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.

Shopping for a new mattress sounds simple until you start looking. Memory foam or hybrid? Soft or firm? Cooling covers, pressure-relief zones, motion isolation, sleep tracking — suddenly, you're comparing features that barely existed the last time you bought a bed. Even the most expensive option could be a poor match.
Amazon has been a major player in the smart home market for years, but fresh competition from Apple may have lit a fire under it. The company has just unveiled a new lineup of Alexa devices, including Echo speakers, a smart alarm clock, a photo frame, and the Echo Show 16. On the software side, Amazon also introduced Alexa Home Map, which puts your connected devices on an interactive 3D model of your house, letting you monitor and control them from one place.
Your entire smart home on a 3D map
Our phones have made it easy to capture our lives in beautiful photos. But that also means we shoot hundreds of photos every year and don't look at them, as they keep collecting the proverbial dust in our phone's gallery. Amazon’s new Alexa Photo Frame wants to put those forgotten shots on your shelf instead.
Amazon revealed the frame alongside several new Alexa devices, including a new smart alarm clock and a 16-inch Echo Show. It pulls pictures from Amazon Photos, which Prime members can fill up without paying extra for storage.
