PLEASE NOTE - The manufacturer has now discontinued their Joyce SilkGel Masks, so once our stock is all sold we will be unable to get further supplies.

This is the SilkGel version of these very robust and well-made German masks and it really is soft and silky against the skin.


PLEASE NOTE - The manufacturer has now discontinued their Joyce SilkGel Masks, so once our stock is all sold we will be unable to get further supplies.

The Joyce SilkGel Full Face Mask is a gel variant of the proven masks in the Joyce family (also available as a nasal mask).  The high degree of wearing comfort distinguishes the custom-assembled mask. The mask cushion and the forehead cushion have been given a high-quality coating called WEINMANN SilkTec that makes the smooth surface soft and silky for guaranteed comfort. The gel forehead cushion and the headgear with optimised design add the perfect finishing touches to the SilkGel masks.

The new SilkTec coating gives the Weinmann Joyce SilkGel Full Face Mask the smoothest and softest surface yet seen on a CPAP mask. 


Hope2Sleep's Observations:-

As well as all the Joyce range of masks being of a good quality German design and very robust, the fact that several of  the Joyce full face mask cushions being interchangeable is a huge benefit - in that some of the different cushions on the various Joyce masks can all be replaced on the same frame.  This includes this SilkGel mask for which the cushions of the original Joyce, Joyce Gel and Joyce Plus can be used with this mask and vice versa.

SilkGel really is a good title for this mask, as it has the gel features loved by many, yet with the added 'silky' and softer feel against the skin and there is also a soft gel forehead cushion for added comfort.


Lowenstein says:-

Therapy convenience

  • All-around movable ball-and-socket joint for freedom of movement and a sure and stable mask fit.
  • The very quiet exhalation system promotes restful sleep for patient and sleeping partner.
  • Unique modular design ensures a perfect fit as nearly all silicone and gel components can be combined with each other.
  • Pressure range of 4 to 40 cm.
  • The quick-release cord, which allows fast detachment of the mask, is optionally available for all JOYCE Full Face SilkGel masks.

Operating ease and wearing comfort

  • Greater wearing comfort, thanks to the high-quality coating WEINMANN SilkTec.  It ensures a silky soft feeling onthe face and reduces shear force.
  • Extremely easy to clean because hardly anything (perspiration and the like) adheres to the smooth surface.
  • Easy to manage headgear:  The optimized design and the color-coded hook-and-loop fasteners make the headgear even easier to handle.
  • Tube anchoring strap on the headgear as extra fastening option for device tube.
  • Additional storage and transport bag.
  • Only gel mask with ball-and-socket joint.
  • Mask cushion and forehead cushion of gel.
  • Available in sizes Small, Medium or Large.

So Soft
08 October 2021  | 

I was a little scared ordering a mask I'd never heard of, but desperate as couldn't get hold of the clinic or find my usual F20 mask to buy. Love this one even better though as it feels so soft against my skin and seals very well too. So pleased I found this and took the risk.

Very Disappointing
26 September 2021  | 

This is my 4th mask and the most disappointing. The headgear has four instantly detachable fixings (my other headgear has two detachable and two permanent but adjustable fixings). You would need to be a contortionist to put this mask on! Also, there in no easy disconnection/reconnection mask/tube facility (as provided on my other masks) to facilitate bathroom visits. If you have any degree of arthritis in your hands or upper body the fixings are impossible to use. The face mask is not impressive compared to my other masks. The manufacturer's promotional video is misleading. I have persevered with this mask, but feel that it has no redeeming features, and is impossible to use. It is now gathering dust, and was a waste of time and money.

Response:

This is disappointing to hear, and especially as a lot of people do like this mask and it's a shame they've not left reviews themselves. Sadly what mask works for one person doesn't always work for another, and with you having so much problem finding a suitable mask it really would be best to only purchase one you've previously tried. Hopefully your clinic can help with this.

ORDERS

Shipping

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 3pm 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. 

Delivery charges are worked out automatically by weight and you can clearly see the delivery charges before making a payment.  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.  

Important for International Orders

We can ship most products internationally, but all prices are in UK British Pounds and if paying by debit or credit card the bank will automatically convert to the current conversation rate.  Likewise, if you choose the Paypal option, they will convert into your currency for you as payment is made.  

International orders are sent via tracked Airmail, and whilst we're happy to ship internationally, we cannot be held responsible for any delays at Customs at your end, or charges that may be added in your own country, such as customs fees and import tax on delivery, which are determined by your country’s import laws and are beyond our control. Therefore, it is the customer’s responsibility to pay these charges, and certain courier companies will not be able to deliver the goods to you without pre-payment of any charges. From our experience, it appears to be randomised as to which parcels incur extra charges, but please know that all accompanying paperwork is filled in correctly when shipping and there is nothing more we can do, as much as we'd like to.

If you purchase from us out of the UK or you move to another country after purchasing products, please be aware that the warranty for CPAP machines, masks and parts from the manufacturers are under warranty  with the manufacturer based in the UK, so you will be responsible for sending the product back to us and will need to pay postage to get the product back to you after exchange or repair, as the manufacturer will not pay for shipping in any country outside of the UK.


RETURNS

Masks, CPAP machines and and most other products are exempt from a refund or exchange unless faulty due to health and hygiene issues - as stated in our 'Terms and Conditions', and in particular due to the risk of cross contamination as they cannot be re-sold. The Consumer Contracts Regulations 28.(3)(a) confirms exemption as follows:-  "exemption in the case of a contract for the supply of sealed goods which are not suitable for return due to health protection or hygiene reasons, if they become unsealed after delivery."

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.

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 the UK do not pay UK VAT charges, so please leave the the VAT Relief 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.
