Can you tell me why using a mosquito net makes me so hot? Could a Sleepbreeze help me keep cool when using a mosquito net?
Mosquito nets have a mesh that is sufficiently fine to mosquitos and other insects from getting at your skin and passing on disease. Unfortunately, this also prevents the efficient movement of air through the mesh, reducing natural air convection created by your body. Air rising from your body hits the mesh and has nowhere to go (easily). Likewise the mesh also prevents fresh air being drawn in through natural convection. That’s why the temperature rises inside the protected space created by the mosquito net. A Sleepbreeze provides forced ventilation within the protected space and provides a cooling airflow directly over you. The effect is noticeably better than using a pedestal fan outside the mosquito net, or a ceiling fan above it. Pedestal fans are notorious for causing the net to flap about, too, leaving gaps for bugs to get in.
