I’m Glad I Spent The Money #1: My Bed Jet

I bought my wife a second generation Bed Jet six years ago.

A Bed Jet is a heater and cooler that blows air into a two-ply sheet on your bed. We have the bed sheet below the Cloud sheet the air heats or cools. We have a two compartment sheet because my wife and I have different temperature preferences. I would like the bedroom to be at 68 degrees. She would like it to be 73 degrees. During the summer I run it cold. My wife runs it hot. She runs it hot all year long.

The Bed Jet will run between 66 degrees and 104 degrees. The hot temperature is below the burning temperature of dust. When you run the heater, you will not get the burning smell you have when you kick on your furnace during the first cold snap in the fall.

When I wake up in the middle of the night to answer the call of nature, I hit the Turbo Heat button for a few minutes of warm to fall back asleep.

The Bed Jet is selling for $369. For my setup you need need two units and a Cloud Sheet which is $111 for the king size sheet. I spent $619 on mine. Alternatives to the Bed Jet are devices pumping water into a fitted sheet on the bed and run two to three thousand dollars.

The annual cost of the Bed Jet so far is $102 a year and declining. Thirty cents a day has been worth it for me. What would you spend for a good night’s sleep?
