Eight Sleep, the revolutionary brand behind one of the best smart mattresses on the market and the most popular innovations in sleep technology, the Pod mattress cover, has now introduced their latest product: a Pod Pillow Cover.

It is designed to work with your existing pillow to elevate the cooling and help you customize the temperature according to your sleep style and needs. However, it's only available alongside an Eight Sleep Pod mattress cover.

This makes it the ultimate crossover between bedding and intelligent temperature regulating technology, devised to help you sleep through the night without overheating, running cold or sweating. Let's take a closer look at the product specs...

Eight Sleep Pod Pillow Cover: standard/king from $1,049 from $999 at Eight Sleep
The Eight Sleep Pod Pillow Cover comes in two sizes, standard and king, and currently has up to $100 off as part of an introductory offer. This drops the price of a Pillow Cover double-pack in either size to $1,549 (was $1,649). Sleep benefits include a 30-night sleep trial, 2-year limited warranty and free shipping.

Eight Sleep Pod Pillow Cover: Price

Irrespective of the size you select (it's available in both standard and king), the MSRP of a single Eight Sleep Pod Pillow Cover is currently $1,049. A double pack, meanwhile, has an MSRP of $1,649. Both the single and double packs come with one additional hub.

Release date: October 2025
Sizes: Standard and king
Warranty: 2 years
Trial: 30 nights

It's undeniable that this is a premium investment. However, considering the superior build and tech used in making the cover, the price can't be compared to that of regular cotton or the slightly pricier silk pillow cases.

However, the biggest drawback is that the Pod Pillow Cover has to be used alongside your Eight Sleep Pod mattress cover. This is a compulsory requirement to qualify to buy the product. If you do not own one already, adding a Pod mattress cover will make it a pretty expensive purchase overall.

The good news is that you can now enjoy an introductory offer when buying the Pod Pillow Cover— a discount of $100 on double pack and $50 off a single pack.

As expected of the price point, it also comes with a package of benefits including a 30-night sleep trial, 2 year limited warranty (covering material defects and workmanship) and free shipping. The brand also adds that the warranty can be extended to 5 years if you have an active Autopilot Enhanced or Autopilot Elite membership.

Eight Sleep Pod Pillow Cover: Features

The Eight Sleep Pod Pillow Cover works on the same principle as the brand's mattress cover. It features water-based cooling and heating technology delivering personalized temperature regulation all night long.

You can fully control the temperature of the cover with a customizable range between 55°F to 110°F (13°C to 43°C). The Pod Pillow Cover is also designed to adapt to your sleep stages — keeping you up to 25°F (4°C) cooler, with the help of sensors in the Pod mattress cover (not the Pod Pillow Cover) in response to the real-time biometric signals of your sleep health.

This is also why the brand says that the Pod Pillow Cover has to be used in tandem with the Pod mattress cover. However, you control the Pillow Cover temperature independently to that of the Pod mattress cover, which means you could have a cool head and neck, while your body stays toasty (or even the other way around!).

The pillow cover in itself is crafted from lightweight material, and designed to fit seamlessly under your regular case, so you won't notice any bulky tech, wires or sensors which can potentially disrupt your sleep.

We also expect this to be stretchy enough to hold your pillow, as the brand underlines that it's designed to have a universal fit.

So, how does it work? Simply pop on the Eight Sleep Pod Pillow Cover on to your regular pillow and connect it to the separate hub included in the package. You can at this point also add your normal pillow case on top.

Just like using the Eight Sleep Pod mattress cover, you need access to the Eight Sleep app by which you can control the Pillow Cover's temperature according to your sleeping style.
