What's wrong with just a regular mattress? Why does it have to be connected to the internet? :(
It adjusts temperature (can heat OR cool and in some versions it can heat one side and cool the other) and I think the even more expensive version can morph a bit to your liking, and according to them, reduce snoring.
What they don't mention is that regardless of whether you get the 3600 euro option or the 5800 euro option, you still have to SUPPLY YOUR OWN MATTRESS. It's also a subscription service.
If you didn't hate it enough, it's also advertised as being "powered by AI". Which almost certainly is just some temperature adjustment algorithm, maybe even a deterministic one.
Here I am like a plebe using a hot water bottle when cold and less bedsheets when hot. If only I knew there was a technical solution for a problem that's already been solved hundreds of times over!
I just wait till it gets hot when cold because I'm a furnace. Mostly it's hot though. That problem hasn't been solved. Lack of bedsheets doesn't cool things down.
You don't need the internet to do those things though
That's definitely true, I just explained why the mattress has tech inside it in the first place. Or the mattress cover, really.
It'd easily be accomplished with a couple of buttons too.
