Description
A thickened build for cold bedrooms and for markets where buyers compare insulation rather than price. It is the cut that holds the most loft around the tube, and it doubles as a protective barrier against pets and dust.
Key features
- Fits the tube, not the machine - Each cut is sized to a run length and a tube outside diameter, 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 zipper or 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.

Positioning
This sleeve competes on insulation performance and longevity rather than on unit price, so it suits a range where the standard cut is the volume line and this sits above it.
It also carries a clear, photographable difference - visibly thicker pile - which makes it easy to explain in a listing or a catalogue page without a spec sheet.
Construction
The heavier build uses more material and a reinforced stitch at the closure, which is the point that fails first when a thick fabric is zipped.
It washes on the standard cold gentle cycle and air dries flat; expect a slightly longer drying time.
OEM and ODM options
Fabric weight and pile are set at specification, along with length, diameter, closure, colour, label and packaging.
A common private-label structure is three tiers - standard, double-sided, thickened - sharing one colourway and one packaging design.
Fit notes
Thicker fabric has less give, so measure the tube carefully at the cuff. If the tube is slightly oversized, take the next cut up rather than forcing this one.
Available in slim and heated-tubing diameters as well as standard 22 mm.

Frequently asked questions
Is thickened the same as cat-proof?
They overlap. Both use a heavier fleece; the cat-proof cut is specified for physical protection, while this one is specified for maximum insulation. Tell us the priority and we will specify one build for it.
Does the extra thickness affect the zipper?
It needs a reinforced stitch and a suitably sized zipper, both of which are part of this specification. Too light a zipper on this fabric is a failure point we avoid by default.
Can it be supplied in a custom colour?
Yes. Colour is made to order on every cut in this line.
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 it 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, therapy brands and e-commerce sellers building a supply line for sleep-therapy comfort accessories.
B2B buyer's guide: sourcing fleece hose covers
If you are sourcing hose covers 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 - The cover length has to cover the run from the outlet to the mask connector. Buying the next length up and letting it bunch 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 landed cost. Both run on the same line, so the choice is a commercial one.
- Decide washability claims early - Machine washability is a real selling point and it fixes the fleece weight and the binding method, so it needs settling 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.
