3 Alternatives To Eight Sleep
- The SleepMe Dock Pro, though often out-of-stock, is the most similar product to Eight Sleep. Similar to the Eight Sleep Cover, the SleepMe Dock Pro is a water-powered mattress pad that heats and cools your body, and can track health factors and use AI for adjustments, if you add the Tracker to your order
- What the ReST Bed lacks in cooling and heating, has in terms of comfort. This smart bed offers 5 firmness zones that adjust to your movements through AI and allow you to rest in the best possible position
- The BedJet is a totally different system, that uses cool or hot air blown into a bed sheet, to ensure that you sleep at a comfortable temperature all night long
1- SleepMe Dock Pro
The Dock Pro is SleepMe’s newest and most performing bed cooling technology to date. In a similar fashion to past bed cooling systems, the Dock Pro is a water-powered mattress pad that fits on top of your mattress and provides the heating or cooling surface you desire.
System Design
When purchasing a SleepMe Dock Pro, you are receiving three items: the actual control unit called Dock Pro, the improved water-powered mattress pad called ChiliPad Pro Mattress Cover, and access to the free sleepme app.
The ChiliPad Pro Mattress Cover is a cooling mattress pad that comes has a half-bed coverage, or full bed fitting, depending whether you purchase a “Me” or a “We” unit. When getting the “We” unit, each partner will have their own Dock Pro unit, allowing them to control their side of bed’s temperature and temperature schedule. The improved ChiliPad Pro Mattress Cover has no water tubes, electrical connections or wires, and is only 1/8 inches (3.2 mm) thick, so you virtually don’t feel it. It is designed to fit mattresses 8 to 18 inches thick.
The Dock Pro control unit is a rectangular unit 15 inches wide, 12 inches long, and 6.25 inches high, which should fit under most bed bases. While it has a buttons allowing you to adjust the unit’s temperature from the unit itself, it is typically controlled with the sleepme app.
Performance / Functionality
The SleepMe Dock Pro can achieve temperatures of 55 to 115 degrees Fahrenheit (13 to 46 Celcius) and only produces 41 to 46 decibel of noise at 30 centimeters from the unit.
The sleepme app is a free app allowing you to control the Dock Pro unit from afar. Start heating or cooling your bed from the living room, set a temperature from the car before coming in late, and even set temperature schedules to keep you deep asleep throughout the night. My favorite part? SleepMe is working on an Alexa (or other connected devices) voice controlled application to allow you to control the unit!
Cost
Lastly, note that in order for the SleepMe Dock Pro to be a close Eight Sleep alternative, you need to add the SleepMe Sleep Tracker to your order. The thin tracker pad is placed under your bed sheet and allows you to keep track of health metrics such as sleep stages, respiration rates, heart rate variability, and more. The Sleep Tracker also unleashes the power of AI, allowing the SleepMe Dock Pro to adjust its temperature based on your movement and sleep phases during the night.
Overall, when purchasing a “We” double-sided Dock Pro and adding the Sleep Tracker, this bed cooling system is nearly exactly the same price as the Eight Sleep Cover. It is a very close contender.
2- ReST Bed
Note: ReST is currently not accepting orders. We expect the company to resume shipping soon.
System Design
The ReST Bed is an actual mattress, more similar to the Eight Sleep Pod, whereas the SleepMe Dock Pro is a mattress pad, added on top of your existing mattress, more similar to the Eight Sleep Cover.
The ReST Bed is a 13-inch mattress that comes with 5 body zones on either side of the bed. Each body zone is filled with air chambers that compress and decompress individually to adjust to your body’s position and provide the exact amount of pressure relief and support you need with real-time response.
The mattress is an all-memory foam mattress with the top 4 inches infused with cooling gel it for added comfort and cool sleep. The foam does not trap your body heat and sleeps temperature neutral
The ReST app connect to your mattress to give you live pressure readings, lets you change the firmness of each zone of the mattress underneath you, and choose from 3 modes of operation.
Performance / Functionality
The firmness customization is nearly infinite. With 5 zones on each side, each sleeper can choose from over 2.5M firmness combinations, for the perfect fit no mattress your body shape, body size, sleeping position, or personal firmness preference.
Use the app to set up your preferred firmness, then choose from 3 modes:
- Manual: lets you adjust each zone based on your personal preference
- Position: lets you record firmness configurations for 2 sleeping positions (i.e., back and side) and allows the bed to adjust on its own as it feels your position changing during the night
- Automatic: turn it over to the ReST Bed’s AI. Let’s you choose a general firmness preference (i.e., soft, medium, firm). From there, the ReST Bed’s AI adjusts all air chamber zones based on the pressure applied by your body, to ensure all areas of your body are supported and relieved of pressure, as needed
Cost
The ReST Bed is significantly more expensive that any Eight Sleep alternatives, or the Eight Sleep itself. Note that it does come with white-glove delivery to your room of choice, but you will need to invest in a bed cooling system if you are after cooling/ heating customization. The ReST Bed also lacks sleep and health metric tracking, compared to the Eight Sleep and SleepMe Dock Pro with Sleep Tracker.
3- BedJet
System Design
The BedJet’s main control unit is 5.75″ tall and fits under your bed if you have at least 6″ of clearance. The collapsible hose attaches to the back end of the unit and is held in place by an adjustable bracket. and a hose extension can be purchased if your bed is located far from the plug.
The app allows you to set up a sleep schedule, which is helpful to combat nighttime hot flashes if they regularly happen around the same time.
Performance / Functionality
The BedJet is designed to regulate temperatures between 66°F and 104°F. Since the BedJet blows room air in your sheets, if you are purchasing it to sleep cool, note that your room should be no warmer than 79 degrees, or it will have a hard time regulating down to 66°F, but the feeling of moving air, and the ability of the BedJet to dry moisture off of your body, will greatly help reduce your body’s heat and help you sleep comfortably, even on hot nights. If you are are using your BedJet 3 on cold nights to warm your feet and body, you will surely enjoy the heating function, no matter the temperature in your room.
Purchasing a Dual Zone BedJet comes with two hoses and the ability for each sleeper to control the temperature of his/her side of the bed.
One large benefit of the BedJet is that it will work on any mattress, mattress size, bed sheet, etc. There are no restriction as it works a bit like a fan – delivering air flow all around your body.
Cost
Overall, the BedJet is a much cheaper option than any other Eight Sleep alternative on this list. It lacks, however, AI functionality, as well as sleep and health metric tracking.

Why is spinal alignment important?
Proper spinal alignment is important because it supports good posture, reduces the risk of pain and injury, improves mobility, and promotes optimal nervous system function. It helps distribute the body's weight evenly and allows for efficient movement and coordination.
How can I assess if my spine is properly aligned?
A healthcare professional, such as a chiropractor or physical therapist, can assess your spinal alignment through a physical examination, posture analysis, and possibly imaging tests. They can identify any misalignments or imbalances and provide appropriate recommendations based on their findings.
