Eight Sleep is an American company that develops products for "sleep fitness".[1][2][3]
History
Eight Sleep was founded in 2014 in San Francisco by Matteo Franceschetti, Massimo Andreasi Bassi, Andrea Ballarini, and Alexandra Zatarain.
The company financed their first projects through a crowdfunding campaign in 2015. Since 2016, the company has raised multiple rounds through venture capital, include a Series B fundraising round in 2018[4] and a Series C fundraising round in 2021 led by Valor Equity Partners with participation from SoftBank and Founders Fund.[5][6]
In 2022, Eight Sleep acquired health coaching company Span Health.
Products
Eight Sleep's flagship product is the Pod mattress.[7] The company has also integrated its offerings with Amazon's Echo devices.[8][9] In 2024, Eight Sleep launched the four generation of the Pod, Pod 4.[10]
In 2021, The Strategist described the company's Pod mattress as the only product of its type able to provide perceptible temperature control.[11] A more recent review from that website, however, noted that "the Eight Sleep's temperature-controlling features are easily found elsewhere for cheaper."[12]
In February 2023, Eight Sleep started to require a paid subscription (with an annual cost ranging from $180 to $288) to access most of the Pod's functionality, including sleep tracking and variable temperature control.
