Attached to the wall above my head, I have a command strip and velcro holding my hose above my head.

It's role is purely to stop/reduce entanglements.

The role of lowering the CPAP below one's head is *way* overstated. For it to be helpful the hose would need to be at a somewhat sharp continuous angle, from ones mask to their machines, with no dips.

Add to that, hanging ones hose, would contribute to rain-out, as any moisture that condenses after the high-pint would run towards the mask.

I've been using the above hose management system for over a year now, never experienced a rainout event, never.

YMMV

No where did I suggest that a hose management system can *cause* rainout, no where.

The OP already has an occasional rain-out problem.

I was pretty clear stating, "hanging ones hose, would contribute to rain-out, as any moisture that condenses after the high-pint would run towards the mask"

So, 'contributing to rain-out' and 'causing rain-out' are not exactly the same thing? So what? It's close enough.

These are all good suggestions. I just have a second pillow that i position on edge behind by sleep pillow. I route the hose from the machine, first slightly downward, and then I route it up behind the back of the pillow, and over the top of the pillow. It costs nothing extra, and I don't have to attach things to the wall.
I have never had any issue with rain out. There is plenty of hose available if I turn side to side without any issue.

You may want to try that for a few nights to see if that will work for you vs. getting a hose lift.
The other bonus for this, is that you can do the same thing at a hotel, and you will be used to how to do it.

No they aren't (necessarily) the same, though in some contexts they can sometimes be similar..

Cause: produces an effect, eliminating the cause will eliminate the effect.
Contribute: exacerbate.

This is the context I used Contribute. This should have been obvious, as I explicitly stated how it exacerbated the rain-out.

Not sure it's the same brand but I use one that looks like the one lazarus provided a link for.

These command hooks are pretty sweet and perfect size.

Prob don’t need the six pack but you probably get the drift.

Thank you for this. Didn't know these existed. It is my new home hose management system. I attached one to the back of the piece of furniture next to the bed. Invisible. Made my wife very happy.

i’m so glad it helped! Someone here posted it first though, and I got it from them. I keep a couple of the stickies and some hooks in each of my cpap bags for when I travel.

Are the command strips re-usable, or only the hooks?

Only the hooks, but extra adhesive can be purchased separately.

The command hook said the cord bundlers hold 2 pounds on packaging. Is that strong enough for a 6 foot CPAP hose?

Here is a demonstration of how it destroys the strips to stretch them to remove them: https://youtu.be/7ZEk5YH2PFo?si=R5NuznENhWrryMMN

It is still holding for me, and I have a fleece hose cover surrounding the cpap.com standard hose.
