Chilipad vs BedJet

The Chilipad is an excellent choice for several reasons that make it stand out from BedJet.

• Chilipads cool the entire surface of the bed
• Chilipads are cooler
• Chilipads are quieter
• Chilipad doesn’t mount to the bed
• Chilipad Dock Pro model supports Google Assistant and Developer APIs

Note: The opening price point of a BedJet is without their “Cloud Sheet”, which is something that you’ll probably want.

No, you cannot change the temperature of your BedJet on the control unit. For temperature adjustments, you’ll have to use their large remote control or open their companion app.

Air bed cooling systems use fans to blow cooled air across your bed. They can help with surface airflow, but the cooling is indirect and often uneven. Once your body heat builds up, air systems struggle to keep up, especially for hot sleepers or night sweats.

Water bed cooling systems work differently. They circulate temperature controlled water through a thin pad on your mattress, pulling heat away from your body all night. Water transfers heat more efficiently than air, which means steadier cooling and fewer wake ups.

Although the BedJet3 works with any bed sheets, it is advisable to purchase their Cloud Sheets. The prices for the sheets range from $100 to $160, depending on the size of the mattress.

Chilipad delivers cooling directly through a temperature-regulated water mattress pad, maintaining your chosen temperature evenly across your bed. In contrast, bed air conditioners can struggle to maintain uniform cooling, especially under heavier blankets or when airflow is blocked.

Eight Sleep and BedJet both offer temperature control, but they take very different approaches. Eight Sleep requires a monthly subscription and uses a water-cooled mattress, while BedJet uses forced air. However, Chilipad combines the best of both: active water cooling without a subscription.
