CPAP Hose Cover – 6 ft Soft Fleece Sleeve

📦 What's Included

  • 1 × CPAP Hose Cover, 6 ft (1.8 m) soft fleece sleeve
  • 4 × Hose Cover Clips

Universal Fit for Standard & Heated Tubing

Improve the comfort of your CPAP therapy with the CPAP Hose Cover – 6 ft Soft Fleece Sleeve. Designed to fit both standard and heated CPAP tubing, it adds a layer of insulation that helps reduce condensation (rainout), cuts hose noise and keeps cold tubing off your skin.

Rainout is a temperature problem, not a machine fault. Warm, humidified air leaves the machine and travels down a tube sitting in a cool bedroom; as it cools it can no longer hold the moisture, so water condenses inside the hose and eventually arrives at your face. Insulating the tube keeps the air closer to the temperature it left at, which is why a simple fleece sleeve often makes a noticeable difference on cold nights.

Made from ultra-soft fleece, the cover also stops the tubing feeling cold against your skin and protects it from everyday scuffs and abrasion. The full-length design fits most 6 ft (1.8 m) hoses, and the closure lets you fit and remove it without disconnecting the tubing.

Suitable for home or travel, and fully washable.

Fits Standard & Slimline Tubing Works with Heated Tubing Soft Fleece 6 ft / 1.8 m 4 Clips Included Washable
Note: This listing includes the hose cover only. The CPAP hose, mask, humidifier, machine and other accessories are not included.

If rainout is bad, a cover helps but may not fix it on its own. The usual remedies are lowering your humidifier's humidity level, warming the bedroom, or using climate-control heated tubing. Check your machine's user guide, or ask your provider, before changing any setting — and see the troubleshooting block below.
Fewer Cold-Night Problems
A layer of insulation keeps the air closer to the temperature it left the humidifier at, which helps reduce condensation building up inside the hose.
Quieter Nights, Softer Feel
Soft fleece reduces the noise of the hose dragging against furniture or bedding, and feels gentler against the skin than bare tubing.
Protects Your Hose
Helps prevent scratches, scuffs and everyday wear, so your tubing lasts longer between replacements.
On in Seconds, No Disconnecting
Slides over the tubing and secures along its length, so you never have to unhook the hose from the machine or mask.

📏 Will It Fit My Hose?

A cover goes around the outside of your hose, so what matters is the outside of the tube and its length — not the internal bore figures you may see quoted elsewhere.

Standard 22 mm tubing ✓ Slimline 15 mm tubing ✓ Heated tubing ✓
  • Standard tubing — the common thicker hose, usually sold as 22 mm. The cover is sized for this
  • Slimline tubing — narrower and lighter. The cover fits, just more loosely
  • Heated / climate-control tubing — fits too; leave the electrical connector at the machine end clear
  • Length — sized for a 6 ft (1.8 m) hose. On a longer hose the last stretch stays bare; on a shorter one, gather the excess at the machine end
  • Leave both cuffs exposed — the cover should never wrap over a connector
  • Not sure which tubing you have? Slimline is noticeably narrower and lighter. If in doubt, ask us

Compatibility

  • Standard 22 mm CPAP tubing — ResMed, Philips, BMC, Fisher & Paykel and most others
  • Slimline 15 mm tubing, including ResMed SlimLine
  • Heated and climate-control tubing, with the connector left clear
  • 6 ft (1.8 m) hoses — the standard length most machines ship with
  • The hose connectors or cuffs themselves — these must stay exposed
  • The mask, frame, cushion or elbow — this goes on the tubing only
  • Anywhere near the mask vent, which must never be covered

If you use heated tubing, check your tubing's own instructions. Insulating a climate-control hose may mean it reaches its target temperature more readily — you might find you can run a slightly lower tube temperature setting than before.

How to Fit It

A minute or two, and the hose stays connected throughout.

  • 1
    Lay the hose out straightStretch the tubing out along the bed or floor so it isn't coiled. Easier than fighting a loop.
  • 2
    Open the cover along its lengthUndo the zip or hook-and-loop seam fully, and lay the open cover alongside the hose with the soft side inwards.
  • 3
    Close it around the tubeWork from one end to the other, closing the seam as you go. Keep the hose centred so the fleece sits evenly all round.
  • 4
    Leave both cuffs clearSlide the cover back a little from each end so the connectors are fully exposed. Nothing should wrap over a cuff or an electrical contact.
  • 5
    Fit the four clipsSpace the clips evenly along the covered hose to hold the fleece in position, so it can't work loose or bunch up as you move in the night. Keep them away from both cuffs.
  • 6
    Check the hose still moves freelyTurn over as you would in the night and make sure the covered hose isn't stiffer or catching. A cover shouldn't make the tube drag at the mask.

Fit it on a dry hose. Trapping moisture under fleece is the one way a cover can make hygiene worse rather than better.

💧 Still Getting Rainout? Try These Too

A cover reduces rainout by insulating the tube, which is often enough on a mildly cool night. If you're still waking to water in the mask, it's a temperature-and-humidity balance problem and these are the usual levers.

  • Lower the humidity level on your humidifier a step at a time — less moisture in the air means less to condense
  • Warm the bedroom, even by a degree or two; rainout is much more common in winter
  • Keep the hose under the covers alongside you, so body heat helps rather than cold air
  • Raise the machine so the hose runs downhill away from your face — any water then drains back to the chamber rather than to you
  • Consider climate-control heated tubing, which manages tube temperature directly and is the most reliable fix
  • Check your machine's user guide before changing settings, and speak to your provider if rainout persists

🔧 Keep Your Hose in Top Condition

A cover protects the outside of the hose. These look after the inside, and the rest of the setup.

🧼 Cleaning Instructions

Regular washing keeps the hose cover fresh and the fleece soft. Every two to four weeks is usually enough, since it doesn't touch your skin the way strap covers do.

  • Remove the clips and take the cover off the tubing before washing — never wash it with the hose inside, and never put the clips in the machine.
  • Wipe the clips with a soft, damp cloth and dry them before refitting.
  • Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a mild, unscented detergent.
  • Avoid bleach and fabric softener, which flatten the fleece and reduce its insulating effect.
  • Air drying is kindest to fleece. Only tumble dry on low heat if the care label allows it.
  • Make sure both the cover and the hose are completely dry before refitting, so no moisture is trapped underneath.
  • Take the chance to check the hose itself while the cover is off — look for cracks at the cuffs and cloudiness inside.
  • Replace the cover if the fabric becomes thin, matted or torn, or no longer fits snugly over the hose.

Why Choose This Hose Cover?

Rainout and a cold hose against the skin are common, easily overlooked annoyances of CPAP therapy, and neither needs a new machine to fix. This fleece sleeve adds a layer of insulation over your existing hose, addressing condensation and cold-to-the-touch tubing while also cutting the rustle a bare hose makes against bedding. Since it fits standard and slimline hoses, works with heated tubing and washes on a gentle cycle, it's an easy, low-cost way to make nightly therapy more comfortable without replacing any of your core equipment.

  • You wake to water in the mask or gurgling in the hose, especially in winter
  • The bare tube feels cold against your face, neck or arm
  • The hose rustles or scrapes against the headboard or a bedside table
  • Your bedroom runs cold overnight
  • You've turned the humidifier down to stop rainout and now your nose is dry
  • You want to protect a new hose from scuffs from the start
  • You travel and want the hose padded in your bag

⚠ Important Notice

This listing includes the hose cover only. The CPAP hose, mask, humidifier, machine and other accessories are not included and are sold separately. The cover suits most 6 ft (1.8 m) standard and slimline CPAP hoses, including many heated tubing models.

When fitting it:

  • Leave both connectors fully exposed — the cover must never wrap over a cuff, and never over the electrical contacts on heated tubing
  • Never cover the mask, cushion, elbow or vent — the vent is how exhaled air leaves the mask and must stay completely clear
  • Fit it to a dry hose only, and make sure the cover itself is dry — trapped moisture under fleece defeats the purpose
  • Check the hose still moves freely once covered, so it cannot pull at the mask or kink
  • Keep the covered hose away from heaters, radiators and open flames

Pressure settings are prescribed by your clinician. Humidifier and tube temperature settings are comfort settings you can usually adjust yourself — check your machine's user guide first, and ask your provider if you are unsure. If you notice any change in airflow or therapy performance after fitting the cover, remove it and consult your CPAP provider or healthcare professional.
