A bed that downloads movies to watch before bedtime, adjusts pillows, changes temperature, and even gives a massage is being created.
Mark Quinn of the company has revealed that the bed will come with sensors, temperature controls, internet connectivity, and a home theatre options.
"No one in the bedding industry has ever put so much technology into a bed or sleep system. It's a first for us and a first for the industry," ABC online quoted Quinn as saying.
He says that vibration sensors in the mattress will be capable of picking up a person's snoring, tossing and turning, and breathing patterns. The bed is being programmed to elevate the snorer's head seven degrees to open airwaves. It will return to its original position when the snoring stops.
For the first 30 days, the bed will track the sleeper's sleeping habits to learn the sleep pattern. It will also be capable of sensing any unusual restlessness, and offering recommendations for a better sleep.
Besides, water circulating through small channels in the mattress may be warmed or cooled, as per the sleeper's preferences.
