Gift Your Partner a Good Night’s Sleep this Valentine’s Day!

Does your partner suffer from obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)? It’s a common disorder that causes breathing to stop repeatedly throughout the night. One of the hallmark symptoms of sleep apnea is chronic snoring, which can keep you from getting some much-needed sleep as well. Luckily, continuous airway pressure (CPAP) therapy is a minimally invasive and effective treatment for the disorder. If your partner uses (or could benefit from) CPAP therapy, we’ve got some gift ideas that would be a perfect addition to their life. Read on to learn how you can both get a good night’s sleep on Valentine’s Day.

Travel CPAP Machine

If your partner travels across the country or overseas often, they may benefit from a CPAP machine while in flight. Well, a travel CPAP machine can certainly come in handy when they’re bouncing around from airport to airport. The miniature device delivers the same therapy as home units, except they’re portable and lightweight.

CPAP Pillow

CPAP machines can make it difficult to sleep with a pillow because they usually require that a mask be worn throughout the night. Your partner may not be able to sleep comfortably if they’re a side sleeper because their mask doesn’t fit properly. Their exhale ports might also be blowing into fluffed-up pillows. Luckily, that’s where CPAP pillows come in to save the day. They’re built with cutouts on the sides to make allowance for headgear and mask interfaces.

Battery Packs

Most CPAP machines have options to purchase integrated batteries that connect to the base to minimize bulk and maximize space. If you want to supplement those batteries or are looking for an alternative that’ll work on nearly any machine, you may want to consider getting a stand-alone battery pack along with their corresponding cables.

CPAP Tubing Sleeve

The latest CPAP machines usually come with heated tubing, which helps address concerns about rainout (excess moisture collections inside the tubing and pooling into the mask). However, the older machines often don’t come with special tubing. If your partner has or wants an older model, you should think about getting a decorative tubing sleeve that can help insulate their tubing so they experience less rainout.

CPAP Sanitizer

The good news is that most CPAP machine parts are easy to clean and maintain. However, some people may have compromised immune systems or experience frequent head colds or infections during the winter months. Well, a sanitizing machine is an excellent gift idea for cold and flu season. Not only does it clean the machine, but the ozone sanitizes it as well.

You and your partner don’t have to live without a good night’s sleep forever. By gifting them one of the ideas listed above, you can both enjoy a restful night this Valentine’s Day!
