Opening excerpt (first ~120 words) tap to expand
Sleep tech company Eight Sleep on Wednesday launched its new Pod 6 device in a smaller size than previous editions to fit more bed frames, along with solo sizes for one-person use. The company said that the device can be used to adjust the temperature on either side 20% faster than the previous-generation gadget. Because the new pod has a 50% smaller footprint, it can fit most bed frames. The company claims the device has 9x more sensors, enabling it to understand granular temperature controls for each user even if they are sleeping close together. Plus, it can ignore data from a pet or a kid sleeping on the bed with two users. The Pod 6 is available starting today in over 37 countries, starting at $1,999 for solo sizes and at $2,699 for standard sizes.
