After a full month of testing and hundreds of REM cycles, heres my full Eight Sleep review.
Eight Sleep
How I Tested
What Is the Eight Sleep Pod Cover?
TheEight Sleep Pod Coveristhe most tech-ed out mattress padyouve ever seen.
Eight Sleep
Eight Sleeps biggest differentiator is theAutopilotfeature on the Eight Sleep app, which drives the temperature adjustments mentioned above.
Heads up: All these awesome features come with a membership (dont they always?).
One half of the box holds the Pod, while the other holds the Pod cover.

Eight Sleep recommends allowingtwo hours for set-up, but most of that time isnt hands-on.
That said, youll want to do this a few hours before you actuallypop a melatoninand go to bed.
The first few nights of using the Eight Sleep system are trial and error.
The sleep stats on the app areeasy to view and understandwithout feeling like youre drowning in data.
Myone complaintabout thePod 3 Coveris that you have to use the phpone app for everything.
I also hated having to use my phone to turn the vibrating alarm off first thing in the morning.
In the end, it bothered me so much I ditched the vibrating alarm for mysunrise alarm clockinstead.
A tiny remote control would be a much better user experience to give us the best sleep possible.
I actually find myselfgoing to bedearlier and earlier, knowing the mattress is preheated for max coziness.
Your dreams of cool, uninterrupted sleep just may come true.
