There’s Nothing like a Good Night’s Sleep: 3 Notable Advantages Smart Mattresses Have over the Regular Ones

We all know that feeling tired and groggy after a lousy night’s sleep is an awful feeling, but did you know that being chronically fatigued can cause severe health issues? Consistently failing to get adequate sleep can increase your risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, and obesity. Even having one night without enough sleep can affect you enough the next day that your reaction times will be similar to if you were drunk.

How your mattress affects your sleep
Older mattresses can become a breeding ground for dust mites, something that many people can have allergic reactions to. If your mattress is getting on in age, you may notice more sniffling, sneezing, or sinus issues in the morning or over the course of the night. This will, of course, keep you up.

If your mattress is too soft or too hard, you may also find yourself tossing or turning in the night to try to find a comfortable position. While this may not wake you up entirely, tossing will still interrupt your sleep cycle enough that you will feel exhausted the next morning.

If you’re looking to get a better night’s sleep and have been considering a smart mattress, consider finding a company that lets you rent furniture like Rentomojo so you can see how the bed will work for you before investing.

Three advantages a smart mattress has over a regular one.

Technology
A smart mattress is primarily designed to help you sleep better using technology. These decorative mattresses can help track your sleeping patterns, without requiring you to wear a fitness tracker or sleep with your phone under your pillow. These mattresses track the amount of time you spend in bed, how long it takes you to fall asleep, and the amount and moving you do when you’re in bed. Some even analyze breathing and heart rates.

By collecting sleep data, your smart mattress will be able to give you more information on how you’re sleeping during the night and give insight as to how you can sleep better than you are now.

Dual climate zones

Whether you’re a hot sleeper or a cold sleeper, many people find it hard to get a good night’s sleep when they’re not at a comfortable temperature. However, a smart mattress can offer dual climate control that will heat or cool each side of the bed to the desired temperature. Because some mattresses don’t provide the cooling option, you can look for a place that will provide a mattress on rent so you can try out the bed you’re interested in and see if it will still work for you.

Integrates with your smart home

A smart home can make the place you live more efficient, safer, and more intuitive, so it only makes sense that you would want to start adding your furniture to this—if you could. Luckily, a smart mattress allows you to do just that. You can set up your smart mattress on some smart home systems and ask it for a review of your sleeping patterns the next morning. You can also have your mattress coordinate with your lighting and thermostat to light, cool, and warm the home to your preferred settings.
