If you’ve used CPAP and move at all during the night, then you know how frustrating it is to get tangled up in your CPAP tube. You may be waking up with your therapy interrupted by a crushed tube, your body out of position, or worse – your CPAP machine on the floor from a midnight rollover. See below for our keys to your CPAP tube shackles.
Here are 4 ways to keep your CPAP tube in place:
1. Replace old equipment so it keeps its shape.
When your supplies wear out (which will happen over time with use), they become loose and insecure. A loose CPAP tube will have leaks and be unable to stay in place during the night. This is the easiest fix if your tube position problems are fairly new and should be tended to first and foremost. It’s important to replace your supplies regularly to keep a strong seal the whole night through as well.
Luckily, most insurance providers are willing to cover replacement supplies on a frequent schedule. Using insurance for your CPAP supplies is convenient because it saves you money and helps you adhere to a schedule.

2. Use a machine with a good CPAP tube position.
Did you know that newer machines are more ergonomic? Not only are they designed better than machines of old, but they also will automatically adjust their setting to match your specific needs, too. The ResMed AirSense 11 AutoSet automatically adjusts mask fit to match the mask and tube you use. It also features:
- Auto-titration: Smart algorithm automatically adjusts your therapy pressure as your needs change
- EPR: Expiratory Pressure Relief reduces pressure upon exhale, avoiding high pressure mask leaks

4. Use a mask with a tube on top.
If you move around in your sleep a lot, you’ll need a mask designed to let you change position. That’s why we recommend the AirFit F30i, as it has a frame that holds your CPAP tube on the top of your head with a swivel granting free movement during the night. You’ll be free to sleep how you like without a tube wrapping around you while you slumber.
