Description
A short fleece sleeve that covers only the last 15 in (38 cm) of the run, between the mask connector and the first support point. It is the part of the tube that drapes across the face and chest, so it is where the rub and the plastic rattle are felt most; covering just this reach costs less fabric and less weight than a full-length sleeve.
Key features
- Fits the tube, not the machine - Cut for a 15 ft run over standard 22 mm tubing, with a small excess so the tube can bend inside the sleeve instead of pulling the cover tight.
- Passive condensation control - The fleece slows heat loss along the tube so less moisture condenses in the low points of the run - the effect users notice as less gurgling near the mask.
- Closure you can fit in seconds - The hook-and-loop closure means the cover goes on with the tube already connected to the machine, which is how most users actually fit it.
- Machine washable - Cold gentle cycle and air dry. The sleeve keeps its pile and its colour across repeated washes, which matters for a part that is laundered regularly.
- Noise and contact comfort - It takes the plastic-on-fabric rattle out of the tube and keeps dust and pet hair off the surface it touches.

Where this part earns its place
A full-length cover is the right answer for condensation over a long run. A short sleeve answers a different complaint: the last reach of tube lying across the pillow and the chest, which is the section users actually touch and hear.
Because it is only 15 in (38 cm) long, it also suits a replacement programme sold alongside a main cover, and it packs to almost nothing.
How it works
The sleeve adds a fleece layer over the mask-end reach of the tube. That softens contact against skin and bedding and damps the sound the ribbed tube makes when it drags across a pillow or a headboard.
It is a comfort part, not a therapy part. It sits outside the tube, does not touch the airpath, and does not change pressure or flow.
Construction and materials
hook-and-loop closure tape runs the full 15 in (38 cm) so the sleeve can be fitted without disconnecting the mask, which is how it will be used in practice.
Edges are bound at both ends so the sleeve holds its shape while it is being threaded on and does not shed pile into the connector area.
OEM and ODM options
Made to order on: exact sleeve length, diameter, closure type, colour matched to a swatch, then label and packaging.
For retail programmes we can supply this as a two-pack or a four-pack with a common header card, which is the usual way it is merchandised.

Frequently asked questions
Is a short sleeve instead of a full cover, or as well as one?
Both are sold. Most buyers stock a full-length cover for condensation and a short sleeve for contact comfort. They can be used together on the same run.
Can it be made in a different length than 15 in (38 cm)?
Yes. The sleeve is cut to your specified length and the exact figure is fixed on the approved sample before bulk production.
Does it fit both mask types?
It fits the tube, not the mask, so it works with nasal, pillow and full-face masks that use standard 22 mm tubing.
Does this cover need a prescription or carry a medical claim?
No. A hose cover is a comfort accessory, not a medical device. It needs no prescription, it is commonly FSA/HSA eligible in the United States, and it makes no therapeutic claim - it does not treat sleep apnoea and it does not change therapy pressure.
What compliance documentation can you supply?
Materials can be supplied with REACH and RoHS test reports on request, and the factory operates an ISO 9001 quality system. Tell us the market you are importing into and we will confirm which documents that market requires before the order is placed.
Why source this product with us
- Factory-direct pricing - Buy from the manufacturer rather than a trading company, with no middleman markup on sleep-therapy accessories.
- One-stop customisation - Closure, dimensions, fleece weight, colour and packaging handled from sample to mass production in a single factory.
- Low-risk trial - A flexible first order and 1-10 pcs pre-production samples, so you can validate the market before committing to a programme.
- Verified compliance - An ISO 9001 quality system and materials that can be supplied with REACH and RoHS test reports on request. Hose covers are comfort accessories, not medical devices: they need no prescription and do not alter therapy pressure.
- Reliable delivery - On-time production schedules, EXW / FOB / DDP terms, and a reply to every enquiry within 24 hours.
Who it is for: DME distributors, sleep clinics and therapy brands adding a mask-end comfort part to an existing range.
B2B buyer's guide: sourcing 15 ft fleece hose covers
If you are sourcing this cut for a DME distributor, a sleep clinic or an online therapy store, these are the points that decide whether a supply relationship works long term.
- Match the length to the run, not to the machine - A 15 ft cover suits a 15 ft run from the outlet to the mask connector. Buying the next length up and letting it bunch is a common first-order mistake, and it shows up later as fit complaints.
- Settle the diameter before the decoration - Standard tubing is 22 mm, slim tubing around 15 mm, and heated tubing is thicker at the cuff. Getting the diameter wrong is the one error a colour programme cannot compensate for.
- Choose the closure by who fits it - A zipper suits the user who fits the cover with the tube connected; hook-and-loop suits programmes competing on the lowest possible landed cost. Both are produced on the same line, so the choice is a commercial one.
- Decide washability claims early - Machine washability is a real selling point in this category. It also fixes the fleece weight and the binding method, so it needs to be settled before sampling rather than after.
How ordering works
- Send your requirement - Tell us the product, quantity, target market, branding and packaging. Include your artwork if you have it - the enquiry form on this page reaches our export team directly.
- Quotation and specification - We reply within 24 hours with a quotation, MOQ and a written specification so both sides work from the same document. Pricing is quoted per project and confirmed in writing.
- Samples before production - We supply 1-10 pcs pre-production samples, typically in 5-7 days. Nothing goes to mass production until you approve the sample in writing.
- Production and quality control - Multi-point in-line and final inspection against the approved sample, with an inspection report issued before shipment.
- Shipment and documentation - We arrange EXW, FOB or DDP terms with the freight and customs documentation your market needs, and send shipping documents as soon as the goods are loaded.
- Repeat orders - Your approved sample and specification are kept on file, so repeat orders are produced to the same standard without restarting development.
Customisation and private label
- Logo and branding - Woven labels, printed logos, embroidery, heat transfer and custom hangtags.
- Private label - The product ships under your own brand, with your artwork on the product and the packaging.
- Colour and material - Colour matching to your palette, and fleece weight, pile or lining upgrades where the specification calls for them.
- Dimensions - Length, diameter and closure position made to your measurement rather than to a standard cut, including sizes outside this range.
- Packaging - Polybag, header card, retail box or carton configuration to your requirement, including barcodes for retail and clinic-pack labelling.
