Sleep Tech That Respects Your Wallet

Premium Performance. Modular Savings. Zero Subscriptions. More Common Sense.


  • Cool Only One Side & Save Big: Need cooling or heating on just one side of the bed? Choose the Chilipad Single Zone. Buy only what you need today, and easily scale to whole-bed coverage later with our modular upgrades.

  • Dual Zone: Want whole-bed coverage? We’ve got it. Just like Eight Sleep, Chilipad offers a dual zone model that lets each sleeper control their side—independently.

  • Industry-First Nightstand Remote: Change your exact mattress climate instantly, blindly, and effortlessly by feel alone, right from your nightstand. It is zero-friction usability made for real-world sleep environments—and Eight doesn't have it.

Chilipad Remote

Smart tech. Made approachable.

While Eight's marketing goes toward influencer hype, our innovation went into bedroom usability. The new Chilipad 2.0 features an industry-first nightstand remote, letting you adjust your mattress temperature instantly by feel alone.
