What Yangchen Inc. DBA RespShop does

Yangchen Inc., doing business as RespShop, is a US-based direct-to-consumer e-commerce retailer founded in 2009 and headquartered in Redmond, Washington. The company is an authorized online seller of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) equipment and related supplies, serving individual patients with sleep apnea as its primary end market. Its catalog spans home CPAP machines (e.g., ResMed AirSense 10/11, ResPlus, APEX Medical XT), travel CPAP machines (ResMed AirMini, Transcend Micro, Breas Z2), BiPAP/VPAP devices (ResMed AirCurve 10/11), a full range of nasal, full-face, and nasal-pillow masks (ResMed AirFit, Philips DreamWear/DreamWisp/Amara View, Fisher & Paykel Evora), and recurring-use supplies (filters, tubing, mask parts, cleaning products, water chambers, batteries).

The business is operated on a Shopify-based commerce platform with integrated prescription management, customer accounts, and Klaviyo-powered email and SMS marketing. The company derives revenue primarily through one-time hardware and consumable sales at price points ranging from approximately $5 for accessories to $4,039 for high-end BiPAP machines, with logged-in customers receiving exclusive discounts of up to 25%. Beyond resale, the company has layered services into its model: a Home Sleep Test using FDA-cleared WatchPAT technology (priced at $139, positioned against lab studies averaging ~$3,000), an online CPAP prescription renewal service, a CPAP rental program, a refurbished/open-box channel, and a tiered RespShop Rewards loyalty program (Bronze/Silver/Gold) that rewards repeat purchases.

Go-to-market is purely DTC digital commerce; there is no physical retail footprint. Customer acquisition runs through SEO/content marketing (educational blog), paid social, email/SMS capture with a 20% first-order incentive, and brand-authorized partnerships with major OEMs (ResMed, Philips Respironics, Fisher & Paykel, Breas, Transcend). A US-based team of Registered Respiratory Therapists and certified sleep technologists supports customers via phone, chat, and SMS, and the company offers a 60-day Mask Assurance Policy that reduces acquisition friction on a historically high-return category. The company is privately held with no disclosed outside funding.

Direct peers

• CPAP.com: Online retailer specializing in CPAP machines, masks, and sleep-apnea supplies for individual patients. It is a direct direct-to-consumer competitor to RespShop with a similar specialty catalog and support model.
• The CPAP Shop: Specialty online retailer of CPAP and BiPAP equipment, masks, and replacement supplies for home sleep therapy. Its product focus and individual-patient customer base closely overlap RespShop's.
• 1-800-CPAP: Online and telephone retailer serving sleep-apnea patients with CPAP equipment, masks, and supplies. Its patient-facing, U.S. distribution model is directly comparable to RespShop's.
• CPAP Supply USA: U.S. direct-to-consumer supplier of CPAP and BiPAP machines, masks, and related accessories. It competes with RespShop across a similar online equipment-and-consumables assortment.

Broad incumbents

• AdaptHealth: National home medical equipment and respiratory-care provider with sleep-therapy offerings. It is comparable through CPAP distribution and patient support, although its portfolio and geographic footprint are broader.
• Lincare: Respiratory and home medical equipment company providing CPAP therapy and related supplies. It serves similar sleep-apnea patients and recurring-care needs but operates as a much broader incumbent.
• Aeroflow Healthcare: Home medical equipment provider that supplies CPAP and sleep-therapy products alongside broader categories. It overlaps RespShop in patient acquisition, equipment fulfillment, and recurring respiratory supplies, but serves a wider range of medical needs.

Others

• ResMed: Medical-device manufacturer of CPAP and sleep-disordered-breathing products sold through RespShop. It is highly comparable in the underlying sleep-therapy category, but functions as an upstream brand partner rather than a direct retailer.
• Philips Respironics: Health-technology business whose Philips Respironics products include CPAP machines, masks, and related respiratory systems. It is a major authorized supplier and category peer, but not a direct e-commerce retailer competing with RespShop.

Emerging players

• Vitality Medical: Online medical-supply retailer carrying respiratory and CPAP-related products. It shares an e-commerce distribution model and some of the same customer needs, but its catalog is broader and less sleep-apnea-focused.
