Last week, we asked our CPAP community a simple question in one of our emails: When was the last time you replaced your CPAP mask?
The responses were eye-opening. Many CPAP users are replacing their masks far less often than recommended. Want to know how your replacement habits compare to other CPAP users? We’ve broken down the results and highlighted the most important steps you can take to keep your CPAP therapy effective and comfortable.

Here's the breakdown of the last time CPAP users like you last replaced their mask:
Our results revealed that the majority of CPAP users haven’t replaced their masks in a year or longer, or don’t remember when they last replaced.
Seeing these numbers, it’s clear that many CPAP users are in the same boat — putting off mask replacement longer than they should. But here’s the catch: using an old mask isn’t just an inconvenience, it’s a barrier to good sleep. Below we outline the consequences of neglecting your mask replacements and the recommended schedule.

Have questions about our insurance process? We have answers…
Easy Breathe is one of the only online CPAP providers able to bill insurance. We work with most major insurance carriers, including the ones below:
Because Easy Breathe is able to be an out-of-network provider for these insurance companies, we can help CPAP patients with different insurance carriers in all 50 states instead of being limited to one service area.
And it gets better! Many people going through their insurance worry about getting stuck with the bill after receiving their equipment. Unlike many out-of-network providers, Easy Breathe does not balance-bill patients for the amount that their insurance company denies or does not cover. We will never send you an additional bill for your order once it has shipped.
You may have struggled with insurance before. It often times extremely confusing and time consuming. Well, we've got good news -- Easy Breathe will do it all for you! We deal directly with insurance companies so that you don't have to do any extra work.
Everyone's insurance plan is different, so the first step is finding out your plan's coverage details. We just need a few pieces of crucial information in order to contact your insurance provider and check your benefits.
This service is completely free of cost and obligation. Please click the "Check Your insurance Coverage" button to get started!
Your work is done! After we have information about your benefits, we will reach out to you and give you a detailed quote for all the supplies you are looking for!
After you purchase your supplies, you're all set and your supplies will ship to you in a matter of days! We will file a claim with your insurance without any extra effort from you. Even if our quote was incorrect or if things do not work out as planned with your insurance company, we will not charge you for that order again.*
*The only circumstance in which a second invoice will be sent to you is if the insurance company mails the payment check for your order to you instead of to us - which sometimes happens because we are out-of-network. In this case, we will only invoice you for the amount of the check that you are depositing on our behalf. Alternatively, you can always contact our billing department and mail that check to us instead. If you are ever confused about your payment or our policy, we are more than happy to answer your questions at (866) 564-2252.
CPAP supplies need to be regularly replaced, and insurance can help with that! Many CPAP users are unaware that their insurance covers not only their machine, but also the supplies that they go through each month. Almost all insurance companies follow the same replacement schedule for how often they will cover new equipment. We've created a list of that replacement schedule to make things a bit easier for you—click here to check it out.
There are a few other essential products that insurance unfortunately does not cover because they are not deemed necessary. These uncovered products include travel machines, cleaners, comfort products, and power supplies. However, we don't really share that sentiment. We think that these products are definitely necessary to getting your best night's sleep, every night. Here are some options to help you get these supplies more easily:
Regardless of your specific insurance coverage, we want to work with you to make it as easy as possible to get supplies you need. Many of our CPAP customers actually prefer to forgo insurance and use a few of our convenient, affordable services and offers to get their CPAP supplies quickly. Here are just three of our most popular services:
CPAP masks aren’t built to last forever. Over time, cushions lose their seal, headgear stretches, and small cracks can appear. These changes lead to air leaks, discomfort, and reduced therapy effectiveness — all of which can leave you feeling tired despite using your CPAP every night. Replacing your mask on schedule ensures your treatment stays comfortable, hygienic, and effective.
In general, insurance companies adhere to a common replacement timeline when it comes to CPAP masks and parts. This schedule is a good rule of thumb:
