SnuggleHose Cover for the Respironics ComfortCurve Nasal Mask
SnuggleHose Cover for ComfortCurve Nasal Overview
The SnuggleHose Cover for the Respironics ComfortCurve Nasal Mask fits the special 6-foot tubing for the Respironics ComfortCurve CPAP Mask. It includes covers for the two smaller tubes that "Y" from the main hose and connect to the mask. It's made of very soft polyester fleece material which slides over a CPAP hose and fastens with velcro.
By insulating your tube, you'll be cutting down on the formation of water droplets and condensation in the hose, preventing late-night disturbances.

Easy to Use and Improves Sleep Therapy Compliance
Designed specifically for the ComfortCurve CPAP Nasal Mask by Respironics, the hose cover is made with a soft polyester fleece that fits over the hose and secures with Velcro. The hose cover can make your CPAP parts look less like medical equipment while improving your overall sleep therapy compliance.
What’s Included:
- One SnuggleHose Cover for the Respironics ComfortCurve Nasal Mask
This product does not include the hose. It is the hose cover only.
Cleaning Instructions:
The SnuggleHose Cover for the Respironics ComfortCurve Nasal Mask can be machine washed in cold water on a gentle cycle and machine dried on low heat. To prevent attaching or wrapping around other clothes, it is recommended to fasten all velcro fasteners or place in a delicates bag.
Alternatively the SnuggleHose Cover for the Respironics ComfortCurve Nasal Mask can be hand washed in cool water and laid flat to dry.Historically, a standard CPAP hose is six feet long, has an internal diameter of 19mm and a connector cuff with an internal diameter of 22mm. Today some hoses are 6 feet long, others are 4 foot long, 8 foot long and 10 foot long. Some hoses have an internal diameter of 19mm (standard) and others have an internal diameter of 15mm (thin or slim style). To use a slim 15mm hose, the machine must have a menu option setting to accept the narrower diameter of a 15mm hose and still deliver the prescribed pressure to the mask to ensure effective therapy.
All hoses have a 22mm connection cuff and fit on all CPAP masks. The connection ports on all CPAP, APAP and BiLevel machines, humidifiers, and masks are a standard size, so a standard CPAP hose will fit on all. Some of the very small machines use a hose adapter between the machine and the 22mm cuff of the hose.
Some manufacturers offer a heated hose option designed to work only with their machines. To read more about heated hoses see the "What is a heated CPAP hose?" article included in this FAQ section.
A few auto-titrating CPAPs and BiLevels require a pressure line sensor to detect breathing patterns and pressure needs. The sensor may be in the form of an adapter with narrow tubing attached or the narrow tubing is threaded inside the six foot hose. In both cases, one end of the narrow tubing is plugged into the machine. Those machines will not operate without the pressure line sensor.
A heated CPAP hose contains copper coils embedded in, or wrapped around, the hose. These coils are gently heated to conduct a constant temperature throughout the length of the hose. This enhances the comfort of the therapy and reduces or eliminates rainout caused by the water condensing as it travels through the hose to the mask.
Heated hoses are more expensive alternatives to cloth tubing insulation, but they prevent rainout in nearly all cases. The Hybernite Rainout Control System is a stand alone option that can be used with any machine to prevent rainout and increase delivered humidification.
Some manufacturers have developed heated hoses to work specifically with select machines in their product lines. The ClimateLineAir™ Heated Tube for AirSense™ 10 and AirCurve™ 10 Machines is an example of a heated hose used by the AirSense™ 10 and AirCurve™ 10 Machines.
Here are some heated hoses we carry:

Companies such as Snugglehose provide a cost effective tubing insulation available in several colors and styles. Not only will the covers reduce or eliminate rainout, they also provide a more personal and less institutionalized appearance. An example of a Snugglehose is shown below.

Solutions to rainout include raising the temperature of your bedroom, insulating your tubing with a Snugglehose, or purchasing a CPAP machine with an integrated heated hose.
Your CPAP hose will last longer if it is detached every morning and hung to air dry.
Drying the hose each morning will also prevent bacteria from growing in the damp interior and help reduce the possibility of colds and other health issues. Remember, what is in the hose goes into the airway.
If you are not drying the hose daily, then be sure to replace the hose very frequently as negative health issues will result!
Hose care tips:
- Remove the hose by gripping the end or cuff, not the hose itself
- Hang the hose to dry after each use
- Wash hose weekly to avoid residue and maintain health
- Protect the hose from curious pets
Hose care tools:
- A Hose Quick Connect helps the tube to easily disconnect from the humidifier
- Purdoux Mask and Hose Soap is specially formulated mild soap designed to clean a CPAP hose and mask.
- The Tube Cleaning System is a tube care kit to rinse, soak and dry the hose.
- The CPAP Tube Brush Second Gen is used to scrub the inside of a tube. It is available for both slim line and standard diameter hoses.
- The Republic of Sleep Hose Cover wraps the length of the tube in soft fleece material. Although its intention is to help reduce rainout (water collecting in the tube) many CPAP users report it deters pets from using the hose as a chew toy.

Signs of wear include dry, cracked places on the inside lining or on the rubber ends; "stretch marks" near the rubber ends; mineral deposits or mold from water left inside the hose; or a visible puncture or tear in the material.
There are a few ways to keep from getting tangled up in your CPAP tubing. Try running your CPAP hose behind the headboard of your bed. Also, there are several types of suspension systems we carry here at CPAP.com. You can see the different types of Hose Management Systems under our Comfort & Cleaning section. One example is the HoseBuddy Tangle Free CPAP Hose Suspension System:
Here are some items we recommend that may help with hose comfort:

It was not as easy to thread the hose through the cover as you might think. While it does... have a "cozy" feel to it once it's on, now the hose sticks to the bedding instead of just sliding out of the way while I'm sleeping. Not sure I'll keep using it. more...
This product is absolutely the best. No rain out, even though I don't run the heater, I still get... or use to get rain out. Not any more. I love the quietness of the hose, no more noise when it hits the head board, or air moving through the hose. Also, the hose seems to lay flat on the bed now, must be the weight of the snugglenose cover. GREAT PRODUCT!! more...
good product! reduces rainout. I'm using it with a high performance hose and the smaller tube on my... Opus 360 mask. Fit isn't perfect, but it works pretty well more...
It is a little difficult to put on, but it does stop the condensation or rainout as some refer to... it. I use my humidifier at low settings, no higher than 2, but that is enough to cause condensation and I have not experienced it at all using the snugglehose. It also makes the hose nicer to touch. If you use a humidifier, I recommend this product. more...
You've got to have this one--the hose on the comfort curve is smaller and has the "Y" connection to the... nasal pillow so a conventional hose cover doesn't fit correctly. This one fits perfectly and completely stopped the "nightly bathing" I was enduring due to active air conditioning and a heated humidifier not getting along. Great product! more...
Well worth the cash, used the tubing system with and without it, prefer to have the cover on.
Having used it only for a week it seems to work. What I didn't realize that I would have to... remove/thread it each time I cleaned the small hoses in the ComfortCurve, which is daily. You always get what you want but it is a little bit different. I am please with it. more...
Makes a world of difference! Snuggly warm!
...but not the reasons most people are giving. I have 2 cats and I've had to replace the hose... several times in the past 10 years because their claws put little holes in it. This will totally eliminate that problem. Thank You!!! more...
Way too expensive for the cheap pieces of felt cloth I recieved to cover over my tubes.
It's soft and it never feels cold to the touch. I never wake up anymore due to the hose... hitting my skin. more...
The is cover is great. It was easy to put on, and is so soft and comfortable. It also cuts... down on the noise of the air rushing through the hose and the noise that the hose makes moving around on the blanket. Should be included with every system sold buy a manufacturer. more...
