Circadiance, maker of Sleepweaver cloth masks, makes a short hose.
It is called something like featherweight, and is about 14" long--universal ends.
You may also need an adapter for the wacko air intake on the airmini.

Those Featherweight hoses aren't heated, are they?

Correct. They are non heated.
About the best you can do is add a short hose cozy of some sort but then you lose some of the benefits of that hose like flexibility and not weighing much.

... 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 Featherweight a try, along with the new mask I ordered.

... since it would generate more sales that way? Plus RogerSC says he only ever used it with a SleepWeaver mask. And when I search on CPAP.com for "featherweight" I only find that page for the SleepWeaver tube; and ditto if I search for "lightweight tube" or "lightweight hose". I tried it a while ...

Here's the link to the Circadiance SleepWeaver Featherweight hose/tube for anyone interested. https://www.cpap.com/productpage/circadiance-sleepweaver-feather-weight-cpap-tube I have seen this hose....it's amazingly flexible and weighs next to nothing. ...

... direct use for me. Always use a bridge, lightweight, flexible tube segment...sometimes those come with the mask. If not I got a couple of those "featherweight" tube extensions a long time ago that I use if the mask doesn't have a built-in lightweight, flexible hose. Even with the Dreamwear nasal ...

... they won't dig into your face. It does take some time and effort to learn to position them properly for comfort and LEAK elimination. And the 18" Featherweight hose is a MANDATORY ACCESSORY. I woke up 2 weeks ago with a painful right eye. Powered through it for a few days, but since it woke me ...

... similar. I don't remember if there is a quick release thing on it but if not I would be tempted to rig up my own quick release by adding the F & P Featherweight hose to make it have quick easy removal. It has male and female ends so it will attach to both the long hose and the mask or mask hose. ...

... end. Cram on the hose to the Bleep connector. Attach the HME to the cpap connector. Attach the CPAP hose (might also adding a SleepWeaver Featherweight hose between the contraption and the CPAP hose) The cut off P10 mask can also be used with HME if you 3D print a 15 mm to 22.5 mm adaptor. ...

That sleepweaver featherweight is a blessing.
I have two; and I am always ready to add a short hose to masks that have none.

... the long hose to the mask...and relatively cheap. Not exactly a "short" hose depending on how you look at it but one could add the SleepWeaver FeatherWeight hose at the end of the long hose and DIY your own "short hose". About 15 bucks plus whatever shipping. https://www.cpap.com/productpage/circadiance-sleepweaver-feather-weight-cpap-tube ...

... than the latter, but still some added weight. Glad the warmer weather is here so I can go commando and not have to deal with this. I use the "featherweight" tube for attaching directly to the DreamWear, and the "climateline" heated tube is attached to that. Plus also use a "hose hanger", so ...

... and easier to use and adjust than previous generation masks. I am sleeping better now than I have in a long time. I also started using two featherweight short tubes (circadience) between the virus filter and my mask, this makes the hose a lot less intrusive without that big virus filter ...
