As an online CPAP provider, we receive numerous questions regarding Sleep Apnea Therapy and CPAP/Bi-PAP use. Here in our Dear Easy Breathe posts, we share and answer the most common questions with all of our readers. Here is this season’s edition of Dear Easy Breathe.
Dear Easy Breathe,
I have been using CPAP for over ten years and it is definitely time to replace my machine and supplies. I am a long-time CPAP user but I do not have a prescription, nor do I have time to wait around for my doctor to write me one. Time is running out and my machine is on its last leg. How can I get a new CPAP quickly?
-Panicked in Pittsburgh
Dear Panicked in Pittsburgh,
Easy Breathe has the perfect solution for you: our easy CPAP prescription package can get you a new prescription in as little as two business days. All you have to do is order the prescription package and fill out a simple questionnaire. Once we receive the questionnaire back from you, we will forward it to one of our remote licensed physicians to write you a prescription, which will be good for 8 years. You can then use this prescription to get exactly what you need. Learn more about the CPAP prescription package by clicking here.
Dear Easy Breathe,
CPAP machines do wonders for a good night’s sleep, but it is such a hassle to clean everything daily by hand. If I am running late to work and don’t have time to clean in the morning, then I have to clean at night and wait for everything to dry before I sleep. I wish there was an easier way to clean my CPAP… it would be a godsend!

Dear Weary in Worcester,
You’re in luck! Easy Breathe offers the convenient and popular SoClean 2 CPAP sanitizer. The SoClean 2 device takes the time and hassle out of cleaning your supplies by hand everyday. All you have to do is drop your mask in the machine, and then the machine does the rest of the work for you! You can use the SoClean 2 on a daily basis, and also wipe down your mask periodically to remove any facial oil residue. The SoClean 2 is simple, user-friendly, and highly praised by many CPAP users.
Dear Easy Breathe,
How can I find a mask that is most comfortable for me? I currently have a mask that I absolutely can’t stand! I thought using a CPAP was supposed to make me sleep better, but I just end up pulling off my mask in my sleep. Please help!

Dear Distraught in Denver,
We understand that it can be difficult to find a mask that works best for you, especially given the wide selection that Easy Breathe has to offer. To make things easier for our customers, we have created a Mask Finder tool. Simply follow the flow of questions for a mask recommendation based on your answers. You can also check out our best-selling masks by clicking here.
Dear Easy Breathe,
I am a bit old school when it comes to CPAP. My trusty ResMed S8 Elite II has been a loyal companion to me all these years. However, it is probably time to upgrade my machine. What can you tell me about these new auto CPAPs I keep hearing about?
-Curious in Cleveland
Dear Curious in Cleveland,
We’re glad you asked! Auto-titrating CPAP machines are the newest types of CPAP on the market. These CPAPs automatically adjust according to your breathing, so they do not require a fixed pressure setting. The auto-titrating CPAP essentially breathes with you, giving you the best sleep you can possibly get! Our best-selling auto CPAP is the AirSense 10. This machine is well known for its user-friendly interface and ultra-quiet therapy. It’s no wonder the AirSense 10 is so popular among our customers!
Dear Easy Breathe,
I love my CPAP machine, but the cost of replacing my supplies on a regular basis adds up. Does Easy Breathe take insurance so that I can get my supplies at a lower cost?
-Thrifty in Tacoma
Dear Thrifty in Tacoma,
Easy Breathe can bill most PPO type plans. We can check your insurance benefits with us to find out exactly what new supplies would cost under your plan. All you have to do is fill out an insurance verification form and we will get to you within the next business day to inform you of your benefits. This insurance verification service is absolutely free and in no way obligates you to purchase from us.
