Eight Sleep: This AI Mattress Could Have You Sleeping Like a Baby
Eight Sleep, a ‘sleep fitness’ brand, has just landed in the UAE, promising to improve your bedtime routine and even help stop you snoring.
Did you know that an estimated 40% of UAE residents don’t get enough sleep?
A survey by Premier Inn Middle East, which examined the sleeping habits of more than 950 residents, revealed that many people here get fewer than six hours of sleep per night—considerably less than the recommended eight hours needed for proper recovery and healing.
If you’re part of that 40%, a new device on the market might help you catch up on your sleep. Eight Sleep is being touted as the world’s first ‘sleep fitness’ brand. Unlike wearable tech such as Whoop or Oura, which monitor your sleep patterns, Eight Sleep goes a step further. The company’s Pod 4 Ultra is a mattress cover that personalises your sleeping environment.
As with many modern product launches, the Pod 4 Ultra is powered by AI—and it’s impressively clever. The Pod regulates the temperature of your bed. If it’s hot outside, the Pod 4 can cool your bed by up to 20 degrees Celsius. Naturally, it works the other way around too—when it’s chilly, you can turn up the heat.
What makes it even more impressive is its dual-zone feature. If your partner prefers a cooler temperature, while you’re freezing even during a UAE summer, the Pod 4 caters to both preferences simultaneously, giving you the best of both worlds.
The mattress also tracks your sleep habits, which you can review through a companion app on your phone. Plus, it features controls on the side of the mattress cover, so there’s no need to reach for your phone once you’ve settled in for the night.
A Smart Investment in Sleep
While the Pod 4 Ultra is a premium product, it offers a level of sleep customisation that’s unmatched. The previous model, the Pod 3, is priced at over AED 10,000, with the latest Pod 4 starting at just over AED 11,000. For those seeking the ultimate sleep experience, the Pod 4 Ultra—which includes a mattress that adjusts your position for optimal comfort, provides the perfect angle for reading, and even helps reduce snoring—comes in at around AED 18,000.
Considering the advanced AI technology, personalised features, and tangible improvements in sleep quality, it’s an investment that could transform your nightly routine and elevate your overall well-being. After all, better sleep leads to better days, and Eight Sleep users have reported a 25% boost in sleep quality, 15% more deep and REM sleep, and increased daily energy levels.
If you’re ready to prioritise your sleep health, this could be the game-changer you’ve been looking for.
How do they know this? Eight Sleep has analysed over 500 million hours of sleep and conducted clinical studies involving more than 18,000 participants, covering 687,000 nights of data.
“Our Pod’s cooling technology is especially beneficial for regions like the UAE, where the summer heat can be intense,” says Matteo Franceschetti, co-founder and CEO of Eight Sleep. “While our product has helped hundreds of thousands of people around the world sleep better, the overwhelmingly positive feedback from users in warmer climates like Australia and southern Europe gives us confidence that the Pod’s cooling features are particularly well-suited for the UAE, all year round.”
