Disclaimer: I received a complimentary DualTemp Layer in exchange for my honest review. All opinions expressed are honest and my own.
When they say that opposites attract, they weren’t kidding. I’ve been married to my husband for over 13 years. While I love him to pieces, there are several things that we just don’t agree on. For instance, I am the type of person who gets cold very easily and he is the type that is hot all the time. There have been a few arguments over our the years about what our bedroom temperature should be. A few weeks ago Sleep Number asked me if I would like to review their DualTemp Layer and of course I said yes.
Shopping for the DualTemp Layer
Before our DualTemp Layer arrived my husband and I (along with the kids) headed to our local Sleep Number store to see first hand how the DualTemp Layer works. If you’ve never been to a Sleep Number store, you have got to go! You can test out their newest mattresses, pillows, bedding and of course the DualTemp Layer, with no obligation to buy. The Sleep Number folks will even test you out to see what your personal Sleep Number is. My number is a 30 just in case you were wondering.
What is a DualTemp Layer
The DualTemp Layer is a temperature balancing layer with ActiveAir technology that can be added to any bed. The ActiveAir Technology heats or cools each side of the layer and allows you to select what temperature you would prefer. The temperature of the air, whether it’s hot or cold is evenly distributed throughout the layer so you can have head to toe comfort.
DualTemp Layer Delivery and Set Up
The DualTemp Layer is delivered right to your door. Everything comes inside one large box and it’s easy enough for one person to handle. In fact I was so excited to set the DualTemp Layer up that I did everything by myself in under 20 minutes. The layers each come with their own smaller box which contains a remote, batteries and fan.
The layer itself is just few inches thick and just lays on top of your mattress. There are two tubes at the top each connecting to their own fan. The fan makes a slight buzzing sound but it’s very minimal. In fact after the first night, I don’t even notice it anymore.
As you can probably notice from the picture above we don’t own a Sleep Number Mattress. That’s not a problem because the DualTemp Layer will fit on top of any mattress. We actually have a pretty large king size bed and it fits snuggly over the top. I will also mention that the layer stays put during the night. My husband tosses and turns all night long and I was a little worried that it would slide off the bed, but it doesn’t.
Each side of the layer is controlled by a remote. When you set up the layer you can program the remote for the specific person who will be sleeping on that side. Programing is easy and you can recognize who’s remote it is who’s name is on the front. The great thing about these remotes is that it remembers what you had the setting on the last time you slept. So as soon as you turn it on, it automatically goes back to that temperature.
There is also a timer on the remote which automatically turns off the layer. The timer ranges from 1-9 hours and shuts off automatically after 10 hours. I use this setting often because I like to set my layer on the warmest setting but I don’t want to get too hot while I sleep, so I just set the timer for 1 hour and I’m good to go.
Before having the DualTemp Layer my husband would get so hot at night that he would wake up drenched in sweat, even with a fan blowing directly on him. After sleeping on the layer for the past 2 weeks he hasn’t had any issues with overheating.
Dual Temp Layer Review
We have had the DualTemp Layer for a little over two weeks now and I can honestly say that I don’t think I have slept this good in years. When I get into bed, my side is nice and warm and my husband’s is cool and cozy. No more bedroom arguments about who’s cold and who’s hot because we are able to adjust our own individual sides to fit our comfort level. In addition to the temperature the layer adds just enough extra comfort to feel like I am sleeping on a different mattress.
My kids also LOVE the Dual Layer and in fact they spend a lot more time on my bed reading their books, watching TV and snuggling with me and my husband. The only downfall is I have a hard time keeping my bed made with everyone wanting to take a turn laying on it.
If your looking for a great product that will help you prevent those bedroom arguments you definitely have to check into the DualTemp Layer from Sleep Number.
