Prices by size
What does each size cost?
Budget for the available size and zone count, not just the starting price.
The $699 Half Queen was out of stock on the Sleepme store on October 17, 2026. The lowest-priced available options were Half King and Half Cal King at $719, against the store’s list price of $799.
For two sleepers, the store listed Queen at $1,349 and King or Cal King at $1,549. Those packages provide separate temperature zones; the single-sleeper options cover only one side.

How it works
How does the Cube work?
Sleepme describes a bedside unit that pumps temperature-controlled water through a pad or cover on the mattress. The water loop carries heating or cooling to the bed; water is part of the bedding system.
Sleepme says the Cube uses a remote or on-device buttons for manual control. It requires no Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or app account. The air-versus-water comparison explains the difference in system types.
The Cube puts water tubing in the bed, with manual controls rather than an app.
5 years in your state
What does five years cost?
Treat $1,349 as a purchase floor, not a complete five-year running cost.
This site’s five-year estimate starts at $1,349 for the two-zone Queen in California, Texas, Florida and the U.S. average. Each shows the same amount because Sleepme does not publish power draw, so electricity cannot be calculated.
There is no subscription charge. Cleaner cost is unpublished and is also excluded. The chart’s plus sign marks an incomplete total, not free electricity or maintenance; actual spending will exceed the purchase-only figure.

Living with it
What upkeep and noise should you expect?
The Sleepme help center calls for a System Cleaner packet in the reservoir each month and a semi-annual system flush, or as needed. The cleaner’s cost is not published, so a maintenance allowance cannot be priced here.
Sleepme publishes neither power draw nor a noise level in decibels. That leaves no numerical basis for judging electricity use or bedside noise. Follow the maker’s maintenance instructions rather than treating the Cube as maintenance-free.
Plan for recurring cleaning, with unpriced cleaner and no published power or noise figures.

Trial and warranty
What protection comes with the purchase?
Sleepme lists a 30-night trial and a 1-year limited warranty. Its warranty wording covers new thermal-regulating control units. These are separate terms: the trial is not an extension of warranty coverage.
Sleepme offers HSA/FSA payment at checkout. That option does not establish eligibility for an individual buyer; eligibility depends on a letter of medical necessity and the plan administrator. The Cube has no subscription.
Check the current return conditions and warranty scope before ordering.

Who it suits
Who does the Cube suit?
Separate zones and no subscription are the fit; water-system care is the commitment.
Sleepme’s two-sleeper packages provide separate zones for Queen, King and Cal King. Because the Cube heats as well as cools, its specifications fit couples who want different bed temperatures.
It also fits a preference for manual controls and no subscription. It does not fit a requirement to keep water out of the bed: the water loop runs through the mattress pad or cover.

Against the neighbors
How do nearby systems compare?
For a Queen in California with one hot and one cold sleeper, this site’s five-year estimate for Cube is at least $1,349. BedJet 3 Dual Zone totals up to $1,357, including electricity under the full-power assumption.
Perfectly Snug starts at $2,195 and Orion at $2,395 in the same estimate, both excluding unpublished electricity use. Cube’s purchase floor is lower, but its missing running costs prevent a complete comparison with BedJet 3.
A purchase-only floor and a total including electricity are not directly comparable.
