Invest in a Heated Humidifier
While you want to sleep in a colder room, you don’t want to breathe in cold air, as this can have unintended side effects, such as a clogged nasal passage and a runny or bloody nose. We recommend investing in a heated humidifier for your CPAP or BiPAP therapy needs.

Raise the Level of Your Humidifier
In the winter when the outside air can get incredibly dry, it’s best to raise the level of your CPAP or BiPAP humidifier. This will help ensure you have enough moisture to maintain an optimal and comfortable CPAP therapy.

Use Either a Stand-Alone or a Built-In Humidifier
Many older CPAP and BiPAP machines do not have a built-in humidifier, which is okay! You can use a stand-alone humidifier to attach to your CPAP machine that works just as well as an integrated, built-in humidifier. Check out our CPAP humidifiers online today!

Eliminate Rainout for Optimal Comfort
Rainout refers to the condensation that may form when the air inside your humidifier is warmer than your bedroom’s air. A simple solution is to warm your tubing with a tube cover. Many are made from fleece and come in cool colors that can match your bed. Check out our tubing covers today!
