With this heat, I find an idea of a safe and temp-regulated bath-bed tempting. (sh.itjust.works)

But I'm sure a daily 8hr sleep in water isn't something our bodies are ready for. What are probable effects? Can we mitigate them?

The problem is the direct contact to the water, a blanket with water running through it in a circle with a heat spreader or a different cooling device would solve that and would reduce the amount of water by a lot. The blanket would be a bit heavier but by that it would double as a weighted blanket too.

Instead of a blanket the same could be built into the mattresses, not really a water bed but a bed with water cooling.

Devices, for example computers, get cooled like that.

This actually already exists but it's quite pricey: https://www.eightsleep.com/uk/pod-cover/

There goes my million dollar idea 😭

But cool, literally, that something like this exists. On the other hand, it is not really rocket science 😀

I was really interested in this when I saw the ad for it, then I saw the price.

[–] von@infosec.pub 5 points 2 months ago

Even worse, IMO, than the high initial price is the fact they charge a subscription to continue to use the cooling cover you already paid an arm and leg for.

There are cheaper options with rather fewer features. Link updated from below, thanks! https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006953014233.html

Link without all the unnecessary crap

Huh, just noticed my link shows the price at 100 euros, but the bloated one shows it for 121 euros

Nvm different size was pre-selected

Thanks, I looked for a proper share link as editing on mobile is a PITA.

[–] Thrawn@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 months ago

Yea link not working but have me curious if you can get a working one edited or respond.

[–] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

That ridiculous link isn't working, at least for me.
