It's like pillows and masks.........individual, easy to make on your own, and many very good systems available commercially and lab ratted.............

I prefer the Hozer at home.....go without when I travel.

A hose management system did reduce my ahi..........and so I continue to use one.

I don't really manage my hose at all, but I saw you and wanted to say hello and that I have missed joking with you around here. We used to be so much fun on my "Looking for a single man" thread.

I know! Things have gotten really boring since we were made to behave! How are you?

Sometimes I think about bumping that thread. There has to be some single men here somewhere. Ah, maybe there really aren't any. I am fine, a little tired from a super long week. How are you?

And scrapper, I miss you, too!

I just got this system: https://www.cpap.com/productpage/flexib ... -lift.html yesterday. That and in combination with a 10 ft hose and hose snuggie/cover, I think I slept better last night because I wasn't worried about gravity pulling the hose off the bed and taking the mask with it.

I'm so glad you're back.............be careful associating with me, along with Hawthorne, I've been labeled "a bully" and an ostrich by a avi123..........who would have thought?????

And after that brief break from reality, we need to get back to hoses for our friend Sleeping Ugly........

I have, and like, the Hozer. Without it, my leak rate goes up 10-15 points. It's light, easy to assemble, easy to transport.

Like so many things with CPAP, many of us fool around with solutions until they find one that works for them. I saw plans for a hose mgt device on here made from PVC and it has turned out to be just what I want: a simple high point between me and the box that keeps me from wrapping up in the hose and prevents rainout. The parts are readily available at the hardware, I made 2 for less than $15 ( one comes apart for travel ) and it does just what I want.
If you can't find the thread, I can easily send you the plans.

I use the Hozer also, I like that it is springy, as I move around a lot. Kathy
Any landing you walk away from is a good one; if you don't break your airplane it's excellent.

Well I flop-around like a fish out of water and have broke two of the hose-pipe stand contraptions!
. . . . . THIS IS A PLUG . . . .
-BUT- With the CozyHoze Boss™ I can use it on a train & Any motel I've been in. "IT JUST WORKS"
Image - - - URL above user have posted or CPAP.com!!!
It is so small it fits in a band-aid box or fit in your shirt pocket, it mounts to the wall using 3M Command Adhesive strips that are guaranteed not to damage surfaces and are removed with a simple tug on the tab. Or they can be used for permanent mounting. The product consists of a wall mounting hook and two spring loaded, self-retracting reels with just enough tension to keep the hose up out of your way while at the same time providing low-friction full range of motion for every sleeping position.
Traveling is a breeze.
Bert

I have considered making a cozy home boss. It will be super easy. I can't believe how much they charge for such a simple little device.
