I need to sleep with the A/C blasting. No matter what I wear to bed (or don't wear), I always wake up sweaty and gross.
My wife, Kim, doesn't generate as much heat, but she fully supported me looking into other options. (She didn't want to hear me complain anymore.)
We found the Pod by Eight Sleep, a mattress that cools and heats to your perfect temperature. We were skeptical, but its features were incredible, almost out of a science fiction film:
- Automatic cooling and heating between 55-110°F
- Individual temperature for each side of the bed
- Sleep Tracking without any wearables
- Deep Sleep, REM, Heart Rate
- Sleep Tips, Meditation, and more
- 11" Mattress with 4 layers of Premium Foam
Our current mattress was memory foam, so on a hunch, I looked up to see how much heat they retain, and it turns out they can get hotter than regular mattresses. It was time to upgrade.
We ordered the king-size bed for our bedroom and read more reviews in the meantime. My wife kept finding article after article from places like Wired, Forbes, and TechCrunch, so we were excited.
We would also be able to return it after our first 100 nights if it didn't live up to our expectations.
When it arrived, testing it out, it was the perfect firmness. I thought I might miss the memory foam, but this was so much better. Kim was ready to nap, but we set up the Pod first.
Climbing into bed that night, Kim tried the smart temperature mode, that would adjust to her sleep phases, and I put it on -10, the coldest setting.
It was awesome. I was asleep in minutes.
Waking up, I wasn't sweaty for the first time in a long time, and my wife gently rose and stretched, exclaiming it was the best sleep she'd ever got.
For the next few weeks, we both utilized the App to find our ideal temperatures - the Pod automatically adjusts through the night and can even wake us up by gradually changing temperature.
As the seasons change, we'll still be able to regulate our temperatures. No more sticky summer nights.
This thing is an absolute game-changer. I knew going to sleep on the earlier side was better, but after a few weeks, the App recommended an ideal sleep situation for me. Whenever I got it right, I felt like I'd unlocked the most productive day of my life the next day, every time.
We were also able to finally turn off the A/C during the cooler months.
Even if you're already a skilled sleeper, the Pod by Eight Sleep is revolutionary for a consistent sleep schedule so you can optimize your energy levels.
If you're a light sleeper, this is a need. The Pod will adjust to your body for your optimal sleep experience, giving you the best sleep you've ever had in your entire life.
