The CNET Sleep team has long been checking mattresses, beds and sleep accessories, and eight sleep has always been a favorite choice of sheep. The latest generation of eight sleep AI -powered system is launched on Wednesday. As the previous models, eight sleep matters are sold separately.
Eight sleep pods 5 are enough investment. The basic model of a Queen size starts at 0 3,099, and it is all added ultra, 6,099. Depending on the plan you choose in the upper part, there is a monthly subscription fee for access to the high -tech features of the pod, depending on the plan you have chosen.
These are the new upgrades to the eight sleeping pod, which significantly affect the sleep fitness industry.
What is eight sleep pods?
The original eight sleep pods launched in February 2019, and each repetition has seen improvement in functionality, relief and stability. The basic function of eight sleep is to offer relief from the cover of the mattress that manages its temperature (both warm and cold). Through real time sensing and automatic adjustments, it helps to fall asleep by falling smart core slaps and organizing physical temperature overnight. This is a double -sided, so you and your partner can find personal settings.
How does it work?
Many brands claim their sleep products are cooling, but we are one of the few people who live until the hype. It works by pulling water from the linked center and circulating through a network of thin tubes inside the cover. Its heat and cooling capacity is impressive, the temperature is 55 to 110 degrees Fahrenheit. Pods have helped our own sleep and mattress experts find better sleep by sharing the bed, disagreeing with blanket battles and bedroom temperature.
The hub sits on the floor with your bed and connects to the mattress cover, pumps water through its tube system.
Health and sleep measurements
Eight sleep pods work more than keeping the temperature neutral at night. It has clinical grade sensors that are connected to the eight sleep app to provide a detailed sleep and health measurement report, which you can analyze your data, which the brand calls the auto -pilot. Statistics include your sleep (sleep time, sleep time, time waking up and sleeping phases), cardiovascular biometrics (heart rate, heart rate and respiratory rate) and scratch (sore times and intensity).
What is new with Pod 5?
Say goodbye to Pod 3 and 4, as these old models will not be available for purchase on the eight sleeping website. However, if you are pod 3 or 4 users, don’t worry. You can still use your current setup as usual and access the upgraded algorithm of the new Pod 5. If you want to upgrade your system, you will receive discount pricing by access to special member.
1. Hydro -driven blanket
In addition to the mattress cover, hub and base, the pod 5 now offers a hydro -powered blanket. Using a similar thin taps network, the blanket is connected to the bed to provide full heating and cooling coverage throughout your body, not under you. Our team is especially anxious to test and share their views about this new feature.
If you want to change your bed shape, the blanket can also be inserted into the Diet Core
2. The voice of the surrounding
In addition, the pod’s base is also new to the Integrated Sound Speaker System, which plays calm sound skaps with the intention of relaxing the nervous system. Elections include various white noise and meditation that were created in collaboration with Dr. Andrew Huberman, a neuro scientist and a professor at Stanford University. Through the eight sleeping app, you can control the sound and choose that if you want the audio to turn off, the pod senses are asleep or play overnight.
There is no Bluetooth contact option, so you can’t play your voices – the only what the app offers. We still have to decide whether this feature meets the same standard as our best white noise is in the list of machines and meditation apps.
3. Core control button
Another improvement with the fifth generation of eight sleeps is that there are buttons on the core side to control your pod settings. Pod 4 had a flat sensor area that you could tap to adjust, but many users found it difficult to tell what it was set on and what was changing without reference to the app.
There are three separate physical buttons on the sides of the pod 5 cover, so you know exactly what is changing when you press them. You can program the middle button through the app to overcome some settings, such as hitting snounds, stopping alarm or turning the audio on and off.
In addition to vibration and thermal alarm, you can now choose to wake up to some sounds. I already like the eight sleep alarm feature. Its softening vibration and warming sensation are much better than the pressing and disturbing phone alarm.
4. Adjustable base and scorchite reduction
Like the pod 4 ultra, the pod 5 base offers zero gravity height, when your head detects sores, it has to be slowly lifted. This adjusted base can be raised whenever you want, so you can lie in a more comfortable position while reading or improving your circulation.
So, make a picture of it: You programm your eight sleep bases to go straight to the place to read before bed. At your selection, comfortable audio, such as cracking fireplace, starts playing softly, which makes the background perfect noise. When you slip on the bed, the mattress cover and the blanket has already begun to warm. This is a comfortable setup to read and relax because your personal environment eventually puts you in peaceful sleep. If you prefer, the bed can return to its original position, and once the sensor detects that you are sleeping, the sound can be stopped.
The pod 5 ultra -adjustable base fits most of the bed frames and can be used itself with an optional leg cut of eight sleep. It is designed to fit 16 inches long mattresses.
5. Health test and auto pilot
Pod 5 detects and reports the biometrics and sleep information such as Pod 4, but now you now include better algorithms programmed to monitor cardiovascular and respiratory abnormalities (such as abnormal heartbeat, respiratory rate or heart rate). It sets information on a daily health test that is aimed at a health -related health solution. Since all this is monitored by the embedded sensor in the cover, you need to wear no tracking device. It is also said that the clinical grade electronic droograms matches the accuracy and performance.
The auto pilot uses a trained AI using about 10 million hours of sleep data to monitor and analyze your real -time sleep and health biometrics. It automatically adjusts to you to sleep overnight, review and evaluate your trends over time.
What is the price of pod 5?
You will pay a beautiful money for Pod 5, especially if you choose ultra. A Queen size pod 4 (hub and core) retail at $ 2,649, while the pod 5 core (hub and core) sits on 0 3,049 -400. Add A queen size pod 4 ultra (hub, core and base), retail in 4,699, while the pod 5 is ultra (hub, cover, blanket and base), 6,099-which is an increase of $ 1,400.
The pod 5 also comes in the medium -sized plus model, which is retail at 4,099 for the queen. It contains core, hubs and blankets, so you will double cooling and heating capabilities with a hydro -powered blanket. However, you do not have adjustable base, scratch or voice audio features.
To unlock all the features of the pod and auto pilot, you have to pay a monthly subscription fee. Here are three options: standard ($ 17 every month), better ($ 25 every month) and elite ($ 33 per month). Elite is a new rank that has been introduced by eight sleep, which needs to be accessed by the health check feature.
Like Pod 4, eight sleep will also offer pod 5 through a monthly rent program (only in the United States) for flat monthly fees. You can return your pod at any time and cancel. This program applies only to the basic model with cover and hub, not a pulse or ultra model.
Is eight sleeping pod 5 worth?
Caroline Ego, a CNET, the author of sleep and welfare, recently tested and compared Pod 3 and 4, which concluded that the upgrade was not worth extra cost. If you are new to eight sleep, you will have no choice but to buy pod 5, because old models are no longer for sale. Unless we test ourselves, we cannot say with sure whether we recommend upgrading your existing system to this new generation – but be compatible with our sleep team review.
For years, CNET’s sleeping team members have been examining and examining various models of eight sleep pods.
