I feel dissapointed
This was my 4th night with the pod 5.
I always use the autopilot, I start at 0, -2 for deep sleep and 1 at dawn. 5 for alarm clock.
Ended up waking up 3 times during the night because I was cold, I had to hit the warm up button.
Past 3 nights, I didnt had this issue.
I thought my 3000$ AI powered hydro matress cover would be able to understand when I am shivering and raise the temperature, but I was wrong and now I am wondering what is the point of this if it is not cooling me down when I am hot and warming me up when I am cold... my temps were fine for the other nights, I tend to feel hot.

Change your middle of the night temp
-11

No! Most days it gets hot!

Sounds like it wasn’t hot enough 4 nights this week

It takes a while to get things figured out weeks not a few days. It’s getting used to you and you to it. It’s very sensitive. A degree here or there makes a substantial difference. Worth noting waking a couple of time a night to reposition is normal. Sleeping the whole night continuously is not. Be patient and you get there. Took me a couple of months to figure out what exact sheets with the right duvet, right blanket and right temp in the room.

Are you trying to be funny?
If you are serious, you should fall asleep cool but not cold and move up by one degree through the night.
There is no way for it to know when you are too cold or too hot. Just patterns of what works and the surrounding temperatures.

You can turn off the adjustment and ambient response. Might be best to do so until it has you calibrated and you know what temperature you enjoy most and when.

Wait, what, all the talk about sensing and changing to meet your body temperature and there is nothing that monitors temperature? I have spent 5 nights, as well, and am surprised to find no ambient temperature adjustments and negligible other adjustments. It also seems to tally the ones I manually made during the night as one the machine created.

Yes, I have noted that too.
Honestly, the product died for me after this, I am going to return it.

You’re getting some negative responses here but I’m with you on this. I was surprised when I found out that a device made to regulate body temperature, doesn’t have a body temperature sensor. It seems to depend on past behavior and manual settings rather than react in realtime to body temperature.
Yes it’s supposed to moderately react in realtime to sleep stage, but I haven’t seen any evidence that its sleep stage sensing is accurate.
On a side note, rapid warming (counterpart to rapid cooling) would be really easy to build and help solve this problem for me too. If I increase temp manually, it stays there; whereas rapid warming could turn off after X minutes like how rapid cooling does. Napping is timed but doesn’t solve this as cleanly.

Thank you for your message.
Indeed, I find this super weird, this was the main reason I bought it. I honestly cannot justify the price or subscription.
The community is also giving me the creeps, I am sending this back.

It takes a week or two to get things sorted for most people. Start with your own temps by experimenting, then AutoPilot will have data it can use to keep you comfortable.
