Included the option of a Gel Cushion, as opposed to the original Silicone Cushion. Introduced the Reduced Size Frame on all four sizes to help reduce pressure at the nasal bridge and improve seal at the chin. Added a new 10-point Fine Glider Adjuster with an extra 2 positions, ensuring it can now deliver an additional 25% of adjustment, providing more flexibility for the right fit. Now supplied in a colour printed bag made of 100% recyclable materials for improve sustainability.

Hope2Sleep's observations from personal experience are:-

• Lightweight, compared to a lot of other full face masks.
• Very easy to adjust the angle of the mask with the button forehead adjuster - you simply press the button and push or pull.
• Since the release of the newer gel mask cushion version the Amara experience is even better (and most other people find this to be the case).
• Comfortable headgear.
• Due to the fact that the cushion is extended from the actual mask frame (see pictures) when moving in bed the cushion swivels with your face, thus preventing the frame digging in and helping minimise leaks too.
• Very easy to assemble and disassemble resulting in it being easy to clean.

The Amara Full Face Mask is available in four sizes with a gel or silicone cushion.

Both cushion types offer a dual wall design which provides a comfortable, stable seal.

The Silicone Cushion offers a more traditional seal.  As the air flows to the mask the thin outer silicone flap of the cushion seals against the face while the inner wall supports and stabilizes the mask position.

The Gel Cushion features the comfort and contoured fit for which gel is known.  The outer gel flap conforms to the user's face while the thicker inner wall molds to the face to support and stabilize the seal.

All size cushions in both gel and silicone are compatible with the Amara frame and headgear.

The cushion snaps on and off the frame easily for cleaning and changing cushions.

Both the Gel and Silicone variations are offered as follows :-

• Petite (petite cushion + reduced size headgear)
• Small (small cushion + reduced size headgear)
• Medium (medium cushion + standard headgear)
• Large (large cushion, + standard headgear)

Spare or Replacement Mask Cushions can be purchased separately, and it is crucial to get the correct size for this mask.  The cushions are generous in sizing, so please don't guess your size.

We have Sizing Gauges available for a small cost. (If you are deciding between 2 sizes it is better to go smaller with this mask).

Philips Respironics say:-

Amara's innovative, modular design is lighter, smaller, and has significantly fewer parts than leading traditional full-face masks. In fact, it requires just a single click to disassemble and reassemble the cushion and the mask frame for quick cleaning and replacement.

Philips Respironics have redefined the full-face mask, making it easy to fit and easy to live with - plus it is designed and built to the exacting standards you would expect from Philips.

ORDERS

We try our best to ship all orders received by us Monday-Friday on the same working day if received before 12 noon, and more often than not orders processed before 3 pm will be despatched the same day whenever possible.  Weekend or UK bank holiday orders are sent out the next working day.  An automated email is sent when products have been despatched so please check your spam box and add us to your safe senders list.  Also, if you do not receive an email confirmation, please check that you have typed the correct email address in your account.

All orders are sent via 1st class mail within the UK.  Masks and some other more expensive products are always sent via 'signed for' insured delivery and cannot be left in 'safe' places, but there is the option for an alternative shipping address when processing the orders.   International orders are sent via tracked Airmail, and whilst we're happy to ship internationally, we cannot be held responsible for any charges that may be added in your own country.

Delivery charges are worked out automatically by weight and you can clearly see the delivery charges before purchase.  On the rare occasion delivery charges are miscalculated by the website, a refund will be sent, as it is not our policy to make money on postage charges and neither do we add the cost of delivery into the price and offer so-called  'free delivery' like some sites and Ebay pressurise sellers to do!

Wherever possible with larger parcels, we try to re-use boxes to keep shipping costs down and protect the environment.

If a product is out of stock and the order contains multiple items, the 'in stock' items will be sent immediately and further items will follow upon arrival with no further postage charges incurred.  

RETURNS

Masks and most products cannot be exchanged, unless faulty, due to health and hygiene issues, in accordance with the Consumer Contracts Regulations, (as stated in our 'Terms and Conditions' ) and where you will find our return address, so if you are unsure about any product please contact us BEFORE purchase or BEFORE opening a sealed packet.

Unopened (sealed) products in their original packing can be returned within 14 days for a refund of the product cost, but the purchaser is to pay the return postage, and we would advise retaining proof of postage.  This excludes any faulty goods, for which postage will be reimbursed.  A full refund for the price of the product will be issued when received by us, less the original postage charges when the order was sent to you.

VAT DECLARATION/INFORMATION

1. You or the person you are purchasing on behalf of have "a condition which the medical profession treats as a chronic sickness," (sleep apnoea and sleep disordered breathing, which require therapy, are such conditions).

We cannot advise on individual cases, but more information can be found on HMRC’s website under notice 701/7 on the following link  https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/vat-notice-7017-vat-reliefs-for-disabled-people. 

If you are purchasing on behalf of someone else who meets the above criteria, you must provide their name and address, and you will be prompted of this during the checkout process.

Customers living outside of Europe do not pay UK VAT charges, so please leave the the 'zero rate eligibility' box ticked.  However, we cannot be held responsible for any additional costs incurred when the products reach your own country.

If you are purchasing with the intention of re-selling any products, you are liable to pay VAT on all products so you must untick the 'zero rate eligibility' box which will add VAT to your order.

Any products that our not eligible for zero rate VAT, will not display the VAT Declaration, and VAT will be added at checkout.
