Mask/Tubing storage during the day

Post by dorsy28 » Wed Oct 04, 2023 8:48 pm

I'd like to get my tubing and mask off the my small nightstand during the day to keep it tidy and away from the curious new puppy. Does anyone use a wall mount next to the bed that they love? There are so many products online. Our headboard is very thick and flush to the wall so hooking it there really isn't an option, so maybe something on the wall? Thanks!!

I use a wire coathanger. Loop the hose loosely over the hanger so that it doesn't kink, and obviously have the open ends downwards. Your can use the same hanger for your mask.

Do you not have a chest or dresser drawer to store it during the day? I don't leave a mask or hose lying out.

Oh hell....I just stuff it under the bed pillow.
Then make the bed.

Not yet. The nightstand is small with a tiny 2 inch deep drawer. Looking to buy a new one soon. Usually I bunch it up and lay it on my machine, or disconnect completely and put it in my dresser (or TBH, leave it on my pillow so my husband has to do it.

I like the idea of hanging it on the wall above my nightstand.

I use a command hook cord bundler hung to my head board and shove the mask under my pillow. I too have a puppy.

Our dog left her puppy days behind about 15 years ago, but that doesn't stop her from getting into things she shouldn't.

My lady friend works for a medical company, and when they moved offices back at the start of COVID, they had an extra IV tree they weren't going to be taking with them for the move. My gal appropriated it for God only knows what reason.

I then appropriated it from her, extended it to max height, and hang my mask (with the tubing attached) from it every morning.

My house is very clean, but I still don't like leaving the mask and tubing out and exposed. I also don't like leaving it under a pillow due to the potential for dust mite feces. But, you have to do you.

I just put a coat hook on the wall next to my headboard, I hang the tube with the mask attached over that.

I have a broken fishing pole attached to a swivel plant hanger bracket
(with duck tape, of course.)
My hose hangs from the line guides using hair bands.
The mask stays attached to the hose, which gets looped back over the hose.
Not out of sight, but out of the way.
The cat is not interested. She only digs the laser. And treats.

I keep the machine and mask in the lower drawer of my nightstand
