Need a better night's sleep? There's a Mooresville-based company looking to help. CLTtoday got an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of Chilipad by Sleepme's manufacturing and assembly operations site, which recently moved its operations from China to Iredell County.

How it works

Inside the facility, a small but mighty assembly produces ~200 orders daily, ranging from mattress toppers to replacement docks, cleaners, and repair kits. The company is looking to add 15-20 employees to its current team of 45 and expand sales into Mexico and South America later this year.

The tour coincided with the debut of the Chilipad 2.0, a water-powered mattress topper designed to let sleepers warm or cool their side of the bed.

Fun fact: The temperature can be set between 55 and 115 degrees, and the system turns off automatically when someone gets out of bed.

"If we actively cool our bodies at night, we can impact easier transitions into sleep, better quality sleep, and be more productive during the day," Dr. Chris Winter, a double board-certified neurologist and sleep specialist, told CLTtoday.
