I tested Orion's smart mattress cover for a month — it's banished my night sweats and can stop 3 a.m. wake ups

After a blisteringly hot summer I jumped at the chance to test the Orion Sleep System, a smart mattress cover that promises active temperature regulation. Recent tropical nights have made me uncomfortably aware of how important temperature is for sleep, so can the Orion's smart cooling earn it a place among the best smart beds?

Type: Smart mattress cover and hub
Fits: 10"-16" tall mattresses
Sizes: 3 (Queen to Cal king)
Trial period: 30 nights
Warranty: 2 years (upgrade to 5 years for $399)
Shipping: Free
Price: From $2,395 at Orion

First, let's get this out of the way: this is not a mattress, it's a mattress cover. Head to our best mattress guide if you want a full bed. Fitted with smart sensors and water tubes, the Orion slips over your current mattress. It also comes with a bulky control hub that sits by the side of the bed.

During the night the Orion subtly adjusts the temperature of your mattress. It's not chilly and it's not warm — it's the perfect neutral temperature for sleep. The Orion delivers comfort you hardly notice, until you realize you've gone weeks without sweaty mornings and kicking the covers off. And the dual-temperature regulation means each side of the bed can enjoy a targeted feel.

At $2,395 for a queen from Orion, the Sleep System is expensive. But compared to the Eight Sleep Pod 6 ($2,899 for a queen), it's something of a bargain. Particularly as you don't need a subscription to use the Orion.
