Everybody knows someone who sweats out every last drop of salty goodness during the night. Hey, that person might be you! It’s not me, but I know a few people who could benefit from this gadget. These are the same people who sleep with the ceiling fan on in the winter and an extra oscillating fan plus an in-window A/C unit in the summer. Again, this might be you!

Enter the BedFan, a $100 contraption that attaches to the end of your bed and blows cold air in between your sheets. As the manufacturer says, “Menopausal women will kill for this!” Although I think if you asked a menopausal woman, irrational and agitated though she may be, she’d probably tell you that the trade-off of going to prison and the weight on the soul of having killed another human being for a $100 fan might not be a trade-off worth pursuing. That’s just me, though; a non-menopausal man.

Here’s more info and an ultra-scientific image…

“As your body generates heat, that heat is trapped at night between your sheets and absorbed into your mattress. Until now, the only way to get rid of the heat was kick off the sheet and turn the air conditioner up high, to cool down the whole room – or your whole house. But Bed Fan gets right to the focal point of the problem. Placed at the foot of the bed, Bed Fan sends a calm breeze directly between your sheets. The cool breeze travels between your top sheet and bottom sheet and bathes sleepers in a stream of cool, comforting air. And it keeps you cool by pushing out the body heat that gets trapped beneath the covers, causing you to sweat.”

Seems like it might work. Would any of you bed-sweaters use this thing?

  • Considering the crap I got under my bed… not sure I want to be breathing it in all night long with this machine.

  • I have been using one of these for about a year now (wife has one too) and I must say the thing really works. I got it because I am a hot sleeper, my wife had to get one when she started going through menopause, It worked wonders for her. The other thing we found is that we started saving about 20% on our electric bill during last summer just from using it. Jon don’t worry about the dust bunnies climbing in bed with you, we too are afraid to look under the bed but it has never been a problem. I highly recommend the Bedfan. IT works.

  • Bought it. Ditched it. Unless you sleep with only a sheet over you it might work. But a heavy a blanket or a comforter of any moderate weight will result in only your feet being chilled. And it must be mentioned that the true purpose of this thing is to relieve the suffering of the often dutch-ovened. It gets farts out fast.

  • The best solution is really for exotherms to sleep with endotherms. That’s my solution. But I can see why one might not want to choose their bed partners based on how much heat they emit or absorb, so I suppose one of these would be handy for exotherms who sleep alone. And for paired exotherms like Keven, it’s not just a good idea, it might be all that keeps them from spontaneously combusting!

  • Another idea for night sweats are the use of special moisture wicking pajamas. Great way to stay cool and dry at night. Check it out Cool-jams.
