Eight Sleep, best known for its high-tech temperature-regulating mattresses, has released a new product that takes its signature cooling technology to the pillow. The new Pod Pillow Cover adds active temperature control to the one area that has always been left out of the company’s sleep system: your head.

The concept is simple. Instead of creating an entirely new pillow, Eight Sleep designed a cover that slides over the pillow you already use. Inside are ultra-thin channels that circulate water to keep the surface either cool or warm throughout the night.

No external chiller, no plumbing – just fill it up and plug it in. This new model looks to refine everything that came before it, especially when it comes to cooling speed, energy efficiency, and app integration.
