Expert opinion
Chilipad 1.0, sold until May 2026 as the Chilipad Dock Pro, circulates temperature-controlled water through a mattress pad to cool or heat the bed. It supports one or two sleepers, with schedules and control through the Sleepme app and on the Dock, and it needs no subscription.
Sleepme describes its noise as similar to a quiet dishwasher, and it has no remote, so changing the temperature means the app or the Dock. Chilipad 2.0 has replaced it, adding a nightstand Remote, a washable cover and a two-year warranty.
