# Atmosphere-Attuned Beds The Panasonic Bed Controls the Environment for Perfect Slumber By Katherinev123 | Published 2009-10-21 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/panasonic-bed References: [newlaunches](http://www.newlaunches.com/archives/panasonics_sleep_bed_promised_a_good_slumber_at_12178.php) & [bornrich.org](http://www.bornrich.org/entry/panasonic-sleeping-bed-brings-back-the-long-lost-pleasure/) Promising the [perfect sleep experience](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aidriven-mattress), the [Panasonic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-environmental-management) bed, which was developed by Matsushita Electric Works, uses Panasonic’s special ‘sleep’ technology to control the environmental factors associated with bed time. The Panasonic bed system understands the [lighting, sound, and air conditioning](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/water-robotics) in the room, as well as your lack of movement as you begin to relax. When it senses that you are ready for bed, the Panasonic bed can gradually decrease any music, TV, or lighting you have on so you don’t have to do it yourself. In the morning, it turns it all back on for you. With a $12,178 price tag, however, I guess I’ll have to stick to warm milk, lavender oil, and a noise machine. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.4/10 - Popularity: 36% | Activity: 29% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Smart Beds:** There is an opportunity for companies to create beds with intelligent control systems that optimize environmental factors such as light, sound, and temperature for better sleep. - **Sleep Technology:** Sleep technology will continue to advance, creating new opportunities for companies to develop innovative products to improve sleep quality. - **Personalized Sleep:** There is potential for personalized sleep systems to be developed that cater to an individual's specific sleep needs and preferences. ### Who This Affects Most - **Furniture:** Furniture companies have the opportunity to integrate technology and develop smart beds for better sleep experiences. - **Home Automation:** Home automation companies can expand their offerings to include sleep technology and develop intelligent home systems that optimize the sleeping environment. - **Health and Wellness:** Health and wellness companies can incorporate sleep technology into their products and services to help individuals improve their sleep quality. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Smart Temperature-Balancing Beds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/innovation-series-smart-beds.md) - [Audio-Centric Sleep Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seventy-five.md) - [AI-Powered Sleep Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sleep-eight-pod-5.md) - [Advanced Sensing Smart Beds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sleep-number-360.md) - [Self-Adjusting Mattresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-care-air-mattress.md) - [Science-Backed Smart Beds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sleep-numbers-smart-beds.md) - [AI-Enhanced Medical Beds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-medicare-bed-20.md) - [Smart Sleep-Improving Mattresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nitetronic-t3-pro.md) - [High-Tech Smart Mattresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/patented-sleep-technology.md)
