The company says the new pod adjusts temperature 20% faster and has 9x more sensors than the prior generation, letting it distinguish between two sleepers or ignore a pet or child on the bed.

GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The smaller footprint and solo option could widen Eight Sleep's addressable market to single-bed owners and non-standard frames, potentially accelerating growth beyond its current customer base. CEO Matteo Franceschetti's comment that international markets already generate over 30% of revenue, alongside recent launches in China, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait and Singapore, suggests the company is betting heavily on global expansion. Its pursuit of FDA approval for a sleep apnea device also indicates an effort to move from consumer gadget maker toward regulated medical technology, which could open new revenue streams if approved.
