Does anyone have a ceiling fan in their bedroom, right above the bed,
and if so, do you recommend it?

I am thinking about installing a fan above my bed, but would like some
feedback first. Is it noisy, does the air blow directly onto your face,
and does it make you feel uneasy with the blades spinning above your
head?

Many thanks.

Kate

Yes, we have a ceiling fan directly above the bed. Most fans are very
quiet, but that varies by brand and model. We have an Emerson. We operate
ours on medium speed, and personally I like the feeling of the air blowing
down, but for those who don't they can reverse the air flow and blow it up
against the ceiling which will give overall room circulation without a
direct breeze. I've never given a thought to the blades spinning above my
head. The fan is securely mounted, as are the blades.
