Lofta experience
I was scouring the internet for real life accounts of dealing with this company, so I figured I would help others out by sharing my own.
I first filled out the form Monday 9/28 and received my CPAP machine Wednesday 10/7, so overall it took 9 days. This is incredible compared to the months-long ordeals I saw regularly from people who believed they needed a CPAP.
I used a discount code quiz26 and paid a total of $111 for the study. It requires a telehealth appointment before the testing device could be shipped. This appointment occured Wednesday 9/30 and lasted about 10 seconds. They simply stated I qualified for the test based on my forms and the instructions would be in the box. It arrived Saturday 10/3 but I was too busy that day into the night to sit down and figure it out. I spent about 30 minutes Sunday reading the instructions and downloading the necessary app. At bedtime it took about 5 minutes to get it all ready. I tried to wait until I would actually be going to sleep, not just chilling in bed, because your phone is necessary for the process and I didn't want to mess with it. This was pretty simple to set up. Anyone of average intelligence could do it alone. It was also not uncomfortable at all during sleep, and I'm easy to disturb when it comes to sleep.
In the morning you press "done" on the phone and it submits the data to the company without showing you. I received an email later Monday that my results were in and I needed to make an appointment to go over them. This appointment occured the next day, Tuesday 10/6. This was a longer appointment. I was emailed approximately a 10 page summary of my results and a non- doctor (there is a doctor listed on the report that interpreted my results behind the scenes) reviewed them with me. He was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. He answered all my questions with patience and understanding. Once we were clear on my results, he showed me the available machines and masks and made recommendations. I ended up purchasing a React Health Luna G3X auto CPAP with a Phillips Dreamwear full face mask and a pack of replacement filters. The total was $760. This was overnighted to me and arrived at 9am Wednesday 10/7 via FedEx, signature required.
I was offered to join some type of membership for a one time fee of $200 which included continuous support and unlimited masks for 60 days, as well as 25/% off for life. I decided to hold off and see how I did on my own and was told I could accept the offer within a week if I decide to.
I've been playing with my machine through the day and watching YouTube videos. I think I pretty much got it but will have my first night tonight. I just wanted to share the experience with Lofta. If you can afford around $900 out of pocket this is in my opinion a far superior route than waiting weeks for a very unpleasant office sleep study and perhaps months of back and forth to get a machine.
If you have any questions about something I forgot to mention I'll gladly answer!
