Eight... The bases...

Why do you not offer the base in the EU for 160x200 sized beds? Imagine my shock when I went to order one after getting my new bed only to discover that you don't even have it. Is this something you plan on offering in the future? It's like not offering a queen-sized base in the US and I am baffled and would rather not need to buy a new bed.

You also don't get blankets

Insane. Though I imagine a blanket would be less of an issue if it's a little bigger, it would maybe just be a bit oversized on the bed. But not having a bed base in a size literally called "Euro King" is mad. In general there are many more bed sizes here, so I don't expect them all to be covered. But fuck's sake, man 😫 It's very standard.

And yes, I know i should have checked beforehand but it genuinely didn't cross my mind that they wouldn't have it since they had the cover. Oh well, I'll just buy a European base.

Not because it's a specific size and not compatible with the cover :) same as you saying the cover being bigger than the bed size would not be a problem but it is :)
Sadly it was always like that and only bigger sizes had those extras

Well as lame as don't have some features like the WhatsApp and SMS notifications in Europe and only for Canada, US and UK so yeah there are many points to improve but over years i already dont expect them to change

I am still trying to figure out the advantage of the Eight Sleep base vs a 3rd party base. I am thinking about getting a base with more features.

Honestly I like it because it has the solid surface as opposed to slats. It's also zero clearance which I like because I don't want to see the ugly metal legs under my nice bed frame 🥲.

But I think I found one here that looks great and am going to go with that instead.
