Frequently Asked Questions
About The Heating and Cooling Mattress Pad

Will the ChiliPad™ work with a Tempur-pedic or other memory foam mattress?
Yes, the ChiliPad™ covering was designed to stretch at the same rate as the most common mattress. Heat activated visco-elastic foam will still provide the supportive benefit, but without the heat buildup.

Back to Top

Should I still use a mattress protector?
We still recommend a mattress protector be placed between the mattress and the ChiliPad™ to protect the mattress warranty. In rare cases (temperature differences of greater than 30F) the ChiliPad™ can experience some condensation buildup near the circulation tubes.

Will the ChiliPad™ automatically maintain the set temperature?
Yes, when the power is turned on, the ChiliPad™ will return to the last set temperature.

Does it help with hot flashes?

Why do I need it for my whole body when just my head sweats?
Although many consumers feel the temperature problem at night has to do with their head getting too hot, the temperature build up is actually all over the body and just vented at head area. When the whole body temperature is properly regulated, excess sweating will cease.

Back to Top

Will the pad change the feel of my mattress?
No, we have chosen materials to match the stretch rate of the sheets and mattress ticking used on the most popular mattresses in the country.

Back to Top

Will I be able to feel the tubes in the mattress?
It is possible to feel the circulation tubes with your fingers if you search for them, but they cannot be felt when laying on the mattress. The silicone tubing is soft enough that it allows for a comfortable sleeping surface while still allowing water to pass through the tubes.

Back to Top

How much noise does it make?
The noise level is low. The only audible components are a fan that is similar to a desktop computer and a water pump that contributes as much noise as a small aquarium pump. The noise typically becomes part of the room's ambient noise within two weeks, similar to an air conditioning unit.

Back to Top

Are replacement parts available?
Yes, we offer replacement pads, control units, remotes and connection tubing.

Back to Top

Can I use a ChiliPad™ with my adjustable bed?
Yes, the ChiliPad™ will fit and move with an adjustable bed. We do recommend that you purchase an extension tube (one per unit) to allow enough extra length for raising the bed.
