The invention comprises a hose support for supporting a hose extending from a CPAP or oxygen machine to a mask on a user. The hose support comprises a housing, a reel mounted within said housing and having a tape wound thereon, a tensioning mechanism operatively connected to said tape for maintaining a pre-determined tension in said tape, such that the tape extends when under a tension greater than said pre- determined tension and retracts when slack is provided, and a connector attached to a free end of said tape, said connector sized and dimensioned to be secured to a fixed position on the hose. The fixed position defining a tensioned segment of the hose, extending from said connector to the mask. The pre-determined tension is selected to support the tensioned segment of the hose away from the user, and wherein said tape extends and retracts in response to movement of the user, thereby maintaining the tensioned segment away from the user. Preferably, the pre-determined tension is adjustable such that the hose support is adaptable to different CPAP machines and mounting arrangements.
