1. What is the Fisher & Paykel SleepStyle+ Auto CPAP machine?
The SleepStyle+ Auto is a premium automatic CPAP machine developed by Fisher & Paykel, designed to deliver a personalised and comfortable therapy experience for people living with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). Building on the popular SleepStyle platform, the SleepStyle+ adds enhancements like oxygen compatibility, upgraded filtration, and more intuitive controls, while maintaining core comfort technologies such as SensAwake™ and expiratory pressure relief. It’s built to make therapy feel as natural and unobtrusive as possible—whether you’re new to CPAP or an experienced user.
2. What does the Basic SleepStyle+ Auto Freedom Plan include?
The Basic Freedom Plan includes the SleepStyle+ Auto CPAP machine, a CPAP mask of your choice, integrated heated humidifier, ThermoSmart heated tubing, carry bag, power supply, and all necessary accessories to get started—such as two air filters, a data USB stick, and a spare elbow connector for the tubing. While it doesn’t include ongoing clinical support or part replacements, it offers everything you need for effective therapy from day one, backed by a standard two-year manufacturer warranty.
3. What makes the SleepStyle+ Auto unique?
This machine is designed with comfort and ease of use at its core. SensAwake technology automatically reduces air pressure when it senses that you’re awake, helping you fall back to sleep with less disruption. The heated humidifier and ThermoSmart tubing work together to maintain consistent air temperature and reduce condensation or “rainout.” Large, tactile buttons and a clean interface make the machine easy to operate—even for those with dexterity concerns. In short, it’s a user-first design backed by reliable technology.
4. Who is the SleepStyle+ Auto best suited for?
The SleepStyle+ is ideal for first-time users seeking a no-fuss experience, as well as long-time users who value comfort and quiet operation. Its intuitive controls, quiet performance (just 28 decibels), and advanced pressure relief make it particularly well suited to light sleepers and those who tend to wake throughout the night. However, those who travel often or are seeking the lowest-cost solution may prefer a smaller travel CPAP or entry-level device.
5. How quiet is the SleepStyle+ Auto?
The SleepStyle+ operates at an impressively quiet 28 decibels—quieter than many leading models, including the ResMed AirMini. Its noise level is often described by users as “whisper quiet,” which is particularly helpful for light sleepers or those who share a bedroom. Its quiet operation adds to the overall comfort of therapy, helping users stay compliant night after night.
6. What comfort features does the SleepStyle+ offer?
In addition to SensAwake™, the machine includes advanced humidification with 7 adjustable humidity levels, giving you control over comfort based on your preferences or seasonal needs. ThermoSmart heated tubing ensures the air remains at a consistent temperature and reduces the chance of condensation inside the hose. The device also includes expiratory pressure relief, which adjusts the pressure when you exhale for a more natural breathing rhythm.
7. Can I track my CPAP therapy with the SleepStyle+?
Yes. The SleepStyle+ has built-in Bluetooth connectivity, allowing you to sync your device with the SleepStyle mobile app. Once connected, you can view your therapy data, track long-term trends, and receive tips on how to improve comfort and usage. The app makes it easy to stay engaged with your therapy, even without formal clinical follow-up as included in more comprehensive care plans.
8. Is the SleepStyle+ Auto travel-friendly?
While the SleepStyle+ wasn’t specifically designed as a travel machine, it is still relatively portable. Weighing only 1.7 kg and measuring just 14.5 x 17.8 x 18.3 cm, it fits easily on most bedside tables and even plane tray tables. It’s also approved for in-flight use. That said, for frequent travellers or those wanting the most compact option, a dedicated travel CPAP device may be more suitable.
9. How do I clean and maintain the SleepStyle+?
Daily care involves rinsing and drying the humidifier tub and wiping down the mask cushion. Each week, clean the heated tubing, mask frame, and humidifier parts using mild soap and warm water, then allow them to air dry completely before use. Components like the tubing elbow and humidifier seal should also be cleaned weekly. Replace air filters every 1 to 3 months, depending on your environment. This basic plan does not include automated part replacements, so you’ll need to monitor when replacements are due.
10. Is the SleepStyle+ compatible with other masks and accessories?
Yes, the SleepStyle+ is compatible with all Fisher & Paykel masks and ThermoSmart tubing, and it works with many standard CPAP masks from other brands. However, it’s a good idea to check mask compatibility before purchasing new accessories. If you already have a favourite mask from another manufacturer, there’s a good chance it will work with this device, but we recommend confirming with your CPAP provider.
11. How does the price compare to other machines?
The SleepStyle+ is considered a premium automatic CPAP machine, and while it’s priced above entry-level devices, it’s competitively positioned against other top-tier models. For those seeking a comfortable, full-featured machine without complex setup, it delivers strong value. With the Basic Plan, you gain access to this device and your chosen mask with manageable, interest-free payments—making premium therapy more accessible.
12. What do users say about the SleepStyle+?
Users consistently praise the SleepStyle+ for its quiet operation, simplicity, and comfortable therapy delivery. The machine’s responsiveness, especially through the SensAwake algorithm, is often noted for its ability to reduce mid-night disruptions. The intuitive controls and effective humidification system make it a top choice for those looking for dependable performance without overcomplication. Whether you’re new to CPAP or looking to upgrade, the SleepStyle+ is a trusted companion for better sleep.
