Overheating at night? An AI-enabled mattress cover could be the answer
Orion, a startup, aims to combat America's sleep loss problem with an AI-enabled mattress cover. The cover adjusts temperature throughout the night to improve sleep quality and comfort. Harry Gestetner, the CEO, was inspired by the strong connection between sleep and longevity. The company's technology uses sensors and AI to optimize temperature based on individual sleep patterns. Users can pre-order the cover, which includes the cover itself and a companion device for temperature control. The cover monitors factors like body temperature and heart rate to regulate temperature. This technology offers dual-zone temperature control for couples and collects data through a home sleep test. Orion's design includes leak prevention and is designed for easy water top-offs. The company plans to expand its product line and offer more affordable options, aiming for price points as low as $500. Orion also plans to supply hotels with their technology in the future.
