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.
