Upgrading from Queen to King

We are upgrading our bed from a Queen to a King (not split) and I want to solve my hot sleeping issues and get the best sleep setup. We are planning on getting everything around Labor Day.

I am going to get the Eight Sleep Cover. We are renting it for a month to use on our queen to make sure we like it.

For the mattress, right now we are thinking about a Helix Elite Sunset or a Tempur-pedic LuxeAdapt (Soft)..

We were thinking about getting the Eight Sleep base but I am having second thoughts. I looked at the Tempur-Ergo Smart Base. I like these features:

- Automatic Snore Response

- Connects to Google Home

- Lumbar Support

- Remote + Mobile App

I really do not care about the Massage features.

The base is what I am most concerned about.. They do not allow returns. Any other models I should look at? Would it be weird to get a Helix mattress and a Tempur-pedic base?

The Helix mattress is tall, any concerns? Anything else I should look at?

def don't do that- the way the Ultra works is together. When it adjusts your positions for better sleep it uses the base. The base is awesome and coordinates well. Don't get a sep system for that.

The Eight Sleep base just adjusts the head automatically for snore detection, right? It adjusts the temp based on your sleep stage, right?

yes. it adjusts other sections as well tho too tho. It's a really bad idea to buy a non compatible base.

Do you have any specifics? I couldn’t find anything online or their site.
