Dear Kurt,
I have finally been able to sleep after suffering through five years of flashes of heat and high body temperature!
I purchased the Bed Fan about about a year ago, after my husband kept complaining of the amount of blowing cold air that I had to have on while sleeping each night.
I was so bad that I was going to invent the Bed Fan myself, but to my delight it had already been invented for me.
I can't begin to tell others how much the Bed Fan has benefited me (and my family). Once again I am able to easily control my body temperature and have a restful night sleep.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Thank you for the first good night sleep in years!!! My brother visited recently and found this fan, somehow?, ordered it for me and I love it so much that I find myself wanting to crawl in bed during the day when I have a hot flash ;-) I haven't yet, but it sure is tempting because I now know the relief it brings. Thank You So Much!!! I have been dealing with hot flashes and night sweats for approximately 6 years now and I don't get up at 3:00 or 4:00 in the morning anymore. Once again.......Thank You!!!

Hello once again,
I thought I’d let you know how the Bedfan was received and send you some photos of the setup, as I thought the slightly unusual setup might be of interest to you.
Firstly, it was highly appreciated and is getting plenty of use – my mother is on some medication that amplifies and extends her hot flushes, so it is a very welcome luxury J
I’ve sent you photos of the setup, as the footboard of the bed is attached to the bed as part of the frame – in addition, the base that the mattress lies on is solid chipboard, making it impossible to simply install the Bedfan at the foot of the bed. I used a jigsaw to cut a rectangle out of the area in which I wanted to install the Bedfan (I cut about an inch of extra space around it so that it would be easier to position). It now fits in very snugly, and because the footboard presses against the mattress, it holds the blanket in place allowing the Bedfan to work to its fullest – in addition it is barely noticeable that anything is there at all.
Thanks for the help in locating the package in time, as well as for the Bedfan itself – it’s great :D

NOTE: This is an unusual installation that I though some might find informative. If you do have this type of setup maybe these images will give you inspiration.
I purchased the Bedfan about a year ago to help me deal with the side effects of a total hysterectomy. I had tried other palliative remedies, e.g., pillows, sheets, nightwear, cooling mitts, with no result. But as soon as I hooked up and began to use my Bedfan, my nighttime symptoms subsided and I began to resume comfortable and restorative sleep. I dread the thought of being without it. I think I will take you up on your suggestion to bring it with me on vacation. It is lightweight and could easily fit in a suitcase.

Hello Kurt:
I received my Bedfan on Wednesday afternoon, thank you for the lightning fast shipping. I have had two wonderful sleeps, my husband is no longer disturbed by my tossing and turning and he isn’t even aware of when I turn the Bedfan off and on. I cannot say enough good things about it. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Sincerely,

Hi,
We just got the Bedfan, and last night, I installed it. It was the first night in a long time that my husband did not sweat. Thank you!
I just have one question. Will it hamper the functioning of the bed fan if I cut a slit in the bed skirt, so the bottom of the bed fan is hidden by the bed skirt ?
Thanks!
Allie

I love the Bedfan...I took it on a cruise, and it was just terrific. I have trouble sleeping on a cruise, because I just can't get the room cold enough, the menopause thing, you know. It was easy to travel with, too. I just thought I'd let you know!
Regards,

I'm currently taking two different high blood pressure medications that are time released during the day and night. Trying to get a good night sleep is difficult at best when the medication is being released. It causes me to have sweats, hot flashes, and just a "burning up" feeling. Having the bedroom ceiling fan on is a must but was not effective enough to keep me cool being under the covers. I purchased the Bedfan and now I have found the comfort I need for a good night sleep. The airflow under the covers makes all the difference! Thanks to the Bedfan I don't have the sweats or "burning up" feeling anymore while trying to get a good night rest!
Sincerely,

I never would have imagined that I would be writing this letter. I am skeptical of items offer on the Internet promising wonderful results, but was intrigued enough by your Bedfan to give it a try. It is truly amazing!! What a difference!! I am still waking up with hot flashes, but when I put the fan on I am definitely able to fall back asleep more quickly without throwing off the covers and being uncomfortable as I search for them later. I am also disturbing my husband less through the night (although he says that when the weather gets colder he may end up wearing socks to bed!) Thank-you for a wonderful product!
the Bedfan is wonderful. I have recommended it to numerous friends and if my mother doesn't order one for herself in Florida I will do so myself!
Thanks so much for being real and true to your word!

Thank you very much for such great customer service. It’s rare these days. I will continue to refer customers to you. You make a great product. My brother ordered 2 this morning. I like it to be very cold while sleeping. Since purchasing the bed fan I have been able to turn the thermostat up from 68F to 78F and have never been more comfortable. No more sweating or tossing and turning during the night! Most nights I have to turn the fan down to its lowest setting because of all the power it has. My electric bill this month compared to the same month last year is over 27% lower. I couldn’t be happier with your product.

I recently ordered my Bedfan. It was delivered the next day. I have been using it for three nights so far. I've been turning up my AC before I go to bed and enjoying the very pleasant cool air and getting a great night's rest. The lowest setting is plenty of air for me. The cool air is very comfortable and soothing and the Bedfan is very quiet, you will never know it is there noise wise. There is virtually NO installation, more like just simply ARRANGING on your bed. It is up and going in only a few minutes and not noticeable for your decor--except for the two inches the bridge stands above my bedspread at the very foot of the bed it is totally out of sight. How I wish my Mom would have had the Bedfan during her battle with leukemia. The awful night sweats etc. were just miserable for her--the Bedfan would have been a tremendous help.
This little invention is a gem! I am spreading the word to all my friends.

Dear Mr. Tompkins, I received your Bedfan several weeks ago and you mentioned you wanted to know what I thought about it. (I called about credit card payment) I suffer from high blood pressure, diabetes, and menopause.
I haven't had a full nights sleep for years. I am miserable at night, I get so hot and nothing has ever worked to cool me down. Thank heavens I found your product. It has changed my life!
Since the first night I used it, I was able to sleep through the whole night. No more tearing off comforter & sheets. I was cool the whole night through. The fan was so easy to install and has worked like a charm.
I will definitely recommend your fan to my friends and family suffering from hot flashes. Thanks so much for giving me a normal nights sleep again!!
Regards, Leigh Ann Yocum

Let me tell you about my Bedfan ........
When my husband first told me about it, (he saw something on the computer) I thought it was just another scam. Nothing would work as well as they described. Well, since I got a money back guarantee, I thought it was worth a try. WOW!! Was I surprised!
Between menopause, night sweats and a couple of health issues, I didn't think such a comfortable nights sleep was possible! It just bathes you in this luxurious stream of cool, comforting air! One of the most surprising things was that it is virtually silent!! A very low hum that I believe helps lull me to sleep! I LOVE IT, I LOVE IT, I LOVE IT!!! (Now, if only I didn't have to fight my cat on the fact that he constantly lays between me and the Bedfan !! I guess he likes it too!)
And as my husband says, "If Momma's happy, EVERYBODY'S happy!!
Thank you so much! I look forward to many years of comfortable summers, and lower electric bills!!

I bought the Bedfan for my wife who experiences hot flashes. The summer months are the worst and I was excited that she would be more comfortable without using so much air conditioning when summer gets here. I bought the Bedfan in the winter and she has not had to use it very often. We use a winter quilt, which we havent replaced with lighter summer bedding and recently on a warm spring evening she first got up and opened the windows then remembered the Bedfan and turned it on. That morning she woke up and the first thing out of her mouth was "That thing really works"
Shortly after that while she was on a 2 day trip, I woke up uncomfortable from the warm and muggy weather. I first turned on the ceiling fan but only got relief if I was uncovered. I immediately rolled over to her side of the bed and turned on the Bedfan . I couldn't believe the difference. I decided I needed to get another Bedfan for me.
Here another idea, a double Bedfan for couples in a king size bed, separate controls of course. ( try two units.. :) )
Thanks for the Bedfan , I love it too.

LOVE IT !!!! When I started having the " HOT FLASH / NIGHT SWEAT " syndrome I asked my Dad when my Mom's stopped and he replied "the day she died"!
I knew I couldn't wait that long when my sister (older I might add) told me about the "Bed fan". I immediately placed my order and upon receiving it. It is almost as good as my old "happy patch" (which I gave up because the risks just weren't worth it) but MUCH HEALTHIER.
My only wish is that you had a travel size. I have to share with you that all the women I work with kept thinking I was bragging about my new "bed PAN". Now if you could solve that problem you would make even more women happy!!

My sister emailed me a note with an attached TV interview on The Bedfan . She knows that I am ALWAYS hot, so thought of me immediately when she saw the clip.
I was skeptical at first. I mean, how can you have a fan for your bed? But, I finally watched the clip. Still not sure. So I looked it up on the web and read everything they had on The Bedfan website. It still took me awhile to decide to risk that much money. After all, I can get a fan from Wal Mart for less than $10.
Well, after the first of the summer, running my AC all night just to get some sleep, and then getting my utility bill, I decided to take the risk. My first amazement came when the owner of the company called me and offered to deliver my fan in person! What great customer service!
I am not very mechanically inclined, but had no trouble at all setting up the fan. That first night, I had to get up after about an hour, and turn the thermostat up! It only took a few nights to work out the perfect combination. I slept on a cool, soothing cloud of comfort all summer. And with the control right under your pillow, it is easy to make adjustments without really waking up. And best of all, The Bedfan PAID FOR ITSELF in savings on my utility bill!
This winter, my sister moved in with me. She is extremely cold natured, so I have kept the house a lot warmer at night than I am comfortable with. The Bedfan to the rescue! I haven't spent any nights in hot discomfort. In fact, I go to bed early to cool off!
I did make one adaptation. My feet would get cold before my body cooled off. Since I sleep on a single bed, I moved it to the side, and now the cool comfort is evenly distributed. It is so small and easy to assemble that I take it with me when I travel also. The Bedfan is the first thing I pack, and the first thing I unpack.
I wouldn't give up my Bedfan for any price or anybody!
Sincerely
A. M.
