Three shelf bedside table that I made for the CPAP. It sits lower than the top of the mattress but not on the floor. Industrial strength velcro on the bedside table and on the bottom of the CPAP so it won't slide/pull off. Old habit from living on the fault even though I'm now far away.

Specifically, on the lower shelf of a 2-shelf bedside table. It puts the machine well below my head (very thick mattress and box spring), but keeps it about 4 inches above the floor.

I don't use any hose attachment, but simply position it above my pillows as I turn from side-to-side.

Nothing has to be disconnected during the day, it's easy to change the water in the HH and the filters, and it's pretty much out of sight.

Very interesting.

I keep mine on the floor - actually about 1 in above it on a plastic case 1 in high. I just wanted it off the floor. I also go wiht the keep it lower so moisture drains back into the HH.

I route my Heated Hose from the back of the mattress under my pillow and just connect it up and have the hose between the sheet and the cover.

Works ok.
