I have a cheaper idea which I've stolen from someone on this forum: put the hose under the covers. I've done away with that over-the-head set-up (current mask has a swivel hose attachment, so hose doesn't "have" to go over the head). The air temp is 64 degrees, the humidifier is set at 5, and no condensation at all--and no sensation of water droplets landing on my nose, either. You should make sure that your CPAP is fairly well anchored, or sitting in such a way that a sharp tug on the hose won't dump the thing on the floor.
My nose used to run like crazy in the morning, beginning shortly after I took off the mask and lasting for about 15 minutes. Now, nothing. Have no idea why that is--could be a coincidence. At any rate, I'm really pleased with this set-up.
