Pod 3 sprang a leak after about three years despite the extended-warranty plan; too expensive for something that breaks in 2-3 years.
Switched from a long-lived Chilipad to a Pod 3 and had a pump in the hub fail after about two years, and found support unhelpful.
Pod 3 cover worked well the first month but after two months feels the same temperature as the room even at the maximum setting.
His Pod 3 stopped adding water to the loop and support first quoted $700 for a new pod
Pod 3 worked great for two years, then had non-stop issues, and they disliked paying for the subscription.
Their first system, likely a Pod 3, lasted a little over a year before one side stopped cooling
Stopped working after three years, and I discovered Eight Sleep had quietly migrated my Autopilot Plus subscription (which included an extended warranty) to a basic plan with no warranty coverage.
After my original hub's pump died at three years, I bought a working secondhand hub on eBay that worked for a week before Eight Sleep remotely deactivated it and demanded I buy a new Pod 4 hub.
Their Pod 3 leaked, then after paying for a Pod 5 cover only one side of the Pod 3 hub worked and they paid to replace that too.
Two-year-old Pod 3 pump is failing and whining loudly each cycle; Eight Sleep only offered a discounted Pod 4.
Their Pod 3 stopped working after about two and a half years and was out of warranty, so they refused to spend more with the company.
His replacement Pod 3 Cover leaked again within two years and support denied warranty coverage
Both his Pod 2 and Pod 3 failed within about a year each, which Eight Sleep blamed on his adjustable mattress
Control tower failed under a year ago at a $500 replacement cost, and now the cover has failed too, leaving the unit unusable.
Nine months into the Pod 3 it stopped cooling and support blamed a clog and sent a part
Multiple failures on his Pod 3: the cover was replaced for a leak that ruined his mattress, and sleep tracking then failed after an update
Original cover leaked in 2022, and the replacement began leaking about two years later.
Their Pod 3 stopped cooling on one side and the sleep tracking quit working, long after warranty.
