Eight Sleep Pod 3 Review

Rating: 8.3
Verified
Buy Eight
The Eight Sleep Pod 3 Cover is a high-tech mattress cover designed to regulate temperature and improve sleep quality. Priced at around $2,245 in the U.S. and £2,195 in the U.K., it features a network of tubing that circulates heated or cooled water, adjustable via an app. The cover allows for separate temperature settings for each side of the bed, catering to partners with different preferences. Initial experiences were positive, with improved sleep quality and faster sleep onset, though effectiveness varied over time. The app provides comprehensive sleep data, showing significant improvements in deep sleep and REM stages. Drawbacks include its high price, the necessity of a subscription for full functionality, some technical issues with the Android app, base unit noise, and a cumbersome water refilling process. The reviewer rated the product 7/10, noting its potential benefits but also its high cost and subscription model as significant downsides.
