As temperatures rise, hot sleepers know the struggle of waking up drenched in sweat and trying to cool off in the middle of the night. So, what are they to do?
Switching to lighter bedding can only do so much when you’re already unbearably hot. But there’s a better solution out there. If you follow the wellness news cycle or health influencers like Andrew Huberman, you might already be familiar with the brand Eight Sleep. I’ve tested numerous cooling sheets, cooling pillows, cooling comforters and cooling mattresses. Yet, none of those products come close to the icy feel of Eight Sleep.
I tried the Eight Sleep Pod 3 Cover for one month. It cooled me down and tracked my health vitals. Here’s how I concluded that the Eight Sleep Pod cover saved me more restful sleep.
What is the Eight Sleep Pod 3 cover?
Eight Sleep offers two models. The Pod 2 is the older model and the Pod 3 cover is the newest. This latest version includes a new design to increase the comfort. Eight Sleep sent me the Pod 3 to test, but this didn’t sway my opinion nor guarantee a review. These are my honest thoughts.
The Eight Sleep Pod is a temperature-controlled mattress cover that connects to a sleek tank of water beside the bed. Then, the cover’s embedded coils cycle water throughout the mattress. Based on your preferences inputted into Eight Sleep’s app, the Pod will automatically warm or cool your side. If you sleep with a partner, you may choose to have a warm half while they might have a cool side. The Pod warms and cools you throughout the night, mimicking the body’s natural temperature cycle so that you are at the right temperature for each sleep stage. The goal is to increase the time spent in deep or REM sleep.
The stand-out features of the Eight Sleep Pod 3 include:
- Individualized cooling and heating
- Thermal and vibrating alarm
- Health and sleep tracking
- Autopilot system that adjusts bed temperatures during the night
- User-friendly app
