EDITOR'S PICK
Eight Sleep Pod 4 Ultra mattress cover and Hub
Eight Sleep

Pod 4 Ultra

The mattress cover that became standard in founder bedrooms - temperature regulation that actually works, now the value tier below the Pod 5 flagship.

Nitetronic A1 AI anti-snore smart pillow with control box
Nitetronic

A1 AI Anti-Snore Pillow

A smart pillow that, per Nitetronic, listens for snoring and, when it detects it, slowly inflates internal airbags to turn your head to the side. Nitetronic says that widens the gap between your tongue and throat and opens the airway, all without a mouthguard, strap, or mask. It is a genuinely different approach to snoring, and one worth sizing up carefully before you spend.
