“The Sleep Number 360 smart bed will change how people sleep, with a
fundamentally unique experience – effortless, proven quality sleep,”
said Shelly Ibach, president and CEO of Sleep Number. “Most people don’t
realize what a difference their bed makes to their sleep, which is one
of the most important aspects of their health and wellness. Our new
Sleep Number store in the Flatiron District demonstrates the
transformative impact of our smart bed on individual comfort,
restfulness and well-being. We are improving lives by delivering an
unparalleled sleep experience.”
The revolutionary retail concept, located in a historic building at 136
Fifth Avenue, takes Sleep Number’s best-in-class retail experience to
yet another level, with interactive technology and digital experiences
in a loft-like setting:
-
The store experience includes a large digital map illuminating how
neighborhoods across New York are sleeping. It is a fun competition to
see who is sleeping the best. It’s also a great illustration of Sleep
Number’s powerful sleep tracking and biometric technology – SleepIQ®
technology.
-
The brand’s full Sleep Number 360 smart bed presentation is available
with an interactive experience that illustrates the benefits of smart
sleep. Customers will participate in an individualized experience
using 3-D imaging to identify pressure points and understand how the
360 smart bed will alleviate them. They will see and feel how
adjusting the firmness for each person, their Sleep Number setting,
will result in ideal comfort.
-
Unique to Manhattan, customers can take a 3-minute immersive “ride”
into the science behind our 360 smart bed and understand how our
technology delivers proven quality sleep.
-
A mix-and-match bedding design lab, equipped with a large-scale
digital planner, completes the experience, as customers customize
their ultimate bedroom retreat.
These interactive elements complement the store’s sleep experts, who are
dedicated to the company’s mission.
“The Sleep Number store experience combines the latest in technology
with the expertise of our sleep professionals, to deliver a value-added
experience for our customers. For us, it’s all about helping people find
solutions for their best possible sleep,” says Andy Carlin, chief sales
and services officer. “With the introduction of our 360 smart beds, it’s
the perfect time to enter Manhattan and amplify our New York market
presence.”
