But a pillow system doesn't need to match the bed: a Pod 5 Pillow system will work alongside a Pod 6 Cover + Hub, and vice versa._ * * * #### **Generation Compatibility** Pod 6 introduces a new connector, so **Pod 6 Cover and Hub only work with each other**, not with any earlier Pod generation. Base and Pod Pillows are the exception: those still work across generations. **Pod Cover and Hub** (always sold and used as a pair) * Compatible: Pod 6 Cover works only with Pod 6 Hub. Pod 1 through Pod 5 Cover and Hub generations are all compatible with each other. * Not compatible: Pod 6 Cover or Hub with any earlier generation Cover or Hub. * New in Pod 6: Solo Pod Cover, a half-bed size that pairs with the Pod 6 Hub. **Base** * Both generations (Pod 4 Base, 2024; Pod 5 Base, 2025, with speakers) work with all Pod Covers & Hub from Pod 4 onward, plus the Solo Pod Cover. * No new Base features are planned for the Pod 6 launch. **Blanket** * Compatible: Pod 5 Cover, Pod 6 Cover (Dual only). * Not compatible: Solo Pod Cover, since the Blanket connects directly to the cover and doesn't fit the Solo size. * No new Blanket features are planned for the Pod 6 launch. **Pod Pillows and Hub** * Pod Pillows use their own separate Hub, independent of the bed's Hub, so Pod Pillow generation and bed generation don't need to match. * Compatible: any Pod generation bed setup; Pod Pillow Cover and Pod Pillow Hub as long as they're the same generation as each other (Gen 5 with Gen 5, Gen 6 with Gen 6). * Not compatible: mixing Pod Pillow Cover and Pod Pillow Hub generations (a Gen 5 Pod Pillow Cover won't work with a Gen 6 Pod Pillow Hub, or vice versa). * * * #### **Quick Reference by Cover Generation** **Cover** **Hubs** **Base** **Blanket** Pod 1 or 2 Compatible with all Pod Hubs Not compatible Not compatible Pod 3 Compatible with all Hubs (best with Pod 3, 4, 5 Hubs) Not compatible Not compatible Pod 4 Compatible with all Hubs (best with Pod 4, 5 Hubs); tap-control only works with Pod 4/5 Hubs Compatible with Pod 4 and Pod 5 Bases Not compatible Pod 5 Compatible with all Hubs (best with Pod 4, 5 Hubs); tap-control only works with Pod 4/5 Hubs Compatible with Pod 4 and Pod 5 Bases Compatible Pod 6 Only Pod 6 Hub Compatible (all Base generations) Dual only Still unclear?
