You’ve probably seen both terms — “CPAP” and “BiLevel.” But what exactly do they mean?
CPAPs | BiLevels |
---|---|
CPAPs only regulate one pressure setting, so the pressure when you breathe in and out is the same. | BiLevels have two controlled pressure settings, one for when you inhale and one for when you exhale. |

People with pressure needs between 4 cm H20 and 20 cm H20 can usually use CPAPs without any issue! | People who need higher pressure settings or people who have trouble tolerating high pressures when they exhale often sleep better with a BiLevel. |
Your doctor will give you a prescription for a CPAP if you have Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). | Your doctor will give you a prescription for a BiLevel if you have Central Sleep Apnea (CSA) or if you have additional health conditions. |

You can use any mask of your choice with your CPAP machine. | Great news! You can use the same masks with BiLevels as you do with CPAPs. |
Your CPAP comes with a humidifier. | More great news! BiLevels use the same humidifiers as CPAPs as well. |
All of the best-selling home CPAP machines have BiLevel equivalents! Here are a few of our favorites:
