I want to thank folks for their excellent suggestions to my original question. I did buy the AirFit F30i & am very pleased - in combination with a hose suspender (the same "CPAP Hose Lift System for Travel and Home" that I used back in 2012), it works like a charm - no more heavy hose tugging at the...

I have been using the Sleepweaver Feather weight hoses for a decade, on Sleepweaver masks and others including the P30i my wife is using now. It will definitely work with any mask you can connect a slimline or heated hose to. Thanks, that answers the concern I had expressed earlier. I will give the...

If you take the hose and place it in a large bowl (or something else that will work) of hot water, not so hot that it burns you, and leave it for 5 mins or so, then take it out and hang the hose up, either by one end (if you have a tall space that will work) or, as I do, hang the tube by the middle...

It has a female end and a male end so it will fit your long heated (or non heated hose) and your mask. No need for any special adapters. It sounds like a great idea . . . but would it really fit non-SleepWeaver gear? The product page on CPAP.com describes it only as an accessory for the "SleepWeave...

Can't comment. I run a brown noise app on an old smartphone and don't hear anything. Normally for white noise I run nature sounds (low-grade thunderstorm) in the background on my old tablet . . . but now with CPAP, I turn off the thunderstorm because I can't hear it for all the wooshing noises. FYI...

This can be easily solved by switching to the F30i. It's the same mask with the hose attaching to the headgear. The hose can pull on the headgear without pulling on the mask. Thanks for the idea. I did look at the F30i when I was shopping but was put off by some reviews that said it was noisier due...

Thanks for replying. The gadget I have left over from 2012, the CPAP Hose Lift System, is essentially the same as what your son is using (as shown in the Amazon photo). I have it stored & I guess I can set it up & try it. I’m still skeptical about the hose being so stiff - it still has the abrupt ki...

Specifically, the hose I am wrestling with is the ResMed ClimateLineAir Heated Tube; but if you've had to tame a similarly heavy, stiff hose, your thoughts would still be appreciated. Some quick background: Back in 2012, I learned to set up & use CPAP for obstructive sleep apnea. I was severely over...
