another question for rested gal

Wasn't it you who said you hook the hose on the wall above your bed. If so what did you hook it with. I think I would like that with my swift.

A simple device made out of1/2" PVC which slips between the mattress and springs and then goes up to some type of shelf/hook will do what you want. Shouldn't cost more the $3 for parts at a local hardware. You would not even have to glue it. That way you can take it apart to take on vacations with you.

seagull, here are links to descriptions about how I hang the hose up. You don't have to get fancy with a swivel plant hanger though - anything that you can use to make a loop hanging on the headboard or affixed to the wall to run the hose through would work. I read of one woman who nailed a ponytail scrunchy to the back of her headboard...very secure without marring the front of the headboard or the wall.

Jun 30, 2005 subject: Need help with Breeze hose

Here's a very simple solution I love! Jeff V's "sock ball" idea:

Jeff V's solution - a sock ball wedged behind head of bed

I tied a couple of clean old socks around my hose several times (in a strategic location) to create a large ball. Then I pulled the bed away from the wall, put the ball between the bed and the wall and pushed the bed back in place, with the sock ball jammed between. Now the hose forms a small loop over my head when I sleep. No pulling at all; and when the bed is made, everything is out of sight.

I don't need a humidifier, so I never have to wash my hose; don't know what kind of issue this would create for washing the hose.

I keep another hose in my travel bag and when I travel I leave the socked hose at home in place, with tissue stuffed in the ends to keep the cat hairs out.
