3 Must-have CPAP Accessories under $15

CPAP Equipment and Accessories

As we mentioned before CPAP therapy comes with its discomforts. However, the CPAP industry keeps growing and investing more and more each year in developing CPAP therapy devices and accessories, and this is all done to make sure that CPAP therapy patients can sleep "normally" while using CPAP. As we all know, wearing (sometimes) bulky CPAP face mask, while connected to a CPAP hose and device, is not the greatest experience one can have; so we use better-suited masks (if possible), sleep apnea/CPAP pillows, hose management systems, cpap headgear strap covers (cpap comfort straps), chin straps, CPAP mask gels… In one of our previous articles, we listed 10 accessories you can use to reduce CPAP therapy discomfort and it's the one you should definitely read (if you haven't already); out of those 10, we have picked 3 cheap ones (under $15) that you should buy and give them a try.

3 Must-have CPAP Accessories Under $15

You might this that there is nothing useful for under $15, but don't let the low price rejects you, these come in really handy for any CPAP therapy user! You might not use them every day (although you could), but with a low price, it is an investment you should at least consider…

CPAP Strap cover

A CPAP face mask (especially a full face mask) is one of the 3 key parts of a CPAP device. Making sure that pressurized air is getting to your airways without any air leak is essential, so if the face mask isn’t sitting on your face as it should, your CPAP therapy might not be effective at all. Face mask straps are the part of the headgear that is holding the mask on your face, and by doing that it can cause discomfort, create a rash on your face, irritations, or leave red marks. Designed to prevent discomfort caused by CPAP mask straps, cpap mask strap covers are a simple yet highly effective accessory that in all its simplicity "gets the job done". They are usually made of breathable, soft, anti-allergenic material, and are simple to apply and use.

We recommend PrimeClean® CPAP Strap Covers as one of the best cpap strap covers on the market! They provide a perfect solution to mask strap skin irritations.

CPAP Tubing Wrap (tube or hose cover)

Although it might seem unimportant and excessive, tubing wrap is one of the most underappreciated CPAP accessories. Tubing wrap's purpose is not directly obvious and might feel too much if you live in the warmer areas, but once you try it and use it for several nights, you will learn to appreciate its value. As its name suggests it is used to wrap the CPAP tubing and insulate the hose. It is always made of soft plush-like, advanced materials that are good insulators.

The tubing wrap's main function is to maintain hose temperature slightly above room temperature, which has for effect reducing the amount of condensation within the tube, thus reducing or completely eliminating the uncomfortable CPAP rainout effect. Besides its main purpose to reduce condensation and rainout, tube wrap also has the purpose of protecting the tube/hose from outside mechanical damages, its soft material makes the contact between the skin and the tubing more pleasant, and it hides the medical appearance of the CPAP tubing that some people find unpleasant.

You can buy CPAP tubing wrap for around $10 and up to around $50.

CPAP Chinstrap

CPAP chinstrap is designed to keep the mouth closed while using a nasal or nasal pillow mask. The pressurized air delivered from the CPAP machine can cause the mouth to open (this can especially happen if prescribed a higher pressure setting), and this further leads to "air leaks" that significantly reduce the effects of CPAP therapy, and also cause waking up with a dry mouth and feeling tired. An extremely dry mouth and throat may be uncomfortable or painful, and chronic dryness may affect the health of your gums and teeth, per Verywell Health.

Chinstrap is usually made of a piece of synthetic, elastic, fabric, that is soft and pleasant for the skin. It is often fitted with velcro (or some simple mechanism) so that it can be secured around the lower jaw and top of the head. To make sure it is fitted perfectly and not slipping, some models may have a soft cup at the chin. Chinstraps are inexpensive often cost around $15, but can be more expensive depending on the model of course.

Honorable mention: CPAP Pillow

• CPAP pillow is definitely not under $15 but it's a fairly inexpensive CPAP accessory considering the value you get from it!

Being a CPAP therapy user is especially hard if you are a side sleeper! Using a full-face CPAP mask, combined with CPAP tubing, limits the possibility of any sleep activity and is making side sleeping almost impossible. If sleeping on your back the whole night is unimaginable for you, but you have been prescribed CPAP therapy and a full face mask, you should invest in CPAP Pillow. 

PrimeClean® CPAP Pillow comes at the price of only $49.90, a 30-day FREE TRIAL period, and FREE Shipping in the USA! It is an accessory designed according to your needs – we tested and interviewed over 5000 users and used their feedback to develop a CPAP pillow that will solve all your sleeping issues.

CPAP Therapy Should Improve Your Sleep

The main thing CPAP therapy does is prevent health issues caused by sleep apnea and improve your life quality. Quality sleep comes with comfort and having a good night's sleep is one of the key foundations for a healthy life! Comfort can be expensive, but more often than not, it can come with some small and inexpensive investments and improvements…
