I was lucky enough to receive one free. The first few days were amazing. It was really cold. Then that coldness started to dissipate. Then the unit started to make a noise. A loud noice. The company replaced the unit - but the noice persisted. Meaning it was probably an issue with the mattress cover. In the end I stopped. The app was free also, and now you need a subscription.

Hey James. I've been using the eight sleep for 5 years now. The thing I hate the most about travel now, is I won't have an eight sleep while I'm away. Couple tips for you. Try using a one of the different temperature scales. -10 to 10 is 20 stops of temperature. The Celsius scale goes from 13c to 44c, or 31 stops of temperature. I'm Canadian, so I hate using fahrenheit, but that goes from 55f to 110f or 55 stops of temperature. I found with the 1-10 scale sometimes 1 unit the difference of too cold of too hot. Also, I learned a trick I love. Ever have a day where you just can not fall asleep. Your brain is chewing on an argument you had, or the stress of a situation you're dealing with. Well, my brain kinda does that every night in bed. So, I set my temperature to 55f (-10c) every single night. I get into bed, and after 5 or 10 minutes, I'm freezing. All my brain can think about is how cold I am. I go as long as I can stand, then I open the app and warm the bed to 75f - ish. (-2). Takes 3 or 4 minutes to start warming up, but it's like my brain can only focus on the extreme cold. Then suddenly I'm asleep because as it warms, my brain goes, "this is getting better..." and I fall asleep. When I first bought the Eight Sleep, my average time to fall asleep was as high as 2 hours. I'm down to an average of 15 minutes.
‘The first blood relative I’ve ever seen’ … blew me away (very nearly shed a man tear). Different circumstances but my children are my only relatives too. Congratulations. Enjoy every moment of it. One suggestion … have a couple … you’ll like at least one of them that way 😂😂😂 (joking, being a dad is absolutely the best thing ever)
Hey, just found your channel and was going back through some of your old videos. I love the way you do reviews. You aren’t paid off by the manufacturer to give a positive review. Respect because you could be making a lot of money that way. Instead, I subscribed because of your honesty. Keep up the good work.
I have night sweats that constantly wake me up. I've had a water-cooled mattress topper (Ooler) and it's changed my life. It didn't cost £2500 but i'd pay £10k for the difference it's made to my life.
Thank you for sharing an alternative. Nice to know there are other options for mattress coolers. I don’t need nor do I want an app to track sleep stats, just looking for a temperature change without having to make the rest of the family freeze at night.
Ooler was the OG they used to sponsor the Mindpump podcast. I bought the single bed one first then after a couple of years I gave it to my daughter and i bought a kingsized one. Deffo recomend getting one the same size as your bed otherwise it can move around under the cover. @@Dust4Vomit
41-year-old woman here.... hormones are a complex thing... the EightSleep has been game-changer for me. I didn't realise my body temperature was so complex until I got one of these. I don't realise how much I like it and how good it is until I sleep away from home and I am hot, then cold, then sweaty, then cold, then hot, then sweaty..... I'm autopilot: -1, -2, 0, +2, and very low vibration alarm (+ eye mask + mouth tape + sunrise alarm clock) Total dream! It took a few weeks to get the settings right and find the right way to use it, (a few noise issues at the start too but customer support was very helpful to sort!) now wouldn't be without it. I am impressed by your 47bpm and 87-101 HRV! wow. Great video! Congratulations on the baba!
CON: from now on, you will never sleep well in another bed without an 8sleep 😅 I’ve been using it for 4 years now and I love it, but my sleep during holidays is much worse!
If anyone wants to try a far cheaper alternative first, i recommend linen sheets. Far better for temperature regulation than cotton or the unbreathable hell that is polyester. I used to wake up from sweats every night but since switching to linen i havent had that problem once.
in a world where everyone is trying to sell me something, thank you James for being you, it’s refreshing to see how reluctant you are recommending this 😂
James. Love the honesty on the channel. Can you do a 1-3 minute one month or 3 month review stating your thoughts. This is the only honest video I’ve seen on the product but it does stretch the budget for sure! Love your work :) Good luck with the little one.
Congrats on the Bub man. Super happy for you. You’ll get along and you’ll know exactly why you’re here…you won’t experience love like it, or frustration haha
The cost will linger, until the company goes under and the app will no longer work. On the upside you won't have to pay the $15 a month, on the downside you'll be left with a $2500 mattress protector.
Breaking down all the marketing that’s shoved down our throats. There’s so much to consume these days and almost everything is branded “the award winning best thing that ever lived, that will change your life forever.” So it’s nice to have someone help us with our consumerism and realise we don’t need stuff and things to solve our life.
Just watched your video on calling out podcasts too. Became a Dad a couple of years ago myself. It's definitely as shit as people make it out to be in the first few months but the scales shift as they get bigger and a bit more interactive. Tip for you: make a list of films you've been meaning to watch or books you've been meaning to read; you'll be suprised how many you'll get through with the constant 3am feeds and cuddling back to sleep. Best of luck to you pal!
Loved the video. The line "you want me to sleep down stairs on just a mattress." had me laughing. We loved the one we were gifted so much we bought one for the downstairs. So you might be out of $4,000 pretty soon ha.
My exes have all complained that sleeping next to me was like sleeping next to a furnace. I'd love to have one of these, but I think forcing a subscription is asinine. Maybe I'll look at one of those under-sheet cold air blowers instead.
THANK YOU for calling all these jerks out - The internet is broken, and all these 'tech' companies need to shape up and be called out on these CRAP products that require subscriptions to work correctly.

Hey dude, the baby wont freeze in the temperature you sleep in. Babies dont sleep naked so you can put some clothes on him/her. In nordic countries babies sleep outside when it is actually freezing as in below zero.
I would absolutely not recommend this to other people coz this is such a great idea that no way competition won't come out with better priced products in the future. Hopefully they don't follow suit and software block your mattress cover with a subscription.
The idea that he finds being in a cold room and being warm under blankets mental is funny to me. I live in New England, and my best sleeps always come in the winter when I turn the heat down (just on enough so the pipes don't freeze) and break out the comforter.
You're entertaining informative and inspiring James thank you. But I can't agree with the recommendation of a 2,5k matress when we have our extremities that are little heat exchangers so if you need to cool down peak a cheeky extremity out of the duvet -- a foot, a hand maybe both hey -- and you'll get the required cooling. Having more devices that suck your mind out of your eye holes has its own downsides. And it looks like you would have gotten those great sleep scores anyway (good luck in July lol) proving that if you're already sleeping well this will make a minimum difference. And if you dont sleep well there are a pethora of free things you can try that should be tried before spending money. Do wanna emphasize though: thank you for the great and entertaining video.
Amazing tech. All I have to do now is wait for like 3 years until Xiaomi comes up with their own stuff at a third of the price, and definitely with a free app haha.
Here’s a question for you! How do you think using that nightly when you’re home will affect you when you travel? Would be interesting to see a follow up, say, after you spent a week away on holiday (not that you’ll be able to afford a holiday for years, between the baby costs, mattress purchase & subscriptions 😂) letting us know how your sleep was when you’re ‘deprived’ of the thermal regulation after becoming accustomed to having it.
I would do it if it was cheaper. For now if it’s not summer I have an electric blanket turn off after an hour at a modest temp to promote sleep from a drop in body temp.
Still feels so strange to see you on my TH-cam screen. Can’t believe you’ve become a TH-cam but if I’m being honest it does make sense. Congratulations on the upcoming baby James!
Great review! I immediately thought, well I bet it's cheaper heating the mattress than heating the whole room. And maybe cheaper in the summer to cool it down than using one of those portable A/C units, which I loathe. Not sure about all that, but if I'm wrong, I'll just stick with using a hot water bottle when going to sleep, and a fan in the summer. The app should be cheaper though. Any way to use it without the app? I don't need numbers, I'd just go by feel. But likely you have to use the app even to set it up.
I had the Pod for 2 weeks and found it to be somewhat uncomfortable because I like a cold room, but this felt lke something was jsut making my skin cold. As I adjusted it throughout the 2 weeks to get it to a comfortable level, I ended up bringing it to nearly a neutral temperature, which was where my mattress was in the first place. Because of the price, that slight marginal change wasn't worth it to me, and I began to wonder if everything is just a gimmick. Seeing this video adds to my suspicion that maybe I need to give it another try down the road, one more time.
I really like the idea of this, but if not the overall cost is what puts me off, it's the subscription. I'm so sick and tired of having a god damn subscription for everything even down to a fucking door bell!
thanks for this James, much appreciated. I have to admit I had never heard of a/this cooling mattress cover (seen ads for cooling BLANKETS, which is what I thought this was...). don't know what part of aussie you're in (assuming you're back in aussie) mate I struggle with the heat in Auckland (Aotearoa/New Zealand) - currently have 3 different fans going (one of them similar - cooling fan - add water). I might consider this one day - but the thought of water and electricity - sleeping on that combo, yeah not a fan of this concept. maybe next summer....
When your kid arrives, im curious for your tales of how you think and feel about the whole experience from birth to trying to get to grips with being a dad. After speaking to a number of fellow fathers the feelings of sheer inadequacy are quite common along us when it comes to providing for your kid in the early months, especially if they're breastfed. Its literally the best and worst thing a person can do. You'll hate it and question your life choices, but when you walk into the room and your kid smiles at you, it makes it all worth it.
Does it come with a lifetime warranty, especially if you have to pay a subscription? Sort of thing I can imagine going wrong after about 18 months and need a repair.
2 year warranty. They have two subscription models - expensive and very expensive. If you choose the very expensive one (and keep it) warranty is extended to 5 years (but you also end pay around 50% or more of the initial product price in subscription fee over the 5 years. I have the 8sleep Pod 3 cover with the very expensive subscription. I love the cover but hate the subscription model.
"Bellend, bollocks, wanker" - since I miss my years spent in the UK, I'm only here because of the accent and slang. :D Just kidding, loving the content and congrats on the upcoming BEBE project! Cheers, Xx
Honestly it sounds amazing but that prize tag and subscription are obviously made for people with above average income. I just looked it up and it's even more expensive in the EU. As good as it sounds I'm not going to pay a monthly fee for a mattress topper app.
Obviously Aussie land is different with different problems. In the UK my answer is Harrison mattresses. Cold side, warm side, natural and with no water pumping. And no subsrciption.
4k and then 30 a month for the app plus the energy bills, I’ll wait for the boys in Shanghai to knock this off first
lmao gonna use this phrase at some point; thank you for either coining it or using it
But apparently, the energy bills are offset by raising the aircon settings.
The $2500 USD mattress also requiring a subscription to an app is the definition of bullshit....
A good night sleep has so many benefits...... honestly priceless

Not sure about all that, but if I'm wrong, I'll just stick with using a hot water bottle when going to sleep, and a fan in the summer. The app should be cheaper though. Any way to use it without the app? I don't need numbers, I'd just go by feel. But likely you have to use the app even to set it up.
I had the Pod for 2 weeks and found it to be somewhat uncomfortable because I like a cold room, but this felt lke something was jsut making my skin cold. As I adjusted it throughout the 2 weeks to get it to a comfortable level, I ended up bringing it to nearly a neutral temperature, which was where my mattress was in the first place. Because of the price, that slight marginal change wasn't worth it to me, and I began to wonder if everything is just a gimmick. Seeing this video adds to my suspicion that maybe I need to give it another try down the road, one more time.
Really like this guy, I hope he is not ruined as time goes by
He's been the same for years and built his rep on being himself so can't see that happening
@@MB-uu7soThat's how things happen, you hear things from people you least expect. Nobody knows the future.
the biggest problem that it cools your bed and the same time warms ear in bedroom...
I really like the idea of this, but if not the overall cost is what puts me off, it's the subscription. I'm so sick and tired of having a god damn subscription for everything even down to a fucking door bell!
thanks for this James, much appreciated. I have to admit I had never heard of a/this cooling mattress cover (seen ads for cooling BLANKETS, which is what I thought this was...). don't know what part of aussie you're in (assuming you're back in aussie) mate I struggle with the heat in Auckland (Aotearoa/New Zealand) - currently have 3 different fans going (one of them similar - cooling fan - add water). I might consider this one day - but the thought of water and electricity - sleeping on that combo, yeah not a fan of this concept. maybe next summer....
Congratulations on your baby news!
Ugh, I hate that you love this. If it was a reasonable price and/or the app was free (AS IT SHOULD BE) then I'd actually buy it.
When your kid arrives, im curious for your tales of how you think and feel about the whole experience from birth to trying to get to grips with being a dad.
After speaking to a number of fellow fathers the feelings of sheer inadequacy are quite common along us when it comes to providing for your kid in the early months, especially if they're breastfed.
Its literally the best and worst thing a person can do. You'll hate it and question your life choices, but when you walk into the room and your kid smiles at you, it makes it all worth it.
That subtle Joe Wicks workout in the background 😆 - was that some underhand diss?
Does it come with a lifetime warranty, especially if you have to pay a subscription? Sort of thing I can imagine going wrong after about 18 months and need a repair.
2 year warranty. They have two subscription models - expensive and very expensive. If you choose the very expensive one (and keep it) warranty is extended to 5 years (but you also end pay around 50% or more of the initial product price in subscription fee over the 5 years.
I have the 8sleep Pod 3 cover with the very expensive subscription. I love the cover but hate the subscription model.
"it's arrived; oh my god this thing weighs a fucking ton" he says of a mattress while pregnant missus stares daggers at him :-)
Genuinely good for you mate 👍
😂 what a twist, I really thought you’d hate it 😂😂
This is pure enshittification
Appreciated the no bullshit review.

"Bellend, bollocks, wanker" - since I miss my years spent in the UK, I'm only here because of the accent and slang. :D
Just kidding, loving the content and congrats on the upcoming BEBE project!
Cheers, Xx
It’s crazy to me that a company that makes something for your bed, didn’t think to make the water container the right shape to fit UNDER the bed lol.
Mate this is exactly what I did not need to hear. rip wallet
I’m very happy with chilipad dock pro. It’s super cold!!!
Honestly it sounds amazing but that prize tag and subscription are obviously made for people with above average income. I just looked it up and it's even more expensive in the EU. As good as it sounds I'm not going to pay a monthly fee for a mattress topper app.
It’s the equivalent of almost $2700 here in Blighty. I’d love to sleep better but that plus electricity plus a sub. Jeez.
Water and electricity. The exact two things I always wanted together while I'm sleeping...
Obviously Aussie land is different with different problems. In the UK my answer is Harrison mattresses. Cold side, warm side, natural and with no water pumping. And no subsrciption.
credit card - ah sh!t here we go again
