Bleep hose management advice

Post by onward60 » Sat Oct 14, 2023 4:15 pm

I have a Bleep I am working on getting used to. I can tell I am going to need some kind of hose management system to take the weight off of my face. There is nothing near my bed that I can clamp anything onto. There is no way to put something between the mattress and box spring. My choices are attached to the wall or free-standing. Does anyone have any advice on this? Pros and cons, particularly related to keeping the weight of the Bleep off of my face? I cannot have weight on my face due to neuropathic pain. I'm just barely tolerating the tape on my skin. Also, if you have a system you like, where did you buy it? Thanks.

I too would love to hear recommendations for that.

I use the “Cozyhose boss” when I travel.

(But I actually adapted to the Bleep without hose management, just sit it on my chest and it somehow works)

I have used the Hose Buddy for over for almost 10 years. I love it. It goes where my cpap goes. you can disassemble it for travel. My kids also use it and love it. About 50 bucks at cpap.com

Probably depends on the shape of one's nose, face. I wake up with the pain of the Dreamway digging into my upper lip, near the nostril.
Side sleeper.

I use the CozyHose Boss at home, along with a hose management system that tucks under my mattress. OP, since you say you can't use a hose management system, perhaps you can attach the CozyHose Boss to the wall?

CozyHoze Boss looks great. I will definitely look into that!
