Quick verdict
BedJet 3 is a bed fan and heater in one: it blows air under your sheets to cool you down or warm the bed up, with no water, no pad and no subscription. It costs $498 on sale (BedJet lists $699 as the regular price), and a Dual Zone set for couples is $969 for a queen. That’s a fraction of the Eight Sleep Pod 6 (from $2,899 plus a yearly Autopilot plan) or the water-based Chilipad 2.0 (from $1,599 for one sleeper).
The honest part: BedJet cannot cool below your room’s temperature. BedJet says so itself: it works “using room temperature air,” and its own “Why NOT to get a BedJet” section says a bedroom that’s regularly over 79°F will “overwhelm” it, so run AC first. It’s also not silent: reviewers describe a steady fan or white-noise sound, louder on turbo. If you need true chilling in a hot room, a water-based system is the better tool.
Our take: great for hot sleepers in a reasonably cool room, night sweats from body heat building up under the covers, people who like a warm bed in winter, and couples who disagree on temperature. Skip it if you’re a light sleeper who needs silence or your bedroom is hot.
Pros
- ✓ Cools and heats: regulated 66 to 104°F, with up to 1,100 W of heat
- ✓ Air only: no water, pad or wiring inside your bed
- ✓ No subscription; the remote does everything without the app
- ✓ 60-night trial with free US return shipping and no restocking fee
- ✓ Far cheaper than Eight Sleep or Chilipad, especially for couples
- ✓ Cooling draws only 9 to 40 W; HSA/FSA eligible through Flex
- ✓ Reviewers: Wired 8/10, Sleepopolis 4.7/5
Cons
- ✗ Can’t chill below room temperature; a bedroom over 79°F “will overwhelm” it
- ✗ Audible fan noise, louder on turbo; no official decibel rating
- ✗ Sale prices against a much higher “compare at” price
- ✗ Cloud Sheet is extra ($139 to $169) for the best cooling
- ✗ BedJet told one owner it doesn’t sell internal parts after the 2-year warranty
- ✗ Trustpilot 4.2 from 141 reviews, with some refund and support complaints
- ✗ Marketing overstates the founder’s NASA link and its “clinically proven” study
How the BedJet works
A compact unit sits at the foot or side of your bed and pushes air through a hose under your top sheet or into a BedJet Cloud Sheet, which spreads the air across the bed. For cooling it moves room-temperature air across your body to carry away trapped heat and sweat; for warming it heats the air. A remote (or the app) sets temperature, fan speed and “biorhythm” programs that change settings through the night.
Because it uses your room’s air, cooling works by moving air, not refrigerating it. That’s why BedJet recommends air conditioning first if your bedroom is regularly above 79°F. The Cloud Sheet is optional with a single unit, but BedJet says it “significantly improves cooling performance” and Sleepopolis’ tester found it helped.

What reviewers found
- Wired (8/10, August 2019): liked the smaller unit and called the new remote “a utility game-changer,” but noted it’s “still quite expensive” and that there’s “no real change in power or airflow performance” versus the previous model.
- Sleepopolis (4.7/5, updated October 2026): “the BedJet could be a great product for those who really want to sleep at a specific temperature.” The tester found it audibly noisy, with the effect strongest near the feet, and said the Cloud Sheet helped.
- Mattress Clarity (4.7/5, tested the older V2): “The forced air really did keep me cooler/warmer when I needed it,” but it was loudest on Turbo Heat and expensive.
- Noise: BedJet publishes no decibel rating. Tuck reported about 38 to 43 dB on normal settings and 47 dB on turbo heat (2019, method not stated).
BedJet vs Eight Sleep vs Chilipad
| BedJet 3 | Chilipad 2.0 | Eight Sleep Pod 6 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| How it works | Air under the sheets | Water pad | Water cover |
| Can cool below room temp | No | Yes (55 to 115°F) | Yes (55 to 110°F) |
| Price | $498 single / $969 couple | From $1,599 per sleeper | From $2,899 |
| Subscription | None | None | Autopilot $199 to $399/yr |
| Trial | 60 nights | 30 nights | 30 nights |
Water systems actually chill, which matters in a warm room, but they put a water layer in your bed, need distilled water and cleaning, and cost two to six times as much. Eight Sleep adds sleep tracking and automatic adjustment, plus a recurring fee. BedJet is the budget, no-maintenance option, and the only one here that also blasts real heat for cold nights.
The marketing claims, checked
- “NASA engineer”: NASA’s Spinoff article says founder Mark Aramli worked on spacesuit environmental systems for NASA contractor Hamilton Sundstrand. That’s real aerospace experience, but he wasn’t a NASA employee.
- “Clinically proven”: the evidence is one 2018 study abstract of 46 menopausal women using self-reported surveys, with no control group mentioned. Promising, not proof.
- Shark Tank: BedJet did appear on Shark Tank (Season 6, 2015), asking $250,000 for 10%, but didn’t get a deal.
- Units sold: BedJet’s product pages say 240,000 sold; its About page says 400,000.
Returns, warranty and support
- Returns: “a full 60 nights from your delivery date,” with “a 100% refund on all items returned in their original packaging and undamaged condition.” Free return shipping in the US and no restocking fee. You need an RMA number first, and original shipping charges aren’t refunded. Refurbished units are final sale.
- Warranty: 2-year limited warranty, which BedJet’s marketing says covers problems “whether it’s our fault or yours.” We couldn’t find the full warranty terms. Optional Mulberry plans extend coverage.
- After the warranty: in a Trustpilot reply about a unit that died after 3 years, BedJet said it doesn’t sell internal replacement parts.
- Ratings: BBB A- (not accredited), 10 complaints in 3 years. Trustpilot 4.2 from 141 reviews, about 10% one-star, including refund and support complaints.
- Fine print: BedJet’s site terms include binding arbitration and a class-action waiver, with a 30-day opt-out.
Who should buy a BedJet
- Good fit: hot sleepers in an air-conditioned or mild bedroom, people who sweat under heavy covers, anyone who wants a warm bed on cold nights, and couples who want separate settings without paying $2,000+.
- Skip it if: your bedroom is regularly above 79°F, you need silence to sleep, or you want sleep tracking. A water-based Chilipad or Eight Sleep chills better, and a simple cooling mattress pad is the cheap, silent option.
FAQ
Does the BedJet really work?
For moving trapped heat and sweat away from your body, yes: reviewers at Wired, Sleepopolis and Mattress Clarity found it cooled and warmed them noticeably. But it uses room-temperature air, so it can’t make your bed colder than your bedroom, and BedJet says rooms regularly over 79°F will overwhelm it.
Can the BedJet cool below room temperature?
No. BedJet says it cools “using room temperature air” and that the lowest regulated temperature depends on your bedroom’s temperature. Water-based systems like Chilipad and Eight Sleep can chill to about 55°F.
How loud is the BedJet?
BedJet doesn’t publish a decibel rating. Tuck measured roughly 38 to 43 dB on normal settings and 47 dB on turbo heat in 2019, and Sleepopolis’ tester found it audibly noisy, like white noise.
How much does a BedJet cost?
On October 31, 2026, the BedJet 3 was $498 on sale (listed at $699), a Queen Dual Zone set for couples was $969, and Cloud Sheets were $139 to $169. Certified refurbished units started at $349.
Do I need the BedJet Cloud Sheet?
Not with a single unit; it works with your own sheets. BedJet says the Cloud Sheet significantly improves cooling, and the Dual Zone bundle includes one.
BedJet vs Eight Sleep: which is better?
Eight Sleep chills below room temperature and tracks sleep, but starts at $2,899 plus an Autopilot plan of $199 to $399 a year. BedJet costs a fraction of that with no subscription, and it also heats, but it only moves room-temperature air for cooling.
What is BedJet’s return policy?
60 nights from delivery, with a full refund for items returned undamaged in original packaging, free US return shipping and no restocking fee. You need an RMA number first, original shipping isn’t refunded, and refurbished units are final sale.
Was BedJet on Shark Tank?
Yes, in Season 6 (2015). The founder asked for $250,000 for 10% of the company but didn’t get a deal.
