Lori, I also put the fleece cover over the thinsulate, but it was a tight fit. Maybe if I were to make my own, I could attach several layers of thinsulate between 2 pieces of fleece, but then...I have a lot of projects that never seem to get done, so it would probably just remain a figment of my imagination for a long time.
Linda, I always have let the hose hang down and still get the rainout. My machine is on the floor and the hose just hangs off the bed. I agree that it is confining and I have to lift the hose every time I turn over. But I did figure that if it were on a hook, it would run right into the mask. After I get the heated hose, I can attach it to a nice fancy hook. What freedom!!
