Amelia HallA few months ago, I had to endure my partner’s sleep apnea, which felt like sleeping next to a bear! After weeks of this torture, I finally broke down and told him he needed to go to a sleep clinic.
The “sleep study” was straight-up bizarre. They had him change into a scratchy hospital gown and was hooked up to what looked like a million wires.
Unsurprisingly, the “study” was a bust, and the doctor just told him to come back for another round.
I wanted to help my partner and others suffering from similar issues—whether you can’t sleep because of someone’s snoring or have actual sleep difficulties.
So, I enlisted the Waterview Vancouver team to compile a list of the top sleep clinics in the city. We reached out to various clinics and talked to former patients to ensure we only included the best of the best.
How much does it cost to get treatment at a sleep clinic in Vancouver?
It costs at least 500 CAD to get basic sleep therapy treatment at a sleep clinic in Vancouver.
The final cost will vary depending on the type of treatment, diagnostic testing, insurance coverage, and more.
How We Chose
1. Snore MD Sleep Apnea Clinic
Address: 541 W Broadway
Contact details: +1 604-670-9990
Operating hours:
- Monday to Friday – 9 AM to 5 PM
- Saturday – 9 AM to 3 PM
Snore MD prioritizes patient success with unlimited expert care, support, and remote monitoring, both in-clinic and virtually. With same-day appointments available, it’s easy to see why so many patients trust this clinic with their sleep health.
To ensure our research was thorough, we booked an appointment without revealing our intentions.
What we liked the most was how the staff took the time to understand our specific sleep and respiratory needs. As a result, they created a sleep plan tailored just for us!
We also spoke to other patients, and they love Snore MD’s “Care for Life” program.
As the name implies, the clinic provides ongoing support that’s hard to find elsewhere. Their program includes follow-up appointments, insurance coordination, and even free distilled water refills for CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) machines.
Their state-of-the-art CPAP setups offer various solutions for snoring and sleep apnea. Plus, they provide guidance on how to use their machines effectively.
To make treatment more accessible, you can take advantage of their 12 interest-free payment options! That said, if anything goes wrong with your CPAP, they have a strict no refund or exchange policy.
Always made time to answer all my questions
“Staff are professional & friendly. Amneeta assisted w obtaining & setting up my equipment. She was very patient and knowledgeable and always made herself readily available by email or phone.
During visits she always made time to answer all my questions & never felt rushed. I had encountered a personal dilemma and it was dealt with in a very compassionate & understanding manner. Highly recommend this store!”

Snore MD checks in with me throughout the process
“Snore MD was great. At my first appointment they walked me through step by step how to use the machine. After a few days I had to return the mask that I was using during the trail period because it was hurting my nose and they helped me select a more comfortable mask. I found the softer, over the nose one much more comfortable. Snore MD sent texts checking in with me along the way. I have been sleeping better. I used to wake up multiple times a night and now I sleep through til morning. My husband who was sleeping with earplugs is sleeping better too because the machine has completely stopped my snoring! I bought the one with the humidifier which came in handy recently when I had a cold. I swear I got through my cold faster because I was using the CPAP. It helped clear my airways. Thank you to the staff at Snore MD for helping me get the much needed sleep I (and my husband) needed.”

2. Rebel Sleep Institute Vancouver
Address: 2490 Birch St #120
Contact details: +1 604-307-2686
Operating hours: Monday to Friday – 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM
Rebel Sleep Institute is a fantastic resource for anyone looking to improve their sleep health. Their commitment to sleep education is evident in their free fatigue awareness seminar, which we found to be a thoughtful initiative.
In this seminar, they teach you helpful tips on how to recognize fatigue and manage it, and they give advice on how to improve your overall sleep quality.
Several people we interviewed loved the option to have sleep apnea testing done at home. The process is completely non-invasive and painless, making it ideal for those who might be nervous about testing.
Furthermore, others who went through their psychological sleep and fatigue evaluation said it helped them uncover the root causes of their sleep challenges.
We found it refreshing to see a focus on not just the physical aspects of sleep but also on the mental and emotional factors that can contribute to fatigue.
For businesses, Rebel Sleep Institute offers a workplace sleep and fatigue program that provides employees with a sleep health treatment plan. We made sure to take notes on how we can better tackle fatigue in the workplace.
The only downside? We experienced a bit of a wait on the phone at times, but the quality of service more than made up for it
I feel so much better
“Alan Stock was very helpful in getting me the right treatment for the type of sleep apnea I was diagnosed with. I could call him anytime and he would walk me through the process and answer any questions I had. He was also very encouraging with my success. Not long after I started treatment, I started to feel so much better. I am able to wake up in the morning and get right out of bed and feel completely rested. My energy levels are through the roof for the entire day. Thank you Alan and Rebel Sleep Institute.”

He does not rush the process
“Spoke with Alan and he was great. You can tell this is his passion and he does not speak down to you but takes the time to explain everything to you and answer any questions you may have. He does not rush the process and gives you as much time as you need. I was shocked to find out I had a sleep issue since I sleep so well and Alan was able to explain reasons behind that and future issues without treatment. Really appreciated his time.Would HIGHLY recommend”

3. Mainland Sleep Diagnostics Ltd.
Address: 943 W Broadway Unit 120
Contact details: +1 604-732-9797
Operating hours:
- Monday to Friday – 9 AM to 5 PM
- Saturday – 10 AM to 4 PM
Mainland Sleep Clinic offers a range of sleep apnea treatments, including the latest CPAP machines and travel-friendly options. They even have advanced BiPAP and ASV setups—types of ventilators that help people breathe by delivering air to the lungs.
We spoke with several patients who have been visiting the clinic for a while, and the consensus was clear: the staff is exceptional.
The sleep technicians are not only knowledgeable but also genuinely take the time to understand each patient’s unique needs.
Additionally, several people shared their experiences of undergoing thorough sleep studies that helped identify the root causes of their apnea issues.
Based on the results, the staff worked closely with them to find the ideal CPAP mask and pressure settings.
We also experienced the team’s helpfulness firsthand when we tested the clinic’s free CPAP trial. We tried everything from their comfortable pillows and nasal masks, making it easier for us to sleep through the night.
On the downside, a few patients mentioned that the front desk reception could be more courteous.
Kind, accommodating, and very helpful
“I really appreciated the explanation and support from Nato today. She treated me very professionally. Answered all my questions clearly and I never felt like she was trying to sell me anything as I did at another clinic I attended Rav has been awesome to deal with since the first day I met him. Everyone I have met at the No. 6 Rd location of Mainland have been kind, accommodating and very helpful.”

4. Coastal Sleep
Address: 515-550 W Broadway
Contact details: +1 604-325-5667
Operating hours: Monday to Friday – 8:30 AM to 5 PM
If you’re struggling with sleep apnea, we highly recommend giving Coastal Sleep a try. They really have the process down to a science!
They provide a convenient take-home sleep monitor for diagnosis, which many customers have found incredibly helpful.
After experiencing the service ourselves, we appreciated how they guided us through the CPAP setup process. Their attention to detail ensured a perfect fit, maximizing both comfort and effectiveness.
What’s even better is that the support doesn’t stop there. They act as your personal CPAP coach, checking in regularly to help you adapt to the treatment.
Plus, the staff is friendly and knowledgeable, eager to assist in finding the right gear.
In addition to their personalized support, their selection of CPAP equipment is impressive. Coastal Sleep carries the latest masks, machines, and accessories, allowing you to customize your setup to meet your specific needs.
One downside, however, is that getting an appointment can be a bit challenging.
Active in helping me manage my sleep health
“Very grateful to Andrew Malgaspe and Coastal Sleep for helping me treat my sleep conditions. Andrew was patient, compassionate, and active in helping me manage my sleep health. I valued Coastal Sleep’s wraparound service, helping me from intake, fulfillment of my prescription, and ongoing support. I am grateful my family doctor referred me to Coastal.”

Have received outstanding care
“I have had my CPAP machine for almost a year, and have received outstanding care from Pooja. She keeps in touch in case I have issues, guides me on proper maintenance, and even exchanged a mask for a different format for free. No questions asked. You pay a little extra getting the equipment from Coastal Sleep, but the after care and Pooja backing up the masks more than makes up for the cost(which was mostly paid for by my insurance).”

5. Sleep Well Respiratory Care
Address: 3478 W Sawmill Cres
Contact details: +1 604-724-6845
Operating hours: Monday to Friday – 9 AM to 5 PM
Sleep Well Respiratory Care is accredited by the College of Physicians & Surgeons of British Columbia, which instantly gives them credibility.
We spoke briefly to their respiratory therapists, but they were on point with their expertise and approachability. They took the time to answer all our sleep apnea questions and even gave us a demo of their available machines.
They have tons of CPAP masks from all the major brands, including ResMed, Fisher & Paykel, and Philips.
During our conversations with customers, it became clear that the personalized attention at Sleep Well makes a big difference.
Many shared that the staff dedicated substantial time to ensure they found the perfect CPAP machine and mask tailored to their needs.
Others valued the regular follow-up check-ins, which ensured they were making progress and getting the most out of their treatment.
The only minor drawback is that appointment wait times could be a bit longer than some may prefer.
Gurshan is amazing to work with
“I only have good things to say about Sleep Well River District. Gurshan is amazing to work with and really goes above and beyond to ensure clients receive the best care possible. Gurshan takes the time to understand your individual circumstances and needs which allows her to streamline the whole process. Whether it be providing advice on options for sleep apnea testing, asking the right questions to get you the best machine, or even prompting you to understand your insurance coverage, she does the most to maximize every part of the process in favour of getting you the best treatment as soon as possible.”
