APAP

Automatic positive airway pressure (APAP) machines use complex algorithms to analyze your breathing patterns, allowing them to deliver increased comfort and the most effective air pressure level from breath to breath. Explore the best APAP machines on the market below.

BiPAP

Unlike the single air pressure level of CPAP machines, bi-level positive airway pressure (BiPAP) machines change from a higher level when you breathe in to a lower level when you exhale. If you need a BiPAP machine for sleep apnea or another condition, browse the options below to find a machine that fits your unique needs.

ASV

Adaptive servo-ventilation (ASV) machines are highly specialized and use advanced technology to automatically adjust air pressure levels to stay one step ahead of apnea events. Although they might seem similar to APAP machines, ASV machines include additional support and are mostly used to treat central sleep apnea and complex sleep apnea. Browse our selection of ASV machines below.

Travel Machines

Travel CPAP machines make it easy to keep up with your CPAP therapy no matter where you are. In addition to being small and light enough to slip into your luggage, many are also approved by the FAA for in-flight use and have travel-friendly features like waterless humidification.

  • Fixed Pressure

    A CPAP machine delivers one continuous pressure level of air which is set depending on your needs by a licensed professional.

  • Auto-Adjusting Pressure

    An APAP machine adjusts the air pressure throughout the night based on your breathing patterns, providing a more personalized and comfortable treatment experience than a CPAP machine.

  • Two Air Pressures

    A BiPAP machine delivers two levels of air pressure, one for inhalation and one for exhalation, which is important for more sever cases of obstructive sleep apnea.

  • Portable

    Portable CPAPs offer many of the same benefits as a traditional machine with the convenience of being much smaller, perfect for when your travel and need sleep relief.

What is a CPAP machine, and how does it work?

A CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) machine is a medical device designed to treat sleep apnea. It works by delivering a continuous and gentle stream of air pressure through a mask worn over the nose, mouth, or both. This keeps the airway open, preventing interruptions in breathing during sleep.

Who can benefit from using a CPAP machine?

CPAP machines are primarily used to treat obstructive sleep apnea, a condition where the airway becomes blocked during sleep. Individuals with symptoms like loud snoring, daytime fatigue, and interrupted breathing may benefit from using a CPAP machine.

Are there different types of CPAP machines available?

Yes, there are various types of CPAP machines to suit individual needs. Some models offer fixed pressure, while others have auto-adjusting pressure settings based on the user's breathing patterns. Additionally, some machines are compact and travel-friendly, making them convenient for those on the go.

What is the difference between APAP and CPAP?

APAP (auto-adjusting positive airway pressure) automatically adjusts air pressure based on breathing patterns, while CPAP delivers constant pressure. CPAP has a fixed setting, while APAP adapts to individual needs.

What is the difference between BiPAP and CPAP?

The main difference between CPAP and BiPAP (bilevel positive airway pressure) is how they deliver air pressure during sleep apnea treatment. CPAP provides a constant and continuous stream of air pressure to keep the airway open, which is ideal for individuals with obstructive sleep apnea.

BiPAP, on the other hand, delivers two distinct levels of air pressure: a higher level during inhalation and a lower level during exhalation. This dual-pressure system is often prescribed for individuals with more complex sleep apnea or those who have trouble exhaling against the higher CPAP pressure.

How do I choose the right CPAP machine for me?

Selecting the right CPAP machine depends on your specific requirements, prescribed pressure, and personal preferences. Our experienced customer support team can guide you through the selection process to find the most suitable option for your needs.

Do I need a prescription to purchase a CPAP machine?

Yes, you need a valid prescription to purchase a CPAP machine. If you don't already have one through your doctor, don't worry. After you place your order, we will connect you with our third-party independent network of board-certified sleep providers for a complimentary consultation to obtain your prescription.

How much does a CPAP machine cost and will insurance cover it?

The average cost of a CPAP machine is $800 and the average cost of a BiPAP machine is $1,350. The price of a CPAP machine can vary based on factors such as the brand, model, features, and included accessories. At Sleep Doctor, you'll discover a diverse selection of CPAP machines available at different price points, catering to various budgets and needs.

It's important to note that some insurance plans may cover part or all of the cost of a CPAP machine for individuals diagnosed with sleep apnea. If you have insurance coverage, be sure to check with your provider about the available benefits and any specific requirements for CPAP machine reimbursement. At this time, Sleep Doctor does not accept insurance payments. However, we can provide the invoices necessary for you to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement.

Where can I buy a CPAP machine?

You can buy a CPAP machine through your healthcare provider and insurance coverage or from an online store like Sleep Doctor. A CPAP prescription is necessary for purchase in both cases.
