LHaven,

We needed 12V power for our CPAP machines too. You have to be careful to insure the power line is heavy enough to manage the start-up current required for both machines, so I didn't want to tap into the existing USB ports that were there.

I ran a dedicated, fused line from the little closet on the left side of the bed (which contains the water pump and Ground Control 3.0 controller) through the wall into the pass through, then from there up through the support for the mattress so it comes out in the center of the mattress area.

I then used a Y connector to branch in both directions to run the wires over into the little cubby areas on each side of the mattress.

In the pass through area, I just tacked the wires up along the top edge of the pass through so they wouldn't get in the way of anything.
