Kath, I know you have pretty much everything on this site, is there one area that 'newbies' can go to for all tips & tricks re CPAP? I found the tips through out the forums invaluable and have made my own hose lift (sorry for not giving you a sale) and have had 6 nights of leak free sleep.
I feel fantastic at the moment.
If you thought it was a good idea you may be able to add it to your welcome as most new members are probably also newbies to CPAP, just a thought.

Hi Kath - a quick "hints and tips" section would probably be good! 

 

Not everything works for everyone though, there are very few "rules" that apply to everyone.

Ok gentlemen, due to popular demand, I'll get that done ;)  I actually have some Tips on the website, so I'll incorporate it on here as a Blog.  Thanks for pointing this out

Apology not necessary Terry - wish my hubby was as handy as you ;)  Is it portable so you can take it away with you?  I never use my machine without a hose lift, and pleased to hear it's made a difference to you :)

Kath, I'm more an idea's man than a handy man, I don't go away that often anymore so it is more a fixed solution which attaches to the wall cabinet I have my CPAP in and then raises the hose so it comes down over the top of me.
Isn't too bad for 80c.
I took a photo for a friend at work who also uses CPAP and he is going to design his own.

Sounds great.  How about posting us a picture too?  I was once very tempted to hammer a nail in the wall at a Spanish hotel when there was no bedhead to elevate the hose to.  I resisted the temptation though ;)  This was the days before I came across the hose lift, which is so great for travel and weighs less than my make-up bag.  No comments please LOL.
