Eight Sleep's Labor Day sale is here, taking up to $100 off the price of an advanced cooling mattress Pod cover. Sure, this is a fairly conservative saving, especially when considering the Pod's premium tag. And while savings could increase slightly as we nudge closer to Labor Day itself, this might be as good as it gets.
The best mattresses of 2024 will all provide a cool and comfortable night's sleep, but an Eight Sleep Pod cover offers specialist temperature regulation to work in harmony alongside your existing bed, as well as advanced sleep tracking.

Below, we've rounded up three of the best Eight Sleep Pod deals to shop today.
Whether you're searching for a cooling cover or an entirely new bed, the Labor Day mattress sales are an excellent time to revamp your existing sleep set-up.

Eight Sleep's Labor Day mattress sale 2024: Top 3 deals
Eight Sleep Pod 3: Was from $2,195 now from $2,145 at Eight Sleep
The Pod 3 is Eight Sleep's entry level model, but it’s anything but basic. It's earned itself a spot in both our best smart bed guide and our best cooling mattress guides, thanks to its snoring detection and mitigation, automatic temperature regulation and accurate sleep tracking. Right now there's $50 off the Pod 3, which is fairly negligible but it’s better than nothing. It does means you can land a queen size cover for $2,245 instead of $2,295.
Eight Sleep Pod 4: was from $2,648 now from $2,598 at Eight Sleep
Released earlier this year, the Pod 4 has gone down a storm among people who’ve bought it, with this cooling topper scoring almost five stars from over 1,000 ratings. Eight Sleep state that the Pod 4 packs twice as much cooling as the Pod 3, plus it's quieter than the Pod 3 for not a great deal more money. There's $50 off, taking a queen down to $2,698 from $2,748.
Eight Sleep Pod 4 Ultra mattress: was from $4,049 now from $3,949 at Eight Sleep
The Pod 4 Ultra does everything the Pod 4 does, plus it adds an adjustable base to reduce pain. The Pod 4 Ultra is the only Pod within the range that offers snoring detection and 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. It is a pricey upgrade, but the Labor Day deal is taking $10 off every size. A queen is $4,148 from $4,248.
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.

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.
