Targeted Cooling In Bed for a Better Sleep
Fantail is designed for all who suffer from the discomfort of feeling too hot while in bed. Unlike traditional fans that circulate air around the room, Fantail sits discreetly between your fitted sheet and doona, providing directed airflow exactly where you need it for effective cooling.
By circulating fresh, cooler air from lower in your room into your bed, Fantail helps to regulate body temperature and prevent sweating. Its compact, quiet, and energy-efficient design ensures a more restful sleep.
Key Features
More Effective Cooling Where You Need It
- Fantail sits under your doona or top sheet, directing airflow where you need it most.
- Removes humid, warm air and replaces it with fresh airflow, keeping you dry and sweat-free.
- Works by natural convective and evaporative cooling processes at your skin to enhance comfort. People are often surprised how well it works.
- Designed for personalised cooling - while one fan can be shared between two people if needed, we recommend using one per person for maximum cooling and individual control.
Precise Airflow Control with Low Noise
- The precise and highly adjustable flow controller lets you select the perfect air flow for your comfort from very gentle to powerful flow. All while doing so quietly thanks to fantail's streamlined design.
- Near silent at low settings and produces a 'white noise' fan sound at higher airflow for an undisturbed sleep experience.
Quick & Easy Setup

How Does It Cool?
How Does It Cool?
Fantail delivers naturally cooler air from lower in the room directly at your body, helping to regulate temperature and reduce night sweats.
By improving air circulation under your blanket, it prevents heat from becoming trapped against your body, keeping you comfortable throughout the night.
Fantail uses two natural cooling processes:
- Convective Cooling – As the Fantail moves air across your skin, it helps transfer excess body heat away, promoting a cooler sleeping environment.
- Evaporative Cooling – The steady airflow enhances moisture evaporation from your skin, reducing that sticky, overheated feeling and making you feel cooler even when the air temperature is the same.

It significantly helped my eczema, I didn’t have to sleep with an ice pack on my neck once this summer, and usually I would have to at least a few times.
This fan was recommended to me and l took the chance - l am very glad l did - it works amazingly well and cools me better than the air conditioner - there was a learning curve and you have to make sure your sheets are tucked in to give you a good seal and then its all down to the speed you put it on - it doesn't have to be up high just a gentle blow down the bed - l am feeling so much more comfortable at night and l don't have to sleep with my legs out the side of the bed... thank you, great product....
The Fantail arrived well packaged and very quickly. The fan unit and base stand was easily assembled, and even though our bed has a full wooden frame, the Fantail unit was able to be installed between the frame and the mattress with only a bit of minor fettling.
The build quality was excellent and the whole unit including the telescoping stand felt robust and professional. I setup the Fantail so the air flow would be between the top and bottom sheet, tucking the end of the top sheet into the elastomer band so it wouldn’t get sucked up into the fan. The power/control wire slotted unobtrusively under the mattress with the small controller unit easily able to reach and sit on the bedside table near my head, with the power plugged in nearby. I was eager to try the Fantail straight away, so I got into bed in my shorts and turned the control knob on. I could immediately feel the flow of air at my feet, but I was quite surprised to notice that I could feel a gentle airflow right up my legs and body and even out a gap in the sheets at my neck.
As I varied the fan speed, I was really surprised at how quiet the fan seemed – even at maximum. Later in the evening at bedtime, I set the controller at some intermediate fan speed that gave just the right airflow (for me). The first thing I noted was that I no longer felt the need to drape a leg outside the covers as the airflow was nicely cooling, and that the Fantail was so much quieter that the pedestal fan that we traditionally used for bedtime cooling. I had a great sleep and it was very easy to find the control unit in the dark thanks to the built-in low light and turn off the Fantail at 4am when I was cool enough. I had been selfish and set up the Fantail on my side of the bed, but tonight I’ll be trying it in the middle so both of us (and maybe the dogs) can get the benefit.
I was actually so pleased with the experience using the Fantail, that I mentioned it to one of my work colleagues, and he immediately said he need to get one as his wife insisted on using a pedestal fan and he hates the noise of it, so a Fantail would be ideal alternative.
A practical application of a passing thought that many have had, but none have acted upon. It alleviated any concerns that I had regarding the safety of a product like this, with a very considerate, functional design that serves its purpose exactly as I had hoped. It has drastically improved my partner's night sweats, and by extension, the quality of sleep for both of us.
