As you can see from the back wall I went through alot of different ways to hold the cpap mask hose.  
Well I had and Idea and then put it together it works great.  I used an I-bolt, ajustable strap with swivels, D-ring, and a velccro strap to keep the hose from slipping up or down.  The thing is hanging from the ceiling not the wall.  Because of the flexable belt/strap it even allows me to stand up and to the dress next to the bed to get my glasses.
    Please give me feedback on your hose holders.

Wow, Haku...excellent lab-ratting!!   Clever solution.   Making it so you can walk around some was a neat idea!  

Your bed not having a headboard reminds me of another idea another cpap'er came up with to keep the hose above his head out of the way.  Might be useful for people who don't want to fasten anything to a headboard, wall, or ceiling.   Jeff V's "sock ball" solution:

"I tied a couple of clean old socks around my hose several times (in a strategic location) to create a large ball. Then I pulled the bed away from the wall, put the ball between the bed and the wall and pushed the bed back in place, with the sock ball jammed between. Now the hose forms a small loop over my head when I sleep. No pulling at all; and when the bed is made, everything is out of sight."

a neat idea
I get the same result with a piece of cord nailed to the bedhead, I tie the cord around the hose to support it
otherwise the weight of the hose  tugging on the mask can be uncomfortable
