Sleep Solution: Chilipad - Your Essential Tool for Comfortable Slumber
The OOLER Sleep System, formerly known as the Chilipad, has undergone significant updates since its rebranding in 2019. This water-based mattress pad, designed for both heating and cooling, offers numerous benefits for those who struggle with temperature regulation during sleep.
One of the key updates in the OOLER is its larger water reservoir, holding 900 ml of water. This increased capacity reduces the need for frequent refills, making it more convenient for overnight use. The OOLER unit also boasts a slimmer design, allowing it to fit in spaces with a clearance of 6.25 inches or higher, making it easier to accommodate under beds compared to the original system.
The OOLER includes an integrated UV light inside the system to automatically sterilize and clean the water tubing, ensuring hygiene is maintained without the need for manual cleaning. Unlike the original Chilipad system, the OOLER is operated via a smartphone app connected by Bluetooth. This app enables more advanced features such as adjusting fan speed, setting customizable sleep schedules, and activating a silent warm wake-up alarm.
However, some users have reported issues with the smartphone app, which can be buggy and difficult to connect. In such cases, manual adjustment via the unit may be necessary.
The OOLER comes with straps to hold it in place and prevent shifting. It is recommended to place the OOLER over a mattress protector for maximum benefit. The tubes of the Ooler snap into the Cube and do not leak when disconnected.
The OOLER is beneficial for a variety of sleepers. For those who have trouble sleeping due to temperature, the OOLER can help with falling asleep faster, staying asleep longer, and waking up refreshed. It is also beneficial for hot sleepers, as it can keep the mattress cool all night long. Additionally, the Ooler can be used to relieve hot flashes, night sweats, and other temperature-related symptoms.
The Ooler is available in two models: the Ooler Standard and the Ooler Pro. The Standard is suitable for most people, while the Pro is better for couples with different temperature preferences or those requiring more cooling. The prices, as listed on their website, are: Single ($449), Twin ($499), Twin XL ($599), Full ($649), Queen ($999), King ($1,099), Cal King ($1,099).
The Ooler's climate control boxes, or Cubes, are devices that circulate and condition the water for the pad, weighing about 5 lbs. each. Using a comforter or blanket with the Ooler improves its insulation and results. The Ooler remote is easy to use and works right out of the box, but requires batteries.
Before using the Ooler, it is important to note that the cube of the Ooler needs to be plugged in and turned on before adding water. The Ooler can cool one side of the bed to as low as 23.6 degrees Celsius and heat the other side, making it a versatile solution for temperature regulation during sleep.
In summary, the OOLER Sleep System advances the original Chilipad by adding larger capacity, improved hygiene features, and more versatile control options through a dedicated app, albeit at the cost of some app reliability. For those seeking a comfortable and temperature-regulated sleep environment, the OOLER is a worthwhile investment.
