Get ready, New Yorkers, for a "smart" bed that tracks how well or poorly you perform in bed.
Wait! Not that kind of performance.
Select Comfort's Sleep IQ technology tracks sleep by monitoring users' respiration, heart rate and how often they wake up at night. The data is then relayed to a mobile app that lets users view their sleep patterns and, hopefully, narrow down what factors (alcohol, stress) have disrupted their night's rest.
Starting in June, Select Comfort will include the Sleep IQ tracking technology in all of its Sleep Number beds across all of its retail stores, including those in New York, Peter Sils, the company's vice president of clinical research told The Post.
Until now, the Nasdaq-traded company had been testing the built-in sensors in its top-of-the-line X12 bed, which costs at least $8,000 and is not available in the New York area.
Under the planned expansion, the sensor technology will be connected to Select Comfort's cheapest Sleep Number mattress, which costs under $1,000, Sils said.
The company's move into sleep monitoring comes as large companies compete to turn regular household goods, from refrigerators to coffee mugs, into "smart" and connected technology.
Samsung is selling a series of "smart" watches that monitor heart rate and track activity — as well as phone calls, texts and emails. Intel CEO Brian Krzanich recently introduced a "smart" baby onesie that would alert parents to the baby's temperature and mood.
Sils said Select Comfort's Sleep IQ system stems from technology created by a man who wanted to monitor his premature babies' vitals without having to keep the baby connected to uncomfortable wires. The solution was an air-filled mattress that tracked the baby's vitals while providing comfort at the same time, Sils said.
