Yes, the 360 actually has built-in tech that warms the foot of the bed for you as you're falling asleep so both you and your partner can slumber more comfortably. In addition to its foot-warming capabilities, the 360 Smart Bed also claims a couple of other advanced features:Snore-no-more: Sleep Number says its 360 bed reads biometric cues to find out if someone's snoring. If they are, the dual-sided adjustable bed is designed to raise just the snorer's head to reduce the sound.Self-adjusting mattress: According to Sleep Number, your ideal mattress settings change based on your sleep position. So, if you happen to switch from your back to your side midsleep, SleepIQ software should notice and deflate the mattress slightly to optimize your comfort.
Of course, the 360 Smart Bed also comes with the same SleepIQ app for Android or iPhone as the company's It Bed. That means you'll still be able to change the firmness settings of your mattress yourself, check how well you slept the night before and how well you have been sleeping for the past week and month. As part of SleepIQ's software, you can also integrate the 360 Smart Bed with products from Nest, Fitbit and other manufacturers. I got the chance to test out this functionality over six weeks of sleeping on the It Bed. While it was easy to pair partnering products to the bed, the integrations didn't help me improve my sleep.But Sleep Number has introduced a lot of updates and new features since I started testing the It Bed in the fall. Not only can SleepIQ now differentiate between when you're in bed but awake and when you're asleep, it now offers even more personalization. Here's an example straight from Sleep Number's official 360 Smart Bed press release: 10:30 p.m. The sleeper receives a bedtime reminder via the SleepIQ app
10:45 p.m. Foot-warming feature automatically turns on in the smart adjustable base before the sleeper gets into bed11 p.m. The smart adjustable base adjusts to the sleeper's favorite position for reading in bed11 p.m.-7:30 a.m. ResponsiveAir technology constantly senses movements and adjusts mattress comfort during the night1 a.m. Partner begins to snore, and the smart adjustable base raises their head4:30 a.m. If a user gets out of bed to check on a child or use the bathroom, under-bed lighting will automatically turn on (lighting the way in the dark); then turn off when they return to bed7:15 a.m. SleepIQ technology knows what time the sleeper would like to wake up, and an alarm will sound when they are in their lightest stage of sleep during their desired wake-up time window This all sounds pretty good, but we won't know exactly how well it works until we get our hands on a 360 Smart Bed. Sleep Number plans to introduce 360 beds in stages throughout the year. While the team hasn't yet shared pricing information, Sleep Number will offer a variety of mattress and bases and expects their cost to be close to the brand's existing products.

If you’ve had the chance to take a look through my website, you will know that I’m not just about reviewing brands that will cost thousands of dollars. In fact, I have done my best to give a good cross section of the brands available in the hope that people who feel this type of “sleeping technology” is beyond their budget realize it’s anything but! The first model of memory foam mattress I’m going to review on this page is the Best Price Memory Foam Mattress, 10 inch.
OK, so as you read through the pluses and negatives you might not find this one has all the benefits a Tempurpedic will give you, but you’re not looking to spend top dollar for a mattress that will help you sleep better. So, on with the review. Considering how much this brand of memory foam mattress will cost you, I think the manufacturer has done a fine job. The 10 inch model starts with a Poly Jacquard cover complete with a zip so you can remove it easily for washing. Next, you get 3 inches of memory foam which is infused with charcoal to help keep odors at bay. Underneath that you have 2 inches of super soft pressure release foam which is where it all happens in terms of the comfort you get. At the very bottom, you benefit from 5 inches of high density base foam. All of this adds up to a mattress that will not only mould to the shape of your body, but it will also intelligently recognize the main pressure points that can cause discomfort when you sleep. When you first lie down, the top layer reacts to your body temperature and within a few minutes, it will begin to conform to your shape.
The unique “pressure relief system” accommodates troublesome areas of your body like the shoulders and hips. It will even recognize that different areas need support if you turn from your back on to your side. All of this leaves you feeling like your almost lying on air, but the one point I will make is this can take a bit of getting used to if you’ve never slept on a memory foam mattress before. Heat is another issue some people might come across. Unlike the more expensive memory foam mattress, this one doesn’t come with any form of cooling system. In fact because it uses the heat from your body to mould to you, it’s probably a lot warmer than you would expect. Having said that, this problem can easily be rectified by using cool-touch sheets or less in the way of blankets over the top. This mattress is CertiPUR-US certified ensuring it only contains polyurethane foam. This helps in terms of guaranteed comfort, reduced fire risk and it’s healthier for the environment.
The manufacturer also offers a 10 year warranty. You can buy this 10 inch model in the following sizes: Twin, Full, Queen and King. You will get all the benefits mentioned above but what you should bear in mind is the level of firmness. The layers inside are almost the same except for the following: The memory foam on top is 2 inches in depth, and instead of the super soft pressure release foam you get 2 inches of ventilated cool foam. The high density base foam is 4 inches in depth. The addition of the ventilated cool foam is probably something a lot of people would like with the 10 inch version because this helps to negate issues with feeling too hot overnight. However, you do still get the “cradle” effect when you lie down due to the way in which the top layer reacts to body temperature. This one is available in: Twin, Full, Queen, King and Twin XL. If you decide to opt for one of these memory foam mattresses, it will be delivered rolled and vacuum packed.
