The $2500 USD mattress also requiring a subscription to an app is the definition of bullshit....
A good night sleep has so many benefits...... honestly priceless
jeez, you sponsored by them? xD@@dabd8175
Yeah you paid for all the hardware and then you have to pay monthly just to be able to access the hardware you own and paid so much for is just a rip off
Who wants to bet the hardware doesn't work anymore once the company runs out of money.
Just give me control of the hardware settings, who cares about the data tracking, you could do that with a $20 Fitbit
@@dundeedideley1773 Yeah, personally I think that any device like this, *especially* one that costs so much, should have a fully documented API I can access directly, so if I wanted I could bypass their app and control the thing entirely from some custom Python scripts or something. But at the very least, if I'm spending thousands on the device, I expect the app to be free, charging a monthly subscription just to use the thing I already paid for is BS.
‘The first blood relative I’ve ever seen’ … blew me away (very nearly shed a man tear).
Different circumstances but my children are my only relatives too. Congratulations. Enjoy every moment of it.
One suggestion … have a couple … you’ll like at least one of them that way 😂😂😂 (joking, being a dad is absolutely the best thing ever)
Anything for the "bebe"
Yes just what I want, my bed to use electricity
And water... together 😂
I don't mind my bed using electricity - (after all I LOVE my electric blanket - ) - but what alarms me is electricity AND water - water AND electricity - which ever way you consider it *sleeping* on that combo - nah mate, nah
@@juliaconnell you could even submerge electronics if you prepare it appropriately with something called conformal coating.
@@zednik8956well... ok... I totally believe you that this is true, and therefore safe - something tells me that this particular device (granted, of which I know nothing about) does NOT employ conformal coating
Oh no, James is loving an app with numbers and graphs and bars 😂
Appreciated the no bullshit review.
That skeleton has been fasting too long.
FFS! I want one now lol
shame they aren't £200-£300 as that's my poor ass budget .
fancy that!
each morning, the manufacturers' own app tells you that you had a great sleep!
whoever would have thought!
these cooling mattresses are junk technology of very dubious accuracy and supposed benefit
Idc about mattress temp brah. I just plop on surface and sleep for 3 or so hours and i don't care about covers or whatever. My kids got bed side bassinets and I just hand the little one over when its hungry, burp and it set it back to sleep. Don't over think it bro.
4k and then 30 a month for the app plus the energy bills, I’ll wait for the boys in Shanghai to knock this off first
lmao gonna use this phrase at some point; thank you for either coining it or using it
But apparently, the energy bills are offset by raising the aircon settings.
I was lucky enough to receive one free. The first few days were amazing. It was really cold. Then that coldness started to dissipate. Then the unit started to make a noise. A loud noice. The company replaced the unit - but the noice persisted. Meaning it was probably an issue with the mattress cover. In the end I stopped. The app was free also, and now you need a subscription. When it worked it was beautiful. You'll also notice an increase in energy bills as these things aren't cheap to run for 8 plus hours a day.
Compared to an AC how´s the cost?
@@SprayNpreyT Dude, I think the AC would beat it out. That monthly cost + energy bills.
@@SprayNpreyTWAY less than AC. Even a window unit uses about 750 watts. The Pod 3 I have uses about 80 watts.
How you got it for free?
@@ClassyLifeHe is a very successful Social Media Influencer.
I need a comparison between this cover and sleeping on 2,500 dollar bills
I can comment on this, I slept on $2500 of coins…….it was terrible
monthly subscription for a mattress cover is one of the maddest things I've heard in a long time
“Men often want to be warmer than women…” what wildebeests have you been with, mate?
He said above as a reply that was reversed on accident
00:34 I think you said that back to Front. Women always want to be warmer, and men always want to be cooler.
My bad
And here I was thinking James just called me a beta male
Yeah I've never heard a complaint about being too warm, that complaint comes from me
So relieved to see @JamesSmithPT admit that it was a slip of the tongue and I'm not the beta I fear I am...
i was gonna say i was dating this girl who said the same thing she likes to be warm and i told her i like to keep the window open and freeze haha.
"Like my new born. Yeah there are some positives, but you can't escape that cost" Lol
😮
As an adopted person myself I can tell you; you will better understand yourself and better connect with people, having a child. It is the hardest and most rewarding thing ever. It will make you a better person. The days are long and the years are short. A heart felt congratulations to you.
I usually love your videos but this ain’t it at all. I don’t car if this mattress does finish you off in the morning. No normal person can justify 4k + $30 a month?! Insane.
Let me tell you that your kid, in this day and age, is never gonna leave home! 😂
I really like the idea of this, but if not the overall cost is what puts me off, it's the subscription. I'm so sick and tired of having a god damn subscription for everything even down to a fucking door bell!
Joe Wicks vid in the background ahahah
this guy acting like hes not the millionaire this mattress was marketed to LOL
Would be nice to also get a 3 months update or something like that
This is literally the only Chanel I trust with reviewing products
The cost will linger, until the company goes under and the app will no longer work. On the upside you won't have to pay the $15 a month, on the downside you'll be left with a $2500 mattress protector.
CON: from now on, you will never sleep well in another bed without an 8sleep 😅 I’ve been using it for 4 years now and I love it, but my sleep during holidays is much worse!
Hadn’t thought of this!!
What happened to rich roll. He sleeps or slept on his roof in a tent. Maybe he was AI generated
I’ve gone from thinking ‘hmmm not sure I like this guy’ many years ago may I add.
To seeing you on podcasts, interviews on mainstream media in the UK and then this video right here…
Massively changed my opinion. Honest, funny and genuinely care about helping others.
Can tell you’ll absolutely smash being a dad out the park.
And I just sit here wondering why on earth you felt some need to make this video.. well.. unless you were paid.. which you claim you werent. Well then why praise it so much with happy music in the background? Its just not adding up.
I was starting to wonder where you were mate. I always want more James Smith but I dont want worse James Smith. Great content as usual.
Hey dude, the baby wont freeze in the temperature you sleep in.
Babies dont sleep naked so you can put some clothes on him/her.
In nordic countries babies sleep outside when it is actually freezing as in below zero.
Yeah I also did not get that part. Put a kettle in the bed. That's it.
I have night sweats that constantly wake me up. I've had a water-cooled mattress topper (Ooler) and it's changed my life. It didn't cost £2500 but i'd pay £10k for the difference it's made to my life.
Facts. Same here man.
Thank you for sharing an alternative. Nice to know there are other options for mattress coolers. I don’t need nor do I want an app to track sleep stats, just looking for a temperature change without having to make the rest of the family freeze at night.
Ooler was the OG they used to sponsor the Mindpump podcast. I bought the single bed one first then after a couple of years I gave it to my daughter and i bought a kingsized one. Deffo recomend getting one the same size as your bed otherwise it can move around under the cover. @@Dust4Vomit
Why would you pay 10k when you can get one for 2.5k?
$2k for ooler cooler and 1yr warranty but you get manual on device control if the company dissolves/app breaks.
Your review pushed me over the edge to get it and I LOVE IT. It has been an absolute game changer.
My exes have all complained that sleeping next to me was like sleeping next to a furnace. I'd love to have one of these, but I think forcing a subscription is asinine. Maybe I'll look at one of those under-sheet cold air blowers instead.
Bedjet. Worth it. No subscription. You buy a remote and you're set. Also roughly 6 times cheaper than this at $300-400 USD on sale.
It has a cost of $2,500, you have to pay a subscription to use it/keep using it, there is no way the app can accurately track your sleep data like that, and the software/hardware will likely stop working if the company were to ever go out of business, which is a possibility because you'd have to be insane to buy this product. I'mma pass on this one.
Paying a monthly subscription and both kidneys upfront to sleep is bonkers.
Great review btw.
Ugh, I hate that you love this. If it was a reasonable price and/or the app was free (AS IT SHOULD BE) then I'd actually buy it.
Congratulations on your wonderful news. Having and raising a child is the hardest, but best experience ever. 🎉
If anyone wants to try a far cheaper alternative first, i recommend linen sheets. Far better for temperature regulation than cotton or the unbreathable hell that is polyester. I used to wake up from sweats every night but since switching to linen i havent had that problem once.
Does it come with a lifetime warranty, especially if you have to pay a subscription? Sort of thing I can imagine going wrong after about 18 months and need a repair.
2 year warranty. They have two subscription models - expensive and very expensive. If you choose the very expensive one (and keep it) warranty is extended to 5 years (but you also end pay around 50% or more of the initial product price in subscription fee over the 5 years.
I have the 8sleep Pod 3 cover with the very expensive subscription. I love the cover but hate the subscription model.
the biggest problem that it cools your bed and the same time warms ear in bedroom...
'mattress cover for a millionaire'
If I was a millionaire, I'd have two single mattresses together: one for my Mrs' to be warm; one, more porous, for me.
Either that, or, just use a thin duvet.
This is such a scammy rip-off. A solution in search for a problem.
2 single mattresses (one firm and one soft) then 2 duvets like the scandi countries do. Awesome
Bro tried to sneak in Neutonic...
Amazing tech. All I have to do now is wait for like 3 years until Xiaomi comes up with their own stuff at a third of the price, and definitely with a free app haha.
fucking hell james what happened man ...
credit card - ah sh!t here we go again
I’m very happy with chilipad dock pro. It’s super cold!!!
What if you simply don't use a blanket? Sleep naked.
Put a blanket on top of you and cool underneath - what an idea! :D
I just save you $2500 + the price of the blanket
$2500 to make a monetized video as part of a limited business? Bro you can just right off that $2500 :D As a business expense
The subscription model is just becoming ridiculous... 😮
Dude, people literally put their babies outside to sleep in -20c and it's actually good for them. Very common in Scandinavia, look into it
How does he fall asleep in 5 mins
Lmao at the app ranking your sleep score so highly consistently. I wonder if they have any incentive to lie about how well their product works. They might just have 2500 incentives per purchase, and 30 additional incentives every month per purchase 😂
Thermal regulation happens if you slept on the floor too, and a queen size futon + everything else required would cost like 2k total.
Massive ripoff ah.
"Men want to be warmer than women" ?? This goes against every stereo type I've ever heard. Women are always too cold, and men are always too hot. BEETTAAA
Subscription mattress?
No thank you, no matter how good it is.
If you have to pay to use it, it’s not yours, you’re just renting it.

@@notyourdamnbusiness8795oh yeah I know that... just that there's never been a non sponsored take on it. and I really want to see james rip into it too (if it is horrible)
@@kamo7293 after looking it up: its not horrible per se......just horribly overpriced.
its 10 bucks for like 200 grams of cereal.....WTF???
Thanks for buying something So I Don’t Have To
You could also buy a
iPhone 15 Pro
The new iPad Pro M4
Apple Watch Series 9
For the same price.
At least cut the price in half.
This also requiring a subscription! WTF. Love The Video James, Makes my day all the time
There’s exactly ZERO chance, that I will “subscribe” in order to use the 8 Sleep. ZERO.
I picked one of these up (delivery driver) as a customers return, he said it was shit lol, hence the return and yeh the box is fkn ridiculously heavy
£2500, subscription. Those costs have robbed a child of the supplements James would recommend. 😓
If this doesn't work out. Know that you can keep the baby warm just fine as well.
In Scandinavian countries it's quite normal to have a baby outside in their stroller in freezing temps.
Unbelievable how much these companies are charging for water pumps lmao. Then the subscription just to twist the dagger 😂
If I had "fuck you money" I would defs buy one lol!! Sleeping cold would be gloooorious. You're going to be such good parents 🥰🥰🥰🥰
I would absolutely not recommend this to other people coz this is such a great idea that no way competition won't come out with better priced products in the future. Hopefully they don't follow suit and software block your mattress cover with a subscription.
right? i dont want all the frills and features, if i could just get one that can circulate the heat off me im pretty sure thatd be good enough
Unfortunately way out of my price range 😟. It would be great for menopausal women who get night sweats. I think I’ll wait until competition drives the price down 😂
Like many, the subscription turned me right off even if I could afford it.
Business class really does fuck it all. People who fly economy blow my mind. You couldn't pay me £10k to fly just one way in economy long hall
1000 thread count Sheets will do the same... Get a scandinavian down comforter - a good one. Your sleep worries will be over!
Anyone else thought James bought PCs or PC cases?
This is literally designed for top 1% people who can afford to throw thousands around like nothing for a tiny bit of optimisation. Doesn’t seem worth it for your average Joe or Jane.
How does it compare to... Just sleeping in a cool room... Like our ancestors did?
Presumably the company who makes it is not keep on that comparison
I could consider this, but I won't because there's a subscription. Without the subscription I could see myself getting this
I wish you had fucking hated it. I wanted to get one of these but didn’t due to the cost. Know I might be down $2500 US dollars 😢
I hate any fitness product with a subscription built in. Such a 8sleep or whoop. I am paying for a hardware good. If you say that newer versions of software is money then fine, but at least make it so that I can scrape my own data etc.
You're entertaining informative and inspiring James thank you. But I can't agree with the recommendation of a 2,5k matress when we have our extremities that are little heat exchangers so if you need to cool down peak a cheeky extremity out of the duvet -- a foot, a hand maybe both hey -- and you'll get the required cooling. Having more devices that suck your mind out of your eye holes has its own downsides. And it looks like you would have gotten those great sleep scores anyway (good luck in July lol) proving that if you're already sleeping well this will make a minimum difference. And if you dont sleep well there are a pethora of free things you can try that should be tried before spending money.
Do wanna emphasize though: thank you for the great and entertaining video.
Ah congrats dude! I reckon you’ll be a good dad 😊👍
Honestly it sounds amazing but that prize tag and subscription are obviously made for people with above average income. I just looked it up and it's even more expensive in the EU. As good as it sounds I'm not going to pay a monthly fee for a mattress topper app.
The $2500 doesn't bother me as much if the product has a lifetime guarantee that you can use for any mattresses you purchase in the future if it's helping you sleep, as I'd put it in the same category as fitness equipment. If it's helping me be healthier overall then that price tag is ultimately worth it to me.
But adding a subscription fee on top of this for $300 dollars? I don't need to be taxed $300 dollars for the rest of my life.
You sleep almost full 8 hours? Enjoy that till about the middle of June 😅 and then forget about any consistent sleep for maybe 2 years 😁
Cant wait for some parent/fitness related content. PPL 6 day split doesnt really factor in child induced sleep deprivation.
I don't care but if I have to pay evey day in addition to the 2.5k to use the product, it's completely bs
Use separate blankets to regulate heat between you and your partner. There, saved you $2500.
the price is fine, but im not paying a subscription on top of nearly 3 grand base price, its insane.
I’ve had one for a few years. Never had an issue. I like it. I’m not making a witty video about it though.
Fist off the bad smell is the fire retardant when you first open it just like a new mattress nothing you can do about that but open a window to let it air out not put all the covers on right away like he did as will smell for longer. But at the end with will never sleep on a normal bed again is right can imagine him going to a hotel and just thinking err normal bed.
Single cost i can live woth, but not a aubscription
If it can offset your power bill by the $15 per month then I guess it works out. Or $24/mo and you get a 5yr warranty against it raining on your floor someday.
@@astrohgamingZero it'll be more power for me, as in UK we don't have AC in bedrooms etc. but with our solar and home battery system power consumption is not an issue.
My wife is convinced just not the monthly cost
Things the best! Compared with the ooler it’s 1000x better avoid the ooler at all costs!
Wait wait wait wait. Men want to be warmer and women want to be colder? No no no, that does not compute. Not mine and my wife's experience. Data please!
Here’s a question for you! How do you think using that nightly when you’re home will affect you when you travel? Would be interesting to see a follow up, say, after you spent a week away on holiday (not that you’ll be able to afford a holiday for years, between the baby costs, mattress purchase & subscriptions 😂) letting us know how your sleep was when you’re ‘deprived’ of the thermal regulation after becoming accustomed to having it.
Need a review on bottled water mate, absolute rip off, only thing humans require to stay alive and we have to pay for it.
The cost and subscription is an offense to god and man, but it measurably improves my sleep.
There's ZERO reason this should have a subscription!
Can you make a video about Andrew Tates new supplement fireblood?
Cool to hear you're passing down your genes, get those quality Anglo-Celtic birthrates up in the colonies
