Some people need a white noise generator, while others might require a weighted blanket, or maybe even a body pillow to snuggle up against. And while it’s not a necessity, one thing that really does it for me is a gentle breeze, like when you take a nap outside on a lazy summer afternoon. Damn, I’m getting sleepy just imagining it.What most people do to simulate a gentle breeze is to get a fan, angle it toward the bed, and call it a day (or night). But that’s kind of a half-assed solution, because only your head and maybe your shoulders will feel the air current. That’s precisely where the BedJet 3 comes in.At its core, the BedJet 3 is a very simple device. There’s a main fan unit, a hose, an adjustable stand, and a nozzle. That’s it. (Oh, and an included remote, but we’ll get to that in a bit.) Ideally, the fan goes under your bed, though because the box containing the fan measures six inches at its thinnest, depending on your bedframe/mattress set up, you may have to keep it off to the side or at the foot of your bed, which can definitely mess with your feng shui. But what the BedJet 3 can do for your sleep is quite profound, and potentially worth the added clutter.In addition to being able to pipe in a steady gust of air that flows under your covers (so you get a full-body breeze), the BedJet 3 can also adjust the temperature of said air to either cool or heat your bed. This is critical because getting the temperature just right is essential for increasing the quality and duration of your sleep, with scientists generally recommending that your bedroom should be between 60 and 67 degrees. The problem with this is that those temperatures are typically cooler than what’s generally considered a comfortable room temp, so you can either turn your thermostat way down at night, or use something like a fan or the BedJet to cool things down in a more targeted manner.And if you don’t care about sleeping cooler, the BedJet also has a heating function that can be especially useful in the winter or for people with poor circulation. Using the BedJet’s remote or app, you can set sleep timers or routines that can keep the temp of your bed just the way you like it all through the night, or wake you up with a blast of 100-degree hot air if you’re a masochist.The BedJet 3 works with normal sheets, seen here, or BedJet’s optional Cloud Sheet (the white sheet seen in the top image).

You start by plugging in the BedJet 3 fan unit into the wall (it comes with a 10-foot power cord) and hiding it somewhere out of the way
