On Wednesday, sleep technology firm Eight Sleep introduced its latest Pod 6 model, now offered in a more compact size than prior versions for better compatibility with various bed frames, as well as solo options for individual use. The company stated that the device can modify the temperature on each side 20% more quickly than its predecessor.
With its 50% reduced size, the new pod is compatible with most bed frames. The firm asserts that it features 9 times more sensors, allowing it to finely tune temperature adjustments for each sleeper, even when they are close together. Moreover, it can disregard temperature readings from a pet or child sharing the bed with two adults.
Starting today, the Pod 6 is available in over 37 countries, with prices beginning at $1,999 for solo versions and $2,699 for standard variants. The solo models are suitable for twin beds and one side of queen, king, and California King beds. Standard options will be offered in queen, king, and California King sizes. Additionally, it is compatible with existing accessories like a blanket, pillow cover, and base.

In addition to its new sleep solutions, the company is seeking approval from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to classify its Eight Sleep Pod as a regulated medical device for sleep apnea in the United States.
Earlier this year, Eight Sleep secured $50 million in funding from Tether at a valuation of $1.5 billion. The company has also made strides to enhance its global presence, launching its products in China, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, and Singapore over the last year, with China emerging as one of its rapidly growing markets.
According to CEO Matteo Franceschetti in a statement to TechCrunch, international sales account for over 30% of the company’s revenue. He indicated that they plan to expand into additional areas of Asia and Latin America. Franceschetti remarked that they are closely monitoring the supply chain issues affecting the electronics industry but did not confirm whether these would affect pricing.
“We definitely see the market changing a little bit because AI companies are requesting a lot of different components. We are adjusting our supply chain [to counter that]. It’s definitely something that we need to watch out for, particularly as our devices become more and more, I would say, compute-heavy and intelligent to be able to provide AI features to our users,” he said.
