The widespread Amazon Web Services (AWS) outage on October 20, 2025 reportedly caused AI-enabled Eight Sleep "Pod" smart beds to overheat or become unresponsive. The devices reportedly rely on a cloud-hosted deep learning algorithm to regulate temperature and track sleep data. When AWS went down, users reportedly lost control of their beds, which remained stuck at prior settings. Some reported overheating and incline malfunctions. Eight Sleep confirmed it is developing an offline "outage mode."
