Can a smart bed actually hack your sleep? I put the $3,000 Eight Sleep Pod to the test
A reviewer tested the Eight Sleep Pod 6, a smart mattress cover designed to heat or cool each side of a bed independently. It could help couples with different temperature preferences sleep more comfortably, while also tracking sleep and offering alarms that use vibration and temperature.
The cover works with a hub that circulates water through tubes in the mattress cover, with settings ranging from 55°F to 110°F. Setup took the reviewer about two hours and involved connecting the hub to an app and filling it with water. The system also reports metrics such as heart rate, sleep stages and snoring, and estimates biological age; the reviewer’s app reading showed she was trending 1.7 years younger.
In short
- The Pod 6 heats or cools each side of the bed independently.
- Setup took about two hours and required filling the hub with water.
- It tracks sleep and provides a biological-age estimate.
