The most popular CPAP machines

If you suffer from obstructive sleep apnea, a treatment device, known as a CPAP or Continuous Positive Airway Pressure machine can assist you with getting a better-quality sleep by delivering pressurised air to keep your airways open during the night.

These devices are the main component of your therapy, and are designed to give you a more natural breathing experience, offering quiet therapy and user-friendly technology to enhance your comfort and ease of use.

Different types of CPAP machines

There are two main types:

• The Fixed Pressure CPAP machine which delivers pressurised air at one fixed level.
• The Automatic CPAP machine adjusts the pressure levels based on a patient's breathing patterns.

They look very similar on the surface, but how they perform can make a difference. The product type that best suits you depends greatly on your treatment requirements and personal preferences.

Here are two of the most popular and latest CPAP Machines to help you decide.
