Take It From Elon: The Eight Sleep Pod 5… “It’s Good.”
The world’s greatest (and most successful) multitasker tagged the makers of the temperature-regulating, sleep-maximizing mattress cover in a post on X a while back and gave a succinct but firm endorsement: “it’s good.”
Joining a long list of celebs, scientists, and top athletes who stand behind Eight Sleep, Elon made it known that the award-winning mattress cover that can cool and heat your bed from 55°F to 110°F was more than just the latest tech trend. But now we have confirmation that the tech-giant doesn’t just like the product, he sleeps on it:
Apparently, Musk believes in the performance-maximizing tech of Eight Sleep so deeply that he had a huge shipment of Pods sent to the Department of Government Efficiency offices to help them with their relentless work weeks. Add this to the fact that Zuckerberg said Eight Sleep keeps him “dialed in” and even the CEO biohacker Bryan Johnson uses one… and you’ve got a very impressive list of endorsements from the world’s top performing people.
There’s a reason Eight Sleep was named one of Fast Company’s World’s Most Innovative Companies for the second year in a row.
This Mattress Cover of the Future Starts at $3,049. Is It Really Worth It?
Sure, the world’s highest-performing people rave about it, the best athletes in the world don’t go on a trip without bringing their Pod along, and the company is constantly winning awards for innovation and forward-thinking. But it ain’t cheap.
Here’s the thing, though: you spend 1/3 of your life in bed. If anything’s worth investing in, it’s your sleep. And the Pod 5 isn’t just a mattress cover… it’s a full-fledged, AI-powered sleep system that turns any bed into a smart recovery platform. While previous versions made waves for their ability to heat and cool from 110°F to 55°F, Pod 5 adds built-in surround sound, clinical-grade health tracking, immersive temperature via an all-new Blanket, and zero-gravity elevation. The result?
- Up to 34% more deep sleep
- Increased daytime energy levels by up to 34%
- Up to one more hour of sleep per night
Pod 5 can even detect and alert you of early signs of stress and sickness, no wearable required. It’s not just a sleep upgrade, it’s a life upgrade.
Your AI-Powered, Personalized Sleep Coach
Eight Sleep’s app does more than control your bed, it becomes your nightly coach. It visualizes trends in your sleep, gives health insights, and even lets you schedule your temperature settings with seasonal profiles like “Winter,” “Muscle Recovery,” and “Illness Support.”
The Pod gets smarter over time, too. After a few weeks, it starts to anticipate your body’s needs… like turning the temperature down at 2:00 AM if it notices you typically toss and turn at that time.
Plus, if you sleep with a partner, Eight Sleep offers dual-zone climate control. You can sleep cool at 64° while your partner enjoys a nice warm side at 100°. And it does it all silently. Pod 5 does, however, come with a built-in surround sound system for customized soundscapes and white noise (if that’s your thing). Paired with Eight Sleep’s gentle-rise, vibrating alarm… you’re sure to wake up on the right side of the bed every single morning.
Built by Science, Backed by Science (& 50+ Clinical Studies)
Eight Sleep’s Autopilot 3.0 has been trained on over 1.2 million hours of sleep. It’s now hyper-personalized and responsive, updating the Pod temperature every single minute to maximize time spent in deep and REM sleep. On top of that, the biotracking technology has gotten good enough to be considered clinical-grade, tested against gold standards as 99% accurate.
Eight Sleep doesn’t just sell a pipe-dream, it sells an all but guaranteed personal power-up. The guy who said it’s the “best performance-enhancing drug of the decade” wasn’t lying.
Take It From Elon, Blissful Sleep Is Always Worth It.
This is what Eight Sleep’s Pod 5 promises you. If it’s good enough for Musk and Zuckerberg, it’s probably worth checking out. If you’re investing in your training, your brain, your health, your productivity… why wouldn’t you invest in the one thing that powers it all?
It’s worth mentioning that you can get any version of the Pod 5 for $0 down followed by interest-free installments with Affirm. It ultimately comes out to paying less per day than a cup of coffee (which, with such great sleep, you might not need). Eight Sleep also offers free shipping and a 30-night, risk-free trial if you’d like to try it out.
