  "account": "After a sweltering summer, I decided to test the Orion Sleep System, a smart mattress cover that claims to regulate temperature for better sleep. This system is compatible with mattresses ranging from 10 to 16 inches tall and fits queens, kings, and California Kings. The Orion Sleep System boasts a 30-night trial period and a 2-year warranty, which can be extended for an additional $399. Priced at $2,395 for a queen, the Orion is pricier than Eight Sleep's Pod 6, which costs $2,899 for a queen. However, the Orion offers a more affordable alternative to Eight Sleep and does not require a subscription for basic use. The Orion comprises a control hub and a cover, both made of stretchy material. The control hub contains water tubes and sensors, while the cover features bamboo fabric for breathability and a soft touch. Sensors integrated into the cover monitor sleep patterns, including stages, heart rate variability, and breathing rate. The Orion adjusts the temperature of the water circulating within the cover, cooling or heating it as needed. This system operates on both sides of the bed, ensuring optimal comfort for both sleep partners.",
