The Complete Buyer’s Guide to Cooling & Heating Mattresses (OAK SLEEP HUB vs Eight Sleep, Chilipad & BedJet)

If you’ve ever struggled to sleep because your bed was too hot or too cold, you know how much temperature matters. That’s why more people are turning to smart sleep systems that heat and cool your bed.

But with so many options, which one should you choose? Today, we’ll compare four of the most popular systems:

  • Eight Sleep Pod
  • Chilipad
  • BedJet
  • OAK SLEEP HUB 2 (Australia’s own brand)

🛏 The Technology

Eight Sleep Pod → Uses water cooling and heating, paired with an advanced app that tracks your sleep and makes adjustments. Clear leader in this comparison in the sleep technology offered. Temperature range: 12.8°C–43.3°C.

Chilipad (by SleepMe) → Water-based system like Eight Sleep, but simpler. Offers good cooling and heating, but fewer features and less precision. Lower cost options feature single-zone only. Pricier options include dual-zone operation.

BedJet → Uses airflow instead of water. It blows room temperature hot or cool air into your sheets. It has no ability to cool or heat the air, only move it. Feels quick at first, but less consistent through the night. Some drying affect noticeable.

OAK SLEEP HUB 2 → Uses the same water-based cooling and heating components as a popular device known as Pod 3. Wide range: 12°C–55°C — giving you more cooling and heating power than any of the others. Dual-zone control for couples is included, without needing two hubs. No app control, only controlled by display on unit.

💰 The Price

  • Eight Sleep Pod → Around $4,500 AUD+, plus a monthly subscription to unlock features.
  • Chilipad → Between $1,300 AUD-$2200 AUD, but with fewer features. Shipping to Australia adds cost and time.
  • BedJet → Around $1,200 AUD, but it’s room temperature airflow, not water-based cooling.
  • OAK SLEEP HUB 2 → $1,799 AUD. No subscription. One price for the full system.

🚚 Shipping & Support

  • Eight Sleep → Ships from the US. Delivery to Australia takes 1–4 weeks.
  • Chilipad → US-based, also takes 1–4 weeks to arrive.
  • BedJet → Ships internationally. Expect 2–3 weeks.
  • OAK SLEEP HUB 2 → Ships locally in Australia. You’ll get it in 1–4 days. Faster support too, since you’re buying from a local company.

⚖️ Final Verdict

If you want the most advanced sleep technology, app and tracking, Eight Sleep is the leader — but it comes at a high price and ongoing subscription fees.

If you want a cheaper but simple water-based system, Chilipad works, but it’s basic and slower to get in Australia.

If you’re okay with airflow instead of water cooling, BedJet is the cheapest, but it’s not as consistent for overnight comfort.

But if you want the best mix of performance, price, and local support, the OAK SLEEP HUB 2 wins. It delivers the tested cooling system from popular brands, a wider temperature range, ships faster, and costs far less — with no subscription required.

For Australians who want better sleep without spending $4,500+, the OAK SLEEP HUB 2 is the smarter choice.
