Which Bed Cooling System Is Better? | ChiliSleep Ooler Vs. Dock Pro

Is it worth upgrading from the Ooler to the Dock Pro? These bed cooling systems are both from ChiliSleep and I wanted to see which performed better. There are a bunch of different kinds of bed cooling systems such as the BedJet, Eight Sleep Pod Pro, and the Chilipad. I've only ever tried the Ooler and the Dock Pro and wanted to share my experience and opinions.

(Note: I get a small kickback if you choose to use my code or link - thank you SO much if you choose to use it!)

UPDATE: Eight Sleep's Pod 2 or 3 is going to be your best bet moving forward. It looks like SleepMe/ChiliSleep is no longer selling any of their products but they haven't formally announced anything (I'm not sure whether the company is being bought or liquidated, but something is going on). I'll provide an update if I hear anything!

And free to use the code BALANCINGLAURA to get $50 off the Eight Sleep! 😊

I bought my wife the ChiliSleep Ooler and nobody (until you) talked about ambient room temperature affecting the ability to cool. I still haven't found any documentation and haven't been able to get a response from Ooler as to the maximum temperature differential between the room temp and the pad temp. In addition, something people need to be aware of for all cooling devices, that the law of thermodynamics is an important consideration. The heat/energy removed from your body and the surface of the the pad has to go somewhere, this is why our air conditioners vent to the outside and it's warm under or behind your refrigerator. Likewise whatever device is cooling your bed has to vent warm heat to the immediate surroundings, which means the ambient room temp. My wife shut the windows and door to the bedroom to get some daytime sleep because she's a night nurse and the bedroom was so hot the Ooler wouldn't go below 72 degrees.

Great video! One of the best for understanding some of the differences between the Ooler and DockPro.
I'm coming up to the 2-year point of having my Ooler and wanted to pass along a warning to other Ooler, and possibly DockPro, users. I HIGHLY recommend putting your Ooler or DockPro unit on some kind of tray with a bit of a lip. For me unfortunately at about the year year mark my Ooler started leaking water onto the carpet below. I was unaware of this until it stopped working due to the water running out. It was at that point I discovered this and my carpet below was ruined - both permanently stained and mold/mildew was starting to form. Luckily, Chili offered to repair it at no cost but it ended up being taking just over a month. Spare yourself the headache, especially if you have

The first night that I used it was a bad experience. I woke up and when I got out of bed, I forgot the unit was on the floor. I stepped on it, fell into my nightstand knocking my lamp to the floor (that broke). As I was turning to gain my balance, I reached out for something to grab and pulled my tv off the wall (that broke). I tried to save my tv, but threw my back out. I then fell onto the floor, ass first onto the broken bulb from the lamp. I had to get 8 stitches in my ass. Luckily, it didn't hurt when the glass when in, because my ass was still numb from the ChiliSleep. Other than that, it's a great product!

Thanks for the video. I am choosing between Dock Pro, Ooler, and Eight Sleep Pod now and this was a great help.

Thank you for sharing Laura!!! Can't believe you woke up freezing cold in the middle of the night lol but I'm glad to hear that the Dock Pro ended up working out :)

Hey Laura, just a quick one…what about a noise level? I’m really terrible sleeper and need really quiet environment to sleep so I just wondered if the devices are quiet or what to expect. Many thanks!

[leahherrera]

I'm still seeing the doc pro for sale

[caesarbravo]

Laura, how’s the dock pro working now a days? I want one but I hear that they start leaking 4-12 months after using them.

[greenenigma]

How about noise levels between older Ooler and the Dock Pro. Did you by chance measure decibels? (There are free apps to measure noise levels). I’m sensitive to noise and the fan on the ooler keeps me awake on anything but the ‘silent’ mode. (Not really silent, but certainly quieter).

I’m curious if noise level is same or improved on Dock Pro

Thank you very much for this video. I have had the original Chili Cube since 2010 and upgraded to the Ooler about 2 years ago. I have been debating about purchasing the Dock Pro and I think this pushed me over the edge to go forward. One of the biggest issues I have with the devices is the ability to clean them. It looks like the Dock Pro is much easier to clean and get rid of the nasty water. Have you gone through the process of cleaning it out yet and is it pretty simple?

[craighellberg]

I have a few questions regarding the Doc Pro please. 1. Other than using the app on a phone, does it come with a remote control or would you have to control the settings at the box? 2. If you get the full pad with dual pads, can each person set their controls to what they want? Thank you for your time.

[greenenigma]

Has anyone bought the Dock Pro since they got bought? Have things improved? One fan on one of our ooler units is making a loud noise so looking to replace/upgrade. 8 sleep looks like it might be a good product but that monthly subscription is a non-starter. The cost over even a few years would be absurd for something where a subscription might provide some premium features but not necessary for core functionality

Does the cover make the bed significantly harder? I tried out an eight sleep and it made the mattress much harder and we had to return it

[jeffreyelliott]

How does the Perfectly Snug topper compare?

[KingCharles-oz]

I literally had to give my ooler away. It was so loud and it vibrated through the the bed and through my pillow.

[ryant]

I had them. Both dont work, and i couldn't get my money back!!! 😢

[scottiZepidemic]

Dock pro better work better, its almost double the price lol. My old chille pad broke and they refunded me. Chose the ooler for the price with the discount codes but man i really really was wanting that dock pro

[brianterasawa]

Am i the only one that has had issues with the Ooler? i had to send in both units in twice due to issues. once they leaked and damaged my new nighstand and the other time it was not cooling and the other unit stopped heating. So annoyed!

[Ryan-umug]

Ok so in 2019 I got the chilipad. It had become so noisey and horrible to sleep with. But it didn't it's job and cooled. But u had to fill it almost weekly and man did it grow bacteria! So gross and i have no clue how seeing it was only filled with distilled water. Enstead of fixing I upgraded to the ooler. Same thing I think it keeps getting clogged from chunks of bacteria. So disappointed. This one doesn't loose water but I change it every 2 weeks and when it makes noise it's because something gets blocked. Tonight I pulled a big worm like thing out of it with tweezers. So disgusting. Especially since it's got a UV light!!!!
