I have used my new sungglehose for a couple of nights and it has an unlisted benefit in addition to it's advertised benefits: the hose no longer has a mind of it's own. It lays quiet and motionless on the bed. No more vacume cleaner hose fight back. Yes, it also, as advertised, reduces condensation, makes the hose less 'medical' looking and is a more bed like entity when you encounter it during the night.

I also got an inline hepa filter. Is it possible that the filter media reduces the delivered pressure to the mask? I used it last night and woke up this morning with a classic pre-cpap morning headache?

The hardware:
Fisher & Paykel HC220LE Humidified CPAP @ 9cm
Respironics Profile Lite Gel Mask

I would take it to the DME that set it up, and have them do a pressure check with the hose, humidifier, and filter you are using all hooked up.
