FAQ:
Once your dog lays on their Big Barker bed with KulKote, the energy of their body heat is absorbed in the Phase Change Material (PCMs). This absorption results in a cooling experience.Â
On the other hand, if your dog lies on their bed when they are cold, the PCMs sense their temperature and release the heat energy that was stored, resulting in a warming effect.Â
The energy management properties of Kulkote will work for the life of your Big Barker bed.
If you've ever laid on a bed with cooling gel, you've probably felt an initial cooling effect. Unfortunately, that's where the benefits of cooling gel end. KulKote on the other hand is a temperature regulating technology that is both breathable and provides consistent temperature regulation.Â
Phase Change Material (PCM) is a substance with a high heat of fusion which, by melting and solidifying at certain temperatures, can store and release large amounts of energy. Think of the PCM as a jelly bean – a hard outer shell with a soft inside. The soft inside absorbs and releases heat as conditions change, for temperature control.
Yep! If there were several layers between your dog and the Kulkote mattress, the cooling effect would definitely become less noticeable. But, we haven't seen any decrease in coolness when using waterproof liner under the microsuede cover.
