It might seem a bit silly at first to think about ordering an item like this, but if you have a significant other like mine who can't sleep too close to me because I get so hot then this is what you MUST buy!!

I heard about this product on "The View" and it does exactly what it claims. I was suffering from night sweats and was constantly waking up duing the night. This fan circulates the warm air away from you and creates a gently draft. I can leave the thermostat at 78, while still sleeping comfortably under my sheets. I'm buying a 2nd one for the guest room!

My wife suffers from night sweats and cannot get a full night's sleep during the warmer months. She has been using the bed fan for several weeks. She now sleeps through the night comfortably. I would recommend this to anyone who also cannot sleep when its too warm.

We use the BED FAN every night, my wife gets her cooling and I don't get the draft of a ceiling fan. Only wish it were tougher and some other way to install it without cutting the dust ruffle.

You need to make it so that there are markings on the on off dial. With markings, you could know your regular setting and turn it exactly to that setting each time.

Love it!!
By A Fan of the Bed Fan from Chicago, IL on 7/21/2008
Pros:
Attractive Design
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

My husband just gave this to me for my birthday. I have terrible hot flashes at night, and need the air conditioner kept at North Pole levels. After using this for two nights I can turn down the air and have not needed the fan next to my bed! I've slept with the covers on all night. It works just like it says it will. I thought I'd have to have it on high, but I don't set it anywhere near high. Another bonus is that it keeps the sheets nice and cool too! Great product. If you haven't had a good night sleep due to hot flashes get this fan!

The fan does cool off my husband *and my toes* nicely, but if you are a restless sleeper and untuck the sheets the fan doesn't work. It was super easy to set-up and as the tempatures reach 100 every day here we have been using it more and more.

This works well. The air blowing between the sheets keeps me pretty cool, especially because my girlfirend insists on cuddling every night... which makes me really hot.

I would purchase again!
By MelonieVerified Reviewer from AZ on 7/7/2008
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Works great! When I brought it home, my fiance thought I was crazy and I wasted money. I get very hot when I sleep and have a fan directly on the bed all night that he hates.
The first night I used it, I turned it on as high as it would go and didn't think that it worked that well and was planning to return. The next day I read the instruction booklet again, and realized I had the bedskirt in the way from the vet/fan on the bottom. Since fixing that, it has worked great! I only have to turn on about half way and sometimes get too cold. My fiance can't believe it works so well. Highly recommend product!!

Hot flashes be gone!!!
By N. in BaltimoreVerified Reviewer from Maryland on 7/7/2008
Describe Yourself:

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Just what I have been searching for! I love my ceiling fan, but I love the bed fan more! Instead of blowing air on top of the sheets, this unique fan creates a wind tunnel between the sheets gently blowing cool air that surrounds my body and not just the top of the sheet. The control is easily accessible (can be looped on the headboard) which is perfect for middle of the night adjustments (on/off, high/low). Very quiet. Very effective. Highly recommend.

 
This thing really works!
By Wife of a hottieVerified Reviewer from Atlanta, Georgia on 7/6/2008
Pros:
Attractive Design, Easy To Clean, Excellent air flow, Simple easy to set up
Cons:
Looks a little cheap
Describe Yourself:
Bargain Hunter, Practical
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Have to admit that I was a bit skeptical, but this fan really works to cool between the sheets. I bought it for my husband, but he thought I got it for myself because of my hot flashes! I was surprised to see that on the packaging - I don't recall seeing it mentioned in the catalog, but perhaps it was. Consider marketing this to menopausal women! I developed a product for hot flashes and I know women who would really appreciate this fan!

This product is very helpful to use if a couple has different "body temperatures". Keeping the sheet intact around the bed fan is a little challenging, but a nice product.

 
Cools Your Sleeping
By Menopause Misery from Hartford, CT on 6/16/2008
Pros:
Quiet
Cons:
Flimsy
Best Uses:
Helping you sleep
Describe Yourself:
Practical
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

The good news is that since I began using this fan, I don't throw the covers off several times a night. So, it does work. But, I have to adjust the fan at the bottom of the bed every night. The top bars that go under the sheet attach to the fan by velcro and with a taller bed, it just isn't sturdy to stay up all the time. It is very light weight so it can become frustrating to set it, have it fall over, reset it and so on till it's where it needs to be. Would be better for beds without thick mattesses that are lower to the ground. But, despite that, this is the only product of its kind so if you have hot flashes during the night, this may help you with better sleep.

 
Love this product!

This bedfan works exactly as described. It is a great idea and really helps to keep you cool at night. Very quiet and gives just enough of a breeze to cool you off.

 
A definite keeper!

I bought this bed fan for my husband. We have never been compatable in the temperature department, however, this fan seems to have solved the problem for us. He is cooler and we no longer have to have a huge, loud fan blowing on both of us. We both win.

Cooler than you think!
By GregVerified Reviewer from Boston, MA on 6/3/2008
Pros:
Attractive Design, Cost effective, Minimal space, Quality construction, Quiet
Best Uses:
Keep you cool
Describe Yourself:
Practical
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I purchased this item for my fiance who is always hot sleeping and she does not get quality sleep. With the bedfan she can keep the covers on all night and get a constant breeze to keep her cool. It is a great alternative for people who's windows cannot accomodate an air conditioner. If you wanted to purchase a portable AC for $400 you could, but the bedfan is a more cost effective way to go. It is also hidden under your sheets and only uses minimal space. Great for small apartments/condos.

I have nerve damage in both of my feet causing them to always be extremely hot. Before I got this fan I would toss & turn always looking for a cool place to put my feet. Usually outside the covers. With this fan my feet stay nice & cool and under the covers. My dog even likes it and will stay under the covers all night.

Didn't work well for me
By Sweatie In BedVerified Reviewer from Boston, MA on 5/30/2008
Pros:
Thin
Cons:
Not self contained
Describe Yourself:
Practical
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

The manual suggests using high thread count sheets which needs to go over the bedfan for proper functioning, otherwise the air doesn't get sucked away correctly. We have a high bed and the sheet kept riding up, opening up a place for the air to enter instead of from the bed. It would be great if the fan had a plastic backing instead of relying on the sheet for proper air flow.

What an amazing find!
By cktogetherVerified Reviewer from Woodbridge, VA on 5/19/2008
Pros:
Attractive Design, Easy To Clean, Quiet
Best Uses:
Cool Summer, Night Breeze
Describe Yourself:
Practical
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

My husband and I fight over the air conditioning every summer. I like it cool, he would rather not see his breath. I sleep hot, he just sleeps. So this is perfect and so far, has been a marriage saver. I had it on my side of the bed but my husband decided we should share so it is now in the middle of the bed. The control lets you pick how much air is coming thru and because it is pulling air from under the bed it is cool. And it's quiet. The energy bills should be quiet abit lower this summer!
