The brief
The brand in a paragraph.
Eight Sleep was founded in 2014 in California. The company makes smart mattresses with temperature control. Their Pod mattress tracks sleep and adjusts warmth throughout the night using water circulation. The feature drew attention from athletes and biohackers seeking sleep optimization. Today Eight Sleep sells primarily direct to consumers online and ranks fifth globally among gift brands. The mattress costs between two and four thousand dollars. They now appear across more than twenty-one thousand tracked brands.
