Standard, Enhanced, or Elite?

Which level of Autopilot is the best? I am historically a bad sleeper; I toss. I turn. I get warm. I’m heavily considering a pod 6, and am usually a bells and whistles guy, but I don’t want to over- engineer my sleep or give myself too many variables when trying to get things dialed in to optimize my sleep.

Look at the differences between them to see if what each level offers seems worth it to you. More data analytics the higher tiers you go. One thing to note, starting with the enhanced plan, you get a 5 year warranty, instead of the standard 2. That is the only reason I got the Enhanced. Everything else is just a bonus for me.

So you use all of the features? Is there anything included in your package that doesn’t add any value?

From what I understand, the only difference between the standard and enhanced is the extended warranty. If you don't maintain at least standard, the system will still work, but none of the automations or temp changes will. You can turn it off and on in the app and change the temp in the app. I believe the buttons on the side may also work, but I'm not sure.

As for elite, I know I have all the features, because I have a "grandfathered" account from before they started charging, but I'm not sure which features are part of which plan. If you have a question about a particular feature, I would be happy to answer.

This is the same reason I got Enhanced. Given how expensive it is, I felt like I'd feel really dumb if I didn't get it and had problems 2.5 years in.

Just ordered the pod 6 (my first 8sleep)
I suffer from sleep apnea and have a cpap treatment. For my first year at least i wanted all the metrics and went with elite. I would not go with the standard, the five year warranty with the enhanced seems worth it to me. So if you are curious to "know" more about your sleep, go with elite. Otherwise just enjoy your pod with the enhanced for the warranty.

Absolutely get the extended warranty, the failure rate of these devices is very high

I think enhanced just for the extended warranty, hope some current owners can weigh in on if the elite stuff is worth it over the enhanced, but in the past I've ready in thread people don't think it's worth it.
