# Eight Sleep Pod 5 (Cover)

> Eight Sleep's Pod 5 turns an existing mattress into a dual-zone, water-cooled and heated sleep system that also tracks sleep and health signals without a wearable. It is aimed at hot sleepers, couples with different temperature preferences, athletes, and people dealing with night sweats, but its $2,999 hardware price, required first-year Autopilot plan, cloud dependence, and ongoing ownership costs make it a considered purchase rather than a universal bedroom upgrade.

- **Created by:** Eight Sleep
- **Launched:** 2025
- **Platforms:** hardware, ios, android, cloud
- **Pricing:** Paid. The U.S. product page listed Pod 5 hardware at $2,999 on 2026-08-20. Autopilot is required for the first 12 months and is billed annually: Standard $199, Enhanced $299, or Elite $399. Snoring detection is available through the Cover, while active mitigation requires a compatible adjustable Base. The displayed Enhanced first-year total was $3,298 before tax. Pricing, promotions, sizes, and regional availability can change. Eight Sleep offers a 30-night trial with free returns; the 5-year warranty is tied to an eligible active plan, while basic warranty terms vary by purchase and plan.
- **Key features:** Independent dual-zone climate, Automatic overnight adjustments, Wearable-free sleep tracking, Vibration and thermal alarms, Physical bedside controls

## Features

- **Independent dual-zone climate** — Each side of the bed can be heated or cooled separately between 55°F and 110°F, making the core product especially relevant to couples with opposing temperature preferences.
- **Automatic overnight adjustments** — Autopilot learns preferences and uses sleep stage, biometric, and environmental signals to change temperature during the night.
- **Wearable-free sleep tracking** — Sensors in the cover estimate sleep duration and stages, resting heart rate, HRV, respiratory rate, and snoring for up to two sleepers.
- **Vibration and thermal alarms** — Each sleeper can wake through localized vibration or a temperature change rather than an audible alarm.
- **Physical bedside controls** — Pod 5 adds three buttons per side for warmer, cooler, and configurable alarm control, with localized vibration feedback.
- **Fits an existing mattress** — The cover installs over a compatible existing mattress, avoiding the need to replace the mattress itself.
- **Expandable ecosystem** — Optional Blanket, Pillow Cover, and Base components extend climate control, elevation, snore mitigation, and sound, depending on configuration.
