Too hot all over vs.
Warmth just where you need it |
A bed surface that's colder than your body or chronically cold feet can increase the time it takes to fall asleep and can disrupt the depth of your sleep. You wake without feeling refreshed and you aren't even sure why. Muscles cannot relax and joints are stiff.
The correct room and bed temperature are important factors in achieving good sleep. In REM sleep cycles (Rapid Eye Movement = dream sleep) our brain stops thermoregulation. Our body temperature starts to match the environment. That is why we wake at certain times during the night, either too cold or too warm. But, how can we maintain a comfortable sleep temperature?
Unless you were willing to wear socks and mittens to bed, your best choice for warm hands and feet has been a water bed. Turn up the internal heater and the warm water will chase away the chill. But this warmth comes with a price. Having the same temperature for both sleep partners can lead to conflict or uncomfortable compromise. And those who have tried the uneven, unpredictable warmth of an electric blanket know that is even worse.
The secret to staying cool at bedtime is blood circulation. Studies have shown that keeping the feet warm promotes vasodilation and allows more blood flow in the legs. This increased blood flow allows heat to radiate out of the body and COOLS the upper body. This cooling is very important in achieving deep sleep.
Keeping the feet and legs warm allows very light bed covers to be used and this also contributes to reducing the core body temperature. A cool head and warm feet is the way most people describe the most comfortable sleep environment. Good news - it works!
A cool bedroom and a temperature controlled sleep surface offer the ideal combination for falling to sleep quickly and staying asleep through sleep stage transitions.
The iSleep Bed gives you the option of turning on individually computer controlled therapeutic warmth and allows you to set the perfect temperature for your side of the bed. The sleep-enhancing warmth is in zones to match your body's needs. It provides gentle warmth on your aching back, a little more on stiff thighs or sore knees and the most on your chronically cold feet. This heated surface improves your circulation, relieves the soreness of stiff, achy joints, and reduces the presence of dust mites and their allergy-producing by-products.

Our individual adjustable temperature control gives you your perfect sleep temperature to fall asleep faster and stay asleep. For those nights that you need extra relief, you can turn up the therapeutic temperature control for relaxing warmth just where you want it.
The individual temperature controls allow each sleeper to have the perfect temperature. This allows very lightweight bed coverings to be used, keeping you cooler in the summer months and warmer, without bulk in the winter months. This also allows evaporation and prevents moisture form accumulating in the bedding.
