Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I've owned one of these for about a year. The big selling point is of course the cooling feature, since warming a bed with an electric blanket would be far cheaper. If it lasts for a couple of years, it will probably pay for itself since air conditioning is far less effective than having cool water circulating below you. For that reason, this may be considered a "green" product, since it takes more energy to cool a houseful of air than to cool the two cups of water running through this.
Pros: Energy savings, two sides of the bed can be different temperatures, built-in timer can turn it off before you freeze at 3 am, more comfortable than an electric fan, remote control.
So-so: It's about as loud as a box fan at medium speed. I actually like falling asleep to such a sound, others may not. Maybe keeping it under the bed would muffle it some.
Cons: Pretty darned expensive.
I actually found out about this product from one of the social news sites, it might have been digg. I was a bit scared to buy it since there were few reviews, but I took the plunge and it has been a great purchase. A cool bed in the summer is something I've missed since giving up my old waterbed 20 years ago.
What I don't understand is why this isn't a top-seller... it's such a simple concept.

Product Description:
In most cases, temperatures above 75 degrees F and below 54 degrees F will disrupt sleep, but even sleep researchers fail to agree on the perfect temperature for a restful night's slumber. Enter the ChiliPad bed temperature control system, an innovative mattress-top sleeping pad that cools or heats the bed depending on your sleeping preferences. As a result, you can find an ideal temperature whether you prefer a slightly cooler mattress--usually recommended for better REM sleep--or a warmer mattress, a must when the mercury outside drops. The ChiliPad is adjustable from 68 all the way to 118 degrees F, with an intuitive wireless remote handling the temperature variation in 1-degree increments.
Larger ChiliPads offer dual-zone coils with independent temperature controls.Technology
ChiliPad technology uses water instead of air to generate a wide range of in-bed temperature adjustments. Similar to the semiconductor technology that cools your computer, water passes by the chip and, depending on the direction of electron flow, the water is cooled or heated. The water then flows through the soft coils in the mattress pad to actively adjust the temperature of the surface at a fraction of the cost of air conditioning or heating. The motor is virtually silent (under 45 decibels) and fits under a standard bed frame.
ChiliPads are available in all standard mattress sizes.Sizes and Zones
The ChiliPad is available in such mattress sizes as twin, twin XL, full, queen, California king, and king. The queen and king sizes are also available with dual-zone coils, which allow you and your partner to sleep at different temperatures, with independent motors and controls that vary between 63 and 100 degrees F. At last, both partners can sleep comfortably without disturbing the other.
The ChiliPad is sold with a three-year manufacturer's warranty.
