our story
Born from real need
Terra was born from the heartache of watching women we deeply love—our mothers, aunts, and friends—endure the life-altering disruption of menopausal hot flashes without adequate relief. We saw them pushing through their sleep deprivation with their health taking a hit, while existing solutions and innovation fell short. This inspired us to invent the product our mothers and so many other women needed.
Engineering Excellence
After MIT and GoogleX, our founders assembled top engineers dedicated to solving what medicine overlooked—creating a breakthrough technology to restore sleep during menopause.
Prototype to Product
We started by testing prototypes in a basement, using ghost peppers to simulate hot flashes, and then raised almost $5M to bring Terra to the masses.
Empowering Women
We believe that better sleep is more than just rest—it’s the foundation for strength, resilience, and well-being. We are fueling women with the energy, vitality, and clarity they need to thrive.
The journey to terra
It all started with a frustrating reality —
women struggling with sleep due to hot flashes had no real solutions
From Basement Experiments to Breakthroughs
Determined to solve the problem, we began building prototypes—testing them in a basement and even using ghost peppers to simulate hot flashes.
The goal was clear: invent a device that predicts hot flashes before they wake you up and cools you down instantly.
Defying Doubts, Securing Support
Women’s health is often overlooked, but we refused to yield to the norm. Sleep isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity. To restore it, we pioneered a predictive technology that responds to biosignals in real time.
We secured nearly $5 million in funding from investors who believed in our vision. Today, Terra is proof that better sleep for women isn’t niche—it’s essential.
Real Testing, Real Results
This wasn’t just a lab experiment. We tested Terra in real bedrooms, refining every detail to ensure it worked seamlessly. Women who had suffered from years of sleep disruption finally found relief.
Terra is now changing lives—helping women sleep through the night, backed by experts, and trusted by those who need it most. We continue to innovate, ensuring every woman gets the restful sleep she deserves.

FAQ
How does it work?
Terra is a smart sleep system designed to detect and prevent hot flashes before they wake you. Using a discreet bracelet sensor, Terra monitors your skin’s moisture and movement to predict when a hot flash is about to occur. The moment it detects a hot flash approaching, chilled water flows through a thin, comfortable mattress pad, instantly lowering your body temperature without disruption. Unlike other cooling solutions, Terra works proactively, preventing overheating rather than just slowly responding to your manual adjustments. In addition to the automated cooling, you have the ability to manually adjust and trigger cooling. With its seamless, automatic design, Terra helps you stay asleep, wake up refreshed, and feel more energized—turning better sleep into better living.
How long does it take the mattress pad to cool me down?
Terra takes about 5 seconds to first start feeling the cooling, it reaches maximum cooling within 20 seconds of the hot flash detection or the manual cooling triggered by you pressing the button on the bracelet.
Is the mattress pad easy to maintain?
Yes! The mattress pad is designed for low maintenance with a machine-washable cover and an easy-to-clean cooling unit. While distilled water is preferred for refilling the cooling hub, tap water also works.
Is there a money back guarantee?
Yes! We guarantee a money-back guarantee for any Terra returned within 30 days of delivery.
How do you handle my data?
Your data is encrypted and securely stored. We only use it to optimize your cooling experience and to provide personalized health recommendations.
How is Terra different than other?
Unlike other cooling pads, Terra predicts and preemptively cools before you overheat, ensuring uninterrupted sleep. If you prefer manual control, simply press the button on the bracelet for unparalleled instant relief—Terra’s mattress pad cools down within 5 seconds, dropping to 55 degrees.
