Too hot in the kids’ room? How to help your child sleep, play and feel better this summer

Summer is long-awaited, but when the temperature in children’s rooms climbs above 27°C, the day and night are anything but peaceful. Even early in the day, the heat can rise quickly, especially if the room is in the sun. Children become cranky, sweaty and lacking in energy – and their play, sleep and appetite don’t work as they should.

Young children have difficulty regulating their body temperature and are even more affected by stuffy rooms and warm nights. An efficient and silent AC can make a big difference – both for children’s sleep and well-being.

Children tolerate heat less well than adults

Children’s bodies do not yet have fully developed mechanisms to regulate body temperature, making them particularly sensitive to heat. According to 1177 Vårdguiden, young children are particularly vulnerable because their sweat glands do not work as efficiently as those of adults.

When the temperature in the children’s room rises, mood, play and sleep are affected. Children can become restless, easily irritated or exhausted. At night, they wake up sweaty, with damp clothes and a warm pillow, and their sleep is repeatedly disturbed. When your child’s sleep is affected, you as a parent also miss out on the rest you need. You struggle to comfort, cool down and find solutions in the middle of the night.

What can you do?

Here are some tips to lower the temperature in the children’s room:

✅ Darken windows with blinds or solar film
✅ Create cross draughts when it’s cooler outside
✅ Close doors to keep the heat out
✅ Avoid heat-generating electronics
Invest in a portable AC – the most efficient solution

Wood’s Cortina AirSwitch 12K – Quiet cooling and cleans the air

If you’re looking for an extra quiet, energy-efficient and healthy solution for the children’s room, Wood’s AC Cortina 12K AirSwitch is an excellent choice. It’s not only a powerful portable AC – it’s also equipped with AirSwitch™ technology and a HEPA filter, making it perfectly suited for children’s sensitive needs.

Why AirSwitch fits the children’s room:

  • As quiet as a whisper, perfect for when baby goes to sleep.
  • HEPA filter that cleans the air of pollen, dust and harmful particles.
  • Smart temperature control – switches between traditional compressor cooling and natural cooling with cold outdoor air.
  • Energy efficient – draws only 56 W in AirSwitch mode compared to 1350 W in full cooling.
  • Cool, clean air all night long without disturbing noise.

Children are often more sensitive to airborne particles such as pollen, dust or pollutants – that’s why the HEPA filter is a big advantage in children’s rooms. It provides a cleaner and healthier indoor climate that reduces the risk of allergies and respiratory problems.

Tip! Cool down your room before bedtime

To avoid compressor noise at bedtime – and still keep the room cool – we recommend turning on the AC 3-4 hours before bedtime. This will allow the walls, floor and furniture to cool down, keeping the temperature lower for longer. When the baby goes to sleep, you can turn off the compressor and let the fan continue in AirSwitch mode – this will ensure almost silent operation throughout the night.

When the children’s room gets too warm, it affects the whole family’s sleep, play and recovery. With Wood’s Cortina AirSwitch 12K or Milan, you get a reliable and child-friendly solution that provides coolness, cleaner air and better nights.
