subjects of different sizes and in various sleeping positions. The It Bed by Sleep Number offered
Only mediocre support for petite, average, and large/tall sleepers who sleep on their back or side and
was worse than that for large/tall back sleepers. It is also less forgiving when one partner changes
Positions, meaning the other will most likely be shaken or jostled.
By contrast, in our tests its two brandmates, the Sleep Number i8 Bed, $3,000, and the Sleep
Number c2 Bed, $800, provide very good support for all side sleepers, and even better for some who
sleep on their back. And when one partner tosses and turns, the other is less likely to be bothered.
The part that's smart on the It Bed is the WiFi-enabled pump and the SleepIQ app, which lets you
adjust the air bladders from your smartphone and track your sleeping habits. The other two beds we

We average the two, and our experts have found that there's little difference in support and firmness
between Sleep Number's lower and higher levels of inflation. The new It Bed scores a 3 in firmness
on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the firmest.
Later this year, Sleep Number is coming out with a new line of adjustable air mattresses called the
Sleep Number 360 Smart Bed. They'll have some intriguing features, including one that adjusts the
bed automatically by adding or removing air as you change positions, a foot warmer that kicks in
Shortly before your regular bedtime, and a so-called snore detector that raises your head via the
adjustable base to alleviate mild snoring. It comes with SleepIQ and can sync with your fitness
tracker and other apps including the one for the Nest thermostat to adjust the temperature based on
its reading of your body temperature.
When the Sleep Number 360 mattresses hit the market, we will evaluate whether to purchase and test one.
