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. Personally, I sleep best with the Cube System set to 65° F, while my buddy Bryan (who is a really hot sleeper) has set it to 55° F — the lowest the Cube can go. I had a chili pad. From an engineering side, they just dont work. And I WANTED it to work. I’m a really hot sleeper. It just never worked. I’d jump in, it’d be cool, then shortly nothing. I was very disappointed. So being an engineer and EE guy, I got to digging into it. Your body produces more heat in BTUs, than the chilipad has in cooling. Its also ambient air sensitive. A warmer room, it wont cool much. I could go all engineer, and talk about power usage in watts converted to BTUs in cooling, talk about btus in heat the body releases, the volume of water flowing through the chilipad, measured temp of water coming in , and water coming out, etc. Its electronically and by any physics, impossible with the low power usage, to generate the BTUs in cooling needed and the water flow to maintain it. Reply I really appreciate that flexibility, because it means you can easily take your Cube Sleep System with you. I’ll expand on that idea further down, so keep reading. Price and Value

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. That’s particularly important because we don’t always sleep in the same bed or mattress when visiting family, depending on who we stay with. Boucle has been all over the interiors world the last couple of years and it's not going anywhere in 2022. This Made.com offering marries form with function here – it's cosy, useful and wouldn't look out of place in your living room. How the Cube Sleep System Works The Cube circulates cool or warm water through microtubes that are woven into the mattress pad. For comparison, a quiet dishwasher registers at around 50 decibels and a washing machine at around 70 decibels.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.

The Cube Sleep System is the company’s original mattress cooling solution, and OOLER is the more advanced and upgraded solution.

Different types of IKEA Mattress

What’s cool is that the “half queen” pad fits a regular single mattress, and the “half king” fits a twin XL mattress. In reality, you can make a half queen or half king Chilipad work for you on pretty much any mattress, regardless of the size. But we also remembered how brutally hot the nights can get during the summer in both of those places, since most homes aren’t equipped with air conditioning units. In a nutshell, thermoregulation is an “expensive” biological process that takes away resources from some of the other restorative and regenerative processes that the body is engaged in during sleep, such as digestion, muscle recovery and memory consolidation.
