FAQs

Venus Williams Legend

Who should get the Venus Williams mattress?

The Venus Williams Legend mattress is suitable for anyone who wants a good night's sleep.

Over a few weeks, you'll find that you're waking up with more energy and ready to face the day, regardless of what's on your schedule.

Do the Venus Williams mattresses come with a sleep trial?

Do the Venus Williams mattresses have a warranty?

Yes, they do. Your Venus Williams mattress comes with an industry-leading 25-year warranty, provided you have proof of purchase from the official GhostBed website or an authorized retailer.

Eight the Pod Max

Will Eight Sleep help me assemble the Pod?

The Pod is controlled through the Eight Sleep app on your smartphone or tablet via a wifi connection. The app will guide you through each step of the setup process, making it as easy as 1, 2, 3!

How long can I keep the mattress in a box?

Due to the nature of foam, it is recommended that the mattress portion of The Pod should not be kept in the box for more than two weeks after delivery. If kept in the box longer, the foam expansion may be affected.

Can I use a mattress protector over the Pod?

Yes, you can use any mattress protector of your choice! It can be placed over the foam mattress or the technology layer, though it is recommended to protect the technology layer. The Pod Protector, made from wood pulp obtained from eucalyptus trees, is designed to fit perfectly onto the Pod, right under your bed sheets.
