The i7 is the only smart mattress that is filled with gel memory foam, which makes it great for side sleepers. The comforting system is five inches wide, and the firmness goes from soft to medium, so if you were looking for a soft smart mattress, here it is. Couples may prefer this mattress, as the firmness of each side of the bed can be adjusted.

Side sleepers and people who sleep on their back, find this mattress to be very comfortable, as long as they are in the light to an average group of weight. If you have back pain, this mattress can help to reduce it.
The IT industry is full of innovations, which leads to fast changes in the industry of smart mattresses. The Rest is considered to be one of the most technologically advanced products in this field. One of the reasons for this is the adjustment of firmness. Based on a sleeper’s preference the setting of firmness can be automatic, which means that the firmness changes based on the sleeper’s habits. The second setting is manual and the third is called ‘Position Detection’ which changes during the night based on the position of the person sleeping on the mattress. Sensors measure movement during the night, and this allows the application to adjust the firmness to a perfect degree. It can sync with any wireless device.
One of the most impressive features is that the firmness can be adjusted in the head, shoulder, and leg area. The shoulder part may need to be a little softer than the stomach part of the mattress, so the air chambers adjust this during the night. This takes care of the general issue that people have with air mattresses, and that is pressure and pain. Since air beds can’t transfer firmness to all parts of the body adequately, many sleepers end waking up in the morning with aches and pain. The ReST is more on the softer side, making it best for those in the light to average weight groups.
The ReST bed can sync with any home tech very easily. The biggest downside is its price – $4000 for a Queen. The model comes with a sleep trial of 90 days and a warranty of 10 years.
Reviews have shown that this mattress is excellent for couples and people who prefer firmer models. Also, back and side sleepers enjoy the possibility of firmness adjustment.
Anything updated with technology and/or an app gets a prefix ‘’smart’’. Smart mattresses are improved by tech so that we can improve our sleep. The apps can collect information about our sleep stages, if we tend to sleep hot, track our heart rate and breathing and similar. Some of these mattresses can even adjust the temperature, loft height, firmness, and also connect to your wifi. Sometimes they are remote-controlled or have an application that controls all the features.
It is not easy to make a mattress that is technologically advanced, so smart beds are typically expensive and hard to find. Some can be cheaper than others, but the average price is around $1900. For this amount of money, you can get three regular mattresses.
