Eight Sleep Pod 4 Cover Review: Unfiltered Thoughts After 2.5 Years of Sleeping w/ a Pod

[@camsecore]

Black Friday & Cyber Monday Deal: Get $250 off the Pod 4 or $400 off the Pod 4 Ultra with my link (eight-sleep.ioym.net/2rqEoO). The $600 off only applies to those who bundle the purchase with a mattress and sheets. Eight Sleep confirmed this will be their best offer. Huge thanks to everyone supporting the channel by using my links-it keeps this channel going! Got last-minute questions? Drop them here!

I was seriously considering buying this system until I had a conversation with customer service. I asked them if filters for the pod 4 were free with autopilot membership. They confirmed yes they were and would automatically send you one ever 6 months. I then asked them what happens when you cancel your membership how much are the filters direct from them at that time. They came back and said they currently dont sell the filters with out an autopilot membership. Wait what??> A necessary maintenance item cant be purchased but you allow people to cancel their autopilot membership? Seems to me that someone in management has developed a way to ENSURE that people HAVE to keep their Pod 4 Autopilot membership always active because can you imagine how filthty and disgusting innards would be with contaminated water? Ill share the entire conversation I had with them if you want. just let me know. SUCH A SHADY BUSINESS PRACTICE bordering on the ILLEGAL!

That's why I liked when the hub just needed distilled water and peroxide without a filter. But if there's enough demand, I bet a third-party could get involved to make one. I'm going to look into this further.

[@qwerty9567]

⁠@@camsecoreI was thinking that. Could you not still use distilled water and peroxide?

[@USNEM]

If you use a third party product I'm sure they will void your warranty ​@@camsecore

Thank you! 🫡

[@n.c.1266]

Thank you for being honest and unbiased. 👏

[@27manda27]

Thanks for the thoroughness and transparency! Well done 👏

[@camsecore]

Thanks for watching!

[@bee-anca236]

So weird - I got zero notifications you were posting again! Love your reviews!!!!!! I’m trying to find info on the ultra….wondering how effective that base is.

[@camsecore]

Sorry, I've got nothing for ya! The base features look cool, but it's not really how I'd prefer to sleep so I skipped it.

[@T_D_ACH]

Thank you for this !! Just got the pod 4. Have the pod 3 for queen but now in fl and need it for our king bed. Missed it !! Excited

[@camsecore]

You definitely need this in Florida!

[@NylonFOX]

Great video!. My wife and I are definitely considering giving the pod 4 a try. have you ever used the ultra?

[@camsecore]

Thanks! I don't have a mattress that's compatible with the frame, and I'm not super interested in an adjustable bed, so I skipped it. Do you currently have an adjustable bed?

[@anonymous131518]

I would love to just have a cooling sheet that adjusted to my needs for better sleep vs a fitted sheet with all these issues coming up from customers. Who wants to worry about leaking units, filling tanks, replacing filters even if there free & more than anything no one wants to pay for reoccurring subscriptions…they simply just want to pull the covers up and sleep at a comfortable temp. Definitely doesn’t seem worth spending $3,000 on

[@stevea3682]

I think more needs to be said about how they have changed their warranty with membership... The Pod 3 came with a lifetime warranty with membership and the 4 only comes with a 5 year warranty. That alone makes this NOT worth upgrading

[@camsecore]

I remember the lifetime warranty! But as far as I know, it was only around for a few months. It's annoying that the price of their memberships and feature set is constantly changing though. It feels like they're A/B testing features/prices to see the maximum amount of money they can squeeze out of their customers without them leaving.

[@BufiniPinoy]

Great video - qq: think a 40 lbs toddler standing/jumping on the Pod4 cover damage it?

[@camsecore]

We're dealing with a one year old jumper and everything's been good so far! It does make me a bit nervous though.

[@PetarKosovac-u7w]

Hi and thx for this review. Q: It’s hard for me to organize swithcing filters every 6 months (I am living in a country where they are not delivering 8 Sleep so I will have a hussle organizing delivery for filters all the time). Is the pod3 good enough option to use and do I need any extra stuff for it once I have it (apart from subscription)?

[@camsecore]

The Pod 3 is awesome! If you're not set on having the tappable zones on the side of the bed, it's perfect.

[@dez797]

My pod 2 leaked and they sent me a pod 4 replacement under warranty. I do like the pod 4, but it does feel like the temperature changes are harder to feel. I know they claim 2x cooling power, but it is a much more subtle feeling with the pod 4, which comes with improved comfort and not feeling the coils. The thermal alarm no longer wakes me up. Is that something you’ve experienced? I’m curious if I have a defective unit.

[@camsecore]

Do you use the “gradual” or “heavy” pattern for the alarm? The heavy felt about the same as previous versions in my testing, but I don’t wake up to an alarm, so I’m not the perfect judge.

[@Sean-z4v]

Water naturally dissolved in a closed loop system? That doesn’t make sense, can you explain?

[@camsecore]

I don't know--I'm not a scientist! I just know every three months or so the tank is empty and needs more water.

[@jamessong5838]

My link for $200 off still working? not working? Any code?

[@camsecore]

Looks like it works to me. But if it doesn't, "CAM" code will work.

[@meungawa]

This is a good review but you have to stop upspeaking. It's a bad habit and every statement sounds like a question. There are videos on how to stop this. Good content here!

[@camsecore]

You can do that on your channel.
