I remember when Hyper-Elastic Polymer was the strangest thing you could find in a mattress. Thanks to its woven strings, the Anssil Sleepinbody-Incline Smart Mattress i4 earned a Digital Health Innovation Award at CES 2024. It’s also the weirdest thing I’ve ever seen in a mattress.
This smart mattress has an inner web of 14 million 3D woven strings. That’s right, you can forget about pocketed coils or springs. Anssil said in a press release that the strings will maintain their structure and prevent sinking, which can happen over time with traditional memory-foam beds.
The cool thing about the strings is that they can change their firmness level, height and angle based on the biometric data of the bed’s 540 pressure and heart-rate sensors. Then the AI-driven Internet of Things system turns all that information into personalized sleep data in the Anssil Link app.
This isn’t just a mattress
OK, it is a mattress, but not a normal one. Think of it as the most sophisticated inflatable mattress you can buy with a matching incline base. The mattress has a controller that allows you to adjust through 10 cushion levels by pressing a button. The connectivity of this smart bed, however, gives it an edge when it comes to health monitoring.
