Starting CPAP therapy can be life-changing, but it’s not always easy, and using a CPAP machine doesn’t always feel natural right away. If you’re new to therapy, small things like tangled tubing, dry mouth, or red marks from your mask can make it harder to stick to your routine and want to continue therapy.

Fortunately, there are simple accessories that are designed to solve these problems. At NuCara Home Medical, we carry tools designed to make your CPAP experience more comfortable and make therapy something you want to continue.

Here are 7 comfort-boosting accessories that many CPAP users don’t know about (but should) or aren’t using:

1. CPAP Hose Lift

  • What it solves: Your tubing gets caught in the covers or tugs on your mask when you move.
  • How it helps: A CPAP hose lift holds the tubing above your head, so it moves with you while you sleep, not against you.
  • Why users love it: It helps keep your seal in place and reduces the chance of waking up from mask leaks or tangles. Especially great if you toss and turn.

2. Mask Liners

  • What it solves: Skin irritation, noisy mask leaks, or sore spots from your mask.
  • How it helps: Liners create a soft layer between your skin and your mask. They reduce friction and help seal better.
  • Why users love it: Mask liners can help prevent red marks, dry eyes, and discomfort — making it easier to wear your mask all night long.

3. CPAP Pillows

  • What it solves: Standard pillows can push your mask out of place or block the hose.
  • How it helps: CPAP pillows have special cutouts to fit your mask and tubing.
  • Why users love it: They make it easier to sleep on your side or stomach without worrying about leaks or pressure points.

4. Chin Straps

  • What it solves: Mouth breathing or waking up with a dry mouth.
  • How it helps: Chin straps gently keep your mouth closed, especially if you use a nasal mask.
  • Why users love it: They reduce air leaks and improve humidification, making them simple, effective, and easy to wear.

5. Heated Tubing

  • What it solves: Rainout — when water collects in your hose or mask due to condensation.
  • How it helps: Heated tubing keeps the air temperature consistent, preventing moisture buildup.
  • Why users love it: No more waking up to gurgling sounds or water splashing in your mask. Just smooth, comfortable airflow all night.

6. Nasal Pads & Strap Covers

  • What it solves: Pressure sores, strap lines, or discomfort from mask headgear.
  • How it helps: Gel nasal pads and fleece strap covers cushion your skin and reduce irritation.
  • Why users love it: These small add-ons make wearing your mask feel more like part of a cozy bedtime routine.

7. CPAP Sanitizing Devices

  • What it solves: Keeping your equipment clean can be time-consuming, and skipping it risks bacteria buildup.
  • How it helps: Sanitizing machines, like the PAPtizer, use UV light to quickly disinfect your mask, tubing, and humidifier.
  • Why users love it: Fast, effective cleaning helps prevent infections and makes it easier to stick to daily therapy.
