How Technology is Making Mattresses Better


There is not a single sector which hasn’t had a taste of technology. The trend right now in all kinds of operations is in finding a means to an end – the easiest means for that. Man has made everything better, life easier, living fancier! Nowhere is this more evident than the revolutionized mattress industry. As a matter of fact, if my Great Granny made the horrible mistake of peeking at my room from her grave – rest her soul in harmonious peace – she might receive a heart attack that would lead to her second death. I mean; imagine kicking the nasty bucket in an archaic generation and coming back to rooms that talk and beds that move and re-adjust themselves for perfect comfort. Seeing ghosts is much easier to process than this surely.


Long story short, it’s all merrymaking in the bed industry; technology is a big contributor to these transformations. Nonetheless, it’s about time I put you guys into the light and share on some of these wonders. Prepare to be awed.


It’s quite impossible to attach the term ‘boring’ to the bed industry as was the case some years past. This was primarily because of the lack of innovation in the industry. Right now, it’s actually a cool topic among businesses and even friends – variety has made this very much possible.

Latex or the All-Time Memory Foam

If you haven’t heard of the popularized memory foam, you are living in a world of your own! When it comes to the make, popular online companies have popped up with cheaper forms of memory foam. This is in consideration of the vast love and preference of the soft foam feel from the American consumer. Nonetheless, synthetic foams have an allergic effect to a number of people who end up going for latex. This offers relative smoothness as well as top comfort.

Nonetheless, older designs such as the spring beds are still being melded with newer forms to come up with a hybrid selection that has also appealed to a good number of buyers. I guess, at the end of the day, old will still be gold. That said, getting the best mattress should primarily depend on your comfort levels on the different firmness as well as your sleeping position.

Smart Sleep

In this day and age, once you come by the term ‘smart’ you definitely start thinking of science and technology. For years, snoring has been a problem for many people which most people only realize once their partner starts complaining. Now, imagine a bed that will automatically adjust your body positioning immediately you start snoring. The logic is, once your bed adjusts your body by raising your head region, breathing will be much easier.


It doesn’t end there; these beds will give you your sleep record after analyzing your nights. The results are sent to an app on your Android or iOS device. In fact, with this kind of a bed, the inbuilt alarm system will wake you up immediately you are through with the light stages of sleep.

Forget sleeping with your windows open as you hopelessly search for some temperature control – your smart bed has your back. I know you’re all smiles in wonderment and awe; wait till you hear the prices of these beds. If you’re considering to go the smart way, it’s better you be notified earlier on in advance – be prepared to chip in digger in those pockets.

Bed-In-A-Box

One thing that has hindered many investors over the years from venturing into the mattress industry is the expenses involved in purchasing the raw materials. The answer – technology! Cheaper means to make the same sized mattresses are being incorporated to come up with easier to transport bed-in-a-box. This has cut down on costs for both the consumer and the manufacturer. On an honest note, when it comes to the bed industry, the sky is but the start of the limit.


There is so much to say on the developments popping up day in day out in this multi-billion dollar industry.
