History

The Chilipad was developed between 2014 and 2017 in Mooresville, North Carolina. [3] Sleepme Inc., the company behind Chilipad, was previously known as Chili Technology, LLC and Kryo Inc. [4] [5] [6] Sleep Solutions Inc. eventually acquired Sleepme Inc. [7] [8]

In 2017 Chilipad Cube was launched. The original Chilipad Cube was introduced as one of the first temperature control sleep systems, with the ability to cool or warm beds through a water circulation system. [9] [1] It gained popularity among athletes, biohackers, and individuals struggling with temperature-related sleep issues. [10] [1] [11] [12] [13] [14] The OOLER Sleep System was introduced in 2019, featuring a companion mobile app. It was followed by the launch of Chilipad Dock Pro in 2022. [15] The Dock Pro model was quieter, colder, and allowed customers to optionally use Wi-Fi to connect to the companion app. [16] Also in 2022, Sleep Tracker by Sleepme was launched. [17] In July 2023, Sleep Solutions Inc. acquired the assets of Sleepme Inc. [18]

Reviews

Chilipad received coverage from various publications, with reviews highlighting effectiveness in temperature regulation. [19] [20] [21] [22] [23]

In 2022, the Chilipad Dock Pro was included in TIME's Best Inventions list. [24]

The product also won recognition in the Men's Health Sleep Awards within the sleep tech category. [25]

GQ magazine named the Chilipad Dock Pro as the "Most Versatile Cooling Mattress Cover" in its 2024 roundup. [26]

In 2024 Woman's World awarded the Chilipad Cube the 50 Over 50 Award in 2024: The Best Products for Women Embracing Life Over 50. [27]

The New York Times' Wirecutter reviewed the Chilipad Cube and Dock Pro, describing them as effective products for night sweats and temperature regulation. [28]

The Spruce reviewed the Chilipad Cube Sleep System and noted its suitability for couples, highlighting its dual-zone temperature control, which allows each partner to set their preferred sleep temperature. [29]

Overview

The Chilipad consists of a mattress pad embedded with water channels, connected to an external control unit. [30] This unit circulates water through the pad, allowing it to set the preferred sleeping temperature. [31] [32] The bed cooling system provides temperature regulation from 55°F to 115°F (13°C to 46°C). [33] [34] [35] [36] Chilipad has several temperature-regulating sleep systems that use active cooling and heating, allowing users to manage the sleep environment. [37] Primary products include Chilipad Dock Pro, Chilipad Cube, Chilipad OOLER, and Sleepme Sleep Tracker. Chilipad Dock Pro features precise temperature control, Wi-Fi connectivity via app, AI-based optimization, and sleep tracking. Chilipad Cube offers water-based cooling/heating with adjustable single or dual-zone settings. [9] Chilipad OOLER, available from 2019 to 2023, featured app-based controls and scheduling. It was replaced by Dock Pro. Sleepme Sleep Tracker is a non-wearable sleep tracking system that monitors metrics like steep staging, heart rate, heart rate variability and respiratory rate, integrating with Sleepme's systems for automatic temperature adjustments.
