I thought the cpap had to be below the level of the mattress? That's what the literature says.
Maybe they don't want to be sued in case someone accidentally pulls the machine off the nightstand and bounces it off their head.

Newsflash: "Bowl of cereal causes concussion."

Funny!

My machine is on my night stand, a little elevated above my bed, and I've never had any problems.

Lawsuits. Probably the reason why one of the recommendations is to put the machine on the floor!

How about, "Marshmallow concussion"?

I have a Remstar with humidifier. I am also curious that when others had thier sleep test, what thier oxygen levels dropped down to.
