Water-based cooling wins. The Dock Pro reaches 55°F with direct surface contact; the BedJet’s air-based approach tops out at 66°F. For serious hot sleepers, the ChiliPad delivers noticeably stronger cooling.

Neither is silent. The Dock Pro’s fan runs 50–55 dB; the BedJet is slightly quieter at up to 43 dB. Light sleepers may prefer the BedJet, though both require some tolerance for fan noise.

Value for Money

At $499, the BedJet is unbeatable. The Dock Pro ($1,099–$1,999) offers more cooling power and no subscription, but the BedJet’s price-to-performance ratio is exceptional.

Both have smart home integration and programmable schedules. The Dock Pro adds Warm Awake and dual-zone; the BedJet has biorhythmic cooling. Neither offers sleep tracking — they’re feature-parity at this price tier.

The BedJet wins on simplicity: slide it under the bed, no water, quarterly filter cleaning. The Dock Pro requires water refills, monthly cleaning, and pad placement — more setup and maintenance.


Our Verdict

Dock Pro Wins

ChiliPad wins on cooling power; BedJet wins on value and ease — pick based on how hot you sleep.

The ChiliPad Dock Pro cools harder and reaches lower temperatures — worth the extra cost if you’re a serious hot sleeper. The BedJet 3 is the better value and easier to live with: $499, minimal maintenance, and a 60-night trial. Start with the BedJet; upgrade to the Dock Pro only if you need more cooling power.
