Before You Buy an AirCurve 11, Meet the Luna
Both are auto-adjusting BiPAPs with a heated humidifier and heated tubing. One brings ResMed's polished myAir app. The other keeps $250 in your pocket. Here's how to decide.
The BiPAP you know, and the one worth knowing.
Ask most BiPAP users what they sleep with and you'll hear one name: ResMed. The AirCurve 11 VAuto is its newest bilevel machine, and it has earned that reputation.
React Health's Luna G3 BPAP 25A gets less attention, but at night it covers the same ground: two separate pressures that adjust on their own, plus a heated humidifier and heated tubing in the box. The real question is whether ResMed's extras are worth $250 to you.
At a Glance
- Two pressures, in and out, that adjust automatically on both machines
- A heated humidifier and heated tubing come with each one
- ResMed's edge: the myAir app, which syncs on its own and scores your sleep daily
- $1,999 for the Luna, $2,249 for the AirCurve 11

Keep the mask you love. Both machines use the standard hose connection, so the mask you wear today, from any brand, will fit either one.
What you get with either one
Strip away the logos and the nightly experience is remarkably close.
Breathing out feels easier on both. That's the whole point of a BiPAP: one pressure to help you breathe in, and a lower one so you aren't exhaling against a wall of air. Both machines fine-tune those pressures through the night on their own, and both reach the same maximum pressure setting.
Warm, comfortable air, set for you. A heated humidifier is built into each, heated tubing comes in the box, and both offer an automatic humidity mode to keep dryness and hose condensation in check.
Quiet, hands-off, and protected. At about 26 dB, either one is close to silent on the nightstand. Both start up when you breathe into the mask, and both come with a 2-year warranty.
What sets them apart
Therapy is a tie. The real tradeoff is tech versus savings.
The AirCurve 11 is built for connection. ResMed's myAir app scores your sleep every day, coaches you along, and helps you troubleshoot mask leaks. It syncs with your phone automatically, and paired with a color touchscreen, it's the more connected experience. That's where the extra money goes.
The Luna is built for simplicity. Everything runs from a color screen and a dial, and when you want to check your results, you scan a QR code on the screen with the React Health PLUS app. Pre-heat warms the humidifier water before bedtime, auto ramp senses when you've dozed off, and built-in reminders tell you when to swap your filter, tubing, and mask. It ships with a carrying case, too.
The bottom line on cost. With the Luna, you get the same core BiPAP therapy and keep $250.

Your plan may cover a new BiPAP.
Before you pay out of pocket, check your benefits. Many plans replace a BiPAP on a regular schedule, and plenty of people never use that benefit. We'll look up your coverage for free in about 60 seconds, no strings attached. FSA and HSA cards are welcome too.
Coverage varies by plan. We verify in real time and bill insurance directly, so you pay only what your plan requires.
