Eight Sleep is an American company that develops products for "sleep fitness". [1] [2] [3]
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.

In 2022, Eight Sleep acquired health coaching company Span Health. In November 2024, they expanded to the United Arab Emirates as part of a Middle East growth strategy, citing studies showing 40% of UAE residents struggle with sleep quality. [7]
Eight Sleep's flagship product is the Pod mattress. [8] The company has integrated its products with Amazon's Echo devices. [9] [10] In 2024, Eight Sleep launched the fourth generation of the Pod, Pod 4. [11]
In 2021, The Strategist described the company's Pod mattress as the only product of its type able to provide perceptible temperature control. [12] A more recent review from the website said that "the Eight Sleep's temperature-controlling features are easily found elsewhere for cheaper." [13] In February 2023, they 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.
