VIDEO Review: Eight Mattress + Sleep Tracker, Made With Smart Technology, Plus HOT Promo Code Offer!!!

As parents of a one year old, we DESPERATELY need whatever bits of sleep we can get. Although we have a mattress that is only a couple of years old, we decided to try the new Eight mattress, made with smart technology. They even have options that will allow you to track your sleep, wake up with silent alarms, heat one side of the bed, and more! I was very excited to find a mattress that was “designed with couples in mind” since both of us are up multiple times, whether with the baby, work schedules, or whatever, and this would hopefully help us from waking each other up more than we were already getting up.

I was a little skeptical of ordering a mattress online, but all of the reviews for this one are great, so I just went for it. I was not prepared, however, for what arrived. Hubby thought it was a water heater; this large box, just 18″ x 18″ came in, and I couldn’t believe that it was a mattress!

Opening up the top panels revealed instructions on how to unroll the insides, but it was pretty self-explanatory. We removed the mattress from inside the box, and laid it on the box spring. The mattress had been SUPER vacuum sealed, and was less than an inch thick. As soon as we cut the plastic, the whole thing sprung up to 10″ thick; a full sized, ready to go, mattress!

The mattress is very firm, but it is definitely not hard. I laid down on the mattress while my son was jumping on the corner as we had first unrolled it, and I could not feel him moving; a great first sign! Our sheets and everything fit the mattress perfectly; this is a standard size, foam mattress. It is available in twin, queen, king, and California king, so it will be an easy swap. We have been using it now for about 2 weeks, and I have noticed a DRASTIC improvement on the quality of our sleep. When one of us gets up in the middle of the night, it has not yet woken the other person. In addition, when one of us is tossing and turning (*AHEM* hubby!), it doesn’t wake me up either. I have also been wearing a sleep tracker for the past month, and the amount of “restless” time that I am in bed (not necessarily awake, but I am not sleeping soundly) has been cut in half. We also used to have a pillow top mattress before, which had a hard edge to it where the pillow top met the mattress, making the edges uncomfortable to lay on (or leave your leg out); this mattress is absolutely seamless.

I have never tried a foam mattress, but I don’t think I will EVER go back to a different kind. This one is made with “smart technology“, where Eight has logged thousands of hours of test sleep and made the perfect mattress to get the most sound night’s sleep. There are four layers to this mattress to help support and contour to your body:

In addition, there is another layer that you can add for “smarter sleep”. This includes a smart alarm, white noise player, bed temperature, and more! This works like absolute magic, and would be a great addition to the Eight mattress (or even your current mattress!).

We have been using the Eight Sleep Tracker for about a week now and LOVE it. This sleep tracker fits our Eight Mattress perfectly, but the tracker can accommodate different thickness of mattresses if you don’t have an Eight Mattress. Setup was SUPER easy; literally the first instruction was “remove items from box”, so I knew that I was going to be able to handle this one. There are even labels on “top left side”, as well as different lights for different steps of the setup process. After setting up the sleep tracker, you put on your regular sheets, and you are ready to go. There is a heating function that will allow you to heat each side independently, which is perfect for our home since I like the bed a nice warm bed, and my husband hates it being warm. The warming function, as well as the rest of the functions, can all be accessed through the smart phone app. The sleep tracker will track your sleeping patterns, and all of that information will go to your phone to review in the morning. Each day I get an alert that my sleep report is available, and I can see how well I slept with a simple score, or I can check out my entire night’s sleep with their easy to read graphs. Eight shows how often (and when!) you were tossing and turning, when you had your deep sleep, when you were awoken in the middle of the night, etc. This is very useful when you are trying to figure out the best time to get to bed, or the optimal waking time. It is also very helpful to see when both my husband and I wake up at the same time, as that means that there was probably an outside noise that woke us up. In addition to the tracking functions, the Eight app also has white noise capabilities, breathing exercises, sleep experiments (which allow you to rate how you are feeling throughout the day to help determine optimal sleeping times), and you can even connect this to your smart devices. That means that if you want the lights to dim around bed time, your tracker can connect to those. If you want your lights to get brighter in the morning and have your smart coffee maker start at a certain time, those will connect as well!
Overall, I love this tracker. It gives me a nice warm bed to crawl into at night, and gives us the information that we need on a daily basis to help get the best night sleep possible. Especially with crazy job schedules and a toddler, we need all of the GOOD sleep that we can get, and this was a great step for us to get that!
