Full Smart Bed by Eight Sleep Mattress Review

Do you have problems staying warm at night? If so, then you should consider a mattress like the Smart Bed by Eight Sleep.

Out of the many great smart beds on the market, the Smart Bed by Eight Sleep stands out for its competitive features and reasonable price.

Built with an internal heater that can be programmed to a temperature of your choosing, never wake up cold again.

The Smart Bed by Eight Sleep is the more affordable version of its cousin, the Pod Mattress by Eight Sleep.

The main difference between the Smart Bed and the Pod is that the Smart Bed doesn’t contain the cooling features that the Pod has.

However, this mattress has the ability to connect with your smartphone and wake you up when you are only sleeping lightly. That way, you never wake up groggy again.

If you expect a premium mattress without spending your entire budget, the Smart Bed is a great option to keep in mind.

What Type of Mattress is the Smart Bed by Eight Sleep?

The Smart Bed by Eight Sleep is an above average premium mattress for those who want excellent features without paying the top dollar.

With an intuitive sleep tracking system, it waits until you are sleeping lightly before it triggers an alarm at the perfect moment.

It is especially great for people who have problems staying warm at night. 

If you live a cold climate, you will love the internal temperature control.

Just connect to your smartphone and you’re set to go. 

Keep Your Bed Warm in the Winter Cold

Need to save some money on your heating bill? The Smart Bed can help you turn your home’s central heating system off.

This bed has an internal heater which you can use on cold winter nights to keep yourself warm during your rest.

Best of all, the internal heater can separately control both sides of the bed.

This means that your partner can turn the heat off on their side while you use it on full blast to bundle up out of the cold.

Being able to split up the temperature helps partners get better sleep together on this mattress.

Intuitive Sleep Analytics & Wake Up

When you purchase this mattress, it comes with the ability to connect with your smartphone and help you track your sleeping habits.

The bed tracks your sleeping patterns to help you determine a sleeping schedule that keeps your body rested and ready for action when it’s time to wake up.

The bed has advanced sensors to know what stage of sleep you are in.

It strategically wakes you up near your target time at a point when you are sleeping lightly.

How Firm is this Mattress?

The Smart Bed has a medium level of firmness. On the firmness scale, it ranks up as a 5.5 out of 10.

With memory foam mattresses like this one, the struggle manufacturers face is finding a nice balance between firmness and softness.

In order to prevent motion transfer, and allow for optimum comfort, most people prefer foam mattresses like this one to be about as firm as this mattress is.

How Many Layers Does it Have?

This bed comes with three different layers of foam. This means that you can take the springs away from your back for good.

On top of the mattress, we have the Smart Cover. This is where the intuitive sensors are placed, and where the bed’s heater is.

The layers are built as follows:

1. Smart Cover with heating function
2. Responsive Foam 2″
3. Transition Foam 4″
4. High-Density Support Foam 4″

Once you go underneath the smart cover, the Smart Bed contains three different layers of foam.

The foam layers work together to provide back and hip support. Altogether, there are 10-inches of foam for you to rest on.

Does the Smart Bed Mattress Sleep Hot?

Remember that this is a bed designed for people who get cold while they are sleeping.

As a result, this bed can sleep as hot as it needs to.

In any case, turning the heat down on one side of the mattress while one partner sleeps on an unheated portion can help eliminate problems between partners.

How is Motion Transfer and Sinkage?

One of the reasons that people embrace foam beds a lot more these days is because they are really great at preventing motion transfer. 

This definitely holds true with the Smart Bed by Eight Sleep.

While moving during your sleep, the motion will not disturb your partner. Nor will they feel it.

Due to this mattresses medium firmness, you sink slightly into the bed. This is to help support parts of your body such as the hips and back.

One of the biggest frustrations with getting a new mattress is the chemical smell that the mattress comes with.

Although this may not be such a concern to some, others can unwanted side-effects from a mattress with a chemical smell.

In order to allow for the best sleeping experience, without chemical smell, you should let your Smart Bed air out before using it. 

Usually, a new mattress will be free of any chemical smell within a week or so of being taken out of its factory seal.
