First night with hose cover, night was full of major mask leaks

First night with hose cover, night was full of major mask leaks
I got a hose cover because of excess condensation in my tubing, even with it set at maximum temperature.  However, I went from basically no leaks to a night full of major leaks last night.  I didn't change anything else with my setup, other than not having the hose taped to my headboard.  Any ideas why this could be?

@TiredTom111,

I had the same issue when I went to the plush cover, it's fairly heavy leverage wise, as I relaxed it was dragging the mask off my face because I left it dangling off the side of the bed. Looping it behind and over the top of the headboard resolved it for me. No tape necessary.

I had mine looped over the headboard as well, but I pulled the cover over the mask hose as well so perhaps it was too much leverage too close to the actual mask?  That does make sense though, especially with such a lightweight mask like the P10.
