Sleep Number’s newest smart bed is designed to keep you cool at night. The ClimateCool smart bed, starting at $5,499, is the latest product from the company famous for its adjustable mattress firmness. In a press release, the company says the new mattress can keep your body at the optimal temperature with its “scientifically backed” cooling programs that could be of particular interest to people dealing with symptoms of menopause.
This is Sleep Number’s second smart bed that offers individual temperature control on either side of the bed. The Climate360, which launched in 2020, similarly actively draws heat away from your body to help you stay cool, but unlike the ClimateCool, it can also warm you up if you’re too chilly at night.
But while the 360 starts at a whopping $10,000 for a Queen size, the new ClimateCool starts at $5,499. This pricing includes a base; you can get the adjustable one for $1,500 more. Competitors such as Eight Sleep’s cooling and heating mattress cover with an adjustable base start at $2,649, but you need to buy your own mattress.
Sleep Number says the ClimateCool uses the same cooling technology as the Climate360, and both mattresses in the Climate series can use the active cooling feature enabled by its new SmartTemp cooling programs. These were developed with research from Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine and work in conjunction with ceramic gel layers and a breathable sleep surface in the mattress to keep you cool while adjusting to your body’s temperature throughout the night.
Sleep Number said it conducted studies that found that body temperature changes during menopause negatively impact sleep quality. Its survey of more than 10,550 Sleep Number bed users found that “90 percent of female respondents experiencing menopause or perimenopause suffer from night sweats.”
The company claims its active cooling technology could help people experiencing menopause sleep better by sensing their body’s temperature changes and drawing excess heat away from them with its dynamic airflow system. As with its adjustable firmness, each side of the bed can be set to a different cooling program so one person can stay cool while their partner stays cozy.
Users can create their own cooling program or choose from two programs designed to address different needs, including recovery from workouts, deep sleep, menopause, illness recovery, and relaxation:
‘All Night Cooling,’ which keeps sleepers cool and can help ease temperature changes and hot flashes.
‘Deep Sleep Cooling,’ designed to help reduce sleep disruptions in the middle of the night.
As with all Sleep Number mattresses, the ClimateCool features adjustable firmness and built-in sleep tracking that measures your biosignals to provide you with a sleep report. These features are accessed through the Sleep Number app.
The Sleep Number ClimateCool smart bed is available now at sleepnumber.com and at Sleep Number stores, starting at $5,499 (Queen size, with integrated base) and $6,999 (Queen size, with FlexFit 2 adjustable base).
