I have only been on the cpap for a little over a week, but find the hose the biggest obstacle.  Any ideas on a stand or a way to rig it so that it still gives a little (to toss and turn) but I will not have to readjust it all the time?

I use a brass bed head board and feed the hose through a shower curtain rod ring and also open the ring to stay around the metalwork in the head board. You could also use a rubberband to hold the hose on your head board and off your shoulder so you can move more freely.

the hose just goes under the covers with me - i sleep with the machine close to me on the night stand so it gives me wiggle room

 I find it helps to place two pillows at each side, sort of creating a chamber to sleep in and run the hose above them, thus allowing a lot of give as well as ensuring you don't roll onto it.

 I use a LONG hose--8 foot, so I tie it to the headboard.  You could also put a hook above the head of your bed and hang it from that.  It is really just trial and error until you find out what is comfortable for you.

I keep my hose between the pillow and the headboard.
