Quick answer
Rich Roll has discussed sleep with experts on his podcast. His website lists Birch and Eight Sleep as podcast sponsors, so their inclusion should be understood in that commercial context. A sponsorship is not proof that a product is right for every sleeper.
This guide links to the show’s own sources and offers independent considerations for comparing sleep products.
Rich Roll’s conversation about sleep
In episode 600, published May 10, 2021, Roll speaks with neuroscientist Matthew Walker about sleep stages, sleep loss, dreams and sleep habits. The show’s episode page provides the full discussion and notes. You can also watch the conversation on YouTube.
Podcast interviews are a useful starting point, but individual claims should be checked against scientific evidence and personal health questions should be discussed with a clinician.
Rich Roll’s mattress sponsors and sleep products
Which sleep products are connected to the show?
The show’s sponsor page lists Birch mattresses and Eight Sleep’s temperature-control products. These are advertisements or sponsor relationships; the page alone does not establish which exact model Rich Roll currently uses or prove a product’s performance.
- Birch: mattresses, including latex-and-coil hybrids. Compare a model’s feel, materials and return terms before ordering.
- Eight Sleep: temperature-control sleep systems. Check compatibility with your existing mattress, ongoing fees and the terms of the exact system.
Sponsors, offers and prices can change. Verify current terms directly, and do not treat an ad read as independent testing.
What to know about the Birch Natural mattress
Birch describes its Natural mattress as a hybrid using organic cotton, organic latex, wool and individually wrapped coils, with a medium-firm feel. Comfort depends on body size and sleeping position; test a model if you can and confirm the exact specifications before buying.
Compare the price of your size, delivery, the seller’s trial and return costs. Birch’s product and certification pages have displayed different trial lengths, so confirm the written terms for your exact order. Yawnder or other retailers may have different policies.

Sleep habits to consider
Allow enough time for sleep, keep a reasonably consistent schedule and make your bedroom comfortable, dark and quiet. Consider how caffeine, alcohol, late work and bright screens affect your own sleep. The NIH sleep guide offers practical suggestions.
No mattress or sleep gadget guarantees recovery or treats insomnia. If sleep problems persist, snoring is loud or you wake gasping, talk with a healthcare professional.
