Never wake up on the wrong side of bed again! AI MATTRESS uses 360 motion sensors to detect movement and readjusts to ensure you’re in the most comfortable position
- The Emma Motion mattress moulds to the sleeper’s body during a night’s sleep
- It’s described as the ‘most advanced smart mattress’ with built-in AI technology
- Emma Motion uses network of 360 motion sensors to sense changes in pressure
A sleep tech firm has launched an AI mattress that can readjust to ensure the user is in the most comfortable position throughout the night.
Called Emma Motion, the bed uses 360 motion sensors to detect even the smallest amount of pressure and reacts by moulding to the sleeper’s body.
Emma Motion works for anyone regardless of how much they toss and turn to provide ‘maximum comfort and ultimate ergonomics’ and also features a heat-conducting sleep that keeps users cool.
The mattress has been launched in France and Belgium this month for 2,499 euros (about £2,200) and will be released in the UK later this year.
The world’s most advanced smart mattress has been launched by sleep tech brand Emma, set to help address sleep problems
The smart mattress has been created by German sleep tech brand Emma.
‘Our mission at Emma is to help improve people’s lives by changing the way that they sleep, as more and more studies show just how much sleep impacts our overall health,’ said Manuel Mueller, CEO at Emma.
‘We invest heavily in researching and developing products which help people sleep smarter, and this means that the technology in the Emma Motion will truly innovate how the world sleeps; a revolution which we’re proud to lead.’
The top layer contains heat-conducting graphite particles in the foam. The mattress uses all the data it detects to enlarge or reduce the foam layer by means of air both smoothly and silently to fit different sleeping positions
Emma Motion connects to a power source via a cable but it operates silently during the night.
The top of the mattress is covered in a layer of foam, but directly below this is an Infinite AI Sensor, which is effectively a ‘dense grid of motion senors’.
Infinite AI Sensor is responsible for perceiving and responding to changing sleep positions.
As the body moves during sleep, the sensors detect even the slightest pressure and processes this as data in real time.
‘With the help of AI, the data is translated into your current sleeping positions,’ the firm says.
Emma trained a neural network with several terabytes of data to ensure accurate interpretation of the data.
The mattress uses all the data it detects to enlarge or reduce the foam layer by means of air both smoothly and silently to fit different sleeping positions.
‘This active adjustment throughout the night supports that your spine is balanced and aligned,’ Emma says.
Lastly, additional built-in ‘Diamond Degree’ technology makes sure the user will never be hot and bothered throughout the night.
Emma says the Motion ‘completely moulds to your body as you rest and provides a fully customisable experience that is set to revolutionise the way we sleep’
The foam at the top of the mattress consists of millions of heat-conducting graphite particles in the foam.
Emma Motion actively helps regulate temperature by dissipating excess body heat away form the mattress using these particles.
Users are advised to download the accompanying Emma App, on which they can adjust the mattress based on their preferences.
The mattress boasts artificial intelligence (AI) technology developed over two years that ‘works while you rest’
It allows users to adjust the individual settings according to personal preferences for just the right degree of support or pressure relief.
Emma Motion will remember the preferences and apply these throughout the night, for things like optimum spinal alignment.
The mattress is already on sale in Europe, where it retails for 2,499 euros (about £2,200).
Its designers say it will go on sale in the UK ‘later this year’, but are remaining tight-lipped about the UK pricing.
Smart mattress built for premature babies tracks the body temperature of newborns to prevent health issues
Developers of the new bed say it can detect tiny temperature fluctuations to medical standards and instantly warm up to prevent the baby getting any colder
Experts at Nottingham Trent University have partnered with Chesterfield-based manufacturer Rober Ltd to make smart mattresses for premature babies to keep them at the ideal temperature in order to prevent health complications.
Premature babies are often unable to maintain their core body temperature and must be kept toasty at all times.
If not, it can lead to health issues such as metabolic problems and difficulty breathing.
Developers of the new bed say it can detect tiny temperature fluctuations and instantly warm up to prevent the baby getting any colder.
This would work alongside the measures taken by specialist healthcare staff, the products creators say.
A prototype has been built from polyurethane and foam and is currently being tested, and the team hope to release the product ‘in due course’.
