A bed is one such inevitable part of sleep. While some would say, “Who needs a bed to sleep? There’s always the couch, the floor, the mattress”. I would reiterate the words of several docs and say, “Mind the surface you sleep on”. And it just isn’t me who says so, meet ReST Bed which states and has come into survival for the same reason.
ReST Bed
Our phones are smart, home locks are smart, even the kitchen is a smart place to be in, so why not our beds? A bed which knows what you need when you are unaware of your own needs.
What it exactly is?
Pressure sensing fabrics, have you heard of them? Well, ReST Beds for the very first time has brought this technology for the benefit of the common man. A mattress which can be laid beneath the outer layer of a usual mattress, ReST Bed comes with fancy chambers which tunes itself to your body movement during your sleep and adjusts accordingly. It pushes up at times or pulls out air at other times by keeping a track of your body while you are slumbering. Further, the air chambers are connected with a silent pump which is tackled by a microprocessor.
The science behind sleeping
Your body has multiple pressure points. The ReST Bed monitors these pressure points and decides on your behalf the level of comfort you are in need of at a particular point during your sleep. It then puts its air chambers into action which swells or flattens the mattress accordingly.
Is it any good?
Just so you know, before it reached the commoners, the technology has been a guarded secret amidst great institutes which deal with maladies pertaining to spine. Memorial Sloan-Kettering and Atlanta Spine Center, to name a few.
Why is it called smart?
Well, because it knows your body and acts accordingly. It then further, makes you aware of your sleeping patterns and the level of performance which can be expected of you given your sleeping pattern. It can be WiFi connected with your home which would further help you create a better sleeping environment-sound, light and the like. I believe these traits makes it deserving enough to be called smart.
