This sleeping bag liner has a heater so you can keep your toes and core toasty

By Kelly Hodgkins Published April 19, 2016

Ravean is known for its groundbreaking heated jackets that provide electric heat with only a small amount of bulk and minimal damage to your wallet. Now the company is bringing that heating technology to the camping community with its latest Kickstarter project — a heated sleeping bag liner.

The Utah startup is promising to revolutionize your outdoors sleeping experience with two different sleeping bag liners that provide radiant heat at your core and feet. Rather than replace your existing sleeping bag, the Ravean solution fits inside your sleeping bag, with zippers, drawstrings and adjustable heating elements for the perfect fit.

One version of the bag is designed with a mummy shape and can be used inside a sleeping bag, or as a standalone sleeping bag in warmer temperatures. Another version of the heated liner can be worn as a jacket around camp, allowing you to sleep in the liner and then make a few adjustments to convert it into a camp jacket. The jacket version adds sleeves and a hood with heating elements for even more warmth in cold camping weather.

Each liner comes with a newly designed 12V battery that can be used to charge mobile devices while you sleep. The new batteries are available in either 7800mAh or 15600mAh capacities, with both versions providing up to 12 hours of operation time depending on the settings. The latest version of the batteries features a compact, curved profile that is designed to fit that shape of your torso. It also is water resistant and includes a silicone mesh cover that helps keep the battery in place while you toss and turn in your sleep.

Lie it did with its heated jackets, Raven is using crowdfunding to raise the necessary funds to produce the sleeping bag liners and the new power cells. The bag liner Kickstarter project already has surpassed its initial funding goal of $20,000, accruing more than 500 backers who have collectively pledged over $100,000. The batteries and bag liners are available in different configurations, with the batteries alone costing $79 for the 7800mAh cell, while the entry-level bag without a battery is priced at $149. Ravean plans to deliver its bag in October of this year, at which point the price will jump to $99 for the lowest capacity battery and $199 for the liner.

This wild new TV mount moves your screen without you touching it

TVs can already adjust their picture and sound without much help from you. Perlegear now wants the physical screen to adapt to you as well.

Indoors, Interior Design, Lamp

TVs have become incredibly smart over the years. They can automatically tweak picture quality, adjust sound for your room, and recommend what you should watch next. Yet once you bolt one to the wall, there’s one decidedly old-fashioned thing about it: it’s staying exactly where you put it.

Perlegear has an interesting solution at IFA 2026. The company is showing off the AX1 Smart Adaptive Mount, a motorized TV mount that detects where you’re watching from and automatically moves the television to a more comfortable height. It’s an idea that sounds a little excessive until you think about how many different ways we use TVs today. You might be sitting on the couch for a movie, standing up for a workout, playing a motion-controlled game, or have kids watching from the floor. The ideal screen position for one isn’t necessarily great for the others.

iRobot’s new Roomba concept uses a piggybacking sidekick to reach tight spaces

The Roomba Duo pairs a powerful floor washer with a smaller robot built to clean hard-to-reach spots.

Robot vacuums have long forced buyers to choose between cleaning power and clearance. Heavy-duty wet-dry models pack enough scrubbing force to tackle stubborn, sticky messes, but their bulky frames often can't squeeze under low furniture. Slim robot vacuums can glide beneath sofas and beds, but they typically lack the muscle to do much more than sweep up light dust. iRobot's new Roomba Duo concept, unveiled at IFA 2026 in Berlin, aims to solve this problem with an unconventional approach that involves deploying two specialized robots to work as a team.

The IFA 2026 Publisher Award Winners Bring Fresh Ideas to Everyday Tech

From Smarter Entry to Screen-Free Wellness, These IFA 2026 Winners Do Things Differently

IFA 2026 Publisher Awards

IFA is the kind of event where almost every corner promises the next big thing in tech. Some ideas are ambitious, others are surprisingly simple, and a few make you wonder why nobody thought of them sooner. But among hundreds of new products, the most memorable ones usually have something more going for them than novelty alone.

This year’s IFA Publisher Award winners are a good example. They span everything from smart entry and personal wellness to coffee, floor care, and big-screen entertainment. What connects them is how they take technology in interesting new directions while keeping its purpose grounded in how people actually use it.
