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.
Reduced CPAP therapy effectiveness
Higher likelihood of unpleasant CPAP side effects
Poor sleep quality

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 | |
---|---|---|---|
Cushions & Seals | 1-3 months | Discoloration, stiffness, or loss of seal | Essential for maintaining proper mask fit and preventing air leaks |
Mask Frame | 3 months | Cracks, wear at connection points | Ensures a stable and effective seal to prevent air leaks |
Headgear | 6 months | Stretched straps or weak Velcro | Maintains proper mask position |
Chinstrap | 6 months | Overstretched material, unpleasant odor, loose Velcro | Ensures proper mouth closure during therapy |
