This latest 5.5 Version of the Arden Innovations' CPAP Hose Lift has all the same benefits as previous editions, but is now 12% lighter, 16% more compact and the base is 14% larger for even more stability.  When folded into its own bag, it weighs 5.5 ounces (156 g) and is only 2.1 inches in diameter by 7 inches in length (5.3 x 18 cm).  It is suitable for both daily home use and travel as well, due to it being very quick and easy to assemble.  It comes with a Travel Pouch with full Instructions and there are no worries about extra luggage when travelling, as it is so light and compact.

For people who prefer to not have the Hose Lift displayed in the bedroom when not using it, this is no problem as it dismantles in seconds!

The Hose Lift Base slips under and is secured by any and all mattress systems.  However, extreme care should be taken if using with an adjustable bed, bearing in mind the Hose Lift is designed to be secured by the weight of the fixed mattress!

Benefits of the Hose Lift with a CPAP or Non-Invasive Ventilator:-

• Helps prevent mask leaks caused by the pulling/tugging of the hose when moving around in bed.
• Suspends the hose above the head which helps both with prolonging the life of the hose, and also keeping it well out of the way, which in turn prevents people getting tangled up in their hose. 
• The curly cord roller loop means the hose will easily rotate when turning over in bed, allowing freedom to toss and turn without disturbing the mask seal, hence helping minimise mask leaks.
• Prolongs the life of the hoses which no longer lay across the bed, leaving them exposed to bending or being laid on.
• Along with the insulating Hose Covers, the Hose Lift helps eliminate 'rainout' (water in the tube and mask from condensation issues with humidifiers) by having the hose elevated.

Helpful Tips:-

• If you are using a humidifier your hose does need elevating and the humidifier needs to be lower than your bed.  This is due to the fact that any 'rainout' that finds its way into the hose should drip back down into the humidifier chamber, rather than the mask (due to gravity). 
• Even without the use of a humidifier or the Hose Lift, it is advisable to have the machine lower than bed height as the machine could topple over and fall onto you if the hose is pulled too far.
• Deciding where to place your Hose Lift will be a matter of preference.  Some people like it at the side of the bed, like on the image, but many people prefer it behind them, centralised with where the pillow is placed.  It is worth trying both positions to see which you prefer.

As well as being lighter and more compact, this latest Version 5.5 Hose Lift also has the following improvements to its' predecessor:

• The Hose Lift is designed of more expensive aluminium, so as to achieve nimble yet strong - compact and lightweight Dual Use: for Home and Travel.
• The Hose Lift has a reversible double bend mast - allowing an optional slight reduction in height and increase in reach.
• The Base is  tubular, of moulded fibreglass and aluminum, and it is integrally connected to the mast; 14% larger, with a redesigned deep socket mast connection, and a mast to base cord lock - it provides an even more stable platform in hose suspension support.
• The first and only true original, with a Curly Cord “roller” incorporated onto the loop, easing movement of the suspended hose within.

A summer 2011 survey of the five existing CPAP Hose Management Devices was conducted by 'Talk About Sleep'.  CPAP users were asked to trial and rank a set of performance and other criteria questions, to determine the overall best CPAP Hose management device.  The CPAP Hose Lift by Arden Innovations was determined to be the overall best and further surveys are likely to prove this new upgraded one by Arden Innovations will remain as the overall best!

All orders are sent via 1st class mail within the UK.  Masks and some other more expensive products are always sent via 'signed for' insured delivery and cannot be left in 'safe' places, but there is the option for an alternative shipping address when processing the orders.   International orders are sent via tracked Airmail, and whilst we're happy to ship internationally, we cannot be held responsible for any charges that may be added in your own country.

Delivery charges are worked out automatically by weight and you can clearly see the delivery charges before purchase.  On the rare occasion delivery charges are miscalculated by the website, a refund will be sent, as it is not our policy to make money on postage charges and neither do we add the cost of delivery into the price and offer so-called  'free delivery' like some sites and Ebay pressurise sellers to do!

Wherever possible with larger parcels, we try to re-use boxes to keep shipping costs down and protect the environment.

If a product is out of stock and the order contains multiple items, the 'in stock' items will be sent immediately and further items will follow upon arrival with no further postage charges incurred.
