I’ve Tried Nasal Strips, Sleeping on My Side, Cutting Back on Alcohol, and More.
But, in the end, nothing seemed to help my snoring problem. My wife was damn near about to kill me and was begging me to go on a CPAP machine. But look. I’m just not ready to go full Darth Vader every night when I go to sleep.
So when I saw that Eight Sleep, the “intelligent bed” brand revered by the world’s most famous CEOs and podcast hosts alike, dropped a new temperature-regulating mattress cover that can detect, track, and stop snoring altogether… I was over the moon. (My wallet was not so happy, but making this purchase was 100% worth the splurge. More on that later.)
The Pod 4 Ultra—aka my new rocketship of a “intelligent bed” that does way more than just keep me from snoring—has turned out to be the one thing that could finally fix my snoring problem for good, and the method it uses is so simple it’s almost hard to believe. There’s no beating around the bush, I paid $3,999 for this thing.
But for something that’s clinically proven to improve sleep by 32%, increase daytime energy by 34%, and reduce snoring up to 45%… I will pay damn near any price. It’s like an unlimited return on investment. Let me explain…
The Origin Story of My Anti-Snoring Superhero, Eight Sleep
I’ve had my eye on Eight Sleep for a few years. They’re famous for their intelligent sleep system that gives you up to one more hour of sleep each night, thanks to an ingenious technology that heats and cools your bed automatically, utilizing clinical-grade health and sleep tracking. Since launching in 2014, they’ve completely blown up and have been racking up the press, accolades, and a high-achieving user base.
Eight Sleep won the 2021 Men’s Health Sleep Award, was named one of TIME’s Best Inventions of 2019, and was called the “mattress of the future” by Newsweek. One guy even got the product tatted on his arm. I mean, people LOVE this thing.
The OG technology in Eight Sleep’s Pod Cover offered groundbreaking features like automatic temperature regulation from 55°F to 110°F on dual zones, biometric tracking, and a gentle-rise alarm. But the latest Pod 4 Ultra has taken Eight Sleep to a whole new level. It’s not an overstatement to say it’s changed my life, and not just because of the snoring.
So Here’s How This “Intelligent Bed” Actually Fights Snoring and Levels Up Sleep
Like I said before, the Pod 4 Ultra wasn’t cheap. But I picked the option to pay in interest-free installments, so it wasn’t so bad right up front. When the product came, all I had to do was slide the adjustable base under my mattress, pop the mattress cover on, fill the wifi-connected water tank, and sync up to the accompanying Eight Sleep app.
Then, it goes to work dynamically heating and cooling each side of our bed to the ideal temperature for both my wife’s and my body temperature as we sleep using clinical-grade sensors for our body temperature, heart rate, tosses & turns, etc. The new design on the Pod 4 even has double the cooling power of previous generations.
And the snoring? Well, first the app uses its elite tracking technology to detect when I start honking like a goose, and then the adjustable base automatically raises my head position, putting my body in the best position to get as much air in as possible. And voilá. It’s that easy. My wife hasn’t been woken up from my snoring once since we got Eight Sleep, and I can even see biometric proof in the app of sound sleep, no snores to be heard.
It’s Like Sleeping on a Magic Carpet. It’s a Whole New World.
Apparently, sleeping at a slight incline has been shown to reduce back pain, improve blood circulation, and prevent swelling. Eight Sleep even automatically elevates me based on whether I’m snoring or how well I’m sleeping, for added benefit. Add in the temperature regulation for optimized sleep, and it’s like I’m hitting the refresh button on my body every single night.
Through years of research, Eight Sleep has clearly found the golden ticket for the best, most optimal sleep environment possible—and let me tell you: I can feel it. Snoring aside, I’ve never felt so energetic in my life, and I can see proof in the app of the longer deep sleep and fewer tosses & turns that are giving me back that energy.
Eight Sleep also comes with some bonuses that are too great not to mention. The custom elevation allows us to read or watch TV before bed without having to stack 50 pillows. There are all-new manual zones to control temperature and elevation, so I don’t have to pull out my phone to make adjustments. This new model is 40% quieter, 20% thinner, and more comfortable than its predecessors.
The result is a bed so intelligent that it lowered my resting heart rate, gave me 32% higher quality sleep, and basically made my snoring non-existent. So yeah. I’d say the price was more than worth it.
No Wonder the World’s Smartest People Are Obsessed With Eight Sleep…
Investing in this groundbreaking mattress cover didn’t just fix my snoring problem, it feels like it gave my entire body a software update. I think Eight Sleep has earned the description of “life-changing…” (and not just for my wife who doesn’t have to put up with my snoring anymore).
It’s worth mentioning that you can get the new model without the custom elevation, the Pod 4 ($2,499), and the Pod 4 Ultra ($3,999) for $0 down followed by interest-free installments, which is what I opted for. They also offer free shipping and a 30-night, risk-free trial if you’d like to try it out first.
Eight Sleep Is Giving More Than Just Z's.
Come for the snoring mitigation. Stay for the elite, clinically-backed environment for optimal sleep.
