Is The $2500 Eight Sleep Mattress Worth It? 

4k and then 30 a month for the app plus the energy bills, I’ll wait for the boys in Shanghai to knock this off first

The $2500 USD mattress also requiring a subscription to an app is the definition of bullshit....

I need a comparison between this cover and sleeping on 2,500 dollar bills

I was lucky enough to receive one free. The first few days were amazing. It was really cold. Then that coldness started to dissipate. Then the unit started to make a noise. A loud noice. The company replaced the unit - but the noice persisted. Meaning it was probably an issue with the mattress cover. In the end I stopped. The app was free also, and now you need a subscription. When it worked it was beautiful. You'll also notice an increase in energy bills as these things aren't cheap to run for 8 plus hours a day.

“Men often want to be warmer than women…” what wildebeests have you been with, mate?

monthly subscription for a mattress cover is one of the maddest things I've heard in a long time

00:34 I think you said that back to Front. Women always want to be warmer, and men always want to be cooler.

‘The first blood relative I’ve ever seen’ … blew me away (very nearly shed a man tear). Different circumstances but my children are my only relatives too. Congratulations. Enjoy every moment of it. One suggestion … have a couple … you’ll like at least one of them that way 😂😂😂 (joking, being a dad is absolutely the best thing ever)

"Like my new born. Yeah there are some positives, but you can't escape that cost" Lol

I usually love your videos but this ain’t it at all. I don’t car if this mattress does finish you off in the morning. No normal person can justify 4k + $30 a month?! Insane.

As an adopted person myself I can tell you; you will better understand yourself and better connect with people, having a child. It is the hardest and most rewarding thing ever. It will make you a better person. The days are long and the years are short. A heart felt congratulations to you.

Let me tell you that your kid, in this day and age, is never gonna leave home! 😂

I really like the idea of this, but if not the overall cost is what puts me off, it's the subscription. I'm so sick and tired of having a god damn subscription for everything even down to a fucking door bell!

this guy acting like hes not the millionaire this mattress was marketed to LOL

Would be nice to also get a 3 months update or something like that

This is literally the only Chanel I trust with reviewing products

Joe Wicks vid in the background ahahah

The cost will linger, until the company goes under and the app will no longer work. On the upside you won't have to pay the $15 a month, on the downside you'll be left with a $2500 mattress protector.

CON: from now on, you will never sleep well in another bed without an 8sleep 😅 I’ve been using it for 4 years now and I love it, but my sleep during holidays is much worse!

What happened to rich roll. He sleeps or slept on his roof in a tent. Maybe he was AI generated

I’ve gone from thinking ‘hmmm not sure I like this guy’ many years ago may I add. To seeing you on podcasts, interviews on mainstream media in the UK and then this video right here… Massively changed my opinion. Honest, funny and genuinely care about helping others. Can tell you’ll absolutely smash being a dad out the park.

Anything for the "bebe"

I was starting to wonder where you were mate. I always want more James Smith but I dont want worse James Smith. Great content as usual.

Hey dude, the baby wont freeze in the temperature you sleep in. Babies dont sleep naked so you can put some clothes on him/her. In nordic countries babies sleep outside when it is actually freezing as in below zero.

I have night sweats that constantly wake me up. I've had a water-cooled mattress topper (Ooler) and it's changed my life. It didn't cost £2500 but i'd pay £10k for the difference it's made to my life.

And I just sit here wondering why on earth you felt some need to make this video.. well.. unless you were paid.. which you claim you werent. Well then why praise it so much with happy music in the background? Its just not adding up.

Yes just what I want, my bed to use electricity

It has a cost of $2,500, you have to pay a subscription to use it/keep using it, there is no way the app can accurately track your sleep data like that, and the software/hardware will likely stop working if the company were to ever go out of business, which is a possibility because you'd have to be insane to buy this product. I'mma pass on this one.

My exes have all complained that sleeping next to me was like sleeping next to a furnace. I'd love to have one of these, but I think forcing a subscription is asinine. Maybe I'll look at one of those under-sheet cold air blowers instead.

Your review pushed me over the edge to get it and I LOVE IT. It has been an absolute game changer.

Paying a monthly subscription and both kidneys upfront to sleep is bonkers. Great review btw.

If anyone wants to try a far cheaper alternative first, i recommend linen sheets. Far better for temperature regulation than cotton or the unbreathable hell that is polyester. I used to wake up from sweats every night but since switching to linen i havent had that problem once.

Ugh, I hate that you love this. If it was a reasonable price and/or the app was free (AS IT SHOULD BE) then I'd actually buy it.

Congratulations on your wonderful news. Having and raising a child is the hardest, but best experience ever. 🎉

Does it come with a lifetime warranty, especially if you have to pay a subscription? Sort of thing I can imagine going wrong after about 18 months and need a repair.

fucking hell james what happened man ...

Amazing tech. All I have to do now is wait for like 3 years until Xiaomi comes up with their own stuff at a third of the price, and definitely with a free app haha.

'mattress cover for a millionaire' If I was a millionaire, I'd have two single mattresses together: one for my Mrs' to be warm; one, more porous, for me. Either that, or, just use a thin duvet. This is such a scammy rip-off. A solution in search for a problem.

Bro tried to sneak in Neutonic...

The subscription model is just becoming ridiculous... 😮

How does he fall asleep in 5 mins

the biggest problem that it cools your bed and the same time warms ear in bedroom...

sponsor destroyer (edit: okay maybe not destroyer, but realistic sponsor reviewer) back at it again. hey have you reviewed magic spoon? something tells me it isn't as good as they make it sound

Dude, people literally put their babies outside to sleep in -20c and it's actually good for them. Very common in Scandinavia, look into it

This also requiring a subscription! WTF. Love The Video James, Makes my day all the time

Anyone else thought James bought PCs or PC cases?

I would absolutely not recommend this to other people coz this is such a great idea that no way competition won't come out with better priced products in the future. Hopefully they don't follow suit and software block your mattress cover with a subscription.

credit card - ah sh!t here we go again

You're entertaining informative and inspiring James thank you. But I can't agree with the recommendation of a 2,5k matress when we have our extremities that are little heat exchangers so if you need to cool down peak a cheeky extremity out of the duvet -- a foot, a hand maybe both hey -- and you'll get the required cooling. Having more devices that suck your mind out of your eye holes has its own downsides. And it looks like you would have gotten those great sleep scores anyway (good luck in July lol) proving that if you're already sleeping well this will make a minimum difference. And if you dont sleep well there are a pethora of free things you can try that should be tried before spending money. Do wanna emphasize though: thank you for the great and entertaining video.

Honestly it sounds amazing but that prize tag and subscription are obviously made for people with above average income. I just looked it up and it's even more expensive in the EU. As good as it sounds I'm not going to pay a monthly fee for a mattress topper app.

The $2500 doesn't bother me as much if the product has a lifetime guarantee that you can use for any mattresses you purchase in the future if it's helping you sleep, as I'd put it in the same category as fitness equipment. If it's helping me be healthier overall then that price tag is ultimately worth it to me. But adding a subscription fee on top of this for $300 dollars? I don't need to be taxed $300 dollars for the rest of my life.

Here’s a question for you! How do you think using that nightly when you’re home will affect you when you travel? Would be interesting to see a follow up, say, after you spent a week away on holiday (not that you’ll be able to afford a holiday for years, between the baby costs, mattress purchase & subscriptions 😂) letting us know how your sleep was when you’re ‘deprived’ of the thermal regulation after becoming accustomed to having it.

The cost and subscription is an offense to god and man, but it measurably improves my sleep.

Ah congrats dude! I reckon you’ll be a good dad 😊👍

Cool to hear you're passing down your genes, get those quality Anglo-Celtic birthrates up in the colonies

You bought it so i dont have to but now i want too and cant 😂

£2500, subscription. Those costs have robbed a child of the supplements James would recommend. 😓

I’m very happy with chilipad dock pro. It’s super cold!!!

"Men want to be warmer than women" ?? This goes against every stereo type I've ever heard. Women are always too cold, and men are always too hot. BEETTAAA

Lmao at the app ranking your sleep score so highly consistently. I wonder if they have any incentive to lie about how well their product works. They might just have 2500 incentives per purchase, and 30 additional incentives every month per purchase 😂 Thermal regulation happens if you slept on the floor too, and a queen size futon + everything else required would cost like 2k total. Massive ripoff ah.

There’s exactly ZERO chance, that I will “subscribe” in order to use the 8 Sleep. ZERO.

Subscription mattress? No thank you, no matter how good it is. If you have to pay to use it, it’s not yours, you’re just renting it. You’ll will own nothing and you’ll be happy - Danish politician Ida Auken

If I had "fuck you money" I would defs buy one lol!! Sleeping cold would be gloooorious. You're going to be such good parents 🥰🥰🥰🥰

You could also buy a iPhone 15 Pro The new iPad Pro M4 Apple Watch Series 9 For the same price. At least cut the price in half.

I could consider this, but I won't because there's a subscription. Without the subscription I could see myself getting this

Unbelievable how much these companies are charging for water pumps lmao. Then the subscription just to twist the dagger 😂

$2500 to make a monetized video as part of a limited business? Bro you can just right off that $2500 :D As a business expense

What if you simply don't use a blanket? Sleep naked. Put a blanket on top of you and cool underneath - what an idea! :D I just save you $2500 + the price of the blanket

fancy that! each morning, the manufacturers' own app tells you that you had a great sleep! whoever would have thought! these cooling mattresses are junk technology of very dubious accuracy and supposed benefit

1000 thread count Sheets will do the same... Get a scandinavian down comforter - a good one. Your sleep worries will be over!

Hey, just found your channel and was going back through some of your old videos. I love the way you do reviews. You aren’t paid off by the manufacturer to give a positive review. Respect because you could be making a lot of money that way. Instead, I subscribed because of your honesty. Keep up the good work.

If this doesn't work out. Know that you can keep the baby warm just fine as well. In Scandinavian countries it's quite normal to have a baby outside in their stroller in freezing temps.

awww your dog's a Kelpie?! 😻we had a lovely lovely loving intelligent dog, Seamus, growing up - who was a Black Labrador/Kelpie cross - seen pics of them, but none 'in action' - yeah renowned for their intelligence, as are labs - he was such an awesome dog. love that yours is 'supervising' making the bed (& your missus should be impressed by your bed making skills, 'on ya mate 👍)

Unfortunately way out of my price range 😟. It would be great for menopausal women who get night sweats. I think I’ll wait until competition drives the price down 😂

Business class really does fuck it all. People who fly economy blow my mind. You couldn't pay me £10k to fly just one way in economy long hall

How does it compare to... Just sleeping in a cool room... Like our ancestors did? Presumably the company who makes it is not keep on that comparison

I wish you had fucking hated it. I wanted to get one of these but didn’t due to the cost. Know I might be down $2500 US dollars 😢

Idc about mattress temp brah. I just plop on surface and sleep for 3 or so hours and i don't care about covers or whatever. My kids got bed side bassinets and I just hand the little one over when its hungry, burp and it set it back to sleep. Don't over think it bro.

thanks for this James, much appreciated. I have to admit I had never heard of a/this cooling mattress cover (seen ads for cooling BLANKETS, which is what I thought this was...). don't know what part of aussie you're in (assuming you're back in aussie) mate I struggle with the heat in Auckland (Aotearoa/New Zealand) - currently have 3 different fans going (one of them similar - cooling fan - add water). I might consider this one day - but the thought of water and electricity - sleeping on that combo, yeah not a fan of this concept. maybe next summer....

Things the best! Compared with the ooler it’s 1000x better avoid the ooler at all costs!

This is literally designed for top 1% people who can afford to throw thousands around like nothing for a tiny bit of optimisation. Doesn’t seem worth it for your average Joe or Jane.

Anyone know how much the monthly subs are? And if you can use as a stand alone divice, no sub? 2k isn't too bad if it actually improves sleep, you spend more time in bed than in your car comforts is important.

I don't care but if I have to pay evey day in addition to the 2.5k to use the product, it's completely bs

You sleep almost full 8 hours? Enjoy that till about the middle of June 😅 and then forget about any consistent sleep for maybe 2 years 😁

Cant wait for some parent/fitness related content. PPL 6 day split doesnt really factor in child induced sleep deprivation.

Use separate blankets to regulate heat between you and your partner. There, saved you $2500.

I’ve had one for a few years. Never had an issue. I like it. I’m not making a witty video about it though.

I hate any fitness product with a subscription built in. Such a 8sleep or whoop. I am paying for a hardware good. If you say that newer versions of software is money then fine, but at least make it so that I can scrape my own data etc.

Thanks for buying something So I Don’t Have To

in a world where everyone is trying to sell me something, thank you James for being you, it’s refreshing to see how reluctant you are recommending this 😂

There's ZERO reason this should have a subscription!

Can you make a video about Andrew Tates new supplement fireblood?

Wait wait wait wait. Men want to be warmer and women want to be colder? No no no, that does not compute. Not mine and my wife's experience. Data please!

I picked one of these up (delivery driver) as a customers return, he said it was shit lol, hence the return and yeh the box is fkn ridiculously heavy

Like many, the subscription turned me right off even if I could afford it.

Single cost i can live woth, but not a aubscription

Everyone should sleep in a cold room. You sleep better. We have the window open year round!

Need a review on bottled water mate, absolute rip off, only thing humans require to stay alive and we have to pay for it.

lol First mistake is you thinking you are going to get any sleep with a newborn. Congratulations!
