The water-based temperature-control system features a nightstand remote, simplified setup, and US-based engineering, without requiring a subscription.
Key takeaways:
- Chilipad 2.0 is a redesigned water-based cooling mattress topper that controls bed temperatures from 55°F to 115°F to help reduce night sweats and limit sleep interruptions.
- Upgrades include a washable Hydrolayer cover with a built-in mattress protector, a quieter dock, and a nightstand remote that operates without an internet connection.
- The system requires no subscription and features core electronics designed and assembled in a new North Carolina facility.
Chilipad has launched the Chilipad 2.0, a redesigned performance cooling mattress topper that actively heats and cools the bed using water, built to simplify how users control their sleep environment.
While cooling fabrics and gel toppers offer temporary relief, Chilipad 2.0 actively circulates water to precisely control bed temperature from 55°F to 115°F. The result is all-night temperature control designed to help reduce night sweats, limit sleep interruptions, and improve overall sleep quality.
According to the company, more than 700 clinicians recommend ChiliPad to people with temperature-related sleep disruption.
Key upgrades across the system include:
- Cover: An updated Hydrolayer design now slides out for easy washing, expanded size compatibility (including Full and Twin XL), and a built-in mattress protector.
- Dock: Quieter than ever, with a redesigned digital display that adjusts for bedside readability, an easier-to-fill water reservoir, and on-dock onboarding that requires no app to set up.
- Remote: Now included in every box. The tactile, nightstand-ready remote lets sleepers adjust temperature, view their sleep climate, and trigger sleep schedules with in-bed detection.
- App: Fully redesigned with a cleaner interface and smarter sleep program controls, for those who prefer a more data-driven experience.
- No Subscription: Unlike some competitors, Chilipad 2.0 requires no ongoing fees to access its full capabilities.
“We combined powerful cooling with a modular, easy-to-set-up cover, along with a nightstand remote and no required subscriptions, making consistent, cooler sleep easier to achieve,” says Robbie Falls, chief product and marketing officer at Chilipad, in a release. “At its core, the Chilipad experience is about giving customers control, whether they prefer to use a remote or an app, a single- or dual-zone setup, or operate the system connected or offline.”
The launch is supported by new US-based engineering, assembly, and R&D operations at the company’s North Carolina facility. All core electronics, including the dock and remote, are designed and assembled in the US. Every system ships with a two-year warranty and is built to be modular and repairable, eliminating the need to replace the entire unit if one component needs attention.
“Chilipad 2.0 is proof that the best products get built when engineering and manufacturing share a hallway, not an ocean,” says Trey Robinson, chief technology officer at Chilipad, in a release. “Our new North Carolina facility brings US-based engineering, an advanced assembly line, and our R&D lab together in one place. That lets us iterate faster, build a more reliable system, and grow a team of skilled technical workers right here at home.”
The system is designed for sleepers who struggle with overheating, night sweats, or temperature fluctuations, including during perimenopause and menopause. The redesigned app also enables personalized sleep schedules that automatically adjust bed temperatures throughout the night, including a Warm Awake feature that gradually raises the temperature before waking.
Neurologist-sleep specialist W. Chris Winter, MD, author of The Sleep Solution, in a release, “The science here is unambiguous: your core body temperature needs to drop in order to initiate and sustain deep sleep. Most people have no idea that their bedroom or their partner’s body heat is actively working against that process every night. What Chilipad 2.0 does is give you precise, reliable control over that variable, which is something no mattress, no supplement, and no sleep tracking device alone can offer. I’ve seen firsthand what happens when people optimize their sleep temperature: deeper slow-wave sleep, better physical recovery, sharper mornings. This isn’t another wellness fad. It’s applied sleep science in a product that actually works.”
Key Features of ChiliPad 2.0
Key features of ChiliPad 2.0 include:
● Active Water-Based Temperature Control (55–115°F). Actively regulates body temperature—unlike “breathable” or passive cooling materials that eventually trap heat.
● Redesigned Dock (Quieter + High-Capacity Tank). A quieter system with a larger internal tank and ergonomic lid for faster, less frequent refills, making it more practical for nightly use.
● New Cover. A total rethink of the topper: now a zip-off, washable cover with built-in waterproof protection, designed for durability and real-life usability.
● New Nightstand Remote + Auto-Detection. A dedicated physical thermostat for each side of the bed with sensors that automatically trigger the users’ sleep schedule when they get in bed.
● Total Sleep Autonomy (Offline Control). Works with app, remote, or fully offline—no required WiFi, no cloud dependence.
● No Subscriptions + Long-Term Ownership. Still zero subscriptions, now backed by a 2-year manufacturer’s warranty, reinforcing durability and long-term value.
● Modular, Buildable System (Single + Dual Zone). Designed for real-life use—customize each side of the bed or expand over time without replacing the system.
● Expanded Sizing (Full + Twin XL). More configurations than ever, making active temperature control accessible across more sleep setups.
● USA-Designed & Assembled Core Electronics. Core electronics are now designed and built in the U.S., reinforcing quality, reliability, and product integrity.
