DIY BedJet Cloud Sheet Substitute

Summary

In this video, Liz from Comfort Sleep Sanctuary discusses the BedJet, a device that blows cool or warm air at the foot of the bed for a comfortable sleep temperature. She introduces the Cloud Sheet, designed to evenly distribute air from the BedJet and prevent air mixing in shared beds. However, Liz prefers using a duvet cover made of moisture-wicking lyocell fabric for its breathability and cooling properties, especially for hot sleepers. She shares tips on choosing the right fabric weave density for optimal air distribution with the BedJet.

Q & A

What is the primary function of a BedJet?

The BedJet blows either cool or warm air at the foot of your bed, allowing you to sleep in a comfortable temperature.

What issue does the BedJet's air blowing on your feet create in the summer?

In the summer, the cold air can make your feet feel chilled while the rest of your body remains too hot.

How does the presence of two BedJets in a bed affect the sleeping experience?

With two BedJets, there's a challenge of maintaining separate temperatures without them mixing, which can be problematic for couples with different preferences.

What is the Cloud Sheet and how does it work with the BedJet?

The Cloud Sheet is a two-layered sheet sewn together with baffles that hold the air from the BedJet, evenly distributing it throughout the bed.

How does the Cloud Sheet accommodate different BedJet hose placements?

The Cloud Sheet has elasticized slits along the bottom and sides that can be slipped over the BedJet hose, with snaps to close off unused slits.

What is the purpose of the dual zone feature in the Cloud Sheet for two BedJets?

The dual zone feature, with stitching down the middle, keeps the air from the two BedJets separate, accommodating two people with different temperature preferences.

Why does the speaker not use the Cloud Sheet despite its benefits?

The speaker does not use the Cloud Sheet because it is made of 100% cotton, which retains moisture and is not preferred by the speaker as a hot sleeper.

What alternative fabric does the speaker prefer for moisture-wicking properties?

The speaker prefers fabrics like lyocell, silk, linen, bamboo, and wool, which wick away moisture and provide cooling effects.

Why does the speaker suggest using a duvet cover with the BedJet instead of the Cloud Sheet?

The speaker suggests using a duvet cover because it can hold air effectively and can be made of moisture-wicking and cooling fabrics like lyocell.

What brand of duvet cover does the speaker recommend for use with the BedJet?

The speaker recommends the Buffy brand, which makes high-quality lyocell duvet covers that can accommodate a BedJet hose.

What is important to consider when choosing a duvet cover to work with a BedJet?
