    Especially for couples where one runs hot and the other runs cold during the night.

    Without elaborating too much, this is my situation, and we solve this by having the room cold for him and blankets for me. Actually, the situation is much better when our insurance stops jerking us around about his medication that fixes his night sweating and other related problems, but we’re American, so can’t be helped.

    It just seems like a lot of trouble when you can buy a blanket idk.

    Honestly, I’m the one paying for a subscription service that doesn’t help (insurance), so I guess I’m the clown here.

      Well I did say that this is for people that don’t like to have the AC on all night, like when the cold sleeper keeps complaining about a cold head or the noise. Like not everyone lives in the US where HVAC is the norm many people in the world have those big AC units hanging on the wall that can be pretty noisy.

        Those things aren’t too bad unless they need repair/replace…meanwhile you are recommending a solution that starts at like $2500 that only works while you’re in the bed.

        Most of the USA has HVAC, but not everyone. I grew up without it. We had in-window units and box fans. You get used to it quickly.

        I’m sorry, I’m just not seeing this as anything but an expensive luxury (that doesn’t have physical buttons unless u paid???). Seems pretty silly to pretend its anything but that.
