Ah I see, well job done well so far the Bleep is a fantastic product and I would’ve given up on cpap by now. For some reason I keep coming back because even on my worst night with dreamports is still better than no mask.

I had the opportunity to try the Eclipse as I was contacted on another CPAP forum by a fellow Bleep user who passed my info onto Stuart. I spoke with Stuart and in July he sent me a sample of the Eclipse. I immediately fell in love with it. Looking forward to getting my package in the next several days.

I do not use a hose hanger thingy ka-bobber. I have a very nice product I picked up online that uses a 3M Command strip and velcro. It is attached to the side of my headboard and works. I have never experience rainout with Bleep and the only rainout experience was with the full-face mask I was provided when I began CPAP which was a total disaster on many levels.

I ran into a problem using the Dreamway in that the swivel kept disconnecting from the tube. To solve this I used a magnetic quick release product on the swivel and hose to disconnect quickly. I also used this with the Eclipse tube & hose. Yes, it adds more weight but doesn’t get in my way.

I found out about the original Bleep right about the time I started on CPAP. At that time, it was not yet available but I just KNEW it would solve most if not all of the problems I was having with masks. I tried learning all I could about it and imagine my delight when I discovered Bleep was headquartered in my backyard! I started a (pretty much one-way ) correspondence with them, trying to keep in the loop about release. I even offered to be a beta tester! That got a response...a resounding no, too many hoops for an unknown candidate, FDA rules, etc. I kept in touch however, they probably dreaded seeing my name come up on FB and email.

However, I actually met Stuart very shortly after the initial release, which as I had expected DID work for me, and we stayed in contact, touching base regularly if intermittently. I was thrilled to be part of the beta for the Eclipse and like CPAP-a-must, love the Eclipse. The magnets make it SO much easier to attach (I have arthritis in my hands), and it's just that little bit shorter so it's easier to sleep face down. Also, much easier to take 3+ weeks worth of supplies along when I travel! I can't wait to get my new supplies from SureSeal...they can't come soon enough!

Can you link to the product that uses command? It sounds very useful.

I am not the OP but this may help. I picked these command hooks up cheaper at staples. They’re the perfect size to hold the heated hose and I keep them in my travel bag.

Command Cord Bundlers, Cord Organizer, 2-Bundlers Per Pack, Sold As 2 Packs (17304-ES) https://a.co/d/3c98iv7

I have a more solid hose management system that I love also. JAKIA CPAP Hose Holder and Hanger Tube Clamp and Support Minimize Hose Tubing Tangle and Leakage with Angles Adjustable,Relieve Pressure from Tube-CPAP Accessory Supplies… https://a.co/d/g3JiLbw

Am curious about the velcro though. I use one of these, gently twisted around small hose and hooked on a hook in the bedroom. There’s probably something better out there. Nite Ize Original Gear Tie, Reusable Rubber Twist Tie, 6-Inch, Black, 12 Count Pro Pack, Made in the USA https://a.co/d/9KJB8wG

hope that helps

Thanks so much! I will need the command because I have nowhere to clamp. Will need to attach to the wall.

The hose management system has a piece of velcro at the end that also has a snap. Velcro is attached to a piece of elastic string that ties on to the frame. There’s actually a toggle that “ties” it to the frame that could in theory be removed.

I keep a command hose hanger in each of my pap bags for travel and simply cut to size some of the abundance of command stickies that I have. Just in case you need to move yours just know that the size is close to one of the other hooks.

(thanks to the OP here that told me about it. Can recall if it was snoreless dino?)

Is it the same adhesive or has that been updated?

Adhesive didn't change. Still a 3 M adhesive product.

Here is an alternative to Lynn. I use a similar setup to what Stuart (Bleep guy) shows in a few videos.

Note that the second piece is not really needed unless you want some extra slack. The upright piece slides under the mattress and I attach the other pieces with velcro to it.

I forgot to pack my hose hanger on one road trip.
A quick visit to the dollar store yielded duck tape and girls' headbands.
A couple dollars later, I was all set.
The tape pulled off the motel "headboard" with nary a mark.

well done

I have a foam mattress and don’t figure that style would work, thus the clamp. I like the mods at the top tho. I could work with something like that when mine craps out. I have to admit though that I like that there’s some give.

edit: the pap lanyard is a nice touch

Well, we've COVID in the household, so big pause on everything. Christmas out the window, too. No one seriously ill, though. Knock wood.
