The verdict
Buy the Eight Sleep Pod 4 if you want the better overall package — it leads the RestScore 84 to 82 and is the stronger fit for couples who run hot and will pay for it. Go in with eyes open on the membership, though: the honest total is $3,355 over three years, not the $2,599 sticker.
Buy the Sleepme Dock Pro + Chilipad if its strengths match your bedroom — it's built for serious hot sleepers without the membership. It's also the cheaper one to own: $1,099 vs $3,355 over three years, a gap of $2,256 that may settle the question by itself.
Either way: both are comfort gear, not treatment. If the problem they're aimed at persists no matter what you buy, talk to a doctor.
