One of our most-requested features to date has been a way to control the Pod without relying on a phone, and in turn, reducing nighttime screen exposure. To solve this problem, we designed an innovative solution leveraging the Cover’s sensing technology: Tap to Control. Available with Pod 4, Tap to Control features two distinct tap zones, one on each side of the Pod, so you can control the temperature, Base elevation, and alarm without ever moving from the bed. Here’s how we did it.  Our inspiration for Tap to Control It’s no secret that screen time at night negatively impacts the quality ..read more

The Pod is an intelligent sleep system that can be added to any bed. It integrates a network of sensors that continuously monitor vital sleep metrics, including heart rate, breathing rate, heart rate variability (HRV), sleep and wake times, and sleep stages. These data are analyzed by sophisticated algorithms to accurately track your sleep patterns. Central to the Pod’s technology is Autopilot, the intelligence behind that Pod, which uses these algorithms to personalize your sleeping environment. One crucial component is our sleep staging algorithm, which assesses your sleep stage every minute ..read more

The new Pod 4 boasts fresh features that meet you where you’re at in your sleep journey, starting with a fully redesigned technology inside the Cover. What’s inside the Cover in Pod 4? While from the outside you may see just fabric that wraps around your mattress, the Cover in Pod 4 is packed with proprietary sensing and temperature-regulating technologies that were specifically developed to achieve the highest levels of accuracy, performance, and comfort.  These layers of technology inside the Cover are what we define as the Thermal Core. It includes two main parts: a system of soft tub ..read more

In building Pod 4, we made several innovations directly to the heart of the Pod – the Hub. From a quieter design and faster cooling process to swapping the color and fabric of the Hub for a sleeker aesthetic, Pod 4’s Hub has undergone major upgrades to provide an even better sleeping environment for members. What is the Hub? The Hub is the central system of the Pod that holds water for cooling and heating. To adjust the Cover’s temperature, it uses a thermal engine and cooling fans to cool and heat water as needed before dispersing it through the Cover’s tubing. It also hosts the connectivity ..read more

Many people struggle to sleep due to snoring, whether it be their own or their partners. While it’s obvious that loud snoring can be extremely disruptive to a good night’s sleep, snoring has also been linked to anything from sleep apnea to the common cold. We’ve launched a revolutionary new feature with Pod 4 to combat the negative impacts of snoring on sleep fitness.  Track your daily snoring patterns with snoring detection  We leveraged Autopilot’s intelligence to detect — with 93 percent accuracy — snoring as it happens.  Before being able to effectively stop snoring, we’d fi ..read more

A good night’s sleep is crucial for maintaining health, emotional well-being, and overall wellness. Our prior studies have demonstrated that sleeping on the Eight Sleep Pod can improve deep sleep, total sleep time (TST), overall sleep quality, and cardiovascular recovery (ref, ref). Our latest research reveals an additional benefit of the Pod: it also enhances cognitive function. Overall, we found that after subjects slept on the Pod for 2 nights, they experienced: 8% increase in processing speed 9% increase in short-term memory recall speed 13% increase in executive function What are ..read more
