|---|---|---|
| Layers | Airflow Top Layer, Supportive Air Technology, FlexSpring technology core, Durable Premium Base | Organic Cotton Ticking, JOMA® New Zealand Wool, Natural Hydrated Silica Fire Barrier, Leggett & Platt Quantum Edge® Elite Combi-Zone®, Soft Natural Dunlop Latex |
| Cover | The Pod has a soft premium knit cover with enhanced breathability. | For a luxurious and premium finish, we use a breathable organic cotton / poly-blend 4-way stretch-knit (rather than a traditional weave) in a soft, natural color, and GOTS-certified by our supplier. Sourced from the United States, this durable textile is button-tufted by hand with wool yarn rosettes, which secure the cotton ticking and internal mattress layers firmly in place without the use of chemical adhesives. We also use hand-stitched tape edges (double stitched) and heavy-duty upholstered handles to complete the package. |
| Machine-washable cover | No | No |
| Ergonomic handles | No | Yes |
| Comfort | The only smart mattress with advanced cooling and heating technology designed to help you fall asleep faster and keep you asleep. | Wool does what other materials can not - it wicks away moisture, stays fresh, and acts as a natural fire barrier. It's also naturally anti-microbial, resistant to dust mites, and offers natural temperature control (to complement our natural latex). Our Joma New Zealand Wool's quality is some of the best in the world. |
| Support | Dual-Zone Cooling & Heating. Independently set each side of the bed to anywhere between 55°F-110°F. Schedule on and off times from the Eight Sleep app. Advanced Sleep Tracking. Individual sleep tracking on each bed side, supporting two sleepers. Metrics include sleep stages, sleep time, toss and turns, and more. | The Avocado Green Mattress is GREENGUARD Gold Certified - and made with natural and organic materials, including 100% natural Dunlop latex from tree-tapped and sustainable sources; OEKO-TEK Standard 100 certified natural New Zealand wool; and GOTS certified organic cotton. Our non-toxic green bed combines the finest natural cushioning with an internal, zoned, pressure-point support system for proper back support and extended durability. We even make a new Vegan Mattress made without wool. The Avocado Green Mattress features an 8-inch support unit comprised of 756 - 1,414 individually-tuned support coils to ensure proper spinal alignment and balance. These fabric-encased innersprings (made from recycled steel) are arranged in 3 distinct zones with a reinforced perimeter to float independently and reduce motion transfer. This premium, highly durable system allows for optimal and individualized ergonomic and joint support, while at the same time, better contouring to your body shape and evenly distributing weight. Better still, the reinforced perimeter provides critical edge support to eliminate the "roll-off" feeling near the edge. |

FAQs
Eight the Pod
Is the Eight Sleep Pod loud?
The Eight Sleep Pod operates very quietly. Even when the Hub is adjusting the water temperature in the mattress, it only produces a soft whirring sound.
How does the Eight Sleep Pod work?
The Eight Sleep Pod Pro's Hub functions as a computer and pump. It cools and heats the water in the mattress's Active Grid. The temperature of the mattress can be controlled via the Eight Sleep app.
How firm is the Eight Sleep Pod?
The Eight Sleep Pod is considered to be of "medium-firm" level. It is best suited for stomach, back, and combination sleepers.
Avocado Green
How Are the Layers of Your Avocado Green Mattress Topper Constructed?
The Avocado Green Organic Latex Mattress Topper, which is GREENGUARD Gold Certified®, is made up of 2 inches of GOLS organic certified Dunlop latex. It's covered with organic cotton ticking and organic wool (or organic cotton for the vegan option), and is available in plush or firm options.
Can I Use an Electric Heating Mattress Pad?
Yes, you can use a heating pad with your Avocado Mattress at a low to moderate setting. However, prolonged and repeated use may cause discoloration of the exterior ticking, which is not covered by the warranty. For optimal warmth, it's recommended to use high-quality natural and organic bedding instead of an electric mattress pad.
How Bouncy Is Your Mattress?
Avocado mattresses offer a light bounce and limited motion transfer, making them ideal for couples and active sleepers. The mattresses are responsive yet offer excellent motion control, stability, and flexibility due to their premium 100% GOLS-certified organic latex.
