😌 Bed Jet's Cloud Sheet: A Solution for Temperature Control Issues

The first paragraph discusses the Bed Jet system, which blows cool or warm air at the foot of the bed to regulate sleeping temperature. However, it mentions the issue of air blowing directly on the feet, which can be uncomfortable, especially in summer. The paragraph introduces Liz from Comfort Sleep Sanctuary, who shares her own solution to this problem. Bed Jet's answer is the Cloud Sheet, a two-layered sheet designed to hold air from the Bed Jet, evenly distributing it across the bed. The Cloud Sheet has elastic slits for the Bed Jet hose and snaps to close unused slits. It's available in single or dual zones for couples with separate temperature preferences. Despite its benefits, Liz doesn't use the Cloud Sheet due to its 100% cotton material, which she finds retains moisture and isn't suitable for hot sleepers. Instead, she prefers fabrics that wick away moisture, such as Lyocell, which also uses evaporative cooling to keep sleepers cool.

🛌 Alternative Use of Duvet Covers for Bed Jet Compatibility

The second paragraph explores an alternative solution to the Bed Jet's Cloud Sheet by repurposing a duvet cover. Liz suggests using a duvet cover made of 100% eucalyptus fabric from the brand Buffy, which is sustainably grown and has high-quality stitching. The duvet cover, typically used to protect a comforter, is used here to hold air from the Bed Jet due to its weave density and design. The open bottom with buttons allows the Bed Jet hose to be accommodated, creating an effective air distribution system. Liz advises that the fabric weave density is crucial for this solution to work effectively, recommending percale or sateen weaves similar to those found in eucalyptus or bamboo fabrics. She also cautions against using linen with a loose weave, as it allows too much air to escape. The paragraph concludes with a suggestion to check links in the description for more information on Buffy duvet covers and Lyocell sheets, and an invitation for viewers to share their Bed Jet solutions and engage with the content.

Transcripts

for those of you who sleep hot like

myself you may be familiar with the bed

jet

the bed jet blows either cool or warm

air

at the foot of your bed allowing you to

sleep in the perfect

comfortable temperature except there's

one tiny problem

you might find that air blowing on your

feet a bit annoying

i mean it's just fine in the winter when

you have nice

toasty air on your feet however

in the summer when you're blowing cold

air your feet might get a little chilled

while the rest of you is still too hot

if there's two of you there's an

additional challenge

you probably have two bed jets and

probably

two completely separate temperatures you

don't want them to mix

this is liz from comfort sleep sanctuary

bedjet has their own solution to these

issues

but now i have my own which i will share

with you

if you're not familiar with the bed yet

there will be a link to my full review

in the description below otherwise i

assume you know what it is

bedjet has solved this problem with the

cloud sheet

the cloud sheet is sold separately and

it replaces your top sheet

it's basically two sheets that have been

sewn together

in a series of baffles that will hold

the

air from the bed jet this way

the air is evenly distributed throughout

your bed

and obviously if you have blankets or

other things on top

it's not going to poof up quite so much

the cloud sheet has a series of

elasticized slits

along the bottom and the bottom sides so

depending on where you've placed the bed

jet hose there is probably a slit nearby

that can be slipped over the hose

and the slits that you don't use have

series of little snaps that allow you

to close them off this particular cloud

sheet

is a single zone sheet for a

single bed jet if there are two of you

and two bed jets you would purchase

either a queen

or a king size dual zone the dual zone

is a little different and that there

is stitching down the middle to keep the

air

separate the secret to a good

relationship

the cloud sheet works great except

there's a

tiny problem and the reason i don't

actually use the clot sheet

i just pull it out for video

demonstrations only

it's made of 100 cotton most of you

won't mind that

in fact you'd probably prefer it but as

a hot sleeper

i have learned to hate cotton

sure it's breathable but once it gets

wet with

say your sweat well it stays wet

instead i prefer fabric that will wick

away moisture

not only is this healthier by not

encouraging the growth

of bacteria and mold dust mites

other yucky things it keeps you dry

and also keeps you cool via a process

called evaporative cooling

in fact bed jet itself with all its

blown air

uses exactly this principle to keep you

cool

and comfortable and it doesn't take a

lot of air

depending on the weight of the bedding

that i'm using i usually set

my bed jet fan anywhere from 15 to 30

percent of

maximum so maybe it doesn't matter

that the cloud sheet is made of horrible

cotton if the bed jet itself is

compensating for this issue

well i still don't like cotton silk

linen

bamboo and yes even wool are all fabrics

that

wick away moisture and therefore those

fabrics are considered cooling fabrics

my favorite cooling fabric is lyocell

lyosol is made of wood pulp usually from

sustainably grown trees fabric itself

feels like a cross between

silk and cotton and as you wash it

just like cotton it gets softer maybe

someday

bed jet will make a cloud sheet made of

lysol

i've asked nicely but in the meantime

we are on our own so what does the cloud

sheet most closely resemble

it actually looks a lot like a duvet

cover will that work

buffy is a brand that makes high quality

lyocell

sheets and comforters although they

don't actually

call them lyocell and they also make

lyocell duvet covers presumably the

duvet covers are intended to be

purchased along with their comforter

so you can use the duvet cover to

actually protect the comforter and keep

it nice and white

but we're going to do something

different with it like their sheets

the duvet cover is made of 100

eucalyptus

which is sustainably grown in austria i

believe also the czech republic

stitching is of high quality and each of

the inside corners have a set of ties

that you would use to attach the duvet

cover to the comforter

if you were doing that you also have a

nice

series of buttons at the bottom that

would

close the duvet cover and it just so

happens those buttons at the bottom

are just far enough to accommodate

a bed jet hose

because the rest of the bottom is open i

tucked it under

my mattress so that the entire thing can

hold

air and sure enough it works

[Music]

no more curling up in a ball to avoid

the cold void of air

at the bottom of my bed in fact i could

increase the fan speed a bit

to facilitate even distribution of air

throughout the bed

if you have a duvet cover around try it

if there are two of you use two separate

twin size duvet covers completely

separate

however if you're making a purchase

there's one thing that you really need

to keep in mind

which is the fabric weave density

i have a set of gloriously soft linen

sheets made by brook lennon

i believe they also sell a duvet cover

however i would not recommend using

this duvet cover with a bed jet these

particular linen sheets have

a loose weave which is wonderful for

breathability

however with the bed jet the problem is

most of the air is going to escape right

at the end

and very little air will make it past

your feet to the rest of you

in fact the cloud sheet is made of two

separate weaves on purpose on one side

is cotton per kale

and on the other side is cotton satin

for kale is a pretty tight weave but

satin is even tighter

and the intention is that you put the

percale side down

on top of you and then the sateen side

is on the top

so the sateen side is going to hold in

all the air

and the percale side will let just a

little bit of air escape

which is going to facilitate your

comfort in other words if you're looking

for a duvet cover

look for one that has a weave similar to

percale or satine

which makes lyocell or bamboo excellent

candidates

just like the buffy eucalyptus comforter

in another video

i reviewed my favorite lyosol sheet sets

there will be a link in the description

below

not all of those brands sell duvet

covers

since duvet covers aren't quite as

popular here in the u.s

compared to say europe however any of

them

would be a good candidate assuming the

weave of the duvet covers

matches that of the sheets that i've

reviewed they would work just fine as

well

do you use your bed jet with a cloud

sheet

the problem

of cold feet if you'd like to learn more
