Improve Your Sleep with a Bed Cooling System

A bed cooling system controls the temperature of your bed instead of your whole room. A control unit chills or heats water and pumps it through a thin pad that sits on top of your mattress. Chilipad holds a set temperature from 55°F to 115°F, with separate settings for each side.

Water pulls heat away from your body far better than air does. The control unit chills water and pumps it through the pad beneath you, where it picks up body heat and carries it back to be cooled again. That cycle runs all night, so the bed stays where you set it.

Yes. Cooling the bed surface moves heat away from your body faster than lowering the room temperature, because your body stays in contact with the pad all night. A steady bed temperature may help you wake up less and spend more time in deep sleep.

Chilipad does not require a subscription. Cooling, heating, and sleep scheduling all work with no monthly fee and no paywalled features. With the Chilipad 2.0, a remote is included in every box.

Bed fans blow air across your sheets and air conditioning cools the whole room. A water-based system cools the surface you lie on, which is where body heat builds up. Water also holds a steady temperature better than moving air, so the bed stays at one setting instead of drifting.

Bed cooling systems suit hot sleepers, couples who disagree on temperature, and anyone dealing with night sweats or hot flashes. Athletes and shift workers use them to protect recovery. They also help in homes without air conditioning or in warm climates. People with night sweats or menopause-related hot flashes.
