Whether you are rent before buying or planning to buy auto CPAP machines, you must already know what those machines are for. In case you are still not sure, auto CPAP machines or automatic continuous positive airway pressure machines are used to help people suffering from sleep apnea. The machine ensures that air flows at a constant pressure and this pressure level is determined or prescribed by a doctor. The doctor determines this after a careful observation of the patient’s sleeping pattern or, more specifically, his breathing pattern or problem during sleep. The advantage of auto CPAP machine is it adjusts the air pressure automatically, depending on the breathing pattern of the patient, which can, and often does, change during a long night’s sleep. These machines, thus, provide better comfort, compared to the traditional CPAP machines. To treat sleep apnea, one must buy or rent auto CPAP machines, especially once the doctor has prescribed it.

The decision to buy or rent is, however, completely yours. We opine that it is better to try a particular model before buying it and that means, renting a machine before buying. This is what the American Sleep Apnea Association suggests as well. The first thing one needs to check whether the machine and the mask are comfortable or not. For this, you need to wear the mash while you sleep. We have different sleep patterns, someone might toss and turn on the bed a lot, someone might read a book before sleep or watch TV while sleeping. All these things are to be taken into account while trying a CPAP machine out.

Once you have tested the machine, you know whether this machine is a perfect fit for you or not. CPAP machines, make no mistake, are costly and you wouldn't want to end up buying the wrong machine. Thus, trying and testing the machine is what you want to do.

Hiring or renting a machine will make things easier for the first time user. You can choose from different manufacturers to see which models serves you the best. You can try out different CPAP masks to see which is the best fit as there are different masks to choose from. Renting an auto CPAP machine can also give you an idea of how advantageous they are over the traditional CPAP machines. On the other side, you can also choose the supplier from this exercise as you will know how helpful or caring they are towards you.
