EightSleep mattress cover is a GAME-CHANGER. Precise control over preferred temp, and detailed/accurate logging of sleep metrics == way better sleep, and knowledge of its relative quality (metrics for which let me measure the impact of different variables).
- SentientOctopus 2y agoNever heard of them, temperature control sounds amazing. How is this product from a privacy perspective? Is the data kept local or is it some cloud service that tracks all metrics?
- Dansvidania 2y agoNot sure about the privacy but afaik you can’t use the thing without the app and being connected to the internet. That was a dealbreaker for me
- SentientOctopus 2y agoThanks, that's exactly what I wanted to know!
- askvictor 2y agoIs it _that_ much better than a wifi-controlled two-zone electric blanket?
- chrisweekly 2y agoI've never tried a cooling electric blanket. My wife has struggled w insomnia for a long time, and the eightsleep tracking was almost as much a draw as the cooling.
- askvictor 2y agoThis does cooling too? OK, I didn't realise that. I can see how that might be useful
- idontwantthis 2y agoHow do they work thermodynamically? It should make the room hotter, but I guess you don’t notice because the surface you are touching gets colder? Is it a closed loop heat exchanger or is it evaporative?
