Perfect Sleep Pad - Hydro-Based Cooling and Heating Mattress Pad - A Drug-Free Natural Sleep Aid for Hot Flashes, Night Sweat, Menopause, Insomnia, Hyperhydrosis - King Size

I rarely write reviews, but I’m impressed with this device and concept enough to post. We have had the dual unit (Queen size) for about two months. My wife has been suffering hot flashes and this has been a godsend for her. Without overly delving into the technical aspect in essence it functions like a miniature heat pump. It circulates water underneath your body and either extracts heat (when in cooling mode) or extracts cold (when in heating mode) – the water is then circulated to the machine that can either cool or heat the water just like your home heat pump does to freon. The remote control works very well. When we retire to the bedroom for the evening we hit the “On” button on the remote and set the run time to 10 hours. While we are getting ready for bed the machine cools/heats the mattress surface and about 5 minutes later it is at the desired temperature. Ten hours later it shuts off (run time is adjustable from constant on, down to a couple of hours). My wife and I are now sleeping through the night – at our on optimum sleep temperature. In my opinion the device does not make excessive noise. There is a fan in the control unit that discharges the heat (when in cooling mode or vice versa) and the sound is akin to a white noise machine. If you are bothered by the sound of a small fan, then you can purchase extension hoses from the manufacturer to place the unit further away from your ears. Personally, we like having a small fan on as it tends to mask other ambient noises. The capillary tubes in the mattress pad are unnoticeable by us (just a fitted sheet over) do not feel any bumps or ridges – just the bliss of a chilled or heated bed sheet. The one “negative” if you want to call it that, is the aesthetics of the set-up. While the machine controller is relatively small – it eats up a fair amount of real estate on our respective night stands. I plan to purchase the extension tubes from the manufacturer to extend the controller a bit to its own stand beside our existing night stand, that way the only thing on our night stand is the small remote which we keep in the night stand drawer. Keep in mind, just like your outside heat pump – the controller needs airflow to work so don’t enclose it where it can not exchange heat with the ambient air in the room – if you do then it will not be as efficient and may shut down to the inability to exchange heat/cool with the surrounding air. To note: I have received nothing from the manufacturer for this review – just doing my part to help consumers like myself out. Also, I have not tried other similar devices like the Chilipad. I will say though that I selected this over the Chilipad primarily over price, knowing I could return it via Amazon. It works very well for us – gets plenty cold for us so we are very happy with the purchase (I am convinced my wife would return me before returning this thing)

I had tried the Chilipad (Queen w/ dual zones and cubes) which was pretty much a complete failure. Sure, it did cool the mattress, but the fans in the cube were loud and the expelled too much heat for my small bedroom. I would wake up to a room that was 85 degrees. After chatting with their support team, they agreed my room was too small...but others I had talked to said their cubes didn't put out any heat. I was going to return it and get another one, but good luck! Getting a Chilipad quickly is impossible. Amazon is always out of them and there's a one month waiting period on the Chilipad web site.So I decided to return the Chilipad and take a gamble on the Perfect Sleep Pad ("PSP")...and I'm glad I did.It actually does more than the Chilipad.It has a timer that you can set. The Chilipad only turns off the cube after 10 hours. The PSP timer can be used to turn on AND off the units. So you can set it in the morning to come on around your bed time.It has an "Auto Mode" that let you fall asleep to a cool mattress and gradually warm it up...and vice-versa.The Perfect Sleep Pad is also a lot quieter than the Chilipad and I no longer hear sounds of a jet engine taking off in the middle of the night. It also doesn't heat up my room.The pump has a lower profile so it slides under the bed without any problem.I also think the interface on the cooling pumps is nicer than the Chilipad. I like how you select a temperature and then press enter to lock it in and get a nice solid feed back sound.Finally, the queen size/dual zone was $300 cheaper than the Chilipad and works just as well. I do need to set it 2 to 3 degrees lower than the Chilipad, but that's because the PSP is a little thicker than the Chilipad and a bit more comfortable to lay on.So that's my review. If you were trying to decide which one to go with, I highly recommend the Perfect Sleep Pad...and you can probably get one this week. :)

Great seller and quality product. I both love and hate this product.I hate that I can't get it to cool as advertised but what it does do, it does well. If there is a way to get it to cool below 64 degrees, I haven't found it. When getting into bed, 64 degrees feels cool. But, in a short while, you can't tell that you are laying on a cool pad, I'm bedridden and live in Florida. My home A/C is set to 75 degrees but in Florida, with the humidity, that is still hot. I was hoping to use it on a full time basis in order to stay more comfortable in bed. I have a Sleep Number bed and adjustable frame and thought this would be perfect to round it out. It is costly, but I figure you can't get this kind of technology without spending some money.I love the idea and the design of the product. It's quiet while running and it looks like the high quality piece of equipment that it is. The concept is great but there is no way that I can tell to get it to cool more. I'm sure part of this problem is that I'm in the bed for about 20 hours a day and my body heat transfers to the sleep pad instead of the sleep pad transferring the cool to my body. If turned on and covered while I'm out of bed, it is like getting into bed on a cool winter night and that is great. Just can't maintain anything like that throughout the night. I'm gonna keep my eyes and ears open about the Perfect Sleep Pad and try to stay on top of any improvements and take advantage of them.

I will edit this, it is not working properly now just a year after purchasing I sent a message on Amazon and got a quick reply with a suggestion that did not fix it. I was offered a replacement unit. Just waiting to hear back. If they replace the unit s was offered will update this review when I hear backThis product as far as cooling me while I sleep is amazing I previously woke 4-6 times a night so hot. I don’t wake with heat any more and sleep 4-5 hrs without waking. The one issue I have is pairing the remote I can’t pair it the seller called me and tried to talk me through it still not working That’s the only reason it did not get 5 stars But the base unit is excellent I’m so happy with my purchase

Had my perfect sleep pad for about five years. I had an issue half way through and they kindly repaired it for me without issue! So greatful to have this machine.

Love it, simply love it! Wish it had a programable timer to warm you up as the night goes on. One can easily over look that though because it does get your bed so cold that you can’t sleep on it! I thought that 8 degrees Celsius would be awesome…I set mine to 15-18 during the summer and the bed is ready for sleep time! Both units only took just under a Litre each to fill with a super easy setup! Wish I would have known about this sooner! A must buy for those who sleep hot or cold!

The pad is very comfortable. But the cooling power is not adequate.

The cooling pad worked ok but I was not satisfied as it didn't keep me cool enough. This product was 30 day full money back guarantee if not satisfied. I had to contact my credit card company to get my refund as they refused my request. In the end I did receive my refund. Shouldn't have to go through so much trouble returning when not satisfied.
