Another useless poll! As as it reaches from the machine to the mask and is 10ft or under it's fine for most machines. You manuals that should have came with the machine should have told you that when you read them. Also searching should come up with threads that cover this up down and sideways. Six foot comes with the machines as a standard because it's cheap and works for most uses. Jim

Jim! All the polls are useless. You should come up with a good non-useless one that we can all vote on!

Everyone has their "trigger", that seemingly innocent "thing" that sets them off.
For some it's polls, for others, it is those who will not wear full face masks
(and suffer along with those who do).
Different tools to unravel us beyond all reason.
Welcome to the asylum. Bwah-ha-ha!

If I did that, I would be as useless as other poll starters, and guilty of polluting the forum, I'd also be a hypocrite. Jim

I'm not about to measure mine!
It's in my purse along with these round things.
If the bullfrog finds them, he may try to use them.

Funny. When I read the title, I thought it said - How long is your nose? And I thought, Oh good. A really useful poll. Like is your nose too long to fit comfortably in a full face mask...

Somebody once asked "how long should your legs be?"
Abe Lincoln said "long enough to reach between your body and your feet."
Cpap hoses should reach as far as they need to.

Does Pinocchio have trouble wearing a full face mask? Jim


Maybe knowing how long your nose could be useful. Be sure to use a mirror to count the nostril holes.

My nose is about 1.5" long. What a schnoz!

Incidentally, it fit's just fine in my mask.

It's not the length of your hose ... it's the magic of sleep and low AHI it produces~!
