It was easy to set up
I want to share my review, as this is a big ticket item for me. Before I start, a few caveats:
- I bought this because I'm a very hot sleeper
- I live alone, so don't share my bed with anyone (except my pets)
- I live in SC where it's hot and humid most of the time
I decided to get this because regardless of what I did, I woke up sweaty. In the summer, I would set my thermostat to 65 and still wake up sweaty. This is not because of hot flashes! So I decided to get this in the hopes of saving on my electric bill in the summer.
It was easy to set up. I read the book and followed the instructions step by step. It wasn't difficult at all. I was nervous for a minute that it wouldn't slide under the bed, but it *just* fits underneath. If my bedroom wasn't carpeted, it would likely fit a bit better. At this time of year (it's February), I'm sometimes cold when I go to bed. This is perfect for warming the bed or my feet when I get in. I use the Sleep Cycle to set it to turn on about 1.5 hours into my sleep. I then have it turn on to run at the lowest heated setting (72 degrees) at about 40% wind current. I found the cool setting to be too cool my first two nights. I have a feeling that will change in the summer and I will use the cool setting. I am sleeping better and waking up not dripping with sweat! Finally - this is what I've been looking for to keep me cool at night! (And warm if I need it!)
Other things to note:
- it's very quiet. I sleep with a white noise machine and can't hear the BedJet at all
- it can dry your skin out, so I lotion up before I go to bed; if you have a severe dry skin condition, this may not be good for you
- I'm using 100% cotton sheets and it works for me; the company recommends high quality sheets. I don't know if 100% cotton counts as high quality, but that's what I have because they were the ones that kept me the coolest.
