Get straight to the top tech—no junk, just the best.
For some people it can take a little more than the best fitness trackers have to offer in order to get a consistent good night’s rest. The Eight Sleep Pod and the entire Eight Sleep lineup allow any mattress to become a smart mattress, and while several Eight Sleep competitors have come and gone over the years, there are a few Eight Sleep alternatives on the market to consider. We’ve done the heavy lifting of tracking them down, and have whittled them down to what we consider to be the best Eight Sleep alternatives currently on the market.
The ChiliSleep Cube Sleep System is the best Eight Sleep alternative on the market because it offers a nice balance of quality, capability, and affordability. A good Eight Sleep alternative is going to be expensive, and while the ChiliSleep Cube Sleep System ranges in price depending on the size of the mattress you’re looking to fit, it still comes in at prices that compete well with Eight Sleep’s offerings. This system uses water to cool the pad and has active temperature management technology to provide you with the sleeping temperature you find most comfortable. It has a remote control and the option for dual zone cooling is available.
The BedJet 3 is the runner-up best Eight Sleep alternative. It utilizes powered ventilation cooling and heating as opposed to liquid cooling and heating. This can make it a little bit louder than other options, but it works quickly to warm or cool the bed, and its heating mode gives a deep, sauna-like warmth in just seconds. Biorhythm sleep technology enables automated smart temperature controls, allowing you to program different temperature settings for each hour of the night. This is a great option for people who run cold or hot and it’s a safer alternative to electric blankets.
We think the best budget Eight Sleep alternative on the market is the Neat AquaPad CozyFlow. And while it doesn’t have cooling functionality, its capabilities as a bed heating option are pretty impressive. It has 15 different smart features that include temperature-controlled digital heating, child lock, auto shut-off sleep mode, and anti-freeze. Neat oven stands by its products to an extreme degree, and loves its customers. Should the price of the AquaPad CozyFlow drop within six months of your purchase, Neat is committed to honoring the difference.

We enjoy a good night’s sleep as much as anyone, which is why we’ve had our eye on Eight Sleep and Eight Sleep alternatives for some time. We’re also constantly keeping an eye out for the best smart home devices, so we’re pretty familiar with options available to anyone looking for a good night’s rest with the help of modern tech.
When it comes to making our selections for the best Eight Sleep alternatives, we’ve narrowed things down to a few features we consider most important. The amount of noise the product produces is important, as it doesn’t do much good to trade comfort for noise. As well, the quality of the product is important. There are a lot of junk mattress toppers and bed heating and cooling systems out there, and our aim is to present the best Eight Sleep alternatives that will work well and hold up over time.

Fiber vs cable internet: What’s the difference, and is it worth switching?
What Are the Benefits of Fiber Internet Over Traditional Cable?

Home internet connections have to work a lot harder nowadays. One single connection is torn between 4K streams, video conferences, online gaming, and cloud backups. Take into account the ever-growing collection of connected devices, households are demanding a lot more from their broadband connections now.
Apple’s next home robot could turn its screen to follow you, but it might cost you $1,000 to do so
A smart display that pans, watches, and decides.
Remember the hopping Pixar lamp that famously squashes the letter “I” in the studio logo at the beginning of almost every Pixar movie? Apple may be building something similar, except this Pixar-inspired device won't actually hop or roll around your room.
Instead, its motorized robotic arm could swivel the screen around (basically moving it left to right, or vice versa, on an axis). According to a new report from The Information, the Cupertino giant is working on a larger, robotic version of its recently-announced HomeView smart display, and it might arrive as soon as next year.
Apple might be turning its HomeView into a security camera, and it makes perfect sense
HomeView's built-in camera might soon have a few more uses beyond FaceTime calls.
Apple’s recently unveiled HomeView smart display could also function as a home security camera, according to a new finding in its software. The device, which already has a built-in camera for FaceTime calls and facial recognition, could supposedly use the same hardware for motion detection, live streaming, and video recording through HomeKit Secure Video.
The feature was spotted by a Reddit user in the settings files of HomeView Software 27.2 (via TheVerge). Apple hasn’t officially announced anything about it yet, but the references suggest there are going to be a few more uses for the built-in camera.
