Pod 5 Ultra is the latest iteration of smart bed technology from Eight Sleep, designed to optimize sleep and recovery using AI and real-time biometric sensing. It builds upon previous models with new features, including a hydro-powered blanket for enhanced temperature regulation, integrated surround sound, and AI algorithms that can detect fever. The system is composed of a smart mattress cover, a Hub, the hydro-powered blanket, and an adjustable base. The Pod 5 Ultra aims to provide a fully immersive sleep experience with personalized temperature control, sleep tracking, and automatic adjustments.
Eight Sleep's Pod 5 Ultra monitors sleep and health metrics, such as time asleep, heart rate, and respiratory rate, without the need for wearables. The "Autopilot" feature utilizes AI to learn sleep patterns and automatically adjusts temperature, elevation, and sound to support optimal sleep stages. The adjustable base includes a snore mitigation feature that gently elevates the head when snoring is detected. As of February 2026, the Pod 5 Ultra is available for purchase, with queen-size models starting at $5,849. A monthly subscription is required to access the full range of features.
