Research shows people sleep better with SleepIQ Technology

MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jul. 6, 2015-- Sleep Number, the sleep innovation leader whose mission is to improve lives by individualizing sleep experiences, today announced that its Sleep Number® beds with SleepIQ® technology can significantly improve people’s sleep quality.

SleepIQ technology tracks your sleep so you know how to adjust for your best night’s sleep. New Sleep Number research finds that people who used SleepIQ technology experienced improved sleep quality and more restful time in bed.

“This research underscores the value of smart, connected products that contribute to your overall well-being,” said Shelly Ibach, president and CEO, Sleep Number. “Only the Sleep Number bed with SleepIQ technology gives customers knowledge about their sleep and the ability to adjust their bed to their optimal, individualized comfort. It empowers them to take their sleep from good to great to awesome – helping them make the most out of their day.”

The study participants used the information provided by SleepIQ technology to make adjustments to the comfort of their bed – their Sleep Number® setting. They also made different lifestyle choices for a better night’s sleep, which included prioritizing exercise, having a consistent bed time, reducing caffeine consumption and reducing screen-time before bed.

SleepIQ users know what adjustments to make for better sleep because, every day, SleepIQ tells them. A SleepIQ user said, “I love the fact that SleepIQ helps me find the proper Sleep Number setting.”
