Eight Pod 2 vs Bestselling Tuft & Needle Mint

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

Generally speaking, we describe both of our mattresses as medium-firm in feel. However, we also understand even that description can be subjective. Two people sleeping on the same mattress might have contrasting opinions - it could be too soft, too firm, or just right. That's why we offer our 100-night sleep trial to ensure every person has the opportunity to decide if the Tuft & Needle mattress is the right fit for them, and return it if it's not.

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

Our Tuft & Needle Mattress is the original, universally comfortable mattress that changed an entire industry. Mint® is everything that makes the original great, with exciting new features:

• 3" Tuft & Needle Adaptive® foam (3.5lb density) infused with ceramic gel
• 2" Tuft & Needle Adaptive® foam (3.0lb density) infused with graphite
• 6.5" High-density polyurethane foam foundation (1.8lb density)
• Four sides of edge support (1.8lb density).

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.

1. More Graphite
   30% extra graphite maximizes cooling, sweeping 50% more heat away from the body.
   2. Higher Quality Gel
   Upgraded Ceramic Gel absorbs 5 times more heat than conventional blue-gel products.
   3. Open Cell Technology
   Our open-cell foam technology is designed to allow air to flow freely through the mattress, increasing breathability.

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 three layers in the Mint® Mattress work together to provide remarkable support that you'll find comfortable immediately as well as throughout the night. We increased the softness of the top layer for better pressure relief, increased the firmness of the bottom support layer (for edge support), and added a middle transitional layer to keep you from "bottoming" out.

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.

1. Comfy Top Layer
   We optimized the top layer of Tuft & Needle Adaptive® Foam to be a progressive combination of comfy and pressure relieving.
   2. Cozy Cover
   A new thick, knit cover adds durability and coziness.
   3. Pressure Relief
   Our progressive support and super comfortable top layers are designed to remove pressure points and bring relief.

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.

1. Progressive Support
   Ordering our layers in a gradual firmness combines comfort and support. The more you push, the more it pushes back to meet you.
   2. More Gel Beads
   30% more gel beads in our second layer add cushion-like support.
   3. More Edge Support
   Our improved, firmer base layer adds comfortable edge support.

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.

Our ultra plush Mint® Mattress cover is made with polyester and viscose. It has a super soft, cozy touch and adds just a hint of cushion. Viscose is commonly known as rayon and is used in clothing. We ask that customers do not remove our cover at any time, as the cover is not designed to be removed for any reason. The zipper on the bottom of the mattress is for assembly only.
