Bedfan Installation
on a "Normal" bed
Before reading all the instructions you may want to just look at the pictures do
see how it works. A detailed description of the Bedfan's parts can be found
here.
1)
Take the sheets from the bottom of the bed and fold them back. You will
see the end of the mattress and the box-spring here. Leave your fitted
sheet on... Set the fan at the foot of the bed.
Notice how the fan is set flat
against the foot of the bed and the actual fans are now tucked under
the bed. Later I will show you how the fan can be completely covered
with the bed skirt if you have one.
2) Now that the Bedfan is at the foot of the bed you can install the breeze bar. Pay attention to the Red line. This is
where the box-spring and the mattress come together. The only real
requirement is that the top of the fan.. blue line, be above the red
line.. You will see why later.
The top of Breeze Bar
should be about 1 inch higher than the top of the mattress,
what this will do is allow the air to flow between the sheets without
being constricted by the weight of the comforter and the sheets. I hope
this makes sense to you... You can see one of the sides of the open
area is now closed by being up against the mattress. And look at it
again, Just think, if someone was to sit on this... Well it would just
bend and then come back to its original position... No problem.
3) It is all down hill from here. All you have to do now is throw your sheets back over the top of the fan and Breeze Bar...
Now
tuck your sheets in between the mattress and box spring like normal but
this time you will tuck it around the Bedfan as well.
Remember the Red line and the Blue line. The blue line is higher than
the red therefore we have closed in the entire open area. The front of
the open area is closed off by the mattress and the back is closed off
by the top sheet. This leaves the air only one place to go... that is
along the path of least resistance (over the top of the mattress and
along the sides of your body) and right between the sheets. This will
eliminate the hot, humid, stagnant air that we have been talking
about... See how the sheet is raised up just a small amount... Well
that is all we need to let the cool air in.
4) Put you comforter back in place.
That’s, it.
If you want
to hide
the Bedfan further, put a small incision in
you dust ruffle and slip the fan through it... do every thing else the
same way. Remember the red and Blue lines... Here is a better look.
Put you comforter back in place.
All done…
The air travels from the foot of the bed (the arrows) along your body.
It keeps you cool, and will keep you from having night sweats. At the
same time will make your bed that much cooler too.
