I use an N95 filter mask (you can buy them at a medical supply store or, many hardware stores) and just cut it into the shape I need. I can make several CPAP filters from one mask. Just make sure that you cut it to the correct size (or slightly too big so that it friction fits well into the air inlet port) and, mark it so that you have the direction of air-flow correct. I find this way cheaper than buying the specific machine filters and, I know that the N95 filter material adequately blocks dust, molds, pathogens, etc.

Brand new, everything sealed in the original plastic bags, in the box, with the travel case, and H4i humidifier. I was lucky to come upon this deal at the right time and, of course, there's a sad story at the other end of the deal. The person selling it was doing it for a family friend who's husband passed away the day the machine arrived. It was never used, never opened...
