CPAP HOSE LIFT fixed bracket experiences
I have the CPAP HOSE LIFT using it under the mattress however it tends to lean so I am asking if anybody has used the fixed base bracket which screws onto the bed base & what is it like.

Well, I used the bracket last night and found it amazing..... Hubby fixed it on a small block of wood to the wall so the hose lift is now higher than it was when I used to place it underneath the mattress. The result meant even less tubing hanging down. I've always raved about the hose lift, and now I'll rave even more ;) Thanks for the nudge David and I can't believe I've had these brackets in my possession all these years without trying one LOL.

When I first got my hose lift my son fastened it with little hooks to the back of the headboard on my adjustable bed. Works brilliantly. And the bed can be moved with it all attatched to it.

Kath they are so expensive. Mine cost £1300 and that was some years ago now. Struggling with it now as it has a padded base and I can't get my wheelchair close enough to transfer. Need an adjustable hospital bed really but can't see that happening. :(

Perhaps I won't then LOL. So sorry to hear of your predicament Faith.... it's enough just setting up the CPAP each night, let alone having problems getting in the bed :( Good that you remain cheerful though!
