Even the smallest CPAP leak can cause big problems—disrupting your therapy, increasing noise, and even drying out your airways. If you’re waking up tired despite using your CPAP, a weak seal could be the culprit. Let’s fix it before your sleep suffers even more.
1. Stay on top of replacing your supplies.
Over time, CPAP supplies naturally wear out, compromising the seal between your mask and skin. For the best performance:
- Full face mask cushions should be replaced monthly
- Nasal cushions and pillows need changing every two weeks
- Full face mask cushions should be replaced monthly
- Nasal cushions and pillows need changing every two weeks
Most insurance providers follow this same schedule, meaning you can replace your supplies at little to no cost while ensuring optimal CPAP performance. Taking advantage of insurance coverage helps you stay on track with a regular replacement routine.
Your new CPAP supplies could be yours for $0!

2. Upgrade to a smart CPAP with automatic mask adjustments.
Modern CPAPs can adjust settings based on your mask type. If you switch mask styles without updating your settings, your pressure may be off, leading to mask leaks.
The AirSense 11 CPAP automatically detects and adjusts to your mask and includes advanced comfort settings:
- Auto-titration: Smart algorithm automatically adjusts your therapy pressure as your needs change
- Humidification: 7 levels of humidity and an optional heated tube ensures you don’t dry out
