CPAP Therapy for Sleep Apnoea
CPAP therapy (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) is the gold standard treatment for moderate to severe sleep apnoea. It works by gently delivering air pressure to keep your airway open while you sleep, allowing you to breathe normally throughout the night. CPAP therapy has transformed the lives of thousands of people by improving sleep quality, daytime energy, mood, and long-term health.
- Modern machines: Today’s CPAP machines are quieter, smaller, and easier to use.
- Portable options: Travel‑friendly models are available for people who need CPAP on the go.
- Comfortable masks: Masks come in different styles, from small nasal pillows that sit under the nostrils to full‑coverage masks. Each is designed for comfort and to suit different sleeping styles.
Starting CPAP Therapy
If you're new to CPAP, we offer two flexible options so you can begin therapy with confidence
- CPAP Trial: Trial CPAP therapy for up to four weeks, allowing time to adjust to treatment and experience the benefits of better sleep before committing.
- Upfront Purchase: Purchase your CPAP equipment from the outset to save money on a trial, with full clinical support to ensure therapy is set up correctly from day one.
Both options include:
- A free mask trial to help you find the most comfortable and effective mask for you
- Follow up appointments with our sleep therapy team to optimise your settings, address any concerns, and support you through the adjustment period
Our goal is to make starting CPAP therapy as comfortable, informed, and supportive as possible—so you can get the best possible outcome from your treatment.
CPAP Troubleshooting & Ongoing Support
Common CPAP concerns we can help with:
Adjusting to CPAP therapy can take time, and it’s normal to experience a few challenges in the early stages. Most issues are easily resolved with the right adjustments and support. Our team is here to help you feel comfortable and confident with your therapy.
An ill-fitting mask can cause air leaks, skin irritation, or disrupted sleep. We’ll help refine mask fit or trial alternative styles to improve comfort and seal.
Dryness can often be managed by adjusting humidification settings or mask type.
If the pressure feels too strong or uncomfortable, we can review and adjust settings to better suit your breathing and sleep patterns.
For patients using nasal masks, we can assess whether adjustments, mask changes, or additional strategies are appropriate.
Acclimatisation takes time, and small changes to comfort settings or routine can make a big difference.
If symptoms persist despite CPAP use, we can review your therapy data to ensure treatment is effective.
How We Support You
- Upfront Purchase: Purchase your CPAP equipment from the outset to save money on a trial, with full clinical support to ensure therapy is set up correctly from day one.
- Therapy data reviews to assess effectiveness and identify areas for improvement
- Access to mask trials if your current mask isn’t working for you
- Education and coaching to help you build confidence using your equipment at home
Our aim is not just to start CPAP therapy, but to ensure it works well for you long-term. With the right support and fine-tuning, most patients achieve comfortable, effective treatment and lasting improvements in their sleep and wellbeing.
