We are all aware of how uncomfortable hot weather can be.
However, a spell of hot weather can have serious consequences for the elderly as they are more vulnerable to the effects of heat than other groups in society.
So, we need to take extra care to support them during heatwaves. The National Health Service (NHS) website has plenty of practical advice, which includes the use of fans to aid cooling.
Of course, it would be nice to leave the windows open to get a natural breeze flowing through your home. Sadly, for those living in ground-floor accomodation fear of crime may prevent this.
Equally retirement accomodation is not as spacious as other homes. This means that the sun heats rooms more quickly. Also there simply isn't the storage space for a tower or pedestal fan.
The sleepbreeze personal cooler will give you exactly the kind of breeze that the NHS advocate for hot weather.
The sleepbreeze personal cooler has a unique carrying pouch that opens and extends in seconds to form a tube that provides a relaxing breeze across your whole body.
Simply lay it on your bed. Lie down next to it. And keep cooler even in a heatwave.
And if you fall asleep? Well then the in-built timer will switch the cooler off for you.
It also has the kind of practicality that you just don't get from a pedestal or tower fan...
First of all when you're not using it the sleepbreeze concertinas and packs into its own handy storage pouch. It will easily fit in a bedside cupboard ready for the next time you need it. So, no more wondering what to do with a large pedestal fan at the end of summer! This is particularly handy for elderly people living in sheltered accomodation or apartments where storage space is at a premium. Of course as it is small it is also lightweight (around 19 oz including the power supply plug).
Secondly we appreciate that many senior citizens live on fixed incomes and utility bills are an issue. The sleepbreeze personal cooler is very energy efficient, using only 4 watts. By comparison a pedestal or tower fan uses between 60 and 100 watts. Every little bit helps in saving electricity and we're pleased that our product may contribute to reducing your bills.
Versatility is built into the product and it can either be laid on your bed, draped over a sofa, or suspended vertically next to where you're sitting.
Finally, we are proud that our product is made in Great Britain. That was important to us. We hope it may be to you.
