This Cooling Bed Is *Apparently* So Life-Changing That Someone Got a Tattoo of It… Obviously, I Had to Try It.

This Guy Was So Desperate For an Eight Sleep, He Offered to Get Tatted Up In Exchange For One. 

I’ve seen a lot of tattoos with meaning. Lost family members, impactful quotes, core memories… all valid reasons for permanently inking your skin. But to get a tattoo to commemorate the bed you sleep on? 

My guy Josh heard that Eight Sleep changes its users’ lives, and wanted one so bad that he etched an unerasable ad on his skin. I guess that’s good marketing for Eight Sleep… but I’m over here wondering: how can the bed you sleep on be that life-changing? It’s not like this was a drunk mistake in Mexico. This man outwardly and willingly got the tattoo and then boasted about it. 

After seeing Josh’s tweet, I did a little research on this temperature-regulating mattress cover and ended up down a rabbit hole of the endless stream of praises, celebrity endorsements, awards, and 5-star reviews for Eight Sleep. Now I’m thinking: holy sh*t. I might have to try this thing out…

Eight Sleep: Revolutionizing the Sleep Industry

I mean, look—if you’re able to get even Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg to agree on how well your product works, you’ve gotta be up to something special. 

Eight Sleep has been specializing in “smart mattresses” 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 wave. In this study, Eight Sleep was proven to improve sleep quality by 32% and increase deep sleep by 34%. 

The technology monitors your biometrics and uses the data in real time to adjust the temperature of your bed, ensuring the perfect sleep environment for your body at any given moment. The result? Sleep so good… you’ll permanently alter your skin for it. 

So How Does This “Life-Changing” Tech Even Work?

Eight Sleep offers a risk-free trial for 30 nights, so I said screw it and ordered one. (I was far too impressed not to.) When it arrived, all I had to do was pop it on my mattress like a bedsheet, download the accompanying app to connect, and fill the WiFi-enabled Hub with water. 

Right from the jump, I had instant access to features like temperature control, a gently vibrating bed alarm, and sleep data tracking via the app. I’ve tried other sleep trackers before that told me how sh*tty my sleep was, but this thing promised to actually do something about it. 

And after a few weeks of sleeping on the Eight Sleep… let’s just say I’m prepared to get an Eight Sleep tattoo myself at this point. By regulating my bed’s temperature in response to my own body’s temperature fluctuations, Eight Sleep has helped me fall asleep easier, stay asleep for longer, and get better and more restorative sleep the entire time. 

Oh yeah, and then it proves it with sleep data: 

But That’s Not All That Makes Eight Sleep Tattoo Worthy…

If you had told me last year that I’d drop $2,000+ on a mattress cover because I saw some tech bro on Twitter get a tattoo of it… I would’ve laughed in your face. Now I’m laughing my way to waking up completely refreshed, rested, and ready to go every single morning. There’s truly nothing better than that. 

On top of better sleep, this mattress cover has some other features that solidify my understanding of all its hype. The gentle rise alarm I mentioned earlier warms up my bed around wake-up time, and I don’t need to go into detail about how great it is to wake up in a warm bed, gently rocked into consciousness. 

It also has dual-temperature zones, so my girlfriend can keep her arctic iceberg afloat on her side of the bed when she stays over while I stay nice and toasty on my side. (It ranges from 55°F to 110°F, so it has a setting for everybody.)

Josh Might Regret That Tattoo Some Day… But I’ll Never Regret Buying This Eight Sleep.

The Māori people say that tattoos are vehicles for storing one’s “spiritual being” in the afterlife. If that’s true, at least Josh will be able to sleep well when he gets there.

In all seriousness, I fully understand how this Eight Sleep inspired him enough to ink it on his skin. With results this glaringly obvious that make you feel 110% in every aspect of life, Eight Sleep has definitely earned the description of “life-changing.” Do I recommend the tattoo? Eh. Do I recommend trying this sleep-revolutionizing experience for yourself? Absolutely. 

Head to Eight Sleep’s website and see what it’s like to sleep with a science-backed, temperature-regulating mattress cover. Trust me, you don’t know what you’re missing.
