Could buy an awful lot of blankets and icebags fat those prices.  As Kymooses said, interesting technology for those who need it.  ]]> Tue, 29 May 2012 17:53:00 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2614&PID=24693#24693 A mattress topper that cools and warms : Not cheap was an understatement.Very... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2614&PID=24687#24687 Author: kymooses

Not cheap was an understatement.
 
Very interesting product though.

Very interesting, they claim it can cool down into the 40's or warm up to 118 F, and can do dual zones so one person can be cooled while the other warms.  Only downside - NOT CHEAP.  But what price for a good night's sleep, right? 
 
I thought of the benefits of using this camping, not just at home, such as staying cool even if a camper doesn't have A/C.  A quiet 1000 watt inverter-genset would have no problem running a half-dozen of these at their maximum power setting, more at their claimed average power setting.  You could run two zones for two nights off of several batteries (you might not even need an inverter if its power supply outputs 12 volts).

Also comes as a full mattress, although that costs even more.  They claim in most cases there isn't a problem with condensation but I don't see how it can be avoided.
