I make a cool and cozy den inside my duvet when my apartment’s too hot in summer – you don’t need AC, just a fan
A WOMAN has come up with a novel way of staying cool on hot summer nights.
She said there would be no need to switch your AC on either because her method uses fans only.
The suggestion came from Skye Cotter (@skyecotter), who has an enormous following on her TikTok.
At the last count, she had over 257,000 followers and another 14.6 million likes.
But this post was a detour from her usual content, which was far removed from any household hack.
Skye’s posts usually feature the trials and tribulations of her pet, a cute hamster.
The run of hot weather, however, prompted a very different approach, and no hamsters appeared in this video.
Instead, she was sharing her tip on how to keep a cool head and body in soaring temperatures.
“This is your sign to put your fans inside your duvet and keep cool,” she said.
Her camera scanned her bedroom and it looked like a lot of work had gone into creating a cool sanctuary.
The duvet cover had been undone and its top edges had been clipped and attached to a couple of fans that were directed into the duvet cave.
“It’s so cozy,” she said of her creation. Inside there was a tray with a supply of cool drinks, the computer was on, and pillows and cushions added to the snug feel.
It was certainly a welcome solution for Skye, who had been sweltering in her home.
“I’m in static home I may as well be in a friggin greenhouse,” she moaned.
Her post has been liked over 25,000 times and attracted over a thousand comments.
One commenter added another hack to hers. “Put some icecubes behind the fans as well,” he said.
Another liked her thinking: “Yeah, that’s such a good idea.”
The final comment said it could work equally well for pets too: “Ooh, this looks like a good idea for my dog,” they said.
