Dangling behind the headboard, where the cat cannot reach it.
Spares in sealed plastic bags, in the dark.

Toss it in the drawer with my machine. Spare masks go in a zip lock bag in the closet

Storage for the mask/hose currently in use....toss it and the hose on top of the machine.
Storage for spares and unused cpap stuff that might be used later...all in a plastic tote...sealed and under the bed.

I wrap the hose around the machine with the headgear attached. The cushion I take into the kitchen to wash every morning. That is the only thing I wash. I take the humidifier out of the machine so the machine can all dry out. I keep extra stuff in the drawers of my night stand. I sometimes take a nap on the sofa in the family room but do not use Cpap then because I just KNOW my wily cat would put a hole in the hose and the family room area is where we make her live, never in our bedroom.

The one I use hangs on the side of my cpap nightstand. The spare masks are stored in the bags they came in inside of a backpack I used to use for a laptop computer.

Sits on the nightstand in back of the apap. The rest are either in their original containers or a ziplock in the top of a chest drawer. My brother's masks come in boxes, so they sit in the original boxes in a bookshelf in his room. Just keep your masks away from heat/air and direct sun. Otherwise, no special storage requirements.

I hang the hose over the headboard (with the hose snug fit in a soft flannel hose cover.)
With my mask still attached to the hose, I hang the mask by its straps over the hose.

Luckily, the cat hasn't shown any interest in this set up.

Extras are stored in a plastic zip lock bag in a box on a shelf.

I always have my cpap travel bag ready -- with my older cpap + extra hose and mask -- since I travel often on short notice for work.
