A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

With this heat, I find an idea of a safe and temp-regulated bath-bed tempting. (sh.itjust.works)

But I'm sure a daily 8hr sleep in water isn't something our bodies are ready for. What are probable effects? Can we mitigate them?

The problem is the direct contact to the water, a blanket with water running through it in a circle with a heat spreader or a different cooling device would solve that and would reduce the amount of water by a lot. The blanket would be a bit heavier but by that it would double as a weighted blanket too.

Instead of a blanket the same could be built into the mattresses, not really a water bed but a bed with water cooling.

Devices, for example computers, get cooled like that.

This actually already exists but it's quite pricey: https://www.eightsleep.com/uk/pod-cover/

There are cheaper options with rather fewer features. Link updated from below, thanks! https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006953014233.html

Thanks, I looked for a proper share link as editing on mobile is a PITA.

Huh, just noticed my link shows the price at 100 euros, but the bloated one shows it for 121 euros

Nvm different size was pre-selected

Yea link not working but have me curious if you can get a working one edited or respond.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

That ridiculous link isn't working, at least for me.

I was really interested in this when I saw the ad for it, then I saw the price.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

Even worse, IMO, than the high initial price is the fact they charge a subscription to continue to use the cooling cover you already paid an arm and leg for.

There goes my million dollar idea 😭

But cool, literally, that something like this exists. On the other hand, it is not really rocket science 😀
