Introducing the award-winning it™ bed that makes you smarter (about
sleep)
LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 5, 2016--
The words ‘Las Vegas’ and ‘quality sleep’ aren’t typically found in the
same sentence. But this week, tech-savvy enthusiasts looking for better
sleep have found it at the 2016 International Consumer Electronics Show
(CES) — the
it™ bed by Sleep Number. It effortlessly quantifies your sleep,
connects to select applications, and has predictive modeling that makes
suggestions to improve your sleep. And unlike ordinary mattresses, you
can adjust each side of the it bed to your individual preference – which
takes the worry out of an online-mattress purchase.

“The it bed is made for the millennial customer who believes quality
sleep is essential to their health, wellbeing and overall performance,”
said Shelly Ibach, president and chief executive officer, Select
Comfort. “We expect this generation, more than any other, to demand more
from their mattress. The it bed makes you smarter about your sleep,
connects to your outside world and offers a holistic view of how your
day impacts your sleep — all at an incredible value.”
The it bed is a CES Innovation Awards honoree in multiple categories:
Fitness, Sports and Biotech, and Home Appliances. The bed was recognized
for its:
-
SleepIQ® technology —
SleepIQ technology integrated into the bed tracks your sleep, offers
insights and makes suggestions for the best sleep of your life.
Touch-free, biometric sensors track your whole body hundreds of times
per second (heart and breathing rates, presence and restfulness).
Based on your individual SleepIQ® data, the technology
learns your routine, and uses adaptive algorithms and predictive
modeling to recommend adjustments to your daily habits and environment.
-
ActiveComfort™ technology — The it bed has dual, foam-filled
air chambers that respond to individuals’ constantly changing needs
and adjust to your ideal level of comfort, firmness and support (your
Sleep Number® setting).
-
SleepIQ® API — With SleepIQ API
(Application Program Interface) on the inside, you can connect to your
world outside and track items important to you — individualized
comfort, exercise, nutrition, environment, schedules — to make you
smarter about your sleep.
Based on your daily activity, SleepIQ technology makes recommendations
for your best night’s sleep. For example, after a hard work out, SleepIQ
technology might suggest a different Sleep Number setting and going to
bed earlier to recover. And research
shows that when Sleep Number customers adjust the firmness of their
bed, they are 58 percent more likely to improve their sleep quality.
“Today, we collect more than a billion biometric data points a night,
and this next step in expanding our technology platform will further
strengthen our data analytics to deliver even better individualized
sleep solutions for our customers,” said Ibach. “This is an exciting
time where we see people adopting technology to improve individual
health and wellness faster than ever before.”
The it bed will be exclusive to Sleep Number and will be available at itbed.com
for around $1,000 later in 2016. It will be delivered to your doorstep
and can be assembled in minutes. In addition, the advanced SleepIQ
technology — with the new predictive modeling — will be available to all
current SleepIQ users as a software update in 2016.

About the SleepIQ Study
In partnership with YouGov, Sleep Number conducted an online survey of
1,079 Sleep Number customers that use SleepIQ® technology to
understand what drives changes in sleep quality (measured as restful
time in bed) and understand behaviors and attitudes of sleepers who have
both improvement and decline in sleep quality. The sample was randomly
selected from two groups of SleepIQ technology customers, and uses
SleepIQ® data from June 2015 and September 2015.
