Bleep DreamPort hose

Post by courageous777 » Sat Aug 13, 2022 7:21 am

Does anyone use the Bleep DreamPort mask and have advice on where to put the hose during the night? With my old mask I used to just put it up over my head and it was great. With this it pulls funny on my lip lol. I can't figure out how to put it comfortably!

Some people use hose hangers that suspend the whole thing over you. I just move the hose until it's comfortable enough to get to sleep. After that it can touch me all it wants. You do need enough slack so that if you move your head it won't pull.

I used to do over the head on my headboard - but I also found it would tug.

I ended up just running the hose next to my pillow and use no hose management, just loose on me. I was plessantly surprised it works fine

I run mine up to a hose holder but leave decent slack. That way everything is lifted up and out of the way but does not pull in any way that I can feel. I find it very comfortable. Stuart, the owner of bleep, advises doing this. I have the exact setup that he uses.

I have one of these. And attach it to my end table next to my bed. I like that I can hook to something solid instead of between the cushions of the bed, because I have a memory foam mattress and I don’t trust it to have enough support. If you have a headboard you could probably attach it there too but check the specs if you get it. I think it’s only like 3 inches that you can clamp to.

I leave enough slack in the hose so that I can turn over any other direction. The main reason I use it because the hose would drop down alongside the bed and I was worried that it was going to get hooked on the edge of the table and get a hole in it.

I love it it works great easy to put it strap every night.
