The OOLER is officially retired, and Chilipad 2.0 by Sleepme steps in as the stronger, cooler, and quieter upgrade with a Remote in every box and no subscription.
- The OOLER Bed Cooling System was discontinued in December 2023, and Chilipad 2.0 now replaces it with twice the cooling power, quieter performance, and improved comfort.
- Every Chilipad 2.0 ships with the Chilipad Remote, a nightstand control that works like a bed thermostat, plus a redesigned Cover with a built-in mattress protector and a quieter Dock.
- Chilipad 2.0 holds a precise 55°F to 115°F range, with optional Wi-Fi and Airplane Mode, Warm Awake, and Google Assistant support, far past what the OOLER could do.
- There is no subscription and a Two-Year Manufacturer's Warranty, double the previous coverage, and the system is modular and repairable rather than disposable.
- You keep your own mattress. Chilipad 2.0 fits most bed sizes and types, including split adjustable beds, so you upgrade your sleep tech without replacing the bed you already love.
Short Answer
The OOLER Bed Cooling System was discontinued in December 2023. Chilipad 2.0 replaces it with twice the cooling capacity, a quieter Dock, a redesigned Cover, and a Chilipad Remote included in every box. It holds a set temperature from 55°F to 115°F and requires no subscription.
When the OOLER Bed Cooling System launched in 2019, it caught on fast. Over 100,000 people relied on it for temperature control and an easy app, and for years it was the obvious answer for anyone who slept hot.
Then the technology outgrew it. The OOLER was discontinued in December 2023, and the lineup has moved forward two generations since.
The flagship today is Chilipad 2.0, and it does everything the OOLER did, only without the compromises that came with an older design.
Why Was the OOLER Discontinued?
The OOLER was a real step forward when it arrived, but its older industrial design capped how cold it could get, and it never had Wi-Fi.
Pushing the pad further meant moving more water, and the OOLER's control unit simply didn't have the room for that. Stretching an aging design to fit wasn't worth it, so a new platform was built instead. That platform is what eventually became Chilipad 2.0.
Your Sleep. Upgraded
Everything you loved about water-based sleep cooling, now better. Chilipad 2.0 runs from a crisp 55°F to a toasty 115°F with a quieter Dock, a redesigned Cover, and a Chilipad Remote included in every box.
What Do You Gain by Upgrading?
Everything you liked about water-based cooling carries over, and the rough edges are gone. Chilipad 2.0 holds anything from a crisp 55°F to a warm 115°F, runs on a quieter Dock and a redesigned Cover, and ships with a Chilipad Remote in the box.
What Is Chilipad 2.0?
Chilipad 2.0 is the new version of Chilipad 1.0 (formerly called Dock Pro), the model that followed the OOLER.
It runs on the same two ideas that built the lineup, temperature-regulated sleep and automated sleep schedules, and it comes from the same family that made Time Magazine's Best Inventions list and pulled in multiple CES awards.
Temperature is what makes or breaks a night of sleep, and Chilipad 2.0 hands you the dial. The jump from the OOLER lands in three places. The Cover, the Dock, and how you control the bed cooling system.

What Changed in the Chilipad Cover?
The piece that touches your bed got the most work. The new mattress cover fits more sizes, including Full and Twin XL, so more sleepers can keep their existing mattress.
The Hydrolayer slides in on one or both sides of the bed for personalized cooling, so couples can run different temperatures on each side.
The updated Hydrolayer slides out, which makes washing and maintenance far simpler than before. A mattress protector is now built into the base of the Cover, so that is one less thing to buy or layer on top.
What Changed in the Chilipad Dock?
The Dock is the engine, and it got refined on both fronts. It still tucks discreetly under most beds, but now it runs close to silent, quiet enough that you forget it's there.
On-Dock onboarding lets you set things up directly on the unit, not just through the app. An easier-to-open water reservoir makes refills quick, and the system needs fewer refills overall.
A new digital display can be flipped for easy viewing from bed. An updated nighttime-inspired colorway blends into the bedroom instead of standing out.
What Does the Chilipad Remote Do?
This was the change people asked for most, and it's now standard. Every Chilipad 2.0 comes with the Chilipad Remote, a bed thermostat for your nightstand.
It pairs the simplicity of a physical control with the engineering behind everything else. With the Remote, sleepers can:
- Instantly adjust bed temperature without reaching for a phone.
- Clearly view their sleep climate at a glance.
- Jump start sleep schedules with in-bed detection.
Prefer app-based control? The redesigned Chilipad App gives you a cleaner look at smart sleep programs, better control of your partner's side, and Warm Awake to wake you naturally with a gentle rise in temperature.
You choose how you control things. And yes, there's still no subscription.

- Sleepers in hot climates or homes without air conditioning.
- High performers, including athletes, military, first responders, educators, executives, and parents, who push hard and need their sleep to keep up.
