Philips' under-the-nose nasal mask
Strengths
- Tube on top of the head: Philips presents it for sleeping on your back, side or stomach.
- Cushion under the nose, with no pressure on the nose bridge.
- Non-fabric parts can go in the dishwasher once a week, according to the user guide.
Watch out for
- Nasal mask: if you breathe through your mouth, air escapes.
- Magnets: it is not part of Philips' 2022 recall of masks with magnets, but its technical sheet carries a magnetic interference warning. If you have an implant, ask Philips or your equipment provider to confirm.
- No quiet vent claimed by Philips (18 dBA declared at one meter).
Best for
- Nose breathing, mouth closed
- Side, stomach or restless sleepers
- Nose bridge prone to red marks
