With celebrity endorsements<\/span> from Elon Musk and Danny Green generating plenty of biohacking buzz, you may have heard of Eight Sleep\u2019s Pod 3 Cover<\/a>. It\u2019s a mattress cover that can heat or cool your bed to help you sleep better. You can tweak the temperature in the Eight Sleep app or have the autopilot mode adjust it automatically, and the Pod 3 can provide in-depth, accurate sleep tracking<\/a>.<\/p>\n

To unlock the smarts of this system, including autopilot and sleep tracking, you need an expensive subscription (from $15 per month), and that\u2019s on top of the astronomical asking price (from $2,045). The UK Super King cover I tested costs \u00a32,495 (around $3,175), which is far more than I could ever justify spending on a gadget like this. (The US equivalent is a Queen, roughly $2,145.)<\/p>\n

High prices and billionaire endorsements are a turn-off for me, so I approached the Eight Sleep Pod 3 with a healthy dose of skepticism. Turns out rich people have nice things. Closing in on a month with the Pod 3, I\u2019m a grudging convert. It is far too expensive, and I don\u2019t need another subscription in my life; not to mention there are some quirks I\u2019m not keen on. But my wife and I have both been sleeping better<\/a>, and that kind of trumps everything else.<\/p>\n

Make Your Bed<\/p>\n

The Eight Sleep Pod 3 is a thick mattress cover with a network of rubber tubing inside and a soft, plush black material on top. It is elasticized for a snug fit on your mattress, but I\u2019d advise enlisting some help to fit it. There\u2019s a sticker to ensure you put it on the right way around with the connectors at the top. The brushed fleece top is soft, and I found the cover very comfortable. It doesn\u2019t feel as though it\u2019s filled with tubes with sensors.<\/p>\n
