4 Ways to Stick to CPAP Daily

Have you ever slept without your CPAP for a night and felt “off” the next day? Sleep apnea can wreak havoc on your body if it is left untreated. A recent study from Johns Hopkins Medicine showed that going without your CPAP for even 2 days can cause drastic increases in blood sugar, blood pressure, and stress hormones.*

It can be difficult to stick to CPAP daily. But CPAP becomes so much easier to use when you have the right therapy equipment.

1. Find the right mask.

From left to right: AirFit P10, AirFit N20, Simplus.

We make it easy to find the right mask for you. Based on customer feedback and our experience, we recommend these 3 masks because they work very well for a broad range of CPAP users. If you want custom recommendations, contact us and we will be more than happy to help.

The AirFit P10 Nasal Pillow Mask is light, quiet, and accommodates all sleeping positions. The AirFit N20 Nasal Mask has an exceptional seal, can be taken off and put on easily because of the magnetic headgear clips, and is great for people who can’t stand masks that fit inside their nostrils. For users who breathe through their mouths while sleeping, the Simplus Full Face Mask is one of the most reliable and stable masks available.

Easy Breathe will issue 100% store credit for any mask returned within 30 days of the purchase date, even if you used it. So if you get the wrong size of a mask you love otherwise, you can contact us to exchange it.

2. Stock up on spare parts.

When you run out of mask cushions, or something breaks, do you go for days or even weeks without your CPAP? Prevent future CPAP woes by stocking up now on headgear, cushions, tubes, and other important replacement parts.

3. Keep your CPAP clean.

No one likes to sleep with a dirty CPAP, but who has time to clean everything by hand? The SoClean 2 is a CPAP Cleaner and Sanitizer that has helped many sleep apnea sufferers get back on track with their CPAP therapy.

One of our customers expressed how the SoClean made it so much easier for them to use their CPAP (and he’s not the only one):

“I am a believer! I couldn’t seem to keep up with the manually cleaning my machine and often, the cleaners would put me into a sneezing fit. It got to the point where I couldn’t think about using my machine. Now, it’s like having a small miracle occur. No effort to clean? What more can you ask for? With a slight odor? Who cares?? I just have to put my mask and hose into the machine and it does the rest. No allergic reactions, no manual cleaning, no negatives to speak of. I can wear it every night without worry leading to much more positive results. Worth every penny…and then some.”

4. Upgrade to a CPAP that adjusts to your breathing.

If you feel like you are fighting your CPAP to breathe out, or swallowing air because the pressure is too high, then you should consider upgrading to an Auto CPAP machine. The ResMed AirSense 10 is our best-selling Auto CPAP because it is one of the quietest and most comfortable CPAP machines out there. The AirSense 10 detects your every breath and adjusts its pressure to your breathing so that the pressure is always high enough to keep your airway open, but low enough to maximize your comfort.
