Verdict

The Hatch Restore 3 is an undeniable upgrade from the Restore 2 thanks to its updated design, expanded button functionality, and maintained price point.

If you're looking for a premium sleep companion, the Restore 3 is your best choice. However, current Restore 2 owners may find it unnecessary to upgrade, as the enhancements are incremental rather than fundamental.
