The Bedjet uses air to heat or cool from below while the ChiliPad circulates water through a topper on the mattress. Both allow temperature adjustment but the Bedjet responds faster while the ChiliPad offers gradual cooling or heating. The Bedjet also costs less but runs louder than the ChiliPad.

Compare What’s Inside

Bedjet offers some of the best air-based temperature control found on the market. Chilipad has been using water to control bed temperatures for over a decade. We've compiled a side-by-side comparison of Bedjet's top competitor, ChiliPad, to see which mattress is the right choice for you.

Bedjet & ChiliPAD at a glance

Bedjet offers the ability to control not only your bed's temperature but also the humidity. Bedjet can eliminate sweat that causes you to feel stuffy. It also allows you to set temperature changes throughout the night. What if you want a cooling or heating pad instead of an air vent? Let's take a look at Bedjet and their closest competitor to see which Cooling system reigns supreme.

Competitor #1: Bedjet

Bedjet has been helping couples for years solve the thermostat issue. By allowing one side of the bed to be cooled while the other is being warmed, Bedjet gives couples peaceful sleep. While being powerful, Bedjet is also easy to install for your bed. Here is an overview of Bedjet's product line:

Bedjet 3

Offering temperatures between 66 and 104 degrees, this cooling system is also silky quiet. It fits under a bed with 6" clearance and is SmartHome compatible.

  • Priced at $499

Bedjet 2

The Bedjet 2 uses the air in your bedroom to keep you cool and dry. Temperatures can be maintained between 74-104 degrees. This also includes an essential oil diffusion kit.

  • Priced at $399

Competitor #2: ChiliPAD

ChiliPAD is designed with the science of how people sleep in mind. By letting your body cool off throughout the night, as our ancestors did, you wake more refreshed and focused. Using water-based cooling ChiliPAD allows significant changes of more than 10 degrees from the room's temperature on your bed. Here is an overview of their products:

ChiliPAD

Using water pumped through a mattress pad, the control unit keeps temperatures between 55-115 degrees. It is machine washable and made of cotton and filled with polyester.

  • Starts at $499 for a Half-Queen and goes up to $1199 for a California King

OOLER

at only 6" tall the Ooler is more efficient and has a lower profile than the ChiliPAD. It also offers variable ambient noise control and access to the Ooler app instead of a remote.

  • Starts at $699 for a Half-Queen and goes up to $1499 for a California King

Side-By-Side Comparison

At first glance, Bedjet and ChiliPAD may seem like they accomplish the same thing. However, they serve two different purposes outside of cooling you off. Bedjet is an air pump that uses your room's air to cool and diffuse the sweat off your body. ChiliPAD is a mattress pad that uses water to cool down your body while you sleep. While both cool you down, they do this differently and with other added benefits.

If you have a room that tends to stay warm at night but don't want to use your air conditioning to cool down the Bedjet is right for you. It cools you down using air without having to make your air conditioning work harder. If you sweat at night, the Bedjet is excellent for you as well. The Bedjet continuously circulates air preventing you from sweating at night.

ChiliPAD is made for those who sleep hot no matter how cold the room is. The cooling water under you is in contact with your body and cools you down by contact. ChiliPAD is great for those who want to manage how they sleep. Using their app you can adjust the temperature hour by hour to your exact preference.

How To Choose The Right Mattress

First off, if your current mattress is 7-10 years old and you're experiencing more body aches and pains, it's time to buy a new mattress. Getting a good night's sleep is essential in maintaining a healthy body and mind. Choosing the right mattress doesn't have to be a hassle, follow these guidelines to find the right one for you!

  • Choose a mattress based on your individual needs. If you're looking for plushier support that adapts to your body's shape, a memory foam mattress is the best choice. If you want a more firm, traditional, feel an innerspring mattress is what you want. For the best of both worlds, get a hybrid mattress.
  • Get proper lumbar support. The majority of your body weight is positioned in what is called the "center third" of the mattress. Find a mattress that has excellent lumbar support as it prevents and alleviates pain in the back and hips. If you're looking for extra support, Saatva's unique lumbar zone technology might be the best fit.
  • Find a mattress with a long in-home trial. You want to be able to test your mattress over an extended period of time to really make sure this is the right one for you. Look for a company that offers a risk-free in-home sleep trial. Nectar offers a 365-day trial. IDLE sleep offers a full 18-month trial (the longest in the industry).

What people are saying

Verdict

The Bedjet lays on top of the mattress and uses air flow to regulate temperature, while the ChiliPad fits underneath and circulates water. The Bedjet responds faster and is easier to set up, but the ChiliPad allows more precise temperature control. Overall the ChiliPad offers superior cooling performance, but the Bedjet is more affordable.
