Designed to slip over your existing pillows without changing their shape or firmness, the Pod Pillow Cover features discreet tubes, or what the company calls “silent hydro channels,” that are used to circulate temperature-controlled water beneath your head. Up to two sleepers can dial in an exact temperature anywhere between 55 and 110 degrees Fahrenheit and the cover will maintain it all night long — no pillow flips needed.
The Pod Pillow Cover is launching today in the US and other markets, including the EU and Canada, for $1,049 and discounted to $1,649 for a pair. There’s no pretending that’s not an expensive alternative to traditional cooling pillows that rely on cooling gels or foams, but that’s not all you need to pay. The Pod Pillow Cover is made to complement Eight Sleep’s existing cooling systems, which currently start at $2,449, plus a $199 annual subscription. They feature a larger mattress cover that can regulate the temperature of your entire bed and include the company’s bedside hub that circulates the water for precise control.
