Eight Sleep’s new Pod 6 comes in smaller and solo sizes, starting at $1,999

Sleep technology company Eight Sleep unveiled its latest Pod 6 device on Wednesday, offering a smaller and solo-sized version at a starting price of $1,999. The Pod 6 can adjust temperatures on either side 20% faster than its predecessor, thanks to 9 times more sensors that allow for precise temperature control for each sleeper, even when sharing a bed.

Weighing 50% less, the new Pod fits most bed frames and can be used for solo use or two-person sleep. The device starts at $2,699 for standard sizes and is now available in over 37 countries. The Pod 6 can be integrated with accessories like blankets, pillow covers, and bases. Beyond sleep products, Eight Sleep is seeking FDA approval to transform the Pod into a regulated medical device for sleep apnea treatment in the U.S. The company recently secured $50 million in funding from Tether, valuing it at $1.5 billion.

In recent years, Eight Sleep has expanded its presence internationally, launching products in China, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, and Singapore, with China emerging as a rapidly growing market. CEO Matteo Franceschetti revealed that international sales account for over 30% of the company's revenue and indicated plans to further penetrate other Asian regions and Latin America.

Franceschetti also acknowledged the potential impact of a component shortage in the electronics sector on pricing, but did not disclose if it would affect the Pod 6's cost. He emphasized the need to adapt their supply chain as their devices become increasingly AI-driven.
