Replacing your CPAP equipment on time can be a hassle. Between filters that need monthly changes, cushions that wear out unexpectedly, and tubing that requires regular maintenance, managing your sleep therapy supplies feels a lot like solving a puzzle.

We believe it’s time to change that.

That's why we're excited to introduce Sleep Subscriptions–a straightforward solution for maintaining your essential CPAP supplies. Think of it as your very own sleep therapy shopper, ensuring you always have fresh, clean components exactly when you need them.

What you need to know about our Sleep Subscription program

  • Sleep Subscriptions make it easy to keep up with CPAP supply deliveries.
  • Enjoy 10% lifetime savings on every subscription order, double Sleep Points rewards, and free shipping on orders over $99
  • Set your own delivery pace so you always have fresh, clean equipment.

Why is managing CPAP supplies so challenging?

Without a streamlined system, maintaining your CPAP supplies becomes a complex juggling act that takes time away from what matters most - your rest and well-being.

Each part has its own replacement schedule

First, each part has its own replacement schedule. Like most CPAP mask cushions, some filters need to be replaced as often as every 1-3 months. Meanwhile, some filters require much more frequent schedules, sometimes even once every 2 weeks. That doesn’t even begin to touch on tubing, water chambers, or mask headgear.

Some pieces of CPAP equipment wear out faster than others

Sometimes even small changes to your environment, therapy, or sleep routine can affect how quickly your gear wears out. Maybe you changed your sleeping position, started using a new facial cream, or even got a new pet.

As each of these pieces interact with your home, therapy system, and body, they begin to age. So it’s important to keep an eye out for signs of wear and tear, as this timing can change throughout the year. Keep in mind these signs can differ for each part.

Signs your CPAP equipment needs to be replaced

  • Bad odor

  • Cloudiness

  • Yellowing

  • Air leaks

  • Irritation

Waiting too long to replace old pieces can lead to problems

As you can see, this can quickly become a confusing process, but it’s important to maintain a consistent replacement rotation. Tracking all these schedules on your own can lead to oversights that result in forgotten orders and missed replacements. It’s easy to accidentally wait too long to change out your CPAP equipment, which can lead to problems.

Why choose a Sleep Subscription?

With Sleep Subscriptions, you can forget about tracking replacement dates or worrying about worn-out supplies. So you can rest easy knowing you’ll have everything you need to keep your equipment in working order.

When you let us handle the scheduling, you get fresh, clean supplies exactly when you want them and at a discount price.

The importance of replacing your CPAP parts on time

Regular CPAP maintenance isn't just about keeping your equipment clean—it's about ensuring your therapy remains as effective as possible and with minimal side effects.

Improves therapy effectiveness

When CPAP components wear out or become compromised, they can significantly reduce your therapy's effectiveness:

  • Worn mask cushions can create air leaks, preventing you from receiving your prescribed pressure

  • Clogged filters can restrict airflow, making your device work harder to deliver proper therapy

  • Degraded tubing can develop small leaks that compromise pressure delivery

Better health and hygiene 

Maintaining clean, fresh CPAP supplies is essential for your respiratory health:

  • Regular replacements help prevent exposure to bacteria, mold, and allergens

  • Fresh filters protect your airways from harmful particles and pollutants

  • New mask cushions reduce the risk of skin irritation and breakouts

Longer equipment lifespan

Proper maintenance extends the life of your investment into CPAP therapy:

  • Regular component replacement prevents unnecessary strain on your CPAP machine

  • Timely maintenance helps avoid costly emergency replacements

  • Well-maintained equipment typically requires fewer repairs

Improved sleep quality 

Fresh, properly functioning equipment contributes to better sleep:

  • Consistent pressure delivery ensures uninterrupted therapy throughout the night

  • Comfortable, well-fitting masks reduce sleep disruptions from leaks or discomfort

  • Clean components promote easier breathing and better rest

How often should you replace your CPAP equipment?

Understanding when to replace your CPAP supplies is crucial for maintaining effective therapy. One issue we’ve noticed is that everyone seems to have their own recommendations for a replacement schedule.

After reviewing industry standards and manufacturer suggestions, we’ve developed a comprehensive guide to replacing common sleep therapy parts. Keep in mind this is intended to be a general guide, but individual pieces may differ. 

Replacing Machine Parts

Replacement Schedule What to Watch For Purpose
Disposable filters 2-4 weeks Darkening, unpleasant odor, visible partible buildup Keeps your CPAP air clean and free of irritants
Reusable filters 6 months Regular cleaning to remove buildup and odor; replace if damaged or cleaning is not removing smell or debris Keeps your CPAP air clean and free of irritants
Standard tubing 3 months Inspect for cracks, tears, or interior residue Delivers therapy air from the machine to your airway
Heated tubing 3-6 months Damage to heating elements, reduced heat output, changes to Climate Control function, cracks, tears, residue Delivers therapy air from the machine to your airway while maintaining the temperature of your CPAP air
Water chamber 6 months Check for mineral buildup or cracks Maintains proper humidification for your CPAP air

Replacing Mask Parts

Replacement Schedule What to Watch For Purpose
