When shopping for your CPAP essentials online, seeing distributors offering products at differing prices can be confusing (and tempting). You may wonder: how and why are these places selling supplies for less? Why do supplies cost more on authorized websites than they do on Ebay, Amazon, and Facebook? Could there really be risks in buying a product that's priced lower? In this blog, we’ll walk you through the answers to these questions (and provide some harsh realities of buying from non-authorized sellers that are sometimes not talked about). We'll also cover the best practices for buying CPAP products online in the safest way for you!

Ask around about people’s favorite CPAP machine and you’re bound to run into folks who swear by an APAP instead. They’ll tell you it’s life-changing.

Well, it turns out there are some very good reasons for both. Today, we’ll take a look at the difference between APAP vs CPAP, and which is better for you.
