If you have a headboard on your bed, just run it up over the top, tie or hook it in place, then just hang it down to you face.
Works good, I can roll over and not get caught in the hose and mine hangs just enough to reach my mask so it doesn't pull on it. Take a look on the search spot for "hose management" there are sssoooo many different ways that folks use to hang their hose you will find one that works for you....and cheap too, we are a bunch of frugal folks here.

I absolutely love my Hozer! I don't even turn much in bed so was very surprised at what a difference it made. Definitely helped the leaks and when I turn in bed I never have to take into consideration where the hose is. Very well engineered and manufactured. I took it on one overnight trip - thought I didn't really need to have it but I was so glad to have it. It packs easily, is very compact. A bit expensive but for all of the money I have spent on xpap "stuff" this by far was the best money spent.

I like the Hozer as well, sturdy for everyday and easy to pack and travel with. I'm an active sleeper andI never am bothered by the hose with it. I only use 2 or the 3 sections it comes with. Kathy

For the Hozer and HozeBuddy, do you have to have a longer hose, or will the normal length work?

I was also looking at the Cozy Hoze Boss, but I've not tried any of them yet.

I use the regular Climateline hose - no problems. And I also use only 2 of the 3 sections that come with the Hozer.

After looking at all the different ones of this style, the Hozer does look the most interesting though. It looks as though (and someone correct me here) as it has a slight flex to it so it can bobble up and down allowing you more movement. All the other ones are rigid poles. It is more expensive though.

Do these management systems work with SlimLine?

Alshain - yes it does bobble up and down, allowing more movement. Reminds me of a fishing pole. It works great with Climateline so I can't imagine that it wouldn't work with SlimLine. IMHO, this is worth the price I paid, unlike some of my other xpap gadgets that I think in retrospect I shouldn't have spent the money on. Not so with the Hozer.

I agree with Bright cHoice, Hozer works very well , and for me definitely worth the $$$. it's springy, like a fishing pole, assembles quickly and easily, I use it for travel and everyday. I've never tried any other hose hangar

For travel or home...the Cozy Hose Boss is the BEST. And compact too.

I use the Hozer. Quick to assemble. Quick to disassemble. Stores in my suitcase easily.

I can state that it will not stop a 200 pound falling body from landing on the floor, but then, it wasn't designed for that. And the Levitation Systems folks were very nice about my getting just the piece I needed instead of a whole new Hozer.

I forgot it once, and it made a major different in my leak rates and sleep.
