Sleep Number is doing its part to combat frosty toes with its new 360 Smart Bed. 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.Click here to find out what else is happening at CES 2017.Sleep Number is a brand of mattresses manufactured by Sleep Comfort, a Plymouth, Minnesota-based company with manufacturing and distribution facilities in Utah and South Carolina. Such is its dedication to innovation in the bedding industry that it holds 23 issued and pending patents in the United States and 40 foreign issued and pending patents.
Below are the estimated Sleep Number bed prices. While Select Comfort has several product lines, the Sleep Number bed is considered as its signature product. The adjustable air mattress features “sleep number” settings that adjust the softness and firmness of the mattress, a feature especially useful for couples who want separate levels of firmness in the same bed. The mattress’ firmness is adjusted via air pressure such that the higher the number, the higher the pressure, and the greater the firmness; the settings go up to 100. This feature is available on larger beds including full-sized beds, which are designed with separate chambers for separate adjustments. The Sleep Number beds come in several models with each model offering practical features aside from the adjustable firmness. These beds also come in several versions including latex foam and memory foam, thus, increasing the number of choices for shoppers. Select Comfort is dedicated to providing its customers with the best sleep of their lives, a commitment that manifests itself in the numerous practical features of the Sleep Number beds.
The settings, which range from feather soft to extra firm, are just one of these features designed to provide individualized comfort for each sleeper. The materials used on the beds, particularly memory foam, haven been chosen for their body contouring properties. Keep in mind that proper spine alignment during sleep is a must since it reduces the risks for upper and lower back pain as well as tossing and turning during the night, which contribute to restful sleep. Proper spine alignment during sleep is made possible through sufficient cushioning, support and comfort for the hips, back and neck. In a study, such benefit has been proven with 89 percent of participants reporting improved sleep quality (i.e., less tossing and turning) while on a Sleep Number bed. Select Comfort, in fact, takes pride in the bed’s clinically proven benefits of relieving back pain and boosting sleep quality, no matter the age and preferences of its customers. The beds are also designed with an innovative technology known as SleepIQ, a built-in system of sensors that tracks sleep patterns for sleep optimization purposes.
The sensors can track your movement, heartbeat and breathing patterns, which are then relayed to a web-based smartphone app. You can use the information to make appropriate adjustments in the mattress’ firmness, not to mention that you will also get a report card on how well you slept (i.e., tossing and turning or minimal movement during the night). You can also use the app to determine the possible factors behind your less-than-optimum sleep patterns, such as your lifestyle activities. You can input on the journal, for example, your diet, exercise and lifestyle habits to determine their impact on your sleep quality. You will then be able to make appropriate adjustments in your lifestyle habits and enjoy restful sleep every night. No wonder then that 92 percent of Sleep Number bed owners have attested about their satisfaction for the product as well as their willingness to recommend it to their family and friends. The beds are also known for their superior durability in comparison with other brands.
A Sleep Number foam mattress can last twice as long as its innerspring counterpart but with almost the same price. Good value for your money can be found here, indeed! Each mattress also comes with a limited 25-year warranty. Proper care and maintenance measures are obviously necessary to avail of the warranty, an industry standard that applies to other brands, too. Sleep Number beds come in several product lines including: This is the company’s first mattress and still one of the more popular because of its affordability coupled with its adjustable firmness, soft woven fabric cover, and sufficient support. This ups the ante in the enviable combo of softness and support especially for people who want pressure relief. The mattresses are designed with breathable knit fabric, proprietary PlushFit foam for head-to-toe contouring, and zones for support from the head to the feet, as well as come with a remote to set the right setting. These are unique mattresses in that these are the only memory foam beds with adjustable firmness, thanks to the SleepIQ technology.
