While sleep tracking devices have been praised by consumers for being an effective way to ensure quality rest, the Sleep Number It Bed is here to help enhance the experience by going straight to the source. Featuring a bevy of built-in sensors that will not only track movement, but also heart rate and breathing, the Sleep Number It Bed can be paired with the data recorded from wearable monitors to help merge findings.
After the sensors in the bed have analyzed rest, the device will suggest ways that the user can help to improve their rest patterns. Set to be available this summer in six different styles, the Sleep Number It Bed can be seen at CES 2016 where it has already garnered a few innovation awards.
