These smart beds from Sleep Number aren’t cheap, but they’re supposed to last about twice what a regular mattress lasts, with a minimum of 15 years, according to Sleep Number’s warranty (regular mattresses last about seven to eight years). Aside from the adjustable firmness, a very cool feature is the bed adapts to your position to keep you comfortable, so if you change to sleeping on your side in the middle of the night, the bed will adjust the firmness so you don’t wake up with a sore shoulder
I’ve been using the i8 Smart Bed for nearly a year, and it has helped me learn a lot about my sleep over time. The companion app tracks how long it takes me to fall asleep, my restful sleep, restless sleep (how much tossing and turning I’m doing), and how long it takes me to get out of bed (I’ve been making a conscious effort now to get rid of doom scrolling in the morning). I also get a Sleep Number score that is based on many metrics to tell me the quality of the sleep I got that night. Based on my score, the app gives me recommendations to improve it.
What do you think so far?
You don’t need to buy the integrated base (which you have to buy separately) if you have a bed frame with a flat surface. If your frame has slats, they should be no more than two inches apart. There is an air pump that needs to be plugged into an outlet, and you’ll need space under or next to the bed to store it.
