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.

Live and Sleep Classic

Does the L&S mattress resist dust mites?

L&S mattresses are made from high-density foam which doesn't provide a conducive environment for dust mites to thrive. However, it's recommended to use a mattress protector to increase defense against dust mites and prolong the life of the mattress.

Where is the L&S mattress made?

L&S mattresses are designed and crafted in the USA, but they are manufactured overseas.

Will my mattress from Live and Sleep fit my current bedroom furniture?

Yes, as long as you purchase the same size bed you currently sleep on. The Live and Sleep mattress will fit in all standard-size bedroom furniture. However, it's important to note that the purchase of a new Live & Sleep Mattress does not include a box spring or foundation.
