Your Guide to Buying a CPAP Machine: What New Patients Need to Know
Starting CPAP therapy can be life-changing, but we understand it also comes with a lot of questions — especially when you’re new to the world of sleep apnea and treatment devices. At Sove CPAP Clinic, we’re here to provide guidance, reassurance, and clinically sound advice. Whether you’ve just been diagnosed or are exploring your options, this article will walk you through everything you need to know about buying a CPAP machine — and why Sove is a trusted provider for thousands of Australians.
We’ll also answer the most common questions new patients ask when considering CPAP therapy, and share practical tips to help you get started comfortably and confidently.


Top Reasons to Start CPAP Therapy with Sove
We believe that every Australian deserves access to sleep therapy that’s affordable and timely. Here are three of the biggest reasons patients choose Sove when purchasing their CPAP machine:
1: Immediate CPAP Machine Treatment Is Often Better for Sleep Health
Delaying treatment can prolong symptoms like snoring, fatigue, memory problems, and even raise the risk of heart issues. The earlier you begin therapy, the sooner your body and brain can begin to heal from sleep deprivation. At Sove, we help new patients get started quickly — whether that means fast-tracking a home sleep study, arranging a trial machine, or dispatching equipment for next-day delivery.
2: Sove CPAP Clinic Offers a Lowest Price Guarantee Year-Round
You shouldn’t have to sacrifice quality for cost. Our Lowest Price Guarantee ensures you’ll never pay more than necessary — even if another retailer advertises a better deal. From entry-level models to premium machines with advanced features, Sove delivers value without compromise. And yes, this guarantee applies whether you buy online or in our clinics.
3: The CPAP Care Plan Lets Eligible Patients Continuously Access Supplies and More
Successful therapy doesn’t end at the point of sale. Our CPAP Care Plan* offers eligible patients a complete support system — including mask replacements, tubing, filters, and scheduled follow-ups. This means you never run out of essential supplies and always have access to expert guidance. It’s peace of mind that your therapy is being monitored, updated, and optimised over time.
Getting the Most from Your CPAP Therapy: Tips for Success
Starting CPAP therapy is a significant lifestyle change, and it’s normal to face a bit of a learning curve. The good news is that most patients adapt quickly — especially when supported with the right information and encouragement.
Here are some tried-and-true tips from our clinical team to help you succeed:
- Ease into it: If you feel unsure at first, wear your mask while reading or watching TV to get used to the sensation. These builds comfort gradually.
- Use the ramp function: Many CPAP machines feature a pressure “ramp” that starts low and increases slowly, helping you fall asleep more naturally.
- Keep your equipment clean: Wash your mask, tubing, and humidifier chamber regularly. Clean equipment works better, lasts longer, and feels more comfortable.
- Use distilled water in your humidifier: This prevents mineral build-up and keeps your machine running smoothly.
- Stay consistent: Use your CPAP every night — even during naps — to help your body adjust and experience the full benefits.
- Join the CPAP Care Plan: This program helps keep your equipment up to date with regular replacements for filters, tubing, and mask parts — so your therapy stays effective long-term.
Every patient’s journey is unique, and we’re here to walk that path with you — from the first night to every night after.

CPAP Machine Sales FAQS
Can I Purchase a CPAP Machine Without a Prescription?
While Australian regulations don’t universally mandate a prescription for CPAP machines, many reputable suppliers, especially those offering fixed-pressure devices like the AirSense 10 Elite, prefer one to ensure patient safety and optimal therapy outcomes.
A prescription ensures the pressure setting is safe and appropriate for your specific needs. Using an incorrect pressure could result in ineffective treatment or discomfort. Most commonly, prescriptions come from a sleep physician or respiratory specialist following a diagnostic sleep study (either in-lab or at-home).
At Sove CPAP Clinic, we support patients at every stage of this process. If you haven’t had a sleep study yet, we can refer you for a bulk-billed sleep test (with a valid GP referral) and help coordinate your results.
When considering whether a sleep study is right for you, speak to your doctor. Medicare criteria and T&Cs apply.
How Do I Know Which CPAP Mask Is Right for Me?
Choosing a CPAP mask is as important as choosing the machine itself. A poorly fitted or uncomfortable mask is one of the most common reasons patients give up on therapy. Masks come in various styles, including nasal masks, nasal pillows, and full-face masks, each suited to different preferences and facial features.
At Sove, we take the guesswork out of this process with our expert CPAP mask fitting service, available both in-person and via telehealth. Our trained sleep consultants consider your sleep position, breathing style, facial structure, and personal comfort when helping you choose the ideal mask.
Some patients, for example, may breathe through their mouth at night and require a full-face mask to prevent air leakage. Others may feel claustrophobic and benefit from a lightweight, low-profile nasal pillow design. If you have facial hair or sensitive skin, we’ll work with you to find a mask that fits comfortably without irritation.
Are All CPAP Machines Worth Their Value?
It’s a fair question — and one many first-time buyers ask. While it can be tempting to focus solely on price, not all CPAP machines offer the same features or value. A reliable machine that fits your lifestyle, is quiet, and provides data tracking can make therapy more sustainable and enjoyable over the long term.
Sove stocks only TGA-approved machines from trusted brands like ResMed, Philips, and Fisher & Paykel. Our range includes entry-level models as well as advanced auto-adjusting (APAP) devices that fine-tune pressure in real-time as you sleep. Built-in humidifiers, data monitoring, and compact designs for travel are just a few features that can enhance comfort and convenience.
Can I Still Access Support If I Buy My CPAP Machine Online?
Absolutely — and this is a key part of what sets Sove apart. While many clinics may offer online sales, we believe that ongoing support should never stop at the checkout screen. Whether you walk into one of our clinics or place your order online from across the country, our commitment to your sleep health remains the same.
When you purchase a CPAP machine through our website, you’re still fully supported by our clinical care team. From remote setup assistance to personalised advice, we ensure you feel confident using your device from the very first night. You’ll have access to telehealth consultations, step-by-step video tutorials, and written resources designed to make your therapy journey as smooth as possible.
Can I Try a CPAP Machine Before I Buy It?
Yes, and we strongly encourage it. Trying a machine or mask before committing can help you feel more comfortable and informed, particularly if you’re new to CPAP therapy.
At Sove CPAP Clinic, we offer flexible rental programs and mask trials that give you the opportunity to find the perfect fit. You can trial various machine models and mask types in the comfort of your own home, with guidance from our team throughout the process.
Rentals are particularly helpful if you:
- Want to test a device before investing long-term
- Need therapy quickly while awaiting a formal diagnosis or prescription
- Require a machine for temporary use, such as travel or post-operative recovery
Should you choose to purchase a machine following your rental period, a portion of the rental cost can often be credited toward your final purchase. This makes it a smart, low-risk way to get started, especially for those seeking immediate relief from untreated sleep apnea symptoms like snoring, fatigue, or poor concentration.
Our goal is to ensure you’re not just buying a device — you’re finding a solution that actually works for you.
