Is the Eight Sleep Pod loud?

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.
