I gave mine to my buddy Bryan, who is an incredibly hot sleeper, and he told me that the device was a game-changer for him. In fact, he liked it so much that he ended up keeping my review unit! I didn’t mind that he kept my Cube because we had just got our Pod Pro from Eight Sleep a few weeks before that, and didn’t see a need to change devices. The Cube has a single-speed fan that you can hear, and which produces “white noise.” It’s not terribly loud, but you can certainly hear it in a quiet environment. Based on the official specifications, the Cube produces noise in the range of 51-56 dBA at one feet distance with 40 dBA ambient noise. You won’t have any trouble finding a mattress in a size that perfectly fits your sleeping quarter, whether it’s an enormous master bedroom or a small and cosy space. See below the most common mattress size dimensions; Urban Outfitters does bohemian style so well so, if you're into that relaxed, easy breezy vibe, this is a good option. Pair with bright rag rugs, lots of house plants and either rattan or dark wood furniture to finish the look. Mattress: wipe with a clean damp cloth; Cover: wipe with a clean damp cloth, spot clean or dry clean

Before we get into the nitty-gritty of the Cube, I should point out that ChiliSleep (the company that makes the device) offers two versions of its bed cooling solution: the classic Cube and the Ooler. Smart alarm that uses heat to gently wake you up in the morning (instead of sound, like traditional alarms) . With all of that said: I still strongly believe that using the Cube to reduce the temperature underneath the sheets is a major upgrade for many people who struggle with getting enough quality sleep — even without the ability to dictate individual temperature settings for the various stages of sleep. For most people, that shouldn’t be a problem. However, if you’re a side sleeper, suffer from serious night sweats, or sleep in a fairly warm environment with no AC, you might have to run the Cube on its lowest temperature setting to get enough temperature relief. Officially, the Chilipad is available for queen, king and California king mattresses, including single-user versions that fit half of those mattresses.Charley has an MA in Journalism & Media Studies and undertook an internship at a travel magazine in Iceland. She still writes occasional travel and lifestyle stories when the inspiration strikes now, with work published in Cosmopolitan, Stylist, ELLE and Women’s Health, among others. It might seem counterintuitive, but I’ve heard from multiple people that using a bed cooling system has lowered their energy bills by reducing the need to crank up the AC at night. And here's a similar option, which would fit in well in a child's bedroom, for all those fun sleepovers. That’s when we decided to bring Cubes on our next trip. They’re relatively easy to transport in a suitcase, and you can move them from mattress to mattress without any issues. My recommendation is to set it to 68° F and then make gradual adjustments until you’ve found the temperature that works best for you.

Based on information from ChiliSleep, the Chilipad performs best under a net weight of 250 pounds (90kg). This is one of the priciest options in our round-up, but if you're looking for a chair bed that really doesn't look like one, this is the one to invest in. Tufted upholstery, smooth, a range of sumptuous fabric choices (including chenille, corduroy, velvet and even leather) and those sophisticated bolster cushions? Multipurpose furniture never looked so chic.

Once everything is set up, you can use the control buttons on top of the Cube or the included remote control to turn on the device and set your desired temperature.
