Pod 4 cover with a Pod 3 hub never reached -10; after Eight Sleep sent a Pod 4 hub it works great.

“Got the 4 replacement cover but the 3 hub could never even get my 4 cover to -10 which is where I like it at bedtime.”

Prefers the Pod 4 cover over the Pod 3 cover as a hot sleeper.

“I got a pod 4 cover as a replacement to my pod 3 cover and actually prefer it as a hot sleeper.”

Pod 4 cover does not stay as cool as the Pod 3 and is loud on warm nights; five years, three covers.

“I've definitely noticed that my pod 4 cover doesn't stay as cool as my pod 3 (before the leak).”

Pod 4 got rid of after six months: the automatic temperature adjustments never matched irregular sleep times, so they adjusted by hand.

“I bought a Pod 4 in 2024, and I got rid of it six months later.”

After 45 days the Pod 4 improved sleep only 5-10 percent; its tracking overstated sleep versus Oura and Garmin.

“As it turned out the 8 Sleep Pod 4 only improved my sleep by about 5% -10%.”

A year on a Pod 4 in hot Australia: insanely expensive but no regrets and the cooling is brilliant.

“I got a pod 4 about a year ago, insanely expensive but no regrets.”

Four months on a Pod 4 ended his night sweats and blanket pulling; calls it a miracle.

“Since I started using my Pod 4 about 4 months ago. I no longer sweat nor ever have the take off the blanket.”

Pod 4 after switching from Sleepme: zero issues, very comfortable, barely needs water refills.

“We love it, we’ve had absolutely 0 issues with it. Ours is very comfortable, don’t even know it’s there. Certainly not hard, most of the time I forget it’s even there!”

Replacement Pod 4 cover on an older hub: some features missing but the cover is more comfortable than the Pod 2's.

“There is some functionality that I don’t have because I have a pod 2 hub. I am cool with that. The pod 4 cover is definitely more comfortable than the 2 was.”

Pod 4 cover on a Pod 3 hub, no problems; keeps up in a warm room at a high-60s setting.

“I have a Pod 4 cover with a Pod 3 hub. I haven't had any problems with it. I don't sleep as cold as you - I keep mine in the high 60s, but it really keeps up.”

Pod 4 Ultra base not overly thrilling; worth it only for the integrated snoring support.

“I have the 4ultra base and haven't been overly thrilled with it.”

Five-year Eight Sleep owner with three replacements: now a leak in the Pod 4 cover after only about 1.5 years.

“have just discovered another leak with the pod 4 cover and I’ve old had that one about 1.5 years.”

Pod 4 cover sent with an older Pod 2 hub made the bed warm from -10 to about -6; a hot sleeper, he says the full Pod 4 setup likely works well.

“I was given a Pod 4 cover with my Pod 2 hub, and it's no longer good as a hot sleeper.”

Pod 4 cover is slower to get cold than the Pod 2 but just as effective and much more comfortable.

“Mine seems to take a little longer to get as cold, but once it does it's just as effective as my pod 2 was. Totally worth it for how much more comfortable it is, for me at least.”
positivecomfortable

Pod 4 cover replacing a leaking Pod 3 cover: slower and not as cold, but still loves the Eight Sleep.

“Temperature takes a lot more time to go down, and never as low as before.”
