Arctic blast

RE: Arctic blast
It's perfectly safe. The hose itself doesn't get "hot", but the coils inside will hold the warmth and stop condensation.

The heated hose and cover made a huge difference for me.

RE: Arctic blast
I'm sure you're not melting a thing with the covered heated hose. Marshmallows, chocolate, butter.

RE: Arctic blast
+1 to the hose cover suggestion. I have one and it's one of the best improvements I've done. Another big improvement is a hose hanger / holder. Much, much better hose management that way. 

And yes, even with a hose cover, you can still keep it under the covers if you wish.

I've been using a hose cover (again, get the 8ft one, the 6ft hose and 6ft covers do NOT match LOL) over a heated tube all year. Even at its hottest, it only gets slightly warm to the touch. It won't get hot enough to do any kind of damage.

But...

Is it safe to use a cover with the heated hose? Or will the whole thing just melt?

BW, DS

Thanks for your post.
Based on the answers and help you received here, I've ordered a tube cover too. Unfortunately I could only find a 6 foot cover.

Dave the Snuggle Skins tube cover on Amazon Canada is $30 CAD https://www.amazon.ca/Snuggle-Skins-Insu...=8-14&th=1  I know this is more than we pay in the U.S. but it is a very nice soft cover that will go from machine to mask with some bunching left-over.

RE: Arctic blast
Just thinking what I might do if in the same situation, and one thing that popped up was preheating the intake air just a little without warming the entire room. A coffee cup warming pad emits a bit of heat without noise and wouldn't be hazardous, but would it be enough to raise the humidity carrying capability of the air ? Do they make very low wattage space heating cubes ? (but they would have a fan which might be noisy on the bedside table).
