So many choices--thank you rested gal!
We built a pvc device based on one in a post-- It works pretty good; I used it on vacation.
The creativity of folks here is amazing!

Well if your leaning for the Hozer, no offense to our hosts, but mycpap.com has it $22 cheaper (free shipping counted in that).

My hose management device is free and easily portable... I just run the hose up under the bottom corner of my pillow so it comes out at the top middle. Leave enough slack to roll over in bed, and the hose stays put all night. All I need is a pillow! This method is probably best for people who have an over-the-head style mask, the like Opus. I tried it with a nasal mask for two weeks and found that the hose was just a tad short without the extra length from the mask's hose.

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.


Thank you BC i think your explanation on the Hozer sums it up pretty darn good,i've also been looking for a hose management system that fit your description..... Cpap.Com here i come,hopefuly they will have a promo for free shipping on this item, again thank you and everyone else for your very helpful replies



Warmest Regards. Phil

I think they did, after sitting on the site for a while, I got a pop-up that mentioned free shipping. Also, someone said they actually price match in another thread so maybe you can get the $15 cheaper by using the link above and still be able to order from CPAP.com.

I've seen this one, but I can't help but wonder how often you'd have to replace the command stick-on thingie. I wouldn't want it all falling down on my head once a week because the stickie stops working.

If it's just a regular command stick on thing... I've had one of those on my wall for 7 years now... I use it as a hook to hang my keys on.

Wow, 7 years?! But I would think there'd be a little more weight and tug on the hose thingie.

I've been seeing commercials for those command hangers and just been so hesitant to try them. I've bought other things that were supposed to stay up until you remove them, and they still manage to fall off! (The one that comes to mind is the suction-based "create your own handle" for the shower wall - nearly fell out of the shower when that fell off the wall! )

But I like the portability of this gadget and the way it could be personalized. I have one of the traveling hose holders, which works well in general, but because I sleep on a wedge pillow, it really would be nice if it were taller. The kind you're talking about would let me decide where it hung on the wall...if I could get over my nerves of the whole thing falling down on my head in my sleep!

Do you think Gumby would give this his stamp of approval IF it fell off his wall? Really?

Yikes!

Sorry, Gumby, not trying to question anyone's integrity!

Cozy Hose Boss from Pur-sleep hasn't fallen off my wall, I been using it since Feb this year. And even if it does fall off the wall, it is just a hose, & won't hurt you.
