Wait - it's $2000 just for a mattress cover? You still need to spend $1k+ for frame + mattress?

Well, you probably already have a bed, no? And if you don't, there are lots of different types of mattresses out there and you may have preferences.

As for frame, if you buy the Eight Sleep Pod 4 Ultra (which is the version that comes with a base that adds head/foot elevation control), you can use the base as a bedframe if you like, though that would be pretty minimalistic.

If this product was an entire bed then it would actually be a lot less appealing because it means you have to replace your bed to use it. It's not a bed, it's a mattress cover (and optional base with the Ultra), so it's purely additive on top of your existing bed, and does not significantly alter the feel of your mattress (besides temperature).
