Newly FDA cleared, the Bleep DreamPort Sleep Solution is a new mask option that eliminates headgear via adhesive strips that are flush to the nose instead. It is compatible with many existing CPAP devices (so long as they have a universal hose).
Sleep technologist and sleep apnea patient Stuart Heatherington, RPSGT, is the founder and CEO of Bleep. He says in a release, “Creating the Bleep DreamPort Sleep Solution may seem too good to be true to many. But our product isn’t some pipedream project—it actually works! After suffering from uncomfortable CPAP devices for decades, I knew that we needed to create something that works exactly the same as a traditional mask, but it fits comfortably and doesn’t restrict your movement, enabling a better night’s sleep.”
The DreamPort Sleep Solution consists of a DreamWay base unit and 32 pairs of disposable DreamPorts (a 1-month supply). The DreamWay unit is made up of a 10-inch hose and universal port which connects to existing 6- or 7-ft CPAP supply lines. The DreamPorts use a hypoallergenic surgical tape, manufactured by 3M, to keep the port in place (much like an adhesive bandage).
Before sleeping, patients peel the backing off each DreamPort, position over each nostril, and secure the adhesive to the shape of their nose. Once in position, snap the DreamPorts into the flexible DreamWay unit and connect to the supply line. Once in place, turn on the CPAP as normal.
According to Bleep, the adhesive strips leave no marks on a patient’s face. Application takes less than a minute and the lightweight design allows patients to sleep on their backs, sides, or stomachs comfortably.
“It’s simple,” Heatherington says. “We give a Bleep about sleep!”
Prior to the FDA clearance, Bleep launched an Indiegogo campaign that raised $3,405 from 35 backers. It will use the money to support product testing, better the user experience, accelerate manufacturing, and increase consumer awareness.
Well Done!!
Congratulations! Something that has been much needed! Looking forward to more information.

thankyou Bob Morton
Looking for more information costs etc
Sounds wonderful! I have been using a CPAP for almost two years. I would love to try a CPAP mask that doesn’t have straps!
need more information for this mask and cost
Sleep Restfully carries it. About $100 for the gear, and the sticky pads cost about $2.25/set, less if you buy more. I’m ordering some today.
will this help someone whose sleep apnea is caused from open mouth breathing and jaw sliding backward to close off airway? i have been diagnosed with osa, but am non compliant and won’t use a because i didn’t like the headgear. i have a mandibular repositioning device (a mouth guard), but i don’t like the way it makes my jaw ache. thank you, jim
18 years of going through a ton of different masks. Never found one to make it through a whole night with. Last was a full face because I breathe through my mouth, this was a nightmare. I found the Bleep looking on the web for new type. It is a life saver. Through the trial and I won’t ever go back. Hoping my insurance will cover it from here on in.
