Club Benefits
Menopause symptoms can begin sooner than people expect. By the time women are in their mid-30's, more than half of them will have experienced hot flashes, with the numbers only rising as they age. This can make for some uncomfortable nights spent tossing and turning in a bed that doesn't adjust to your temperature.
If you're one of the majority of women who have experienced issues like this, you know the havoc it can wreak on your sleep schedule. Luckily, The Pod by Eight Sleep tackles those issues directly. With AI-driven temperature control, eight out of ten women felt relief within just ten minutes of activating Hot Flash Mode on The Pod. For too long, women's sleep health has been overlooked, but Eight Sleep is here to deliver the sleep you need and the comfort you deserve. By 2030, 14% of the global population will be menopausal, and about 80% of them will experience hot flashes. That's solidly over a billion people. Isn't it time someone made their sleep a priority?
The hardware
First, let's get one thing out of the way: The Pod isn't a mattress. If you love your comfortable bed, you don't have to get rid of it. The Pod enhances your sleep experience while being incredibly easy to install. The Pod is primarily made up of two components: the Cover and the Hub.
The Cover goes over your mattress, similar to a fitted sheet. From there, it can cool your bed to 55 degrees or warm it up to 110 degrees, depending on your needs. Each side of the bed has its own zone, so you don't need to worry about your partner. Their sleep is just as customizable as yours is. If you're starting to doze off and find you're too hot, there's no need to endure the bright light from your phone. You can adjust the temperature with the tap of a button on your side of the bed.
Meanwhile, the Hub goes next to your bed or nightstand and powers the entire Pod ecosystem. It contains reservoirs, a pump and a thermal engine that sends water through the Cover. It's virtually silent, so you can sleep soundly. You can add further accessories to the system, like an adjustable base or a cooling pillow cover, but the only things you truly need are the Cover and the Hub.
The comfort
You could just set up The Pod and let it keep you cool all night, sure, but sometimes you need a little extra boost. With the AI-driven Autopilot feature, The Pod can further personalize your sleep by making real-time adjustments based on factors like your heart rate, sleep stages and environment.
Autopilot is good for anyone who wants a more comfortable night's rest, with an up to 34% increase in deep sleep thanks to its automatic temperature adjustments. But the Hot Flash Mode is the key for those billion-plus people I mentioned earlier. It's very simple to activate: If you feel a hot flash coming on, turn on Hot Flash Mode by tapping the side of The Pod or using the Eight Sleep app. The Pod goes into action, cooling the Cover below your set baseline.
This boost of cool hydropower can last up to 30 minutes and, once the flash has passed, The Pod goes back to its normal sleeping temperature. With the two zones, this extra dose of cool will stay confined to your side of the bed so your partner won't wake up with their teeth chattering.
The difference this can make is really remarkable. In a two-week study of menopausal women, 80% felt hot flash relief within 10 minutes using Hot Flash Mode, and 75% of users reported Hot Flash Mode worked better than other nighttime cooling methods. Using the Pod reduced nighttime hot flashes by 56% on average. This is a non-medical solution that provides a ton of relief and can bring balance back to your life. Whether you love it hot or cold, The Pod is designed for deep sleep.
