Eight Sleep’s latest innovation is here: The Pod 5. Like the company’s earlier versions of the Pod, it’s designed to improve your sleep through temperature adjustments, elevation control, and biometric tracking. But the Pod 5 brings AI-powered tech into the mix this time around for even more in-depth, real-time biometric sensing that can change the way you sleep.
The Pod 5 system’s four components work together to create an adaptive sleep experience, including the Pod cover (which goes on your mattress like a fitted sheet), blanket, base, and hub with a new integrated surround sound speaker that delivers noise-machine-like audio to calm your nervous system and encourage deeper sleep.
Each piece can be independently controlled using the Eight Sleep app. With the cover, you’ll have the ability to adjust the temperature of both sides of your bed from 55 degrees Fahrenheit to 110 degrees, and the blanket’s new hydro-powered design extends that temperature coverage to give you double the cooling and heating effects. The base, which can fit seamlessly on your bed frame or be used freestanding with the optional leg kit, is adjustable to elevate your head for more comfort. It can also sense when you snore and adjust itself in response.

The most advanced addition, though, is Eight Sleep’s new AI-powered coach called Health Check that can track your cardiovascular and respiratory health while you sleep — no wearable sleep tracker required. If the cover’s embedded sensors notice that your heart rate or breathing is trending in an abnormal direction, you’ll be alerted in the Eight Sleep app so that you can take preventive action.
The Pod 5 is available now on Eight Sleep’s website, and starts at $2,849 (free shipping included).
