Hi John, thank you so much for your feedback, and for choosing Perfectly Snug! I just checked and don't see a support ticket for you yet, and we would love to help you resolve the issues you are experiencing. If you'd like, please feel free to email [email protected], and let them know Dusty suggested you reach out for assistance!
In the meantime, here are some common culprits for the issues you're describing. For the cooling, ensure the mesh side of the topper is up, the power cords are at the head of the bed, and that the power switches are in the "ON" position. (I know this sounds basic, but we've seen all of these!) When you switch the power on it will say "Welcome," That's how you know for sure.
Triple check the power cables as well. The barrel connectors (the cylindrical cable connectors closest to the head of your bed), pull apart easily for sleep industry regulatory reasons - this is a safety feature. Check that they are firmly connected. Then, check the connecting cables at the power bricks themselves - these are much harder to push in, so please really push them together firmly! The green lights should be lit on the power bricks, with no flickering.
I started there, because that is what causes the app to fail to "find" your Smart Topper, 99% of the time. Loose power connections.
It is normal for the app to briefly say "Reconnecting" when you first open the app, because the app will search for your topper through your router/home network - it shouldn't take long, but that brief "Reconnecting" message is normal. This happens because our toppers do not connect utilizing a cloud server, but privately and direct through your router.
Going through connection process repeatedly, that could mean an apple iphone "private relay" setting that needs to be disabled, a VPN interference, or a router configured as a Guest network with increased privacy settings. Please reach out to our team if you'd like assistance checking this. They are always happy to arrange a phone call as well!
We have many cooling tips at www.perfectlysnug.com/getting-started, but for starters ensure there is no mattress protector over the topper. Check that you can breathe through your fitted sheet if you hold it over your mouth, freely and easily. Cotton or bamboo, basic percale weave work great. :) Lay on the topper, hold the cold/down button for 5 seconds, and wait for it to say "Cold Burst." Stay there, and you'll feel the cooling remove heat from your body. That tells you it is working. Our team would be able to help you optimize your settings for overnight, so please feel free to reach out! You might want to try something like Start at Cold 5 (-5), Sleep at Cold 8 (-8), wake at Cold 7 (-7) - then reach out and let us know how it goes.
I hope this helps, and we look forward to assisting you further!
Warm regards,
Dusty
