With a Full Service Package, you will enjoy more than just the best quality CPAP technology available in Australia. We will also ensure that we regularly check-in with your treatment progress including how your accessories are functioning and how comfortable you are finding your new sleep.

CPAP accessories can differ greatly between brand and type, providing varying levels of comfort dependent upon your needs.

Selecting your CPAP accessories is not something you should undertake lightly. Depending on your needs and condition, your mask choice, for example, can greatly impact your comfort and, subsequently, your sleep quality. It is important to understand which type of mask will best suit you and what you find the most comfortable to wear. If you are not using the most comfortable accessories for your treatment then you are less likely to reap the benefits of your CPAP therapy and you will likely delay your sleep improvement.

All CPAP masks are designed to maximise your comfort while wearing them but what one person finds comfortable could be very different from what another person might believe is comfortable. CPAP masks also come in a variety of seals and frames, offering full masks and partial nasal masks depending on how your treatment has been directed.

As well as providing accessories and equipment, we are also able to service and repair your CPAP units. Our clinics stock replacement parts, filters, battery kits, tubing, humidifiers and CPAP tube cleaners for regular servicing.

CPAP Accessories FAQs

1. What are CPAP accessories and why are they important?

If you’re using a CPAP machine for sleep apnea therapy, the accessories you use with it can make all the difference in how comfortable, effective, and sustainable your treatment is. Think of accessories as the supporting cast; they may not be the headline act, but they play a vital role in making your therapy work.

CPAP accessories include your mask, tubing, filters and humidifier, which are considered essential. But there are also optional extras like travel bags, cleaning kits, CPAP pillows, chin straps and mask liners – all designed to solve real-life problems and make your nights smoother.

If your mask doesn’t fit well, or if the air feels too dry, or if your tubing keeps pulling when you roll over – these small frustrations can add up and lead to inconsistent use. The right accessories can prevent this. A well-fitted mask improves comfort and reduces leaks, a humidifier adds moisture to dry air, and a hose lift can stop you from getting tangled up while you sleep. With the right accessories in place, CPAP becomes not just bearable, but part of a restful routine you can stick with.

2. Are your CPAP accessories compatible with all CPAP machines?

Mostly, yes, but there are a few things to keep in mind. Many CPAP accessories are designed to be compatible across different brands and models. For example, most masks and hoses use standard connectors, so they’ll work with any modern machine. That means you can often mix and match brands and models, which is great if you’ve already got some gear or are upgrading just one part of your setup.

However, some accessories are brand-specific, especially internal components like water chambers, filters and heated hoses. A water tub from a ResMed machine, for instance, won’t fit a Fisher & Paykel unit. Likewise, filters are usually cut to size for particular models, so they need to match exactly.

It’s nothing to stress about, though. If you’re unsure, just ask our team in-store or over the phone. For personalised guidance, visit your nearest clinic or call us on 1300 76 29 39 – we’re here to help. We’ll make sure everything fits together properly so you’re not stuck with a part that doesn’t work. Our goal is to make sure your therapy runs smoothly with no guesswork.

3. What should I do if I experience discomfort while using CPAP accessories?

If you’re feeling uncomfortable while using CPAP, you don’t have to just “put up with.” Discomfort can come from a few different sources, and there’s usually an easy fix once you know what’s causing it.

For example, if your mask feels tight or leaves red marks, it might be the wrong size or style for your face. If the air feels cold or dry, a humidifier or heated tubing could help. If your mask is leaking or moving around at night, you might benefit from mask liners, a different headgear fit, or even a change in mask type altogether.

Sometimes, people find the pressure uncomfortable or feel claustrophobic when starting therapy. That’s perfectly normal, and your CPAP machine likely has comfort settings (like a ramp or pressure relief) that can help ease you in. And if you’re unsure how to use those features, we’re always here to help.

Our CPAP Consultants are experts at troubleshooting and finding solutions. Whether it’s a mask swap, fit adjustment, or setup tweak, we’ll work with you to get things feeling just right. With the right support, advice and accessories, CPAP therapy can become something you hardly even think about at bedtime.

4. Are there specific accessories for people who move a lot while sleeping?

Absolutely! If you’re a restless sleeper, your CPAP setup can (and should) work with you, not against you. The good news is there are plenty of accessories and mask designs created specifically for people who toss and turn.

First up: look for masks with a swivel connector or a top-of-the-head hose design. These give you more freedom to move without pulling on the mask or tubing. Some of the newer mask styles are made with flexible materials and minimal contact points, so they stay put better during position changes.

Another helpful tool is a hose lift or tubing holder, which keeps your hose elevated above the bed. This helps prevent the feeling of being tethered and stops the hose from getting tangled as you turn. Many active sleepers also benefit from a longer hose, giving you more room to move without strain.

There are even special CPAP pillows with cut-outs to accommodate your mask – perfect for side sleepers or anyone who changes positions often.

5. What materials do you use for your CPAP accessories? Are they safe for allergies?

Most CPAP accessories are made from soft, medical-grade materials like silicone, gel, or breathable fabrics that are designed to be gentle on your skin and safe for people with sensitivities.

All of the masks we stock are latex-free and made to minimise allergic reactions. Silicone is the most common material used for mask cushions because it’s durable, easy to clean, and well tolerated by most skin types. If you’ve ever had issues with silicone or simply want another option, we can recommend masks that use memory foam or even cloth-based cushions.

Filters, too, are designed to protect you. If you’re sensitive to dust, pollen or other allergens, hypoallergenic filters can be a great addition. They’re finer than standard filters and help purify the air that goes through your machine.

If you’re ever unsure about materials, just ask. Our CPAP Consultants are happy to talk you through the best options for your specific needs whether that’s choosing a mask for sensitive skin or recommending accessories to keep your setup clean and allergen-free.

We know how important it is to feel confident about the equipment you’re using every night. That’s why everything we recommend is tested, safe and selected with your comfort in mind.

6. How do I properly clean and maintain my CPAP accessories?

Keeping your CPAP accessories clean is one of the easiest and most important ways to protect your health and keep your therapy working well. It doesn’t have to be complicated. Just a few simple habits can go a long way.

Daily, we recommend giving your mask cushion a quick wipe with a CPAP-friendly cloth or mild soap and warm water. This removes oils and dirt that can affect the mask seal and irritate your skin. If you use a humidifier, empty and rinse the water chamber each morning to prevent bacteria buildup.

Once a week, set aside a few minutes for a deeper clean. Soak your mask, tubing, and humidifier chamber in warm, soapy water (just use a gentle dishwashing liquid. Do not use bleach or strong cleaners). Rinse thoroughly and let everything air dry away from direct sunlight.

Don’t forget to check your filters, too. Foam filters can usually be rinsed and reused, while disposable ones should be swapped every 1–2 months or sooner if they look dirty.

Clean gear works better, feels better and helps keep you healthier. If you ever have questions, we’re here to help.

FAQ 7: How often should CPAP accessories like masks and tubing be replaced?

CPAP gear doesn’t last forever and replacing accessories regularly is key to keeping your therapy clean, comfortable and effective. Even with great care, parts wear out over time and can start to cause leaks, irritation or even performance issues.

Here’s a simple guide:

• Mask cushions: Every 3–6 months, or sooner if you notice leaks or discomfort.
• Complete masks (frame and headgear): Every 6–12 months.
• Tubing: Every 6–12 months, depending on use and condition.
• Filters: Disposable ones every 1–2 months; washable foam filters monthly.
• Chin straps/headgear: Around every 6 months when they lose elasticity.
• Humidifier chambers: Every 6–12 months, or earlier if there’s wear or mineral build-up.

If something doesn’t look right, feel right or smell right, it’s probably time for a replacement.

At Sove CPAP Clinic, we help you stay on top of this by offering convenient accessory packs and friendly reminders. You can always pop into a clinic or give us a call if you’re unsure about the condition of your gear. Our team is happy to inspect it or recommend what’s next.

Keeping things fresh isn’t just about hygiene. It makes therapy easier to stick with.

8. Do you offer assistance with setting up and using CPAP accessories?

Absolutely, and it’s one of the things that truly sets Sove CPAP Clinic apart. We understand that starting CPAP therapy can feel unfamiliar, even overwhelming, especially when you’re adjusting to new equipment and routines. That’s why our support doesn’t end once you take your machine home. In fact, that’s where it begins.

Whether you’re a first-time user learning how to assemble your equipment, or a returning patient exploring new accessories, our experienced team is here to guide you. Our CPAP Consultants, along with Respiratory and Sleep Physicians, work closely with you to help you start your therapy confidently and stick with it long-term.

We’ll walk you through how to:

• Assemble your CPAP machine and accessories
• Fit and adjust your mask to reduce leaks and improve comfort
• Set up and fill your humidifier properly
• Connect and care for your tubing and filters
• Understand and use comfort settings like ramp time or pressure relief

You’re welcome to visit any of our clinic locations for in-person assistance, where we’ll provide hands-on demonstrations and answer any questions you have. If you prefer, we also offer support over the phone on 1300 76 29 39, so help is always within reach, no matter where you are in Australia.

Even if you’ve been using CPAP for a while, we encourage you to reach out any time you need advice. Your therapy needs can evolve, and we’re here to support you through each stage.

9. Can I consult with a CPAP specialist before purchasing accessories?

Yes, and at Sove CPAP Clinic, we strongly recommend it. Choosing the right accessories is not just about personal preference; it’s about ensuring that your CPAP therapy fits your unique sleep needs, daily routine, and long-term goals. What works brilliantly for one person may be uncomfortable or ineffective for another, which is why personalised advice makes such a difference.

When you book a consultation with one of our experienced CPAP Consultants or Respiratory and Sleep Physicians, we take the time to get to know your full clinical picture. We’ll talk through your sleeping position, facial structure, comfort preferences, mask issues, travel habits, any known allergies or sensitivities, and more.

This information helps us recommend accessories that are truly tailored to you, not just based on what’s popular or available. For example:

• If you have sensitive skin or facial discomfort, we might recommend mask liners or alternative cushion materials.
• If you’re a side sleeper or experience frequent mask leaks, we can suggest specific mask designs that provide a better seal in that position.
• If you’re on higher pressure settings, certain masks or chin straps may help improve seal and comfort.
• If you experience dryness or congestion, a heated humidifier or insulated tubing may be key.
• If you travel regularly, we can advise on lightweight gear, battery options, and accessories designed for portability.

We also offer in-clinic mask fittings, where you can try different masks and sizes before committing to a purchase. This hands-on experience can make all the difference, saving you time, money and frustration by helping you avoid the trial-and-error that’s all too common when people buy online without guidance.

10: What is your return policy for CPAP accessories?

We want you to be happy with your purchase. That’s why Sove CPAP Clinic offers a 30-day money-back guarantee on selected masks and accessories.

If something doesn’t fit right or feel right, just give us a call on 1300 76 29 39. We’ll talk through what’s happening and help you return or exchange it, as long as it falls within our return guidelines. For some products, returns are considered case-by-case, so it’s always worth checking with us.

We also honour all manufacturer warranties for faults, and we’ll help you sort out any issues quickly and fairly.

To keep things safe and hygienic for all customers, items need to be in good condition and ideally unopened if they’re not part of our trial range. But if you’ve opened something and it didn’t work out, we’ll still do our best to help.

Our return policy is here to give you confidence. If you’re not sure what’s eligible or how to return an item, just reach out. We’re always happy to assist.

11. How do I know what kind of accessories I need?

Great question, and one we hear often. The best accessories for you depend on your machine, your sleep habits, and how you’re feeling during therapy.

Start with the basics: mask, tubing, filters, and humidifier (if your machine includes one). If you’re feeling dry, congested, or uncomfortable, then a humidifier or heated hose might help. If your mouth falls open while using a nasal mask, using a chin strap can gently hold your mouth closed.

Feeling discomfort? You might benefit from a different mask cushion, or soft pads for your headgear. Travelling often? A compact bag or travel battery might be useful.

Remember, you don’t have to figure it all out at once. As your therapy journey continues, your needs might change.

12. Are there accessories that make cleaning easier?

Yes, and they can make a big difference in keeping your CPAP routine simple and stress-free. Cleaning your CPAP gear regularly is essential for maintaining hygiene, extending the life of your equipment, and ensuring your therapy stays safe and effective. But let’s face it. Life gets busy, and remembering to wash tubes and mask parts can be a hassle. That’s where a few handy accessories come in.

Here are some favourites that CPAP users often find helpful:

• CPAP Cleaning Wipes: These are pre-moistened, alcohol-free wipes designed to clean your mask cushion daily. They’re quick, gentle on silicone, and great for removing facial oils and buildup — especially useful if you’re in a rush in the morning.
• Tube Cleaning Brushes: These long, flexible brushes make it easy to clean the inside of your tubing, which can be hard to reach otherwise. Regular use helps remove condensation, dust, or residue inside the hose.
• Drying Racks or Hangers: After washing your mask and hose, you need a clean space for air drying. Drying racks or hose hangers let your gear drip dry neatly, avoiding moisture buildup that could lead to mould or mildew.
• Cleaning Bags or Basins: Some people use collapsible cleaning tubs or specially designed CPAP cleaning bags to soak parts. These can make the weekly clean quicker and more contained — ideal for those with limited bench space.
• Travel-Sized Cleaning Kits: If you’re on the move, compact kits with wipes, a travel brush, and a mini spray bottle can help you stay on top of hygiene wherever you are.
