use. xxDiagnosed 03/2007. Sporadic Definite ALS/MND Spinal (hand) Onset.
