Eight Sleep Won Awards, Won Over Elon & Zuck, and Took Silicon Valley by Storm. Now, Their “Smart Bed” Is Even Cooler.
And we mean literally. The latest generation of this temperature-regulating mattress cover offers 2x more cooling power. But that’s not the only upgrade Eight Sleep made to its celebrity and CEO-favorite sleep technology…
Meet the Pod 4 and the Pod 4 Ultra: the latest installment in the industry-leading sleep technology that now detects and stops snoring, has twice the cooling power, and offers adjustable sleeping positions. (Not to mention 40% quieter performance, clinical-grade sleep and health tracking, manual control zones, a 20% thinner contouring surface, and more.) In other words, they took the world’s smartest bed and made it smarter.
Eight Sleep’s Pod 4 costs $2,499 for a Queen size, and the Pod 4 Ultra—which features the auto-adjustable base for custom body positioning—costs $3,999 for a Queen. If you know anything about Eight Sleep, you know these mattress covers aren’t cheap, but you also know that they’re clinically tested to improve sleep by 32%, increase your daytime energy by 34%, and give you up to one hour more of sleep every night.
Essentially, investing in Eight Sleep is like investing in Google in 1998. Unlimited return.
Meet the Brand Behind the All-New, Upgraded Magic
Eight Sleep has been specializing in “smart beds” since 2014, and has since racked up some serious firepower—with everyone from Olympians, F1 drivers, professional athletes, and famous neuroscientists jumping on the Eight Sleep bandwagon.
On top of that, Eight Sleep won the 2021 Men’s Health Sleep Award, was named one of TIME’s Best Inventions in 2019, and got shoutouts from Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Aaron Judge, and more. The result of years of research and technology upgrades has been sleep so good and a product so powerful, one guy even got a tattoo of Eight Sleep on his arm.
The Eight Sleep Pod’s current technology offers groundbreaking and sleep-maximizing features like automatic temperature regulation from 55°F to 110°F on dual zones, biometric tracking for health data, and a gentle-rise alarm. But the Pod 4 and Pod 4 Ultra take Eight Sleep’s brilliant idea a few steps further. Let’s get into a rundown of what’s new and improved.
1. Detects and Stops Snoring
Both the Pod 4 and the Pod 4 Ultra now offer detailed reports of when you or your partner snore and how strong the snoring is. And, if you splurge on the Pod 4 Ultra, Eight Sleep will even do something about it. That’s right—this bed can literally stop you from snoring, thanks to the Pod 4 Ultra‘s adjustable Base. Synced with the Pod’s elite biometric tracking technology, this base can elevate your head when the snooze gets a little too noisy.
34% more deep sleep thanks to the Pod Cover is great, but not when those around you have to hear your snores. With this update in snoring mitigation, Eight Sleep is providing the ultimate sleep environment for both you and your partner.
But that’s not all Eight Sleep is maxing out.
2. Twice the Cooling Power
Fans of Eight Sleep will be very familiar with its game-changing ability to automatically cool or heat your bed environment based on your personal sleep data and optimal sleep conditions. The Pod gives you a personal sleep steward in the form of Autopilot, adjusting your environment to perfect the sleep experience, and the result is maximum comfort and maximum rest.
With Pod 4, Autopilot has even more to work with. Eight Sleep works by pumping water from a Hub through a grid built into the cover, and Pod 4 features a complete redesign of both that allows for double the cooling power of the Pod. Eight Sleep can now maintain temperatures up to 20°F lower than the bedroom, which is key for full sleep optimization.
3. Offers Adjustable Sleeping Positions
Eight Sleep isn’t stopping at providing the ultimate sleep environment. They’re also providing the ultimate chill environment, study environment, binge-watching Game of Thrones environment… all thanks to the customizable, adjustable Base that comes with the Pod 4 Ultra.
This feature is perfect for those who like to read or watch TV before bed and don’t want to stack 50 pillows behind their head. But it’s also perfect for getting that, well, perfect sleeping position with maximum comfort.
4. Bonus Features
A common complaint previous Eight Sleep users had was having to pull out their phones at night to make temperature adjustments, interrupting their zen den of controlled temperature with a blast of blue light that frequently led to more doom scrolling. Not anymore. Both the Pod 4 and Pod 4 Ultra now feature manual zones on either side of the Pod to control the temperature (and, for the Ultra, elevation).
All this new power has these upgraded Pods absolutely humming… but quietly, of course. Stable at 30dB, the Pod’s new design allows for an incredibly quiet performance that’s 40% quieter than its predecessor. You can hardly hear this thing, so you hardly notice it’s there…
But now you can hardly feel it, too. The new contouring design makes the Pod Cover 20% thinner, more dynamic, and more comfortable. The technology is virtually imperceptible and makes no impact on the current feeling of your mattress. Eight Sleep makes sure the only thing you’re feeling with the Pod 4 is that refreshing, invigorating energy from upgraded sleep. We’re officially impressed.
5. The World’s Smartest Bed Got Smarter
Eight Sleep’s AI solution to optimal sleep, Autopilot 3.0, has been trained on over 1.2 million hours of sleep. It’s now hyper-personalized and responsive, updating the Pod temperature every single minute to maximize time spent in deep and REM sleep. On top of that, the biotracking technology has gotten good enough to be considered clinical-grade, tested against gold standards as 99% accurate.
Of course, both the Pod 4 and Pod 4 Ultra feature everything iconic that Eight Sleep currently offers, like the signature Gentle-Rise Alarm that silently wakes you up with chest-level vibration and gradual warming, Sleep & Health Reports, and Dual Climate Control.
The result is a bed so incredibly smart that it can lower your resting heart rate, provide 32% higher quality sleep, reduce snoring by up to 32%, and much, much more.
The Pod Was Already the Rolls Royce of Sleep. The Pod 4 and Pod 4 Ultra Make It Feel Like a Spaceship.
With results this clinically-backed and features this technologically advanced… we think Eight Sleep has definitely earned the description of “life-changing.” For the first time ever, you can maximize every aspect of your sleep routine at the press of a button.
Once again, these systems are definitely an investment, but honestly with these insane upgrades we expected them to cost more than they do. It’s worth mentioning that you can get the Pod 4 ($2,499) and Pod 4 Ultra ($3,999) for $0 down followed by interest-free installments. Eight Sleep also offers free shipping and a 30-night, risk-free trial if you’d like to try it out.
