Many in the US awoke on Monday to see that their online tools weren't working after an Amazon Web Services (AWS) outage. A few were tipped off because their smart mattress malfunctioned.

Those with Eight Sleep smart bed tech found their heated protectors weren't able to change temperature due to the outage. Some found their beds were stuck in an upright position.

An X user found that his mattress was over nine degrees warmer than desired, and they were unable to reduce the temperature. Another user reported being awoken at 2 a.m. with the bed at 80 degrees Fahrenheit, while another said his bed was "unusable right now because it’s 100% subscription based with no backup plan to let people manually set it when AWS is down."

According to Eight Sleep CEO Matteo Franceschetti, the brand is now working on “outage-proofing” for future issues.

The AWS outage earlier this week also took down dozens of other services, including Canva, Disney+, HBO Max, Hulu, Lyft, Reddit, Roku, Signal, and Snapchat. Amazon blamed a Domain Name System resolution issue and said it would soon provide a detailed report of what happened.
