The company financed their first projects through a crowdfunding campaign in 2015. Since 2016, the company has raised multiple rounds through venture capital, include a Series B fundraising round in 2018 [4] and a Series C fundraising round in 2021 led by Valor Equity Partners with participation from SoftBank and Founders Fund.

In 2022, Eight Sleep acquired health coaching company Span Health.

Products

Eight Sleep's flagship product is the Pod mattress. [7] The company has also integrated its offerings with Amazon's Echo devices. [8] [9] In 2022, Eight Sleep launched the third generation of the Pod, Pod 3. [10] [11]

The Strategist described the company's smart mattresses as the only ones on the market able to reliably provide temperature control. [12] Company's Pad Pro mattress gives you a "sleep score". [13]
