This is what Sleep Number is best known for. The titular Sleep Number setting. It’s an individualized firmness setting, adjustable in increments of 5 from 5 to 100. All of Sleep Number’s offerings have this feature. You can find your Sleep Number setting to get effortless sleep on the comfortably priced c2 smart bed or the enhanced pressure relief providing p6 smart bed. Some folks sleep better on an unyielding surface, while others prefer a bed softer than the one in The Princess and the Pea.

2. They help manage your temperature
Temperature regulation is an issue for everyone. In a survey of the Sleep Science Panel, a cohort of more than 500,000 Smart Sleepers who have opted to participate in the brand’s ongoing sleep science research, 84% of respondents ages 35–54 experience night sweats. Keeping cool is vital to your comfort and ability to stay asleep. Each smart bed provides a layer of ceramic gel that pulls away heat from your body and distributes it through the mattress, helping you maintain a comfortable temperature throughout the night.
3. It adjusts to your tosses and turns

Each of these smart beds, including the Sleep Number i8, comes with a feature called Responsive Air. As you sleep, it senses your movements and automatically adjusts your smart bed to maintain comfort all night long. The i8, with the most generous pressure-relieving layers available, will make sure your nap is uninterrupted by any shifts.
4. The app provides better info for better sleep
A good night’s sleep is useful, but what’s really vital is understanding how you got that rest. The better you understand your nighttime routine, the easier it will be for you to replicate it.
