DIY CPAP Hose Lift System
DIY CPAP Hose Lift System
Used 1/2 inch pvc and made me a way to keep hose over head... will let you know how it works out... less than $6.00
Re: DIY CPAP Hose Lift System
First night with hose hung behind and overhead and it worked pretty good. Data a little better. STILL working with the pillow thing. use one part of the night, change to another... Still searching for that perfect fit. Suggestions?

Good morning, you might want to check out a buckwheat/millet hull pillow. The advantage is you can adjust the hulls and form a depression next to your face so that you can nestle the mask in it and it won't get pushed around by the pillow.

Thinking of quitting CPAP?
No problem, here's the first thing to do when you quit:
Advanced funeral planning. When you give up CPAP, you'll probably need it.

Good thinking, USMC. Hope the hanger you made is working well for you.
When you mentioned PVC pipe, it reminded me of how Craig made one. Here's a link to a post that has photos of the way he did it:

Re: DIY CPAP Hose Lift System
We created a variation on Craig's design; with a swivel arm hanging over the pillow.
Nice job!
