Can a smart bed really help you sleep better?

2016-11-21
by far the coolest thing about getting to spend over a month testing out the it bed by Sleep Number a 1099 dollar queen-size mattress with smart tech built into it is that I've gotten to sleep on a mattress that's significantly more comfortable than the lumpy old mattress I had at home before it also has built-in sensors that track your breathing rate and your heart rate every single night so when you wake up it has all sorts of information they're ready for you it gives you a daily a weekly and a monthly report of your overall averages as well so you can track trends and see just how well you've been sleeping the thing I love about that is that it lets you see long-term how you can improve your sleep but there are a couple of things I don't love about this mattress for starters almost 1,100 bucks is a time to spend on a smart mattress so I would expect that it would have a little more smart tech that would give it the edge to make it worth spending that much money the problem is that I didn't quite encounter that with Sleep Number the smarts with the third party integrations they promise so I set up a nest thermostat a wide thing scale a couple of fit bits they didn't integrate the way that I hoped they would they pull in a lot of data but the problem is so far those integrations aren't actually telling me a lot and that's something I would love to see in the future so even though I like this bed I think it's super comfortable I'm not sure the value is quite there or that the smarts are quite there just yet
