Yeahhhhh my wife was on the fence about getting a CPAP for years. Finally got one and it dramatically helped! Until suddenly she got sick. And stayed sick until she stopped using it. Turns out it was the model you described and little shitty foam bits are not good for your lungs. Needless to say, she has not used any CPAP since. It sucks because even she said it helped, but she's too scared of getting sick again to try a different kind.

Thanks medical capitalism!

After that happened, I purchased (out of pocket) one from Lofta and haven't had any trouble since. CPAPs themselves are a very helpful treatment and I genuinely recommend a good one (again, assuming a sleep study supports the need).

Lofta also offers an at home study. Not sponsored or anything (I wish!), just have benefited from their product.
