Eight Sleep Smart Mattress: 1 Year Later Review 

Seeing the absolute price its totally necessary. For me as an average income guy >2000€ is still a lot of money which i cant buy just at once.

the subscription is in addition to the large up front cost however@@TobiasDettinger

Don't tell me what to love!

Yea, I find that fkd up. Its a major reason why I might not buy it... and I really want. $288 a year!!?! . I pay a lot less for a lot more for other things in life. I could see like $10/month.. but $24?! gmfab

It’s a matter of principle. Maybe if it was 1/4 the price I’d be a bit more okay with the subscription, but also why does a bed need a subscription

@@josephyang3260 also its just your bed that would be cool or hot your not going to stay in bed 24/7 on a hot summer day might as well get ac unit instead

But you pay registration for your car bro, basically the same thing, also, the have development costs to cover for.

@@I_WILL_SUB_BACK_IF_YOU_SUB you pay registration for your car because roads cost a fortune to maintain. You could argue that servers for the app also have costs, but I can guarantee you they cost orders of magnitude less than 15$ a month per user. Moreover, there are absolutely 0 reasons why you should need an app to control this mattress, and there are absolutely 0 reasons why this app needs to connect to remote servers. The reason it costs so much is because it’s recurring revenue, which is much more appealing to investors than one-time big sales.

Morgan Sullivan - I love that comment! I burst out laughing due to the irony. Thanks I needed that today 👌

@@Lawton1111 ;)

but this bed is tech

This guy is right. Its way better to bring your bed to tech.

Ehh

Chauncey Gardener - haha you made me laugh! Who knows...the mouse pad might even BE the bed 😂 cool

True! They don't have much in the way of materials, it seems like they have a monopoly and fix prices

they're dominating a niche market so they can easily justify their price if people are willing to pay for it

Quite. 2:55. That would give an error relative to that 1F = ~½C (actually 5/9).

Just to be clear I mean products you review, not merch

@@natashawilliamson3507 Hello Natasha, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus??

It won't get any letter. You'd have to go to diskmgmt and either free up a drive letter and give it to the new drive, or mount it to a folder on an NTFS partition.

@@itskdog oh, got it

Technically you're correct, if the room is sealed off with no airflow, the overall room temperature would increase. However, in my case that is negated because I do keep my air conditioning running at night. There is an air vent that gets some cool air in there, it's just not a huge amount, but it is enough to cool the room overall. Also, I'd say the benefit of the mattress being cooled and the heat being "moved" away from the body, is more than worth the 'cost' of the air temperature being increased by whatever inefficiencies in the machine. I'll have to buy one of those power meter things to be able to tell the actual wattage being pulled from the unit which would give a specific amount. But I think depending on the construction of the house/room, the outside climate, and the insulation of the room, then the heat from the unit might end up being negligible compared to those factors anyway.

@@ThioJoe Thank you TJ for your eloquent reply to my comment.

Hello Bernie, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus??

I was asking myself the same question.

Hello Lawton, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus??

Initially you can feel the water coursing through as the pod circulates the water throughout the mattress, but goes away after a few moments. You can feel the cabling, but I dont notice it anymore. It feels like a apple lightening cable almost. Theres no vibration on my active grid- once the pod is on and has circulated the water its relatively quiet. Maybe a faint hum from the pod, but nothing compared to the competition. Laying on the mattress at colder temps is like laying on cold concrete. Its so icy like a gucci mane song. Warmer temps feels great, though towards the higher temps may start sweating (im a hot sleeper). Overall I love the eight sleep and can’t recommend it enough…thats if one can afford it. Previously my old mattress memory foam would heat up and id overheat at night. Uncomfortable. With 8 im able to sleep through the night.

If you don't buy the subscription you can only set the temp manually. No auto pilot or scheduling temp features

It really ruins the product :(

yeah they create all this junk that just doubles your worries until you throw it away and your money you spent on it

pour water once a year

I do too. Woke up after a couple hours last night to use the bathroom and was DRIPPING with sweat! It was 40°F out and I was only under a sheet and blanket.

Only $2300 for a mattress cover!

@@floppyseizure8615 if its good and actually helps then i dont mind that price.

someone plz answer is this real

No, people steal and re-upload my old joke videos

@@ThioJoe thanks for letting me know

It's not forced, you just get added benefits. Without the subscription you still get a standard warranty and can control the heating/cooling, it just doesn't allow you to do anything beyond that basic feature.

@@j.ballsdeep420, hmm, would be nice if their website said that. But 18 bucks a month for such a small extra when you already paid more than 3,000 dollars is a ripoff.

Yea

@@ThioJoe hi Say hi back :)

Yep

@@ThioJoe Spammers are attacking again

@@_SJ looks like either ThioJoe's spam attack bot killed it,

great overall review and product. unfortunately, it is not working for me. ordered the king size (80x75), without the mattress, as I want to use my own. unfortunately, the shipped perfect fit cover and the activ grid mattress are about 5, respectively 4 inches smaller (75x 72), neither which can fit a standard king size, having tried this for a fee hours, with 3 people. Bas experience. Customer service says yhat their sizes are 79.5 x 74.5 which is definitely NOT the case - - the diff is much more than that. Have others seen this issue, when not ordering along with 8sleep's mattress?? - - thank you kindly.

It's now shipping to Europa, so yes it does, not "Not" ...

@@Adriaan_von_Grobbe I tried, the website says „not available for Europe“

As opposed to Germany, Rhode Island.

He's from Washington, so yes!
