ResMed Airsense 11 heated hose

[buggy285]

the heated hose that came with my new Airsense 11 is incredibly stiff and awkward. is that just how its supposed to be or will it get more flexible with time?

I found the heated hose for the Airsense 10 was pretty stiff. I added a 'SleepWeaver Feather Weight Tube' to the end of the AS10 hose and no more stiff hose problem, very flexible. I do have a hose hanger also which keeps the hose overhead..

I have used ResMed 10's for years and a couple months ago I bought a Model 11. Other than the degrade in the connection of a heated hose of the 10 vs. 11, I cannot tell the difference.

Same with me. I can’t tell any difference between the Airsense 10 and 11 hoses.

Yup, my primary machine is the DS2 with the 12mm heated hose which super flexible. Even the Respironics 15mm heated hoses I used with my DS1 were much more flexible than Resmed's. The Airsense 10 I have is my backup/travel machine which I use occasionally just to 'exercise' it and the SleepWeaver Feather Weight Tube extension makes a world of difference in comfort. It's really surprising Resmed doesn't make a hose as flexible as what the DreamStation uses.

I never really gave the heated hose on my 10 AutoSet much thought......til now. I have a hose cover on it and I use a hose hanger. 

I don't have to handle it all that much, thanks to the hose hanger. If you ain't using one, you're missing out.
