Eight Sleep focuses on enhancing sleep quality through its main product, The Pod, which is a bed accessory that allows users to control the temperature on each side of the bed. Users can set temperatures between 55°F and 110°F to match their personal comfort levels. In addition to temperature control, The Pod tracks sleep patterns and provides insights into sleep quality and health trends. It also includes features like a gentle vibration and thermal alarm to wake users up softly. Eight Sleep differentiates itself from competitors by offering a direct-to-consumer sales model with flexible payment options and a risk-free 30-night trial, making it easier for customers to try the product. The goal of Eight Sleep is to help individuals improve their sleep quality and overall wellness.
