Eight Sleep

Eight Sleep is a sleep fitness technology company founded in 2014 that designs intelligent sleep systems combining temperature regulation, elevation and biometric tracking to optimise individual sleep and recovery. Its flagship product, The Pod, offers proprietary temperature control with dual-zone settings, elevation features, biometric sensing and automatic snoring reduction. The company reports clinically validated results of up to 34% more deep sleep.

The company's technical work spans temperature regulation technology, biometric tracking and sensing, sleep tracking and analytics, adjustable sleep surfaces, and personalised data-driven sleep optimisation, all delivered through connected consumer hardware. This pairing of sensing hardware with an ongoing data and analytics layer is central to the product: the system continuously adapts the sleep environment to the individual user rather than operating as a static appliance.

Eight Sleep has reached hundreds of thousands of customers across more than 30 countries, with its main market in the United States. It is venture-backed, with investors including Y Combinator, Founders Fund, Valor and Khosla Ventures. The company operates in the sleep technology, consumer health and wellness, fitness and recovery, and consumer electronics sectors.

Eight Sleep states a mission to fuel human potential through optimal sleep and is credited with pioneering the “sleep fitness” category. It was named one of Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies in 2018, 2022 and 2023, and has been featured in TIME’s Best Inventions of the Year. Its customer base includes professional athletes, high performers and health-conscious consumers, and the company emphasises science-backed, clinically validated outcomes.
