Sleep; it’s important. Most of us don’t get much of it and those of us who do are a few of the lucky ones. According to NSF’s 2020 poll, over 33% of adults don’t get enough sleep and experience daytime sleepiness for at least half the week, sometimes more.

In our fast-paced, tech-driven world, the weight of dreaming about hustling and achieving greatness often casts a shadow on the very ability to envision and pursue those possibilities due to the lack of quality sleep. It’s ironic, I know.

However, EightSleep, a company that stands at the forefront of sleep transformation, explores the timeless pursuit of a good night’s rest by having comfort meet innovation.

What is EightSleep?

Eight Sleep is the first sleep fitness company. It’s dedicated to enhancing sleep quality by leveraging innovation, technology, and personal biometrics to restore individuals to their peak energy levels each morning.

EightSleep has rapidly gained recognition for its unique approach to sleep optimization. The company believes it’s time to change the conversation about sleep entirely. Sleep should be given the same priority, measurement, and attention as nutrition and exercise.

EightSleep symbolizes how our modern lives are increasingly intertwined with innovative solutions to age-old problems, such as achieving better sleep.

Product Features

8sleep offers a range of products, but its flagship product is the "Pod 3 Cover" mattress. Below, I'll delve into the standout features that set 8sleep apart in the world of sleep technology.

Pod 3 Cover

The Pod 3, the latest generation of Eight Sleep's Pod, combines dynamic cooling technology with biometric tracking to deliver your ultimate sleep experience. Here’s what the Pod provides:

1. Temperature Control: The Pod 3's Temperature Autopilot spans from 55°F to 110°F, enabling independent temperature adjustments for you and your sleep partner, making it a game-changer for couples with varying temperature preferences.

2. Thermo & Vibration Alarm: Instead of waking up to a jarring alarm, the Pod can gently raise your temperature to wake you up naturally. The Pod’s proprietary GentleRise alarm silently wakes you up with chest-level vibration as well. This promotes a more peaceful and less abrupt start to your day.

3. Partner-Friendly: The mattress is designed with motion isolation, so you won't be disturbed by your partner's movements during the night. This ensures a more restful sleep for both individuals.

4. Comfort: Beyond its tech features, the Pod 3 cover is praised for its comfort. It features five layers of foam, providing the perfect balance of support and plushness.
