Yes it is.

Yes I am using a hose cover, hose hanger and my machine is much lower than my pillow too but the condensation in the mask persisted. Last few days the humidity is OFF and there is no water in the chamber.
Anyway, I found placing kitchen towel inside and cutting a small hole in the kitchen towel worked a treat last night. There was no condensation in the mask...The first time ever since I can remember. Also it was a fairly colder night than usual in London and still I have no condensation in the mask.
The other bonus was my tube temp is set to 28c and the hose was dry last night , I did wake up a little dry too but I can deal with that at the moment without turning humidity to 1. I will give it a few days doing this and see how I get along.
For anyone with similar issues in the future, I attach images of how I lined the inside of the mask with kitchen towel. I basically put the mask on the kitchen towel and then allowed a further 3 centimetres around it and cut the Kitchen Towel out. I then placed it inside the mask without any tape and made a gash were the hole is in the front of the mask with scissors and made the gash slightly larger with my hands to allow air flow.
