Prices by size
What does Orion Sleep cost?
Budget from the catalog price, not the separate home-page offer.
Queen is the lowest-priced size at $2,395, listed on the Orion Sleep store on October 17, 2026. All listed sizes have two zones and were in stock. The catalog showed no separate list prices.
The Orion home page also advertised a system with a sleep test from $2,195 that day. That differed from the Queen catalog price used here; confirm the package and checkout total before ordering.
| Variant | Bed size | Zones | Price | List price | In stock |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Queen | Queen | 2 | $2,395 | — | Yes |
| King | King | 2 | $2,595 | — | Yes |
| California King | Cal King | 2 | $2,695 | — | Yes |
How it works
How does Orion cool the bed?
Orion says its Control Tower sits beside the bed and circulates heated or cooled water through the Smart Cover. The cover fits over the mattress like a fitted sheet; the tower plugs into a standard outlet.
Each side runs its own temperature, according to Orion. This is water cooling through the cover, not air blown beneath the sheets.
The system puts water in the bed cover and a powered tower beside the bed.
5 years in your state
What does five years cost?
The matching state totals mean electricity is missing, not that running costs are equal.
This site's five-year estimate starts at $2,395 for Queen in California, Texas, Florida and the U.S. average. Those equal amounts are purchase-only floors, not complete running costs: Orion does not publish power draw.
Core controls add no subscription fee. The chart excludes optional Orion Intelligence and does not establish purification-tablet costs. Electricity cannot be estimated, even as a full-power upper bound, without published watts.

Living with it
What upkeep and noise should you expect?
Orion says to top off the Control Tower water once or twice a year and add a purification tablet. It also says the cover is spot-clean only, not machine washable.
Orion publishes neither power draw nor a decibel figure. There is no maker-published number here to establish how much electricity it uses or how loud it sounds.
Plan for water upkeep and spot cleaning; power use and noise remain unquantified.

Temperature range
How cold or warm does it get?
Orion lists a water temperature range of 50–113°F. That describes the water the system heats or cools, not a promised temperature at your skin.
The separate zones let partners choose different settings. Orion's published range does not include an ambient-room condition.
Orion heats as well as cools, with separate temperature settings for each side.

Trial and warranty
What are the return and warranty terms?
Orion says the 30-night trial starts when the system arrives. For returns, it says it emails prepaid labels for both boxes and refunds after receiving them. Its limited warranty lasts 2 years from purchase.
Core controls require no subscription; optional Orion Intelligence costs $250 a year. Orion advertises HSA/FSA use, but the terms were not confirmed here. Do not assume your plan will reimburse the purchase.
The trial starts on arrival; distinguish included temperature controls from the optional paid features.

Who it suits
Who does Orion suit?
Check bed size, overnight base position and willingness to maintain a water system before comparing features.
Orion's two zones suit partners who want different temperatures, including one who wants warmth. Queen, King and Cal King are available without a required subscription for core controls.
It does not fit a requirement for water-free bedding. Orion also says Split King, Full and Twin are unavailable. For adjustable bases, Orion requires the bed to stay within about 2 inches of flat overnight.

Against the neighbors
How do nearby options compare?
For a Queen in California with one hot and one cold sleeper, this site's five-year estimate for Orion is at least $2,395. Chilipad Cube and Perfectly Snug have lower starting totals, but their electricity is also uncounted.
The BedJet 3 comparison is estimated at up to $1,357 using full-power electricity assumptions. That is not the same accounting as Orion's purchase-only floor.
Compare what each total includes before treating the gap as a five-year saving.

Does Orion Sleep require a subscription?
Orion says heating, cooling, dual-zone controls and basic scheduling work without a subscription. Its optional Orion Intelligence features cost $250 a year.
What mattress depth fits the Orion Sleep System?
Orion's pages differ: one says mattresses up to 18 inches deep, while the Smart Cover description says 10–16 inches. Confirm your mattress depth with Orion before ordering.
Is Orion Sleep quiet?
