I use a hanger and have never come close pulling the CPAP off the nightstand. The pic shows my Dream Station 2 (backwards on the nightstand), but I have also had my AS10 hooked up the same way. The hose loop that is on the side of the CPAP has sufficient weight that it usually pulls up the slack on the mask side so the excess hose doesn't drop down to my head or the pillow.

That's VERY similar to my setup except for the hanger. The hook that I mentioned is in the same location as your hanger and works the same.

I put a rubber matt under mine (the kind you use to keep dog bowls from slipping around). I haven't flipped it since.
Tried that and have been using a non-slip mat for years. But with the hose connection on the back, the non-slip does not prevent the cpap from rolling over.
I turned my S9 around so the hose connection is on the side convenient for me. Love the silicone mats! Also use Velcro hook tape to "anchor" the hose as needed.

This is what I use to hold the hose up. Slip the hose thru a large rubber band, a hair scrunchie, or whatever you have available.

Doesn't take up much room when traveling either, can easily fit in the travel bag.

I keep my Resmed 11 on the floor, rather than elevated on a nightstand. Does that make any difference (in performance)?
Anyways, I think I've solved the issue of the 11 flipping over by placing a 2X2 square of Velcro on the bottom of the resmed and on the floor.
Works very well thus far.

No...where the machine is placed doesn't affect performance or function.

I put velcro tape strips under the machine and on my nightstand. The machine isn't going to come off from accidently pulling on it.
