Eight Pod 2 vs GhostBed 3D Matrix

The Pod Pro was designed to be comfortable for most people at a medium firmness.

The GhostBed 3D Matrix is a 5.5 to 6.5 out of 10 on the firmness scale (10 = too hard, 0 = too soft). The feel is slightly softer than the GhostBed and similar to the Flex.

Five layers of CertiPUR-US®-certified foam for the ideal medium firmness and contouring support.

• 1" Comfort Blend™ Integrated Topper
• 2" Airflow Top Layer
• 1" Supportive Air Technology™
• 4" FlexSpring technology core
• 4" Durable Premium Base.

• Room Climate and Weather Response
• Daily Health Check & HRV Monitoring
• GentleRise™ Wake Up Technology
• Dual-Zone Cooling & Heating
• Advanced Sleep Tracking
• Free iOS/Android App

The new 13" GhostBed 3D Matrix hybrid mattress has patented 3D Matrix Technology. This exclusive Gel Polymer layer scientifically adjusts to your individual body shape and temperature. The mattress is a seven layer construction:

• Cooling Cover
• 3D Matrix Polymer Layer
• 1" Gel Memory Foam
• 1" Ghost Bounce Layer (Special Gel-Infused Memory Foam)
• 1" Ghost 3D Matrix Soft Transition Foam
• 8.5" Individually Wrapped & Reinforced Support Coils
• 1" High Density Support Foam.

The Pod's hydro-cooling technology can heat and cool each side of the bed from 55 to 110 degrees Fahrenheit - keeping you at a comfortable temperature all night. With its Smart Temp technology, the Pod continuously and automatically adjusts the temperature of each bed side based on signals from your body and environment. Water flows through the Hub's hydro-engines to the Active Grid to keep the bed as warm or cool as you desire. Fits next to your night stand. Refill with water every 2-3 months.
With twice as many sensors as the original Pod, the Pod Pro is the first mattress with built-in HRV monitoring, alongside other biometrics such as Resting Heart Rate, Respiratory Rate, Sleep Stages, and Sleep Time. HRV variations can help you track your health to understand your body's fatigue level and anticipate illness.

3D Matrix Polymer Layer offers 3 dimensions of comfort:

• The 3D Matrix layer is an integrated thermal conductive gel polymer. As excess heat accumulates under and around the sleeper, it is absorbed into 3D Matrix layer. As a fully connected sheet, that absorbed heat travels away from the sleeper.
• Conventional Foam layers comfort you by compressing as different parts of the body "press" on the foam. The 3D Matrix layer is an omni directional layer which stretches in all directions to mold and contour to each individual part of the sleeper's body.
• The 3D Matrix layer is ergonomically designed which allows the sleeper to sleep on the mattress, NOT in it.

Like a premium topper, the integrated Comfort Blend™ pairs with the other four layers of premium foam for the ultimate contouring support while continuing to deliver a personalized microclimate on each side of the bed.

The core of the GhostBed 3D Matrix features the patented Ghost 3D Matrix innerspring coil unit with our Spirited Edge™ support Design. With two rows of specially reinforced coils along the edge of the bed make it easier to sit comfortably without slipping off the edge plus you can sleep right on the edge without feeling like you'll fall off.

The Pod Pro features an additional layer of foam in its Active Grid - the thermoregulating layer of the bed. This layer dynamically heats and cools during the night.
The Pod Pro features a proprietary smart alarm. This first of its kind wake-up experience uses gentle vibration at chest level to wake you up while gradually cooling or warming the bed to ensure a smooth morning experience with no disruption to your partner. Set it and control it from the Eight Sleep app.

The GhostBed 3D Matrix Mattress features the exciting new 3D Matrix technology. This new comfort layer technology is revolutionary because it automatically bio-adjusts to two different body shapes and body temperatures at the same time, creating the ideal sleeping environment for both sleepers. The 3D Matrix layer automatically bio-adjusts to both sleep partners through simultaneous heat diffusion and weight distribution - two critical elements in sound sleep. The 3D Matrix allows excess heat is drawn away from the body. The Gel Polymer layer stretches in all directions conforming to the body without causing it to sink into the mattress.
Gel-infused Memory Foam absorbs and dissipates body heat as fresh air passes through the foam.

The Airflow layer is soft to the touch and outperforms other foam on airflow, elasticity, and instantaneous response to your body impressions.
The Supportive Air Technology™ comforts your body while millions of air cells reduce pressure in sensitive areas.
The FlexSpring technology core is uniquely responsive and features enhanced cradling performance and high support.
The premium base layer absorbs movement while still providing a natural bounce feeling.

The 3D Matrix ensures body weight is distributed evenly, relieving pressure and reducing the body's need to reposition itself, allowing each sleeper to wake up well rested, free of aches and pains, and energized to embrace the coming day.
Ghost 3D Matrix Soft Transition Foam is one inch of pure pressure relief. This layer contours to your body and reduces the need to toss and turn.
Individually wrapped coils provide that sturdy, responsive support of traditional innerspring mattresses you're used to.

The Active Grid cover with Comfort Blend™
A premium and breathable cover. Water flows from the Hub to this thin and contouring layer to keep you at your ideal temperature. It also includes the sensors that track your biometrics and an integrated layer of foam for superior comfort.

Featuring the same cover used in other GhostBed models, the cover contains a proprietary formulation developed in Japan where cooling properties are woven directly into the fibers of the yarn, creating the Ghost Ice Fabric. The Ghost Ice Fabric is instantly cool to the touch, and will absorb and trap heat that is released by the body. Molecular changes in the fabric will neutralize the heat, keeping the sleeping surface cool.
