If your doctor has recommended CPAP therapy, your next question is likely: where do I buy a CPAP machine in Singapore, and how much does it cost? This guide gives you straightforward answers — real prices, machine types, and what to look for in a supplier.
What Is a CPAP Machine?
A CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) machine is a prescribed medical device used to manage obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). It works as a gentle blower connected to a mask worn during sleep, delivering pressurised air to keep the upper airway open so that snoring and apnea events are managed. With effective therapy, AHI (Apnea Hypopnea Index) can drop by a tenfold factor — for example, from an AHI of 50 down to 5, even before pressure is fully optimised.
A proper setup matters as much as the machine itself. Pressure settings need to be calibrated, your mask must fit correctly, and both directly affect whether therapy is effective and comfortable enough to use every night.
Types of CPAP Machines Available in Singapore
Auto CPAP (APAP) is the most common type on the market and the standard starting point for most newly diagnosed OSA patients. It automatically adjusts air pressure throughout the night — starting at a lower Auto Minimum setting, increasing when apnea events are detected, and easing back when the airway is open. The two key settings are Auto Min (default: 4 cm H₂O) and Auto Max (default: 20 cm H₂O). Most patients have their sleep apnea well managed within this range.
Auto BiPAP delivers two separate pressure levels — a higher IPAP (Inspiratory Positive Airway Pressure) during inhalation and a lower EPAP (Expiratory Positive Airway Pressure) during exhalation. In Jo Ng's clinical experience, approximately 9 out of 10 patients are more comfortable on BiPAP than on Auto CPAP, because the lower exhalation pressure makes breathing out against the airflow significantly easier. For most new users with obstructive sleep apnea, the Auto BiPAP model is recommended. BiPAP can also go beyond the 20 cm H₂O ceiling of standard CPAP, making it suitable for patients who require higher pressure settings.
Travel CPAP is a compact, lightweight version for frequent travellers. However, if you are a first-time CPAP user, Jo Ng strongly cautions against starting with a travel CPAP as your primary machine — travel machines often have elevated noise levels, and you are significantly more likely to succeed in adapting to therapy on a standard-sized machine first. Once you are established on CPAP therapy, a travel unit such as the Resvent iBreeze Plus is a practical addition.

CPAP Machine Prices in Singapore (2026)
All prices below are current regular prices from YesCPAP. Every CPAP machine from YesCPAP includes a heated humidifier and heated tubing as standard — a humidifier is strongly recommended because the moving airflow in CPAP therapy is dry, and re-humidifying the air reduces throat dryness and significantly improves comfort. Heated tubing prevents condensation (rainout) from forming inside the tube during use. After the first year, most users spend approximately 300–500 SGD annually on consumables such as filters and mask replacements.

Where to Buy CPAP in Singapore
YesCPAP — RPSGT-Certified Specialist
YesCPAP is run by Jo Ng, a Registered Polysomnographic Technologist (RPSGT) and a long-time CPAP and BiPAP user himself since 2015. Jo Ng is also an authorised distributor of Resvent machines. What separates a specialist from a box-shipper is the ability to let you lie down with several masks, try different machines, and compare breathing comfort at relevant pressure settings before you make a purchase decision — much like test-driving a car before buying it. Every YesCPAP purchase includes this professional in-person or video consultation, device configuration, mask fitting, pressure calibration, and ongoing pressure optimisation support.

Hospital Sleep Clinics
Public hospitals (NUH, SGH, Tan Tock Seng) and private hospitals (Mount Elizabeth, Gleneagles) have respiratory or sleep medicine departments that diagnose OSA and prescribe CPAP therapy. Some supply equipment directly; others issue a prescription and refer you to an external provider. Public hospital waiting times tend to be longer and product selection is more limited.
Other Established Retailers
Other established providers in Singapore include The Air Station (official ResMed distributor), ERIKG CPAP, and We Are Medbitz. Some offer rental programmes if you want to trial a machine before committing to a purchase.
Choosing the Right CPAP Mask
Mask fit matters as much as the machine. A poor fit causes air leaks that reduce therapy effectiveness, and discomfort is the primary reason most people stop using CPAP altogether.
Jo Ng's broad recommendation is to start with as small a mask as possible. Smaller masks tend to seal better, are more comfortable, and make it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep. Larger full face masks tend to leak and feel bulky for most users. Full face masks (which cover both nose and mouth) are generally most appropriate for patients aged 70 and above who have slack jaw issues and cannot keep their mouth closed even with tape, or for patients with severely deviated septums causing complete nasal obstruction.
For most users in Singapore — the majority of whom are Asian with smaller and flatter nose profiles — nasal prong (nasal pillow) masks such as the Philips DreamWear Silicone Pillows and the ResMed P30i tend to seal most effectively. Under-the-nose masks such as the Philips DreamWear Under the Nose are better suited to users with larger and longer noses, which are more common among Caucasians and some South Asian users. Note that nasal prong masks cannot be used by people who are missing their upper front teeth.
The best way to choose a mask is to lie down and try several options with the machine running at your pressure settings during your consultation — this lets you feel actual breathing comfort in a real sleep position, not just how the mask feels while sitting upright.

What to Look for in a CPAP Supplier
When evaluating a CPAP supplier, Jo Ng recommends asking these specific questions before purchasing: Will you be allowed to lie down and try different machines, different settings, and different masks during an appointment? Does the supplier provide video setup guides for when you unbox your machine? Are they willing to walk with you through a pressure optimisation journey after the purchase? A supplier who answers yes to all three is genuinely invested in your therapy outcomes — not just completing a transaction.
