Tired of tossing and turning while sleeping? Waking up groggy like a camel caravan has hit you? Same. But now, there’s a solution that feels straight out of a sci-fi flick, and no, it doesn’t involve counting sheep or overdosing on chamomile tea. Say hello to Pod 5, launched in Saudi Arabia to fix your night-time routine.
Meet Pod 5: Saudi Arabia’s Smartest Bed Yet
Let’s cut to the chase. Pod 5 isn’t your average mattress gadget. It’s a fully AI-powered sleep system by Eight Sleep, the world’s first sleep fitness company, and it just landed in Saudi Arabia. Yes, it’s real. Yes, it’s genius. And yes, it’s here to rescue your nightly routine.
This system doesn’t just track your sleep, it transforms your bed into a high-tech wellness cocoon. Think smart temperature control, custom head elevation, noise-masking audio, and even health checks while you snooze. The Pod 5 takes your biometrics (no creepy wires, promise) and adapts in real time to optimise every second of your slumber.
What Makes Pod 5 So Smart?
Saudi Arabia ranks last in sleep quality among the 30+ countries Eight Sleep serves. Ouch. But here’s the twist: Pod 5 is on a mission to fix that. Let’s break down its toolkit. First, the Pod Cover. It’s like a fitted sheet on steroids, with sensors that monitor your heart rate and breathing. You can control both sides of your bed’s temperature, from a cool 12°C to a toasty 43°C. Perfect for couples with very different sleep vibes. Then there’s the Blanket, which hooks into the cover and amps up that heating/cooling magic and is hydro-powered.
Add in the Hub, which links the entire setup to the Eight Sleep app. You’ve got total command at your fingertips, because fumbling around in the dark is so passe. Now for the MVP: the Base. It can raise your head to help with comfort, breathing, or brace yourself, snoring. The system detects the snore, then elevates your noggin ever so gently.

Sleep Smarter, Not Harder
Oh, and get this: it comes with built-in surround sound. The integrated speaker plays calming, noise-machine-like sounds to help lull you into deeper sleep. Think rainforest vibes or gentle waves.
But the real game-changer? Health Check. This AI-powered coach keeps an eye on your cardiovascular and respiratory health while you sleep. No smartwatches, no clunky rings. If your stats look suspicious, the app will flag it and tell you to get checked before anything serious comes up.So, should you upgrade your sleep game? If you live in Saudi Arabia and want to wake up feeling like a human (not a zombie), Pod 5 might be your new bedtime BFF.
Sweet dreams just got an upgrade.
