This smart product has a whole range of superpowers, mainly focused around cooling and tracking, and the good news is that it can be added to your existing setup – which means if you’ve taken the time to find the best mattress for your sleep style, you don’t have to give it up. Instead of electric elements, the Pod 3 Cover uses water from a Nespresso machine-sized base unit, which means it has the power to both heat and cool. It goes several steps further than most of today’s best cooling mattresses – this isn’t just a case of switching between hot or cold depending on the season. Using the essential connected app, the Eight Sleep Pod 3 Cover can be set between 12C and up to a ridiculous 43C (or from 55F to 110F, for US sleepers). I didn’t need to go over the +4 warm option (on a dial that goes up to +10) even when it was -10C outside, so I’m not quite sure what kind of extreme situation would warrant use of the maximum temperature boost. But the choice is there, and I appreciate that. Even better is the fact the Eight Sleep cover is dual sided, so your partner doesn’t have to endure your preferences and can happily set their own. (Image credit: Future)Setting a bedtime on the Eight Sleep app means that the Pod 3 will start warming up from an hour beforehand, to make sure that your mattress is ready for you when you clamber in. Once you have set a favourite starting temperature, this feels like sinking into a warm, cosy bath every single night and can’t be underestimated as a true joy. Like all of the best mattress toppers, the Pod 3 fits over your existing mattress, but unlike those, as well as heating and cooling, it’s also taking aim at the best sleep trackers. Thanks to swathes of sensors, the Pod 3 Cover tracks not just your heart rate and tosses and turns, but how long you spend trying to drop off, how long you’re sleeping for, and even the time it takes you to drag yourself out of bed in the morning. And it really works. There’s nothing like an app attacking you with a 25% sleep rating as you drink your morning coffee after a night at the pub and a particularly early start. “Your heart rate dropped late. Some reasons could be eating or drinking alcohol closer to bed…” Thanks, Eight Sleep. I’m aware. (Image credit: Future)But the Pod 3 doesn’t just use this information to beat you smugly over the head the next day, it also uses its biometric sensors for its Autopilot function. This is a feature that means the cover changes the temperature on the fly to actively keep you asleep. Thanks to the base unit CPU being hooked up to Wi-Fi, the Pod 3 knows your location and real time temperature. It learns your preferences and then adjusts the temperature overnight to create your own personal microclimate. Different sleep stages require different temperatures, so the Pod 3 adjusts accordingly. There are a few key points to make on this. Autopilot is only available with a monthly Pro subscription, which costs $19 in the US and £14 in the UK. It’s also nigh-on vital if you don’t want to wake up baking in the middle of the night after falling asleep with your bed set to ‘toasty’.Further to that, the Pod 3 takes a full week to learn your temperature preferences. Quite honestly, this was relatively stressful period. There’s nothing relaxing about waking up in an inferno and having to scrabble around to find your phone to turn things down.However the change now that the Pod 3 has learned is remarkable. There’s still the odd night where things get too warm, but I can see full nights with no wakeups. The app shows you on your sleep graph where changes were made and how many factors were taken into consideration for this small tweak. It took a little work but the Pod 3 now feels like a cosy revelation, and things have only improved over my extended review period. I’ve had days where I genuinely recognize feeling much better rested. Importantly, for all of the tech crammed in here, the Pod 3 Cover maintains the comfort of your mattress. In fact, the only problem is if you get into bed without it preheating in winter, the room temperature will have had an effect on how cool your mattress feels as it’s effectively laced with water. This was especially evident during my testing period, which has featured an especially cold winter in the UK. Given these recent temperatures I have only truly managed to appreciate the heating features of the Eight sleep, but the potential for summer cooling is evident. Temporarily switching to cold is a delightfully chilling experience that will clearly make sweltering summer nights far easier.

Originally, the company focused on selling it with a mattress, but all the tech was contained within the cover. You can still bundle in a mattress if you want, but I tested the cover with my own mattress and unless you’re feeling lazy, I’d probably encourage you to purchase a mattress separately, so you can focus on finding the right one for you. Eight Sleep Pod 3 Cover review: Price & value for moneyPrices from $1,895 / £2,345Monthly Pro subscription $19 / £14 per monthOccasional $100 / £100 deals – sometimes $250 / £250 off for Black FridayThere’s no denying it. For a piece of sleep tech the Eight Sleep Pod 3 cover is very expensive. However, there’s nothing really like it on the market. In the US, there’s the likes of Sleep Number and Sleepme’s Chilipad doing fairly similar things, but in the UK, it’s pretty unique. It might be far pricier than even the most luxurious of mattress toppers, and even some entire mattresses, but the active cooling / warming means you’re getting a very different experience here. Even though there are toppers that claim to have cooling powers, none of these are active. The Pod 3’s power to cool and warm at specific temperatures works exceptionally well to balance out your body temperature at any given moment. Layer in the smart tracking functionality and you can actually happily leave your Apple Watch charging on the nightstand, these biometrics have you covered. The Pod 3 was released in July 2022.
