Lofta is a direct-to-consumer sleep apnea company in the United States. We take people from "I might have sleep apnea" to working treatment from home: an at-home sleep test reviewed by independent board-certified sleep physicians, a prescription if sleep apnea is diagnosed, CPAP equipment shipped to the door, and coaching from sleep coaches to help people stay on therapy.
Lofta is based in San Diego, California, and is part of ReDream Brands, a consumer sleep health platform that also includes cpap.com, The CPAP Shop and sleeping.com. Within that family, Lofta is the brand focused on home sleep testing and therapy coaching.

Why Lofta was built
Lofta's founder lived with undiagnosed sleep apnea for years. Getting answers meant multiple doctors, a referral to a sleep center, a two-night in-lab sleep study, and then a CPAP machine handed over in a box with little guidance on how to use it. He found the process slow, disjointed and lonely, and he started Lofta to fix it.
His stated goal was to change the diagnosis and treatment journey so people get on therapy faster and stay on therapy longer. Lofta was launched with a streamlined path from screening to treatment that most customers can complete in about a week, from home.
The problem Lofta addresses is large. An estimated 40 million Americans have obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and roughly 80% of them are undiagnosed. Untreated OSA is linked to heart disease, stroke, depression, daytime fatigue and drowsy-driving crashes. Many people who do start CPAP stop using it because they get little support in the first weeks.
How the Lofta care path works
Lofta's core offering is a single connected path. Each step happens remotely.
- ScreeningAn online health questionnaire and a short telemedicine video call, usually under five minutes, with an independent medical practice that reviews the customer's history and approves the home sleep test.
- TestingA WatchPAT™ One device from ZOLL Itamar is shipped to the customer's home. The customer wears it for one night in their own bed, and the data is sent automatically for review.
- DiagnosisA board-certified sleep physician interprets the results and issues a personalized Sleep Report. If sleep apnea is diagnosed, the report includes a prescription and a therapy recommendation. If the medical team needs a retest, it is free.
- TreatmentThe customer chooses a treatment path: CPAP (the most common), an oral appliance through Lofta's network of licensed providers, or doctor-guided GLP-1 weight-loss care through Lofta partners. Lofta ships CPAP equipment directly.
- Ongoing supportLofta's sleep coaches and help with setup, mask fit, pressure adjustments and compliance reporting, most fully through the LoftaCare program.
Services
Lofta Home Sleep Test
An at-home sleep apnea test that includes screening, testing and physician diagnosis. It uses the WatchPAT One, an FDA-cleared, Type 3 disposable home sleep test that is worn on the wrist with a finger probe and chest sensor, and has been validated against in-lab polysomnography (PSG). It measures true sleep time, sleep stages and central sleep apnea as well as obstructive events.
The Sleep Report covers true sleep time, Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI), Respiratory Disturbance Index (RDI), Oxygen Desaturation Index (ODI), pulse, snoring, body position and sleep stage statistics. Results from the test can be used to prescribe CPAP, oral appliance therapy or GLP-1 care. Lofta also offers variants of the test for people pursuing oral appliance therapy or eXciteOSA, and a dedicated version for DOT-regulated drivers.
LoftaCare
Lofta's CPAP therapy coaching and support program. LoftaCare matches the customer with a personal sleep coach and gives access to Lofta's sleep coach team for the first year of therapy. It includes a Jump Start coaching call, remote monitoring of nightly therapy data with device setting adjustments, daily therapy reports through ResMed myAir, on-demand compliance reports, a 60-night success guarantee on the device, 60 nights of free mask exchanges and returns, extended device protection, and discounts on future supplies. Lofta reports 90% CPAP compliance after 90 days among LoftaCare customers.
RxExpress CPAP prescription renewal
An online service for existing CPAP users who need to renew an expired or lost prescription without an in-person visit or new sleep test. The customer completes a questionnaire and telemedicine visit with a licensed physician, and the renewed prescription is sent digitally. Eligibility requires a sleep apnea diagnosis within the past 10 years and current CPAP use. If the physician cannot issue a renewal, the fee is fully refunded. RxExpress prescriptions are accepted by most cash-pay CPAP retailers but may not be accepted by insurers without prior authorization.
Prescription submission
Customers who already have a valid CPAP prescription can submit it to Lofta and buy equipment without testing.

Programs can use an insurance path or an employer-subsidized cash-pay path that includes compliance reporting.

About 28% of commercial truck drivers have sleep apnea, according to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.
- Associations: in February 2025 Lofta partnered with the Pennsylvania Motor Truck Association (PMTA) to offer its members at-home testing, CPAP therapy support and education.
- Primary care and specialty clinics: Lofta works with primary care providers on screening and diagnostic programs. In 2025 Lofta partnered with Bloom Mental Health, a Colorado psychiatric care provider, to add home sleep testing to Bloom's patient assessments.

How Lofta compares to the traditional path
This compares Lofta's model to the conventional sleep-lab and insurance-based equipment path in general, not to any specific company.
| Traditional path | Lofta | |
|---|---|---|
| Getting tested | Referral, then one or more nights in a sleep lab | One night at home with a wrist-worn device |
| Time to treatment | Often weeks to months | Screening to treatment in about a week for most customers |
| Prescription | Follow-up visit to review results | Delivered with the Sleep Report if diagnosed |
| Equipment | Through a durable medical equipment supplier, often with insurance approvals | Bought online and shipped directly |
| Starting therapy | Limited guidance after setup | Coaching, remote monitoring and adjustments from sleep coaches |
| Cost visibility | Depends on deductibles and coverage | Published cash prices |
What makes Lofta different
One connected path. Screening, testing, diagnosis, equipment and coaching sit with one company, so the customer does not have to coordinate a sleep lab, a doctor and an equipment supplier separately.
Built around staying on therapy. Many people abandon CPAP in the first weeks. Lofta invests in the period after purchase with sleep coach coaching, remote monitoring and mask exchanges, because the goal is sleep that improves, not a device that sits unused.
Founded by a patient. Lofta exists because its founder went through the slow, confusing version of this process himself.
More than one treatment path. A single Lofta test can lead to CPAP, an oral appliance or GLP-1 weight-loss care, depending on what the physician and customer decide.
Transparent cash pricing. Customers see what they will pay before they order.
Human support. Customers work with named people: a Sleep Champion who explains test results and helps choose equipment, a Client Care Specialist who handles orders, and a Therapy Coach who guides treatment.
Clinical team and partners
Lofta's clinical support team is led by sleep coaches. Diagnosis and prescribing are done by independent, board-certified sleep physicians. Physicians and clinicians listed on lofta.com include:

Frequently asked questions
What is Lofta?
Lofta is a US direct-to-consumer sleep apnea company based in San Diego. It offers an at-home sleep apnea test reviewed by independent board-certified sleep physicians, sells CPAP machines, masks and supplies, renews CPAP prescriptions online, and provides LoftaCare therapy coaching. Lofta is part of ReDream Brands.
How does the Lofta Home Sleep Test work?
The customer orders online and completes a short telemedicine video call so an independent medical practice can approve the test. A WatchPAT One device is shipped to their home and worn for one night. A board-certified sleep physician interprets the data and issues a Sleep Report, with a prescription and therapy recommendation if sleep apnea is diagnosed. Lofta then walks the customer through results and next steps.
How accurate is a home sleep test?
The WatchPAT One used by Lofta is FDA-cleared and has been validated against in-lab polysomnography. Home tests are well suited to adults with suspected obstructive sleep apnea. The reviewing physician decides whether a home test is appropriate and whether an in-lab study is needed.
How long does it take to get results and start treatment?
Most customers go from screening to a diagnosis in less than a week, and can start therapy in as little as a week. If diagnosed, the prescription comes with the Sleep Report.
Does Lofta take insurance, Medicare or Medicaid?
Lofta is primarily a cash-pay provider. It does not have a Medicare or Medicaid supplier number, so those programs will not pay for equipment or supplies bought from Lofta. Some Lofta Direct employer programs support an insurance path. Contact Lofta at 800-698-8000 for current details.
Can Lofta renew an expired CPAP prescription?
Yes, through RxExpress. It is for people diagnosed with sleep apnea in the past 10 years who currently use CPAP. A licensed physician reviews the request, and the fee is fully refunded if a renewal cannot be issued.
What is LoftaCare and who needs it?
LoftaCare is Lofta's CPAP support program: a personal sleep coach, therapy support for the first year, remote monitoring and setting adjustments, compliance reports, extended mask exchanges and returns, device protection and supply discounts. It is designed for new CPAP users and anyone who needs compliance documentation, such as commercial drivers.
Does Lofta work with DOT drivers and employers?
Yes. Through Lofta Direct, Lofta provides a Home Sleep Test for DOT drivers, compliance reporting for medical card renewals, and full sleep apnea programs for employers, fleets, associations and primary care clinics.
Are there alternatives to CPAP through Lofta?
Yes. Lofta's test results can support oral appliance therapy through licensed providers in its network, and GLP-1 weight-loss care through its partners. Lofta also sells eXciteOSA daytime therapy. The right option depends on the physician's findings.
Who owns Lofta?
Lofta is part of ReDream Brands, a consumer sleep health platform.
