What is an Eight Sleep Pod cover?
An Eight Sleep Pod is a cover you put on top of your existing mattress. It comes with a Hub, which resembles a modem. The Hub houses a quad-core CPU and water reservoir to help provide temperature regulation. There are three versions: The Pod 3, Pod 4 and Pod 4 Ultra, which comes with a cover, hub and base. Each features discreet sensors that are also capable of processing complex biometric data for highly accurate sleep tracking.
It's important to note that purchasing an Eight Sleep Pod cover requires a subscription to Eight Sleep's Autopilot. This is essential in order to access the Pod's core features, such as snoring detection and automatic temperature regulation. Plans start at $17 per month and are billed annually. Up to two people can be on an Autopilot plan.
Which Eight Sleep mattress cover should you choose?
All three models in the Pod mattress cover range are excellent products capable of providing outstanding temperature regulation and sleep tracking. The three models share many of the same smart features and we’ll elaborate on those in the next section.
While all three Pods contain cooling features, if you’re the type of person who gets particularly hot during the night, we’d recommend going for either the Pod 4 or the Pod 4 Ultra, since they contain twice the amount of cooling power as the older, cheaper Pod 3. The two newer models are 40% quieter than the Pod 3, making them a good choice for people who are troubled by nocturnal noise, and they can also be controlled without a smartphone, which might appeal to the technophobes out there.
Since the Pod 4 Ultra comes with a base and custom elevation, it’s a great option for back or neck pain sufferers as you to set the sleeping angle to suit your requirements. And it’s particularly good for people who snore, too, as it’ll automatically elevate your head area when you start grunting and growling – enabling you to return to peaceful slumber without waking up.

Eight Sleep Pod 3
The Pod 3 is Eight Sleep’s cheapest mattress cover - but we use that term loosely. It boasts an impressive range of smart features to boost your sleep and improve your overall health, including automatic temperature regulation, dual climate control (perfect for couples with different sleep needs), vibration and thermal alarm, sleep and health reports. Plus, snoring detection , clinical-grade sleep and health tracking.
While its two stablemates take things up a level in terms of cooling, quietness and overall comfort, if you have a strict budget to adhere to then the Pod 3 is an absolutely top choice.
2. Eight Sleep Pod 4
Brilliant though the Pod 3 is, if you have a little more money to play with, it might be worth upgrading to the Pod 4. This new for 2024 model packs all the same benefits as its predecessor, but adds in a number of extra features that could make a real difference to your sleep. Most notably, it offers twice the cooling power, making it an even better choice for very hot sleepers.
In addition to this, the Pod 4 is thinner and more dynamic than the Pod 3, meaning the comfort and feeling of the mattress underneath will be better maintained. It’s quieter, ensuring you’ll sleep more peacefully. And you don’t need a smartphone to control it, which makes it perfect for those who aren’t keen on too much technology or prefer not to sleep too closely to their handset.
3. Eight Sleep Pod 4 Ultra
Sitting pretty at the top of the Pod range, the Pod 4 Ultra offers all the same features as the Pod 4, but is also packaged with a smart base that can be custom elevated to suit your favoured sleeping, relaxing and reading positions. This makes it an ideal choice for people who suffer from back, neck and spinal problems.
Another useful benefit with the Pod 4 Ultra is snoring mitigation. If you start snoring in the middle of the night, the bed will automatically raise itself in the head area to bring you back to a peaceful sleep – great news for you and your partner.

Do I need an Eight Sleep mattress promo code or coupon?
No, all you need to do is choose which Eight Sleep mattress Pod you want and then go to checkout – the discount will be applied automatically when you pay. That said, there is an option to add a third-party discount code if you can find one – just be aware that discounts cannot be stacked, so if you apply a third-party one, the official Eight Sleep discount will be removed.
Can I return an Eight Sleep mattress Pod?
When it comes to buying a sleep product, you obviously want it to be right for your individual needs – especially when you’re spending so much money on it. Most companies recognise this by offering a sympathetic returns policy, and Eight Sleep is no exception. If you’re not getting on very well with your Pod, you have 30 days from the time of delivery to claim a full refund on the product and any membership purchases you’ve made. Considering some mattress companies offer a trial period of up to 365 days, Eight Sleep’s offering isn’t particularly generous – but it’s better than nothing.
