Why you need Eight Sleep in your life

To maintain your active and productive lifestyle, you really need to enjoy a good night’s sleep. Granted, that’s not always possible. A late dinner out, an evening you simply don’t want to end, or being a young parent means life isn’t as simple as ‘let’s go to bed now’. While Eight Sleep can’t fix those kind of issues, it can help substantially to ensure your quality of sleep is exceptional. Such results come from its Pod Cover.

Available in different sizes to cater for your mattress size, the Eight Sleep Pod Cover simply slips on top of your existing mattress and performs miracles. Costing from $1,895 depending on the size you need, it’s the best investment you’re likely to make for a while.

Through the autopilot subscription service which costs either $15 per month for the Standard plan or $24 per month for Enhanced, you can be in full control of how you sleep. As standard, you get automatic temperature adjustments so you never end up too hot or cold. It does this through tracking the local weather, sleep stages, and a bunch of other key metrics. It’s possible to sleep as cold as 55F right up to 110F depending on your preferences. Inappropriate temperatures are one of the main factors in affecting your sleep so enjoying the perfect temperature for you is, well, perfect.

Besides temperature adjustments, the Eight Sleep Pod Cover also reports back on your sleep and health throughout the night. It monitors your heart rate, heart rate variability, sleep cycles, and respiratory rate. Its comprehensive sensors use such information to help you fall asleep faster and stay asleep for longer so you wake up more energized.

On a practical level, it can also gently shake you up with customizable chest-level vibration and a gradual thermal change, so you wake up comfortably rather than alarmed. Sharing a bed with someone isn’t an issue either as Autopilot works well for both people, adjusting accordingly for each side of the bed.

Not at all! If you’ve already spent time researching and investing in one of the best types of mattress https://www.themanual.com/culture/best-mattresses-health-experts/ for your body, you don’t have to go to the effort of getting things right again. Instead, the Eight Sleep Pod Cover fits over your existing setup. Although, if you do wish to buy a mattress at the same time, you can add Eight Sleep’s 5-layer mattress to your purchase. It offers medium firmness, 11-inch mattress height, pressure relieving materials, and excellent airflow.

What Eight Sleep Pod Cover options are available?

The Eight Sleep Pod Cover is available in three different varieties. There’s the Pod 2 Cover which fits 10 to 11-inch mattresses, while there’s the Pod 3 Cover which fits the same size. Also, there’s the Pod 3 Cover with PerfectFit which promises to fit all bed sizes and offer increased comfort.

All the Pod Covers offer individualized cooling and heating, along with sleep and health tracking, and vibration and thermal alarm options. The Pod 2 Cover is the basic model offering solely this, while the Pod 3 Cover adds on improved comfort which should suit the majority of people. If you have an unusual sized mattress, check out the Pod 3 Cover with PerfectFit.

Get the “Extraction” body before Chris Hemsworth’s threequel
Extraction Workout

Movies lied to me when I was a kid. When I joined the Army, I had dreams of being an Army Ranger. Too many movies made me think I could be a special operator and maybe even get myself a great nickname like the GI Joes. Instead, I told one of the sergeants of my aspirations, and he flat out said I wouldn’t make it. Not that I couldn’t do it, but that they wouldn’t let me. I was too big. 6’5″ and 220 pounds was going to require too many calories. You see, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, and Dwayne Johnson made me think that the elite soldiers needed to be hulking giants. Or world-class martial artists like Bruce Lee, Chuck Norris, or Jean-Claude Van Damme. And since I couldn’t do a roundhouse, I decided to follow the more practical path of the everyman like Bruce Willis, Nic Cage, and Tom Cruise.

You see, special operators need to be agile. They need mobility. That is why Chris Hemsworth adopted a workout with that goal to prepare for his third turn as Tyler Rake in his new Netflix film, Extraction 3.

Ditching the boring golf gear: Travis Mathew and Liberty London collaborate to bring personality to the course
Chair, Furniture, Person

I remember watching golf when I was a kid; everyone, and I mean everyone, looked the same. There are rules on a golf course. A collared shirt, no denim, a very specific look is what they go for. It is tradition, and tradition is hard to argue with. Then came Tiger Woods and John Daly. Tiger found a way to make this boring tradition a uniform. You could see the red Nike polo and black pants and knew exactly who it was. Daly? Well, he went the other way and patterns became a wild calling card. Travis Mathew and Liberty London found a way to mix both of these concepts to bring a bold new look to the game of golf.

What makes this collaboration particularly exciting is seeing Liberty’s heritage designs and colour language brought into the world of golf in such a fresh way. The striking print combinations, considered handfeel, and balance of high-performance golfwear with relaxed lifestyle pieces create a collaboration that feels both unexpected and distinctly Liberty. – Pere Bruach, Design Manager at Liberty London
