Seems to me there's a thousand ways to hang a hose, and so long as the hose doesn't kink or bind, it'll work....

I just think that's ugly. I just tack a loop of monofilament line on the wall and run the hose through the loop. It is thin and almost invisible. When I'm sleeping elsewhere I just drape the hose over the corner of the headboard.

What weight line you use? Are you looking to catch the "big one" or just pan fish?

That looks great, how about mass producing them, or maybe just one for me!

They are already mass-produced. I'll sell you one for $989.00 and throw in a new front-loading washer for free.

Should the line be tapered?

That device looks very similar to the device that came with my mom's new washing machine that I installed a few weeks ago. In the case of my mom's washing machine the device was intended to form the drain hose in the shape of a "U" over the edge of the laundry tub. I think the "U" needs to be significantly larger to be applicable as an xPAP hose support.

I'm still hanging my hose over the headboard which for the most part is working... but I'm looking for something that gives me that hoseless feeling.

...time to go browse those links rested_gal provided.

Sorry, just took delivery of my new front loader and dryer last week (bought them on black friday for $600.00 for the pair)....it was a very popular black friday item, and they were on backorder until last week.

If the hose hangs, doesn't fall down and you're happy, then it's the best solution in the world. Don't overcomplicate it. Just hang the thing
