Not a huge saving, but one of the biggest you’ve seen from this leading sleep tech brand.

There’s a reason they are a brand connected with the likes of Andrew Huberman andElon Musk.

You must expect a price tag to match its reputation.

It is also the middle model in Eight Sleep’s current smart bed suite.

Where Eight Sleep can rack up the cost, though, is with extras.

Setup

We recommend setting about an hour aside to set up the Eight Sleep pod.

The hub is delivered in a separate box and is light enough to easily carry.

This tube is attached to the Hub, which fitted neatly between the bedframe and our other bedroom furniture.

Connectivity

The pod must be connected to WiFi andBluetooth.
