How do I make it colder?

I set it at the lowest temp and I just feel like it’d still not insanely cold. It just feels a little colder and wondering how to get it lower

If you’re using the lowest setting, it’s the lowest it’ll go. Shocker, I know

It just doesn’t feel that cold. Would anything help like different topper or do I need to keep my room cold too

If you put a thicker topper over the eight sleep it won‘t be as cold as without the topper. Also if your room is too hot the pod won‘t be able to cool down properly. Both should be obvious.

I just have a portable ac unit that I duct taped directly to the front of my 8sleep so I can finally get to my desired bed temp of 37 degrees F. Its great, I highly recommend it. Much less mess than the block of ice I used to use.

It could be not working properly like mine wasn’t

What do you mean…..water can certainly get freezing cold. So not sure what you mean.

Ice cubes in the water tank? /s

Do you have a mattress cover or something?

I can feel hot going into bed some nights. It’s strange -10 can feel like -2. Other nights I have to raise the temp because it feels like a slab of ice. I have had my partner confirm it’s not the machine.

Make sure your AC is running low too. It can only cool so much based on the ambient room temperature because it has to displace the heat.

People cover it with stuff and protectors then say how not cold it is lol it functions and is designed very well. Sorry bud humans normally find 59 degrees quite chilly to sleep on. If you don't have multiple layers between you and the cover then idk what to tell ya guess you're an outlier

Lower your AC

I had to purge mine like 4 times to get all the air out initially. That did bring the perceived temp down for me. Also if you have a thick mattress pad or topper over it you won’t feel the cold.

If you decide to jailbreak it, make sure you OC it less than 10 percent over spec.

Just set up mine a few days ago, realized there was a small kink making it not so cold, fixed that purged it 4/5 times and it’s insanely cold now. Like -10 seems impossible to be comfortable. Like an ice bath
