With the launch of Pod 5, we’re introducing a new hydro-powered Blanket that works with the Cover to transform the Pod into an immersive microclimate at your optimal temperature.
Double the cooling and heating surface
Already trusted by users all around the world and proven to enhance sleep quality, the Pod’s Cover delivers dynamic cooling and heating between 55°F and 110°F, independently on each side of the bed.
The new Blanket is a hydro-powered blanket that connects to the Cover and extends dynamic temperature regulation around your entire body. By adding the Blanket, users will experience 2-times the thermal coverage as they would with the Cover alone – encapsulating them fully in their optimal sleeping temperature from above and below.
The perfect addition to the Pod experience
The Blanket works in sync with the Pod’s Cover and mirrors its temperature settings independently on each side of the bed. The result is consistent thermal comfort with fewer temperature disruptions and disagreements on the ideal sleeping environment between partners.
The Pod 5 Cover is the only Pod generation compatible with the Blanket, featuring two connectors, one for each side of the bed, specially designed for the Blanket. These connectors are discreetly tucked into the corners at the foot of the Cover. Once connected to your Cover, your Eight Sleep app will automatically recognize that you have a Blanket and provide instructions for pairing.
Easily integrate the Blanket into your setup
The Blanket is a 12 pound duvet that nests into your existing duvet cover and sits on top of your bed. In order to fully experience the benefits of the Blanket, we don’t recommend you use more than a flat sheet and your duvet cover between your body and the Blanket.
While you can technically use the Blanket without a duvet cover, we recommend using one as the Blanket itself is not washable. We’ve developed an Eight Sleep duvet cover custom-tailored to the new Blanket – featuring a zippable openings on 3 sides, 100% woven modal material, and built-in snaps to keep the Blanket in place.
If you wish, you can add another blanket or duvet on top of the Blanket, for an additional weighted effect.
Clinically-proven to enhance your sleep
You can purchase the Blanket as part of the new Pod Plus model, a bundle designed to support better overnight cardiovascular recovery. We’ve seen impressive results from members using this combination, with participants on average experiencing a 4% drop in sleeping heart rate (−2 bpm) and a 20% increase in sleeping heart rate variability (HRV, +5 ms) when using the Pod with the Blanket compared to sleeping without it. Both are strong indicators of improved cardiovascular recovery.
Participants also reported a 33% boost in overall thermal comfort with the Pod and Blanket combo compared to no Pod, showing that comfort and recovery go hand in hand.
For current Pod users, adding the Blanket can make a real difference. 40% of participants said it was easier to stay asleep, and 57% reported it was easier to wake up compared to the Pod alone. Even more impressive, 47% of participants increased their deep sleep percentage by 5% or more each night.
Adding the Blanket to your Pod not only improves cardiovascular recovery and deep sleep but also elevates thermal comfort, helping you stay asleep throughout the night and wake up easier in the morning.
