Hose Management

Post by trytryagain » Mon Oct 04, 2010 5:35 am

Is anyone here using the "Hozy travel management system, at home? I've been researching the different types and this got the best ratings . Just checking here for some personal reviews.

I use that system, like it a lot, easy to put together and take apart. I use it all the time, not just travel. We have a king size bed, so I did switch to 8 ft hose, 6 ft worked well, just removed one section of the hangar. To bad itbwas a bit pricey.
Any landing you walk away from is a good one; if you don't break your airplane it's excellent.

I've not tried the Hozer system. However, I suggest you also check out the CozyHose Boss system. It's cheaper, does much the same thing as the Hozer, and is much smaller and lighter for travel purposes. I also use it at home. It relies on an inexpensive sticky pad to stick the wall/headboard or whatever. Leaves no marks and removes easily. I have no connection to this company, but I do like this product.
I'm workin' on it.

I have one of those for me and my hubby. I made the PVC racks that I found a picture of here somewhere and attached the hanger with a cable tie. I love it.

I have a four poster canapy bed wrought iron.. above are four iron poles attached to the posts..

I just put a black french ribbon on the pole and run my hose thru that.. Its a slip knot so I can lower it or make it higher and it slides
along the pole back and forth.. it has been perfect for hose managment!

anyone who has a bed like that, you might want to try it if you dont have anything better going on...

here is the style bed you can slide your hose anwhere along the top poles..its pretty neat..

So you tied a long loop of ribbon around the top bar at the head of the bed and ran the hose through that?

yes, its a french ribbon, which is different that regular ribbon.. French ribbon can be made into different shapes, and the shapes will
hold because there is a very fine wire sewed into sides of french ribbon.. I also make this slip knot I can lower it or make it higher, and it slides back and forth if I move..

if I want, I can move my little apap to the foot of the bed and set it on the chest in front of our bed and move the ribbon down to the end too if I
want to lay on my tummy and be closer to the tv.. its pretty versatile.. the hose easily runs through the little hoop I made and I can take up
slack or give it slack just by moving.. so its pretty simple.. and when Im done I just push the ribbon to the end post and hang the hose on
the curtain tie back.. the curtain tie back is perfect for hose holding too!

Then if I have company I toss a super long scarf over the tie back, and the machine.. keeps little curious kids from pushing buttons too..

CozyHoze Boss - Management System - Travelers BEST Friend

CozyHoze Boss™ is the best CPAP hose management solution on the market. Small enough to fit in your shirt pocket, it mounts to the wall using 3M Command Adhesive strips that are guaranteed not to damage surfaces and are removed with a simple tug on the tab. Or they can be used for permanent mounting. The product consists of a wall mounting hook and two spring loaded, self-retracting reels with just enough tension to keep the hose up out of your way while at the same time providing low-friction full range of motion for every sleeping position. Traveling is a breeze. Just remove the hook from the wall and leave the reels attached to the hose. Simply re-attach the hook base on the wall or headboard at the new location.
