Sleep apnea machines fall into four main categories, and the right one depends on your prescription and how your sleep apnea presents:

Auto Pressure CPAP Machines (APAP) are the most commonly prescribed option for obstructive sleep apnea. Rather than delivering a single fixed pressure all night, an auto-adjusting machine monitors your breathing in real time and raises or lowers the pressure as needed. This means you get exactly the pressure your airway requires at any given moment — no more, no less — which most users find more comfortable, particularly in the early weeks of therapy.

Fixed Pressure CPAP Machines deliver a constant, prescribed pressure throughout the night. They're straightforward, reliable, and often more affordable. If your sleep specialist has given you a specific pressure setting, a fixed pressure machine will deliver it precisely every night.

Travel Sized CPAP Machines offer full therapy capability in a compact, lightweight form — most are FAA-approved for in-flight use. They're ideal for frequent travellers who don't want to compromise their therapy on the road, or as a secondary machine to complement your home setup.

BiPAP / BiLevel Machines use two distinct pressure settings — one for breathing in, one for breathing out — making exhalation noticeably easier. They're most commonly prescribed for patients who struggle to exhale against standard CPAP pressure, or those with more complex breathing conditions such as central sleep apnoea or COPD.

If you're still weighing up your options, our guide to choosing the right CPAP machine covers the key decision points in detail. And if you'd prefer a complete setup from day one, our CPAP package deals bundle a machine with a compatible mask and accessories at better-than-separate pricing.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right CPAP machine?

The right CPAP machine depends on three things: your prescribed therapy type, your sleep study results, and your lifestyle. For most newly diagnosed users with obstructive sleep apnea, an auto-adjusting (APAP) machine is the standard recommendation — it adapts to changes in your breathing, sleep position and congestion automatically. If you've been prescribed BiPAP / BiLevel therapy, a standard CPAP won't be appropriate.

Do you sell refurbished or second-hand CPAP machines?

We occasionally have refurbished CPAP machines available on a case-by-case basis — these are professionally serviced units rather than open-box returns. Stock varies. If you're specifically after a refurbished machine, contact our team to ask what's currently available. We do not offer CPAP machine rentals — sales only.
