A bed fan to snuggle up to

Juniper Foo | Apr 23, 2008

With Earth Day 2008 just past (April 22), here's a gizmo to help you reduce your carbon footprint somewhat; the key word being "somewhat" since this still sucks power. However, for those of us in the humid tropics who can't do without air-conditioning, the Bed Fan (US$79.95) sounds like a decent proposal to give up your AC unit. That is if you don't mind a rack-like contraption poking its head between your sheets. Believe us, there are less desirable things snuggling under your Sheridan.

At least this one hits the hot spot with a cool breeze that "travels between your top sheet and bottom sheet and bathes sleepers in a stream of cool, comforting air". Airflow volume can be controlled via a separate speed-control dial that can be placed on your side table or under the pillow, letting you create your own microclimate. Better yet, with rising utilities costs raising temperatures in homes, the more energy-efficient Bed Fan could well stem that bleeding household budget nicely!
