Auto CPAP (APAP) rental: what it is and who it suits
Last updated: 2026-10-28
Quick answer
An Auto CPAP (APAP) machine adjusts its air pressure automatically breath by breath, instead of holding one fixed pressure like a standard CPAP. It suits people whose pressure needs vary through the night or by sleeping position, and those starting therapy before a fixed pressure is set. SleepEase rents Auto CPAP for ₹2,999/month with home delivery and a refundable ₹5,000 deposit.
APAP vs fixed CPAP
A fixed CPAP delivers one constant pressure all night, set to your prescription. An Auto CPAP (APAP) senses your breathing and raises or lowers pressure automatically within a range, giving only as much as you need moment to moment — which many people find more comfortable.
Who APAP suits
APAP is useful when pressure needs change with sleeping position or sleep stage, for people newly starting therapy before a single fixed pressure is confirmed, and for anyone who finds a constant high pressure hard to tolerate. Your doctor's prescription guides the setting.
