What is a smart bed, and how do you choose the right one?
Sponsor Content Created With Sleep Number
There are mattresses on the market for every type of sleeper, from those who sleep on their stomachs to those who tend to run hot. But as you get older and your sleep patterns and health needs evolve, what you once thought was a great mattress may not always be the best fit. Since we spend over a third of our lives in bed, it's important to invest in one with longevity.
Enter Sleep Number smart beds. These beds are engineered with sleep-wellness technology that delivers personalized comfort tailored to your needs. From temperature control to firmness adjustments to sleep-health insights, each smart bed has innovative features that help improve your sleep quality – which is vital to your overall health and well-being. Choosing the right smart bed can be tricky, so we created a quick guide below to help you narrow down your options. Plus, all the items below are on sale right now thanks to Sleep Number's biggest sale of the year.
For Temperature Regulation
There is nothing more frustrating than a restless night caused by being too hot or too cold. Sharing a bed with a partner whose ideal temperature differs from yours adds another layer of annoyance. That's where the Climate360 smart bed comes in. This smart bed actively removes and adds heat throughout the night based on your preferences to create the perfect sleeping climate. The temperature can also be altered on either side of the bed, offering the perfect solution for hot-and-cold couples. One of the most enticing features is the foot warmer, which helps you fall into a deep sleep more quickly.
For Extra Support and Comfort
As you age, it's important to find a bed that properly supports your body. Smart beds are highly adjustable—you can modify everything from the firmness to the incline to suit your needs. Those who experience back or joint pain may also benefit from smart beds, which contour to your body to relieve pressure and change in firmness based on your movements throughout the night. The iLE Limited Edition smart bed's multiple layers provide extra plushness and comfort to help you wake up each morning feeling energized and well-rested.
For an Affordable Compromise
If you like the options above, but looking for something more pared back, then we recommend Sleep Number's c2 smart bed. It has similar features to the other options—including adjustability and a ceramic gel layer that creates a cooler and more breathable surface—but it has a slimmer shape and a more approachable price point. No matter which smart bed you choose, you can track your sleeping patterns and get personalized insights using the brand's app, helping you improve not only your sleep quality but also your overall health.
