ChiliPad keeps your bed cool (or warm)

Gizmo of the Day, Home Automation / By /

ChiliPadRemember the Chillow (the chilled pillow)? Take that one step further, and you have the ChiliPad which cools your whole bed. Actually, it regulates the temperature of your bed, but since most folks seem to have more of a problem with the bed being too warm, they went with the ‘chill’ theme.

The ChiliPad is an advanced mattress pad that heats and cools your bed. You can tune the temperature to anywhere between 46 and 118F. Sleep research has shown that you sleep better at temperatures between 60 and 68F.

ChiliPad uses water instead of air, and it flows through the soft coils in the pad that you place on top of your mattress under your sheets.

Oh yes, if you’d like, you can just toss your mattress and get a ChiliBed.

Price: $397-$1005 (depending on size of pad)

Remember those sticky nights where you just can’t sleep with the heat? Well a Japanese company has come up with a solution for this – the air conditioned bed which works by blowing cool air over you as you sleep. The makers, Kuchofuku, already make air conditioned shirts so this just seems a natural progession of their product line! Unfortunately the website is in Japanese so details are scarce, but we do know that the bed would set you back around $250, that’s if you can find a way to have it delivered; the product is only currently available in Japan. This picture sums it up nicely:

BedFan – Keep cool at night

Gizmo of the Day, Home Automation / By /

This strange looking device is actually quite neat. It’s called the Bedfan and it’s meant for those of you that are ‘hot’ sleepers and need a bit more airflow around you but perhaps without the noise and space requirements of a floor standing fan. Also, this can be geared specifically for 1 sleeper, particularly useful if you share the bed with your significant other and they don’t want this additional air.

The Bedfan runs on just 12V via an AC adapter and pulls in air from under your bed and pushes it where you direct it, perhaps in between your bedsheet and blanket. The speed is adjustable and it can pump out 100 CFM of airflow.

The picture below will give you a better idea of how this works.
