Which Eight Sleep Pod should you buy?
At the heart of the Eight Sleep line-up is the Pod system, a combination of control hub and mattress cover that delivers active cooling and smart sleep tracking.
If sleeping hot is your primary concern, the cooling cover alone can provide the high tech solution you need. However, you can enhance the temperature regulation with the addition of the Eight Sleep Blanket.
Like the mattress cover, the Blanket delivers active cooling. It's synced to the cover to create an immersive temperature experience and twice the control. For very hot sleepers, or those who live in places with extreme weather conditions, consider the Pod and Blanket combination.
Unlike the Pod and Blanket the Eight Sleep Ultra Base doesn't offer any cooling. However, the adjustable smart base delivers head and foot elevation to minimize aches and pains. It can also detect and reduce snoring, raising the head of the bed to open airways whenever your breathing becomes noisy.
Finally, and regardless of what Eight Sleep set-up you choose, there's the Autopilot system. This connected app works alongside the hub to give you control over your temperature, as well as providing insights into your night's rest.
The Autopilot app is essential for using the Pod and is offered as a monthly or yearly subscription; remember to factor this in when you buy, because depending on your plan it will cost you between $199 and $399 per year.
While there are many components to the Eight Sleep system, one thing that isn't included is the mattress — you need to buy this separately.
Fortunately, should be compatible with any of our overall best mattress picks, for the ultimate comfort upgrade.
The latest iteration of the Eight Sleep Pod, the Pod 5, contains the cutting edge temperature control of its predecessors. The dual sided design allows both bed partners to turn the heat up or down, for the perfect sleep climate.
And the Eight Sleep doesn't start snoozing just because you've drifted off. Fitted with AI sensors, the Pod continuously monitors temperature throughout the night, making necessary adjustments to maintain your preferred feel.
In the morning these sensors, via the Autopilot app, provide an overview of your rest plus potential areas of improvement.
The Pod 5 can also be used alongside the Eight Sleep Base — first introduced with the Pod 4 — which offers head and feet elevation to relieve pressure on the body. The Base also contains an integrated speaker, featuring soundscapes, meditations and white noise, to help you drift off.
New with the Pod 5 is the addition of the Blanket. This optional extra is fitted with hydro-powered temperature control and works in-sync with the cover to create a "fully immersive thermal experience."
Do you need an Eight Sleep discount code?
In the Eight Sleep sales, you don't tend to need to add any discount codes or promo codes at checkout. Usually the discount is applied automatically at checkout.
Eight Sleep does sometimes offer additional discounts for signing up to the mailing list. If you're looking to maximize your saving, we recommend joining the list and looking out for promo codes.
Is Oura or Eight Sleep more accurate?
We rate the Oura Ring 4 the best sleep tracker on the market for its accuracy, non-invasive design, and rich features, including AI sleep coaching. It also provides a more holistic view of your health since you can wear it virtually 24/7.
If you prefer not to wear a device, the Eight Sleep Pod 5 features clinical-grade sensors that measure sleep stages, heart rate, HRV, and respiration. It uses that information to automatically adjust the temperature of your sleep surface and raise the adjustable base accordingly if you're snoring.
In our experience, both Oura and Eight Sleep provide accurate (if not totally perfect) sleep data; the right one for you will come down to what you personally want from a sleep tracker.
