High Tech Beds

At what point does a bed have to be smart enough that we can be sufficiently afraid to go to sleep in it? I understand we want everything so connected but this bed that was showcased at the CES is going overboard. First of all the bed has a WiFi connection. Why is this necessary? Because a bunch of sensors built into the bed can track your sleep patterns, relaying your sleepy-time data to a connected app that gives you a sleep score. Also with the internet connectivity you might throw in some app development for this bed and program how it work and more than you can do with it. The bed also has tasteful ambient lighting that shoots out from under it in a sort of nightlight mode. And the thing does full-body massage, because of course it does if you are going to be paying eight grand for it. All existing technology of it aside, use your imagination as to the different apps and sensors that you can have on it.

  3. Do you really need software development for a bed? Can you imagine the news story if this software were hacked?

  4. Maybe some great things can come from this type of software development. Sleep research can have a different angle.
