Hose influences quality of sleep?

Hi gang,

I've now had my third night with the S9 with good results. Previously with the S8 and a bulky trial hose, I struggled with leaks, comfort and premature removal.

My theory is that the slimline hose has less hose drag, less volume and moves with me MUCH better. This results in a longer usage period, hence better results, better compliance.

I prefer the slimline hose to the climate control one, because of the increased weight and size of the mask/hose connector. The tubing is the same.

Has anyone else experienced these hose issues?

I have the climate line hose, but its so much more flexible and lighter than the other hose I used to use.
The old hose was so stiff, it would get this big elbow bend in the middle and it was like herding ferrets to
get it to behave..

I do believe I slept better the very first night with the lighter, flexible hose. I can "cuddle" with it too as it
bends every which way.. Its very easy to wrangle that little doggie..

I really like the SlimLine - light and more flexible than the usual hose.

That's great to hear. So it probably isn't just my imagination that the hose influences the quality of sleep.

I like the slimline even better than the Climate Control hose. The connectors are larger and heavier, and tends to catch and drag.
Oh.. aren't I a fussy one?! LOL
