0:00if you were to trip up

0:01$25,000 in your house that you had

0:03laying around you could get one of these

0:05a mattress

0:06cover $25,000 when I first heard about

0:10this brand and the mattress covers they

0:11did I thought that could be worth it if

0:13it was finishing me off in the morning

0:15with a happy ending massage but if it's

0:16not how on Earth is that going to be

0:18worth

0:22[Music]

0:23$25,000 then I found out it regulates

0:26not only your temperature but your

0:27partners as well if there is one thing

0:30we know about men and women men often

0:32want to be warmer than women unless

0:33you're the beter in the relationship and

0:34one of the biggest arguments between men

0:36and women has to be about the

0:37temperature of the bedroom at night so I

0:38thought why not let's find out if this

0:40is legit there is a b story here if

0:42you're watching this and you don't know

0:43I'm expecting my first child to be born

0:46in the middle of June and there are two

0:47things that I'm concerned about with

0:48this number one I'm adopted so this is

0:50going to be the first Blood relative

0:51I've ever seen be pretty awkward if we

0:53don't get on and number two because I

0:55sleep in such a cold room and the be is

0:57going to be in the room with us if I

0:59have the temperature at the temperature

1:01that makes me sleep happy that baby will

1:03freeze don't laugh you think that's

1:05funny a baby freezing is funny to you

1:06you French Canadian so I needed to find

1:10something that I could use to permit me

1:12to sleep and be happy whilst the B does

1:15not freeze it's arrived oh my God this

1:18thing weighs a flipping

1:20ton my two favorite feelings in life

1:22having sex with a woman and get in the

1:25pump I've intentionally remained quite

1:27naive and I promise I have not watched

1:28any reviews about this cuz I didn't want

1:30it to interfere with how i rate the

1:32thing and actually at sleep kindly

1:34offered to send me one for free if you

1:36send it to me for free I can't give you

1:37a proper review I just can't see it

1:39being worth two grand two grand two

1:41grand there's no way this can be worth

1:42two grand two grand £2,000 2 I used have

1:45to work for 2 months in an office 9500

1:48calls a day brother for that it's a

1:51mattress cover mattress it's just a

1:53Topper it's a Topper just the topper not

1:55even the mattress you just put it over

1:57the top it pumps a bit of water it's got

1:59away 20 kg that's probably why they got

2:02returns policy on it probably cost more

2:03than 2 Grand to send that thing back and

2:05let me make one thing clear if this did

2:08not have a no quam's money back

2:09guarantee I would not be touching this

2:11thing cuz I'm not spending $25,000 on a

2:13mattress cover I'm buying this doing the

2:16video and then returning it I want it to

2:18work but I also want my two grand

2:21back this is it looks like an old

2:25computer that's that I don't know what

2:27this is oh it must be the mattress cover

2:34almost every single video about that

2:36mattress cover on YouTube is sponsored

2:37or they sent it for free and ultimately

2:39it's more of an affiliate review than

2:41anything else so let me make it clear

2:42I'm not being paid I'm not going to give

2:44you a link I'll put the brand name in

2:45the description and if you want to go

2:47away and find one call but I'm not your

2:49usual influencer my channel is about

2:50education not about making sales from

2:53flipping products $

2:564,233 that's insane money not only that

2:58you've got to pay a monthly membership

3:01they're on in hey we made a mattress

3:03cover for millionaires so I assume

3:05mattress cover device suppose the device

3:08probably going go under the bed is heavy

3:09I'm sweating he doesn't seem too

3:11impressed but yeah looks kind of nice

3:13you know it looks all right nice little

3:14branding maybe that's where you put

3:16water I don't know that's a mattress

3:18cover so didn't have a great night's

3:21sleep but I don't think that was the

3:22mattress I think I just didn't have a

3:23good night sleep what was interesting is

3:25I woke up to a very good sleep Score

3:27says I got a good night's sleep time

3:29slept 7 hours 58 it'd be interesting

3:32obviously this is the first night that

3:33I've used this to see how this goes but

3:34I do like the idea positives of getting

3:38heart rate HRV breath rate all whilst

3:41not having to wear a wearable I hate

3:42wearing wearables as you would have seen

3:44in some of the videos the mattress

3:46was cool I was worried that I was going

3:48to set it too cool but here you can see

3:52temperature on off and my M oh I can

3:56even turn hers on and off but yeah the

3:59first night did it feel like I was

4:01sleeping on a 2,000 mattress kind of

4:06positives definitely cooler positives I

4:09like the way that my M gets an email to

4:10set up to her side cons didn't sleep

4:12that well positives definitely was

4:14notably cooler I can also go through and

4:16change what periods of the night I want

4:17to change the temperature on I'm kind of

4:19excited to use it again it was silent it

4:21was silent as well it the actual device

4:24lets off a bit of heat but all in all it

4:26was silent kind of excited to go to bed

4:29tonight just to see if I sleep better as

4:31far as the setup it was very

4:32professional the app was it was decent

4:35actually like I said I like the fact

4:37that it emailed my Ms asking about her

4:39preferences now this is Alfie he is a

4:41type of dog called a kelpi which is an

4:44Australian sheep dog and not only is he

4:46mental he just likes to make anything I

4:48do difficult and I'm not the well versed

4:51or best versed in making a bed in the

4:53first place so when I was here in

4:55unfamiliar territory he came to not only

4:57accompany me through this and

4:59interesting and pivotal Journey but to

5:01make it as difficult as possible you

5:03then get the mattress I'm not even

5:05really sure about the sheet names but

5:07you unfold it it was one of those

5:09pressure ones so it was always quite

5:11satisfying and you let that air out and

5:14although it did have a bit of a smell to

5:16it it actually fit really well I think

5:18this one's called the Pod 3 and I mean

5:20at first I wasn't sure and I was like

5:22what am I doing my m is going to come

5:23home and be like what have you done and

5:24yeah there are holes in the bed sheet

5:25but that's part of having a dog so I've

5:28done five nights with the eight seat now

5:29now and as you can see here I've got the

5:32five nights every night it's been a

5:33pretty good sleep last night I did wake

5:35up buzzing at that tell me where I'm

5:38going through different stages of sleep

5:39got more deep sleep heart rate 46 beats

5:42per minute wow you must be an athlete

5:44James guilty HRV 101 don't worry about

5:47it did get told off for going to bed a

5:49little bit late last night and you know

5:51what I kind of like that sleep latency

5:53to fall asleep 5 minutes time to get it

5:55up 1 minute but yeah you know I'm

5:59enjoying this up a bit more than I

6:00thought and so far for my temperatures

6:02I'm looking atus 2 when I get into bedus

6:05one early in the night late I've put it

6:07at zero which still has a chilling

6:09effect and with the alarm you can

6:12actually ear an alarm as a thermal alarm

6:14which will wake you up and the vibration

6:16the vibration did SC the at me so I

6:18might set a thermal alarm for tomorrow

6:21let's do it at 6:15 plus 5 qu going to

6:24be warm so maybe we try that Pros it

6:27calls you down I'm enjoying the data

6:30that I'm getting a lot from it the

6:31accuracy I don't know but this does

6:33bring me back to the debuck we've had

6:35with whoop where you might have seen the

6:36videos I did where I was Pro whoop and

6:38then I was anti- whoop last night was

6:41freezing I way over hit it I tried the

6:45minus 3 setting way too cold if you keep

6:47the air con on in your room at the

6:48temperature that you usually have it

6:49you're Frozen so you actually have to

6:51dial up your air con to make it warmer

6:52for the mattress in the room so it's

6:54taken me a long time to go okay what

6:56temperature do I need in the room

6:57because I had all this dialed down

6:58before and even when it's at zero it

7:01still has a chilling effect because the

7:02mattress is pulling away heat from you I

7:05thought at this point I'd be able to

7:07know whether or not I loved it or not

7:08but I think I need two or three more

7:10days before I can make the verdict of

7:12whether or not I'm getting my money back

7:14so now trying to connect it to the Wi-Fi

7:17as you can see having a dog makes

7:19everything more complex especially when

7:20you have an Australian kelpy it's been

7:22for like three walks today he's mental

7:23but we love him once this is done when

7:26this is done I will take you again I did

7:30really enjoy the way that it kind of

7:31coaches you through different

7:32temperatures you might want at different

7:34parts in the night and yeah the setup

7:37was

7:41great and then you just fill up the with

7:43water it took about two of those things

7:45and it takes about an hour and a half to

7:46pump it through the mattress and to

7:48prime it to get it ready for sleep

7:51started to make a noise is it yeah don't

7:53yourself so it's now been two weeks

7:56since I started using the eight sleep

7:58it's been an interesting ride so let me

7:59tell you about some of the cons it's

8:01very expensive the pod doesn't fit near

8:03the side of the bed on several nights my

8:05Ms woke up to a ticking noise like a

8:08pulsing noise she thought she was having

8:10heart palpitations but it actually meant

8:12that this thing needed priming which

8:13meant we needed to put more water in it

8:15she thought she was going crazy there's

8:16quite a pungent smell when you first put

8:19that mattress cover on it's more admin

8:21and like we went through some of the

8:22whoop videos where maybe you just don't

8:25want data all the time to make you

8:27paranoid about whether or not you had a

8:28good night's sleep you don't want to be

8:29late in bed thinking oh no this thing's

8:31measuring my heart rate dater and it

8:32could potentially ruin my day the next

8:33day and I've just got to be honest I

8:35don't like

8:36it I love it these boxes are empty

8:39because it's still on my bed at home I

8:41wanted to hate it I've got mixed

8:42emotions right now because one yeah I'm

8:45going to regulate my temperature but

8:47two I'm down

8:49$25,000 I've ruined my own life through

8:52doing this video that's going to be a

8:53cost that's going to linger with me

8:54forever like my soon to be newborn yeah

8:57there are some positives but you can't

8:58escape that that cost when they get to

9:00the age of being able to leave home

9:01they're still D I can have some pocket

9:03money the first five nights were rubbish

9:05then the next night I can only describe

9:07it as Valhalla if you've seen Vikings

9:09you'll know the first few nights I was

9:10trying to go too cold zero still takes

9:13the temperature out of you but it it

9:14doesn't chill you it Wicks the

9:16temperature out of you when you lay on

9:17it you're like this isn't working then

9:19after a while you're Frozen to the bones

9:21then there's an alarm setting where the

9:23mattress can vibrate don't do that it's

9:25horrible but there's an alarm setting

9:26where you can get a thermal alarm where

9:28the bed wakes up and I'm a heat adverse

9:30when it comes to bed I like cold cold

9:31cold but my God it's like a hug from the

9:34universe when you wake up I've not woken

9:36up that happy in a while the temperature

9:38regulation after sleeping with this it

9:41seems so stupid that you would make a

9:43room colder and then hide under warm

9:46blankets to protect you from the cold

9:47air when the problem is the heat in the

9:49bed I was biased coming into this

9:51because I was so happy before sleeping

9:53in airon room but it's got to this my M

9:56said oh when the baby comes if it's

9:57keeping you awake you can go sleep

9:58downstairs first thing that came into my

10:00mind there's no eight sleep downstairs

10:02what you just want me to sleep on a

10:03mattress what am I a caveman come have a

10:05look at this ET you can tell I'm in a

10:07good mood sleep Fitness score 100

10:10quality 100 routine 100 I've been going

10:12to bed earlier I've been setting a

10:13bedtime for my misses hour 22 deep sleep

10:16I'm back into loving my heart rate

10:17variability 117 I'm a freak I'm an

10:21athlete this is what can only be

10:23described as the dawnus 2 - 2 then by

10:26the time it gets like 4 in the morning

10:28your body's been killed for so long it's

10:30time to let it go let it go and then

10:32plus 5 6:30 a.m. bsh members like you

10:35find this

10:36comfortable this is like one of those

10:38things in life that once you do it it

10:40will ruin everything else forever like

10:43business class once you fly business

10:45your life is effectively ruined because

10:47you can't fly any other way this is like

10:50one of those things if you're someone

10:52like me where marginal gains are really

10:53really important because we take

10:55creatine to get 8% in gains we get

10:58running trainers we can run that little

10:59bit further we eat better nutrition so

11:02we can be more alert and have better

11:03cognition we drink neonic because it

11:05allows us to get that little bit extra

11:08out of the work that we're doing the

11:10eight sleep is just like that and I hate

11:13how much I like it I've even found

11:14myself converting other people already

11:16you're going to spend a third of your

11:17life sleeping and when it comes to sleep

11:19optimization eye masks are great

11:21supplementation is great but thermal

11:24regulation for you and your

11:27partner I thought it was hugely

11:30overrated but unfortunately I think this

11:32is the beginning of how people sleep

11:33differently if I've sparked an interest

11:35in your mind do consider it do check the

11:37money back guarantee cuz it's win-win

11:39for anyone similar to you when I started

11:40this video you either use it love it and

11:42can't afford to go on your next holiday

11:43or you use it hate it and send it back I

11:46don't get paid by them I just want you

11:47guys to have an easy life of training

11:49recovery performance and I'd be doing

11:51you a disservice if I didn't make this

11:52video thanks for watching I'm a bit

11:53disappointed cuz I did want to send it

11:55back I thought we could get some great

11:56footage at the post office bastards
