How to cancel Eight Sleep and stop autopilot subscription charges in india
What Eight Sleep is and why cancellation matters to your wallet
Eight Sleep manufactures temperature-regulating smart mattress covers called Pods, paired with an optional subscription service named Autopilot. The Autopilot subscription unlocks advanced personalization features, real-time sleep pattern tracking, and automated temperature adjustments throughout the night. In India, you may be paying for Autopilot through the Apple App Store, Google Play Store, or directly via Eight Sleep's website.
The subscription cost accumulates quickly, especially if you no longer use the advanced features or if the hardware hasn't delivered the sleep improvements you expected. Yafee understands that canceling a subscription tied to an expensive hardware purchase feels confusing and frustrating. This guide walks you through exactly how to cancel your Eight Sleep subscription, what happens after cancellation, and your rights as a consumer under Indian law.
Understanding the Eight Sleep ecosystem in india
Eight Sleep products are often imported into India, so pricing varies depending on your purchase source. Subscriptions charge through three separate channels: Apple App Store, Google Play Store, or directly from Eight Sleep's website. This fragmentation is why many users struggle to find their cancellation option-you must know where you were billed before you can stop the charges.
Your Pod hardware will continue functioning after you cancel the subscription, but cloud-based features like Autopilot temperature adjustments and advanced sleep coaching may become unavailable or limited once your paid period expires.
Why you might want to cancel now
You may choose to cancel Eight Sleep for several reasons: the subscription no longer delivers value, the hardware isn't functioning as promised, you're paying for features you no longer use, or you're facing unexpected billing. Regardless of your reason, you have clear legal rights under Indian consumer law to stop these charges without penalty.
Your consumer rights in india and legal protections
The Consumer Protection Act, 2019 (CPA) protects you as a buyer in India, whether you purchased Eight Sleep hardware online, through a reseller, or via a mobile app store.
Key consumer protections that apply to Eight Sleep subscriptions
Under the CPA, you have the right to cancel a subscription service if Eight Sleep's service is defective, misleading, or fails to deliver promised features. If the Pod hardware is faulty or the Autopilot subscription doesn't function as advertised, you can lodge a complaint with your district consumer commission and seek a refund or replacement.
The CPA explicitly protects your right to withdraw from contracts for digital services and subscriptions. This means Eight Sleep cannot penalize you for canceling Autopilot. If the company continues charging you after you cancel, or if they refuse to process a refund you're entitled to, the CPA gives you grounds to escalate beyond customer service.
Yafee recommends documenting all communication before filing a formal complaint: screenshots of your subscription settings, cancellation confirmation emails, and billing statements form your evidence foundation.
Your legal position
You are entitled to cancel your Eight Sleep Autopilot subscription at any time under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019. Eight Sleep must process your cancellation within a reasonable timeframe-typically within 7 business days. If the company fails to cancel your subscription or continues charging you after cancellation, you have grounds to file a complaint with your State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission and claim damages. You may also request a refund for all charges incurred after your cancellation date.
When to escalate and where to file complaints
If Eight Sleep does not respond to your cancellation or refund request within 30 days, escalate to your state's District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission. Many states in India maintain online complaint portals for faster processing. Keep all evidence: screenshots of cancellation requests, email replies, billing records, and correspondence with customer service.
The Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) also accepts complaints against companies engaged in unfair trade practices. If Eight Sleep continues charging you despite multiple cancellation requests, filing a CCPA complaint creates formal enforcement pressure.
How to cancel Eight Sleep in three clear steps
Your cancellation method depends entirely on where you were billed-follow the path matching your purchase source.
Step 1: identify where you were billed
Check your email for the original order confirmation or receipt. Search for subject lines mentioning "Apple App Store," "Google Play," or "Eight Sleep." Look for recent billing notifications with keywords like "subscription" or "Autopilot" to confirm your billing platform.
- Apple App Store: Charges appear as "Apple Media Services" on bank statements
- Google Play Store: Charges appear under "Google Play" on your statement
- Eight Sleep direct: Charges appear under "Eight Sleep Inc" or similar
Step 2: cancel through your billing platform
- If you subscribed through Apple App Store:
- Open Settings on your iOS device
- Tap your Apple ID name at the top
- Select Subscriptions
- Find and tap Eight Sleep Autopilot
- Tap Cancel Subscription and confirm
- Screenshot the cancellation confirmation screen
- If you subscribed through Google Play Store:
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device
- Tap your Profile icon in the top right
- Select Payments and subscriptions, then Subscriptions
- Tap Eight Sleep Autopilot
- Select Cancel subscription and confirm
- Screenshot the cancellation confirmation
- If you subscribed directly through Eight Sleep's website:
- Visit the Eight Sleep website and log into your account
- Navigate to Account Settings or Subscription Management
- Locate Autopilot subscription details
- Click Cancel Subscription and follow the prompts
- Screenshot the cancellation confirmation email
Step 3: verify cancellation and request written confirmation
After you cancel through your app store or website, send a formal email to Eight Sleep's customer support confirming your cancellation date and requesting written confirmation. Include your account email, account ID, and the cancellation date. Yafee advises keeping this email in your records-it creates a documented trail if disputes arise later.
Allow 7 business days for Eight Sleep to process your cancellation across their payment systems. Check your billing statement in your next billing cycle to confirm no further charges appear.
What happens after you cancel Eight Sleep
Canceling your subscription triggers specific changes to your service access and billing.
Your access after cancellation
Your Pod hardware will continue functioning with basic features after cancellation. Cloud-based Autopilot features-automated temperature adjustments, sleep coaching, and advanced personalization-become unavailable once your current billing cycle ends. You retain access to your historical sleep data and basic app functionality.
Billing stops immediately or at cycle end
Most subscription platforms process cancellations immediately, so no new charges accrue after your cancellation date. However, if you cancel mid-cycle, you typically retain access until your next billing date. Eight Sleep must not charge you after the cancellation effective date-verify your statement carefully.
Refunds and what you're entitled to claim
Your refund eligibility depends on your cancellation timing and the reason for cancellation.
When Eight Sleep must refund you
If you cancel within 14 days of purchase (the statutory cooling-off period under the CPA for distance sales), you have an unconditional right to a full refund. If you cancel after 14 days but the subscription service is defective, misleading, or fails to deliver promised features, you may claim a pro-rata refund for the unused portion of your billing cycle.
If Eight Sleep continues charging you after you submit a valid cancellation request, the company must refund all charges incurred after your cancellation date plus statutory interest of 8 percent per annum.
How to claim a refund
Contact Eight Sleep's customer support in writing with your cancellation evidence. Include screenshots of your cancellation confirmation, your billing statements, and the dates of all charges you dispute. Request a refund and provide your bank account details. Yafee recommends sending this via email to create a documented record.
If Eight Sleep refuses your refund claim within 30 days, file a formal complaint with your State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission. The CCPA has authority to order refunds plus compensation for non-compliance with consumer rights.
Pricing and what you were paying
Understanding your Eight Sleep costs helps you evaluate whether cancellation is financially prudent.
| Billing Platform |
Typical Monthly Cost (INR) |
Annual Commitment |
Cancellation Penalty |
| Apple App Store |
₹1,499 to ₹1,999 |
No minimum |
None - cancel anytime |
| Google Play Store |
₹1,499 to ₹1,999 |
No minimum |
None - cancel anytime |
| Eight Sleep direct website |
₹1,799 to ₹2,299 |
No minimum |
None - cancel anytime |
Costs vary based on promotions, regional pricing, and your specific subscription tier. Annual subscriptions often offer discounts but do not lock you into continued payments-you can cancel at any time under the CPA.
Common mistakes to avoid during cancellation
Canceling a subscription is straightforward when you follow the correct platform, but small mistakes can delay your refund or leave you vulnerable to disputed charges.
Mistake 1: canceling only the app instead of the subscription
Uninstalling the Eight Sleep app does not cancel your subscription. Charges will continue until you explicitly cancel through your billing platform's subscription settings. Always cancel the subscription itself through Apple App Store, Google Play, or Eight Sleep's website.
Mistake 2: forgetting to document your cancellation
Screenshot every cancellation screen and save confirmation emails. If Eight Sleep disputes your cancellation or continues charging, your screenshots are your proof. Yafee has assisted hundreds of consumers who lost refund disputes because they lacked documented evidence of cancellation.
Mistake 3: not checking your statement after cancellation
Verify your next billing statement to confirm no charges appear after your cancellation date. Many consumers assume they're canceled without checking, then face months of unexpected charges. Set a calendar reminder to review your statement 7 days after cancellation.
Mistake 4: failing to escalate when Eight Sleep doesn't respond
If customer service ignores your cancellation request or refund claim after 30 days, escalate immediately to your State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission. Delays weaken your position. File the complaint in writing with all supporting documents.

After cancellation: what you need to do next
Your cancellation is the start of your refund process, not the end. Take these steps to protect yourself and secure your refund if eligible.
Monitor your statements for 60 days
Review your bank statements and app store billing for 60 days after cancellation. Most legitimate refunds process within 7 to 14 days, but delays can occur. If charges reappear after cancellation, screenshot them immediately and contact your bank and Eight Sleep's support simultaneously.
Collect your evidence bundle
Create a folder containing: your cancellation confirmation screenshot, all Eight Sleep emails, your billing statements covering the last 6 months, your cancellation request email, and any customer service responses. This evidence bundle becomes your foundation if you need to file a consumer complaint. Yafee advises organizing this chronologically for clarity.
Send a follow-up confirmation email
Seven days after cancellation, email Eight Sleep's customer support asking for written confirmation that your subscription is canceled and no future charges will occur. This follow-up creates a second documented touchpoint-if Eight Sleep continues charging, you have proof they were explicitly notified.
If Eight Sleep ignores your cancellation request or refuses your refund, use these official channels to escalate your complaint.
Eight Sleep customer support contact
Attempt to resolve your cancellation through Eight Sleep's official customer service first. Eight Sleep typically operates support through email and in-app messaging. Contact them in writing with your account details and cancellation request. Allow 7 business days for response.
State consumer commission filing
If Eight Sleep fails to respond within 30 days, file a formal complaint with your State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission. Your complaint must include: your account details, all cancellation evidence, billing statements, dates of unauthorized charges, and the refund amount claimed. Many states accept online filing through their official portals.
Central consumer protection authority (CCPA)
File a complaint with the CCPA if Eight Sleep engages in unfair trade practices-continuing to bill after cancellation, ignoring refund requests, or making false claims about subscription features. The CCPA has enforcement authority to order refunds and impose penalties.
