Eliminate Tangles CPAP Hose Holder

My first impression when I opened the package was along the lines of "what a piece of junk!" I'd been skeptical of buying this, because my husband had tried one himself a few years ago and threw it out after a few days of misery. But I'd been struggling for nearly 6 years to sleep with a CPAP without getting tangled up in the hose, and was desperate. I first set up the hose holder as shown in the website picture, and it wouldn't stay in place--each time I moved, the base would wiggle around and end up falling to the floor. So I started experimenting with positioning it, and found that if I placed it at the head of the bed, behind my pillow (with the base between the mattress and box springs, of course), and the top angled off towards my CPAP machine, it works great. In addition to previously getting tangled up in the hose--as I'm an extremely restless sleeper who prefers sleeping on my stomach--a major problem was that as I would change position, the hose would rub over the edges of the nightstand and/or headboard, making a noise that sounded somewhat like running a stick along a picket fence: a loud TICKTICKTICKTICK that would yank me straight out of the deepest sleep. I'm thrilled to say that the hose is now elevated enough that in the 2 months I've been using it, I haven't heard that sound once! I'll admit it does look somewhat like an instrument of torture, and I wish it was a bit more substantial, as I'm wondering how long the elastic will hold up. But in the meantime, I'm exceedingly happy to be getting the best sleep I've had in at least a decade. [P.S. I know I'm not supposed to mention other products here, but I do want to note that at the same time I bought this hose holder, I also purchased a new CPAP pillow. I'm convinced it's the combination of these two items that's worked wonders for me. I'll be happy to tell you which pillow I bought if you're interested--just add a comment and I'll respond.]

I got a cpap machine and kept waking up and having to move the hose around. I felt like I needed something to hold it out the way and searched on Amazon. This one got really good reviews. It's really helped so much. I put it at the top of my bed behind my headboard. Really use to set-up. Takes a little playing around with to figure out how much hose to pull through but it's so helpful. I move around in my sleep and never had an issue turning over or anything. The mask I use has a swivel piece so that probably helps too. I did put it between my mattress and headboard at first but it kept banging against my metal headboard every time I moved. Once I moved it, everything was great. The loop holds the hose really well but still allows some pull so the mask doesn't pull on your face too much. Definitely recommend trying it!

Shortly after my SO was prescribed an ASV machine for sleep apnea and watching him try to rig up various supports for the hose, I realized he would need something like this hose holder. He was skeptical at first but after the first night of not having the hose get under his face, wrapped around the pillow, etc, he was convinced and considers it an essential part of his sleep routine for over a year now. It works with our 14 inch mattress, our 17 inch mattress, hotel mattresses and we use a thin piece of board to hold it still under our camping air mattress. As others have said, it works best at the head of the bed between the mattress and a wall or headboard. The stand itself is made of fairly strong metal tubes that are flanged on one end to fit together. The tubes originally had a piece of elastic cord running through them to keep tension when assembled and to allow you to disassemble and fold it up (kind of like a tent pole). But the elastic wore out and broke after about 6 months and we never bothered to replace it as the stand is still in great shape and stays together without it. I tied a knot in a hair tie to replace the loop at the top that holds the hose and that is working fine on its own. I highly recommend this stand to anyone who uses CPAP, BiPAP, ASV, or whatever else has a hose that gets in the way while sleeping.

This is a pretty good item for the money. It works very well and keeps the CP hose up and out of the way. It could be a little more sturdy though. Very light weight metal. Nice and quiet when my hubby rolls over and adjusts his sleeping position. Easy to use and comes with a travel bag. Will consider buying another one for our RV.

Does exactly what I need it to do - it holds my hose so it doesn't kink, tangle, or bother me while I sleep. I purchased it in May 2020, and it's worked like a charm ever since. I'm only repurchasing now (September 2025) because I just moved and it somehow got lost in the process. After three miserable nights without it, here I am!
