I want a bed that can cool itself. That sounds awesome. But make it work "stupidly" instead of being "smart."
You want a water bed. But be careful, they get COLD.
Waterbeds suck, honestly. They're great for people who have a very consistent body temp and don't have a partner. Get warm or cold in the middle of the night? Tough, it takes ages to change the temp of a huge mass of water. Partner with a different comfort zone? Too bad.
also they weigh a literal ton, so you have to be sure your floor can handle it.
Oh, right, I forgot about that aspect.
They're also pretty uncomfortable for a lot of people. I hate waterbeds
There was a girl at university that had a water bed and when I was in it I could not get out of it, you just sort of flop around in the middle. Also you have to faff around with special insurance, and get special sheets.
Not worth it.
Watercooling seems like a smart idea, but yeah, as dumb as possible. It's fine to add smarts to it later, but the basic functionality should be 100% "dumb".
Buy some decent, quiet, pc fans and sew a wrap-around sheet, with holes at the foot end just for the small fans to nestle into. The idea is you lay on the bottom part, the top part is over you with whatever other light blankets, and the fans are by your feet, ideally one for each side with an on/off switch. They blow cool air into the sheets and help evaporate moisture. It’s the same idea as a lot of very expensive machines.
Build a small frame to securely hold the fans, ensure no obstructions, and hold the end of the airflow sheet, put the power supply somewhere far away, and you’ve basically built a $400+ cooling bed.
You want a bedjet. I have one, Iove it.
