I'd research Chilipad harder if I were in the market again. At very cursory glance it seems like less of an uphill battle. I could be wrong and they could be douchey, or their engineering somehow sucks, but maybe they are good too.

FreeSleep is what I would do if they try to force the subscription on me, but I probably wouldn't buy the product hoping that I can change their firmware against their will. I don't want to give money to a vendor I would just be antagonistic with.

If they announced they formally endorsed use of FreeSleep as an 'advanced alternative', ok, but that isn't going to happen.

    Oh wow, that looks even better! When I was looking into this about a year or so ago all I could find was the BedJet and it used air instead of water. There was another company but it went out of business, this looks like it might be it?

    Do you know if the Chillpad Dock Pro has sleep tracking like the Sleep 8? A big seller for me is that it automatically prevents overheating/being cold, and wakes you up at the right time. The website says this:

    Automatic Temperature Adjustments for Optimal Sleep Schedule automated temperature adjustments throughout the night to keep your bed at the perfect temperature for optimal sleep.

    That sounds contradictory for it to be both automatic, but also scheduled.

    If you don't own it or don't know don't worry, I'll research it more. I really appreciate you showing me these options!
