Advice Needed Fixing rainout

So I’ve been playing around with the humidity and tube temp settings and nothing has been working for the water pooling in my mask.

I sleep in a cold room (66-68 degrees F) and have tried setting the humidity low and tube temp high, low humidity and medium tube temp. I heard lowering the machine can help but I have nothing lower to put it on and if I put it on the floor, the tube isn’t long enough because I have a higher bed frame.

I end up only getting about 5 hours out of my CPAP before having to take it off bc of the amount of water pooling in my mask.

Any advice?

To stop rainout, I put my CPAP on this IKEA Lack table. It’s about 12 inches tall. When I was traveling last month, I stayed at several different locations. At every place I stayed, i would search for a short stable surface i could use for my CPAP. I ended up setting up my CPAP on top of a plastic milk crate, a plastic step stool, and a child’s chair. All three surfaces worked great and I had no rain out. .
