Getting a good night’s sleep is crucial for a happy and productive life. We’ve all been around someone who is either groggy or irritable in the morning when they don’t get enough rest, but the benefits of sleep go well beyond mood. It can significantly impact your physical, emotional and mental well-being. There are four key areas you can focus on to ensure you get the best sleep possible.
Masks and CPAP accessories don’t last forever! After 6-12 months, your mask will require replacement. Studies show that after six months, it is impossible to clean 100% of the bacteria off the mask. Long-term bacteria on your mask can cause nasal infections and skin irritation.
Great News!! We offer an exclusive Subscribe And Save Refresh Program & Insurance companies pay for your new accessories every six months, and as always, we are happy to assist you with the paperwork.
