Jim Bass,  a man who knows the business of air conditioning in Miami, has invented one just made for the bed. He calls it the Sleeprite Cooling System. It’s a built in piece you can attach to your bed’s foot side to help keep your sleep area cooler. It’s also an energy saving device, reports say.

MIAMI — Keeping your home comfortably cool at night while you sleep is a big waste of energy and money.

But a Broward man has designed an air conditioner that only cools where you need it most at night, so you can sleep easy while cutting your power bill.

Jim Bass, who runs an air conditioning business, has invented an air conditioner — just for your bed.

The unit is built into a piece of furniture at the foot of the bed, so it looks like part of your room — no wires or bulky machine. It blows a steady stream of cool air over sleeping bodies to keep them cool, so you can keep your main home air conditioning at a cost-saving higher temperature all night.

Bass’ Sleeprite Cooling System just cools the width and length of the bed, so while a home’s temperature might be 78 degrees, the area of the bed it is a comfortable 73. Each side of the bed can be cooled differently, since the unit has two separate blowers.

Bass said the unit saves energy, resulting in lower utility bills.

Bass is hoping to mass-market his bed air conditioner. He will be demonstrating it at the home show scheduled for Dec. 5-7 at the Broward County Convention Center.
