Sleep Number's smart beds are a regular feature at the Consumer Electronics Show. Sleep Number is updating its smart beds with new features like built-in sensors, lights, and mobility accessories, as well as adding on other tech like lights and mobility accessories. According to Sleep Number, the idea is to create more accessible smart beds so that people can age more comfortably or recover from injuries.
There is a new addition to the bed called smart furniture. Sleep Number says that it was built to support sleep health and make its beds more accessible, and that it looks like one of those fancy headboards with built-in shelves. Mobility aids are included in the smart furniture to help people who may need assistance exiting the bed. It has built-in reading lights, charging ports, and storage areas, and it also has individual audio and noise reduction technology. The furniture has lighting that is amber-colored at night and a dawn simulator in the morning to help maintain normal rhythms.

Sleep Number seems to be trying to position the 360 bed as a potential healthcare tool, though the updates seem to be focused on refining its smart capabilities rather than introducing new features. Sleep Number says the new bed can continuously monitor a person's general health, sleep health behaviors, and chronic sleep issues, and generate real-time insights and suggestions for sleepers, their caregivers, and doctors. It says that the bed can identify abnormal events and notify the sleeping person that something is off.
Sleep Number has always given sleep insights and reports, but the company says it is closer to a future where it can alert users of oncoming illness and risks for conditions like insomnia, sleep apnea, or cardiac events. This does not mean that Sleep Number's beds can diagnose any of these conditions. That would require FDA clearance and even the most advanced smartwatches aren't quite there yet, though there is plenty of research being done on that front.

Even though it might be an impressive achievement under the hood, better accuracy isn't all that exciting on paper. Sleep Number says that it has used over 12 billion hours of sleep data to innovate its bed. Adding high-tech textiles, antimicrobial components, and graphite- infused foam are some of the small changes included in physical updates.
Sleep Number said that the new smart beds will be able to monitor body temperature and tilt the bed to improve air flow without sacrificing spine alignment. Sleep Number says you can adjust the height to make it easier to get out of the bed. This isn't as fun as the foot-warming feature it introduced in 2017, but greater accessibility and accuracy are always welcome.
The new smart beds will be priced at over $1,000. Sleep Number hasn't decided pricing for the smart furniture, which will be available in 2023.
