Science-Backed Smart Beds

Sleep Number's Smart Beds Use AI to Adjust to Sleepers' Changing Needs

— April 19, 2023 — Art & Design
Sleep Number's smart beds leverage more than 19 billion hours of proprietary, longitudinal sleep data from the 360 smart beds and use research-quality sensors and artificial intelligence to learn the biometrics and patterns of sleepers. In response, the bed lives up to its name as a smart bed by automatically making adjustments so that sleepers experience the comfort that matches their needs.

“The next gen Sleep Number smart bed is the only science-backed, fully adjustable and effortless smart bed that uses physical and digital experiences designed to improve sleep quality for each sleeper,” said Annie Bloomquist, Executive Vice President and Chief Innovation Officer.

Sleep Number's next-generation smart beds are compatible with the brand's Lifestyle Furniture, another newly announced innovation. Sleep Number Lifestyle Furniture includes ambient lighting to support circadian rhythms, built-in speakers to reduce environmental noise and storage pockets for books and other bedside necessities.
Trend Themes
1. AI-enabled Smart Beds - There is an opportunity for manufacturers to integrate AI technology into smart beds in order to provide tailored sleep solutions for individuals based on their specific needs.
2. Sleep Monitoring Wearable Devices - The demand for sleep tracking technology in the form of wearable devices is expected to increase as consumers become more aware of the importance of sleep health and seek to optimize their sleep patterns.
3. Light and Sound Therapy Technology for Sleep - There is a growing need for light and sound therapy technology to be incorporated into smart beds in order to create a more personalized sleep environment and help individuals achieve deeper, more restful sleep.
Industry Implications
1. Home Furnishing - The home furnishing industry has an opportunity to incorporate smart bed technology into mattresses and furniture, providing consumers with an all-in-one sleep solution.
2. Health and Wellness - The health and wellness industry can explore integrating smart bed technology with existing products such as wearables and apps to provide a holistic approach to sleep health.
3. Technology - The technology industry can collaborate with smart bed manufacturers to develop and integrate advanced sleep tracking and analysis technology for improved performance and comfort.
