vs.
BedJet 3

The Cube Sleep System with Chilipad™ Cool Mesh™ is a water-based (hydronic) cooling and warming system, utilizing a "cube" water chamber and a mattress pad that circulates the water through water tubes underneath you. We compared the Cube Sleep System to the BedJet 3, an air-based climate comfort sleep system for beds which does not require use of a mattress pad. While both products are effective solutions for sleep temperature control, we tested each in our engineering lab to demonstrate their differences.

The Cube Sleep System with Chilipad Cool Mesh was installed per the manufacturer’s instructions and not modified in any way.

Amazon Reviews


ChiliSleep Cube Sleep System with Chilipad Cool Mesh


Sleepme Dock Pro Sleep System

Manufacturers have total control over website posted reviews, so we look to third party sources like Amazon for unfiltered customer feedback. Both the ChiliSleep Cube Sleep System with Chilipad and chiliBLANKET products (produced by parent company Sleepme Inc., formerly Kryo, formerly Chilitechnologies) lag far behind BedJet with honest customer feedback. As the #1 selling product in the entire bed climate comfort category, BedJet leads the industry with the highest number of posted consumer reviews. In fact, when reviewing percentage of 5-star reviews (for products with over 500 reviews), BedJet is one of the highest customer-reviewed products in the entire mattress category on all of Amazon.

Sleepme Water vs. BedJet Air:
Water Doesn't Dry Sweat

Comfort in bed isn’t just about temperature, it’s also about sweat. Humidity in the microclimate under your sheets can rise 20% from trapped body perspiration, a big factor in feeling hot and stuffy. Water loop systems like the Sleepme/ChiliSleep Cube with Chilipad Cool Mesh simply cannot dry sweat or pull trapped body moisture out of your bed — that would be beyond the laws of physics! In contrast, BedJet's silky quiet air circulating technology is clinically proven to rapidly pull body moisture out of the bed. BedJet even has a proprietary sweat-drying mode to keep you fresh, dry, and comfortable all night long. Watch the Sweat Test to see for yourself. (Sweat Test shows a generic cooling mattress and not the Cube Sleep System.)

Cooling & Warming Drag Race

We verified that the Sleepme/ChiliSleep Cube Sleep System with Chilipad Cool Mesh can provide mattress surface temperature control. But which product is more powerful and faster at cooling (heat removal) and warming? Take a look at the infrared camera drag race to see how much faster BedJet's air-based ultra-rapid cooling and warming is compared to the Cube Sleep System. The Cube Sleep System's water temperature adjustments can take up to 10 minutes to feel as it needs to get the water to your desired temperature, pipe it through the entire Chilipad Cool Mesh mattress topper, and then adjust (or re-circulate) to take a sleeper's body heat into account. In contrast, BedJet's air-based cooling and warming is felt within seconds.

Sleepme Water vs. BedJet Air:
Water Can Leak in your Bed

Leaky plumbing, leaky roofs, dripping faucets! Home owners know water can find ways to be in places you don’t want it. The water-based (hydronic) Sleepme/ChiliSleep Cube Sleep System with Chilipad — as well as their other water loop products like the OOLER and Dock Pro System — circulates pressurized water into your bed. Undetected water leaks in your bedding have the potential to ruin your sleeping space. With BedJet's air-based climate control technology there's absolutely zero risk of water affecting your sleeping environment.

Impact on Mattress Comfort

Like BedJet, Sleepme systems work with any mattress. But unlike BedJet, the Sleepme/ChiliSleep products alter the sleep surface performance of your mattress. Want to enjoy the body-contouring support of your memory foam mattress, the springiness of a Purple grid, or the softness of a pillowtop mattress? The Chilipad adds a layer of pressurized water tubes between you and your mattress. Per Amazon reviews, some users report the pad's water tubes can be felt when slept upon, and you can see them snaked through the mattress pad in the infrared photo. BedJet does not change the feel or performance of your mattress — no water tubes, wires, or other “layers” to sleep on top of. All cooling, warming, and sweat drying is done above and around you under the sheets. With BedJet, you get to keep the feel and comfort of the mattress you love.

Maintenance

The air-based BedJet is a nearly maintenance-free product. Simply remove the lifetime washable air filter and rinse clean in the sink once every three months. The water-based Sleepme/ChiliSleep Cube Sleep System with Chilipad requires a steady supply of distilled water to keep the reservoir full, on top of a recommended monthly cleaning. Per the manufacturer instructions, monthly cleaning involves emptying the existing water, refilling with a combination of distilled water and a proprietary solution of antimicrobial ingredients (sold separately on their website), running the unit for 6–8 hours, then emptying and filling it up again with more distilled water. Apart from the maintenance hassle, adhering to Sleepme/ChiliSleep's recommended maintenance could cost nearly $100/year.

Bedroom Appeal

The low profile air-based BedJet 3 can be hidden away under any bed, barely noticeable when the bed is made. The control unit "cube" of the water-based Sleepme/ChiliSleep Cube Sleep System can also sit underneath your bed, but requires 24" of clearance on all four vented sides. (BedJet does not have this requirement!) The Cube's clearance stipulation means you may need to rearrange things around and/or under your bed to find a workable space for the Cube. As well, the Cube is 7.5" high while the BedJet 3 is only 5.75" high, making it much easier for BedJet to fit under a larger variety of bedframes with the industry standard 7” underbed clearance.
