1. LINERS AND PADS
If you experience soreness and irritation from wearing your mask, it is recommended that you buy reusable mask pads and liners. They fit snuggly between the mask cushion and face thus providing an extra layer of protection from irritants while still maintaining an air-tight seal
Liners come in different sizes and styles to suit different kinds of masks (oral, nasal and full-face). Pads are generally smaller in size and designed to provide support to one part of the face like the bridge of the nose.
2. TRAVEL CASE
Some CPAP machine manufacturers also sell travel cases which are specifically designed to protect a CPAP machine while it is in transit in a car, train or plane. If you are a frequent traveller, there are travel cases available in a variety of sizes. They weigh around a kilogram and have a form factor which is half the size of a home CPAP machine
3. BATTERIES
Batteries are important CPAP accessories. At home no doubt your CPAP machine will be plugged into the wall so that it is powered throughout the night and able to deliver your sleep apnea treatment but if you are someone who travels frequently, a battery pack will come in handy. It assures you that your machine will work throughout the night irrespective of where you are sleeping.
Even though not all CPAP batteries are the same, they offer similar features like 8-13 hours of continuous power, a low-profile design and fast charging. The ResMed Power Station II is popular among CPAP users as it can deliver 13 hours of power and can be charged to 95% in under 4 hours and weighs less than a kilogram.
If you want additional power or know that you will be without electricity for more than 13 hours, power banks are a better option and come with larger, heavier rechargeable batteries which provide more than 30 hours of charge and allow you to link smaller batteries together so that power is drawn from all of them.
