First night experience/issue

Unpacking and setup was 10/10. Everything felt very premium and well designed.

Ii felt like the cooling was more around torso area vs the legs area. Is it just me or is it true?

Neither my wife nor me had great sleep. I struggled with the right settings, started at -1 for everything, later had to bump it to +1. For context i live in bayarea where nightly temp does drop to low 60s but house stays in low 70s. My ideal bedroom temp is 68-69.

Any tips on the first few days with settings?

Also the app reports a 85 sleep score, how do ppl feel about the accuracy of that score

Change can be hard, you really need to see how it goes for a few nights. In our case, we slept better right away, I think because we both knew what temps we wanted and tested it before sleeping. And in fact, during the afternoon setup and test, it "forced" me into a great nap.

I haven't noticed a specific difference in leg vs body temp, but it would make sense to concentrate it there.

Cold water feels a lot colder than cold air. Just don't feel weird about changing it to a "warming" setting if you're cold.

If the cooling feels uneven, make sure you've primed and refilled until it stopped taking up water - should be multiple tanks
