TOMKINS RESEARCH INC BED FAN

TOMKINS RESEARCH INC BED FAN Review

Flimsy ....

"I read all these reviews before getting the bedfan and I was concerned about the Flimsy part of the reviews... So when it got here I was not surprised to see it was a little flimsy on the top... Yet I set it up and gave it a try. I have not slept that well in years. I got up that next morning and reluctantly got out of bed. Started getting dressed and went to put on my shoes. I sat on my bed... oh no.. I sat on the fan...



Thank you for making it Flimsy, I would say if it were rigid like we all think it should be, it would have been in bad shape about now. But you know sometimes we don't realize why something is the way it is until we find out for ourselves.



Awesome product, will buy more, thanks for thinking ahead and making that part flexible."

TOMKINS RESEARCH INC BED FAN Review

Helps me with Multiple Sclerosis

"I have Multiple Sclerosis. When I become overheated my MS symptoms worsen. I started using my "BedFan" this past summer. It is a great product for me! I've been able to sleep at night without the discomfort I feel when I become overheated. The "BedFan" actually lowered the electric bill because the air conditioner didn't have to run as often. I did have to buy new sheets that had a higher thread count. (The instructions recommend 400 or higher thread count.) This DID make the "BedFan" more effient. Once I bought a set of 600 threat count sheets I was able to keep the "BedFan" on a very low setting. I couldn't even feel air blowing on my feet or legs,yet my body stayed cool and comfortable. I recommend this product to fellow "MSers". Since I'm a woman and 48 years old,I also recommend it for menopausal symptoms...night sweats. This is a product that helped me save money and improves the quality of my life. Thanks for a super product "Brookstone"!!!"

TOMKINS RESEARCH INC BED FAN Review

Awesome!!

"This fan is awesome... I suffer from night sweats and hot flashes..this fan delivers quick cooling that gets me back to sleep asap. The only drawback is it is very light in weight, which is good on one hand but not so good on the other..the lightness of the product makes is slide out of place at night, which can make the air not circulate correctly under the sheets. I will be getting little velcro dots to attach it to my baseboard to hold it in place(I have a solid to the floor baseboard at the foot of my bed. Other than that it truly keeps you very cool while sleeping. I would highly recommend this product and have in fact been telling everyone I know about it!! My mom and brother just ordered one(my brother travels to Mazatlan twice a year and it is very humid and hot, so he is really looking forward to cool nights with this product, my mom suffers from extreme hot flashes due to the medicine she is taking for after care from breast cancer so she too is looking forward to hers also!!)"

TOMKINS RESEARCH INC BED FAN Review

Great idea but extremely flimsy

"Let me say that I loved this product. I was doubtful at first, but I've slept with remote controled fans pointed directly at me for years. My husband hates the air from a fan blowing directly on him. This was the answer to our problems. And blowing only on my feet, this fan really worked. And I kept the control under my pillow so I could lower and raise the air flow as needed. Unfortunately the whole thing is plastic. The bar that lifts the sheet is also plastic, attached by velcro, and after one week the bar snapped in half. So beware that its not made that well. But I did order another one."

A MUST HAVE !!!!!!!!

"This has TOTALLY CHANGED MY LIFE! Because of medication, I continually had my home set to 60º and now I keep my house at 77º all because of my bedfan! I expected a metal sheet lifter/extender but this is plastic. Would like to see this more sturdy and not in a velcro format. Would be perfect if unit was metal, with wider base, and sliding feature vs, smaller base, plastic and velcro.



Overall, this product is FABULOUS! The plastic allows your device to slightly bending when the sheets toug on the devise. I start out at HIGH SPEED when setting in bed, allowing the sheets to balloon up into a cool pocket of air, and eventually turn it to a low setting before sleeping. Good price for unit. The wired controller is great and long enough to reach to your pillow side. The power cord is also long enough to reach from the bottom of your bed to the top, to plug in your outlet. Could use some minor changes, but again, THIS HAS CHANGED THE WAY I LIVE AND SLEEP!!!!!



WONDERFUL WONDERFUL WONDERFUL! IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE TOO!"
