How's your sleep fitness? We all know sleep is important, but have you ever really looked into how to improve your sleep and overall health?

The story goes that several years ago, active sports enthusiast, Matteo Franceschetti, began to think about how to improve his sleep fitness. Knowing that proper sleep recovery is important to everyone, not just athletes, he began to think about what contributes to a great night's rest and how to measure it through data.

With the idea that there had to be a better way to rest and recover, Eight Sleep was born. The company was founded in 2014, by husband-wife duo Matteo Franceschetti (CEO) and Alexandra Zatarain (VP of Brand & Marketing) as well as Massimo Adreasi Bassi (CTO).**

Fast forward to today, following a recent raise of $86M in Series C funding led by the likes of Valor Equity Partners and Softbank, Eight Sleep's valuation is close to $500 million*. When you take a look at the innovative technology behind their products, it's no wonder that this start-up continues an impressive growth trajectory.

Eight Sleep is very much more than just a mattress company - they create high-tech sleep products that provide health insights and analytics to turn bedtime into recovery time, and improve your quality of life.

The Pod Pro, now in its second evolution, is the most impressive mattress on the market and highlighted by its amazing Dual-Zone temperature control that allows you to control the temperature on each side of the mattress separately, between 55°-110°F. The built in Intelligent SmartTemp™ AI even automatically adjusts the Pod Pro's temperature to the most comfortable level for your body.

It's a 12" premium foam mattress with 5 layers that help support spinal alignment and relieve pressure points. The 2" Airflow Top Layer is soft and provides airflow, elasticity, and instantaneous response to body impressions.

The Eight Sleep app also provides health reports, REM, respiration, heart rate data which seriously helps us understand our sleep patterns. You can even integrate it with your Alexa, smart coffee machines, and more around the home gadgets.

Eight Sleep's has also perfected what they call GentleRise™ technology. It wakes your body up naturally by gradually cooling down the mattress and with gentle vibrations at the chest level, so you wake up feeling fresh without any noisy alarm.

"We're a sleep-fitness company. The night is a moment for you to recharge and really wake up at your peak," CEO and cofounder Franceschetti told Forbes.**
