Insights

The launch of Sleep Number's ClimateCool™ smart bed represents a significant advancement in sleep technology, particularly addressing temperature-related sleep issues. This innovation is especially relevant given the aging population and the projected 1.2 billion women approaching or experiencing menopause by 2030.

Key features of the ClimateCool™ smart bed include:

  • Active cooling technology that can cool up to 15% on each side
  • Scientifically-backed cooling programs developed with Northwestern University
  • Individualized comfort settings for couples
  • AI-driven sleep tracking and personalized insights

The collaboration with the Feinberg School of Medicine at Northwestern University adds credibility to the product's health claims. This partnership, along with Sleep Number's own research presented at the Menopause Society's 2024 Annual Meeting, demonstrates a commitment to evidence-based product development.

While the product shows promise for improving sleep quality, especially for menopausal women and couples with different temperature preferences, the high price point (starting at $5,499 for a Queen size) may limit market penetration. However, the inclusion of a smart adjustable base and the potential health benefits could justify the cost for some consumers.

This launch aligns with growing consumer interest in health-tech products and could position Sleep Number favorably in the competitive smart bed market. The ability to provide ongoing updates and new features via over-the-air updates adds long-term value proposition for customers.

Sleep Number's introduction of the ClimateCool™ smart bed represents a strategic move to capture a growing market segment. With a starting price of $5,499 for a Queen size, this premium product has the potential to boost the company's average selling price and profit margins.

Key financial implications include:

  • Potential for increased revenue from higher-priced offerings
  • Opportunity to upsell existing customers to newer technology
  • Recurring revenue potential from software updates and additional features
  • Differentiation in a competitive market, potentially leading to market share gains

The partnership with Northwestern University and the scientific backing of the product could enhance brand credibility, potentially reducing marketing costs in the long term. Additionally, the focus on addressing menopausal symptoms taps into a large and growing demographic, which could drive sustained demand.

However, investors should consider the current economic environment and consumer spending trends. The high price point may limit adoption, especially if discretionary spending tightens. The company's ability to manage production costs and maintain margins will be crucial, given the advanced technology incorporated into the product.

Overall, this launch aligns with Sleep Number's strategy of leveraging technology for growth and could positively impact the company's financial performance if market reception is strong.

New science-backed temperature programs developed with Feinberg School of Medicine at Northwestern University to improve sleep quality

MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Today, Sleep Number Corporation (Nasdaq: SNBR), the sleep wellness technology leader, launched the new ClimateCool™ smart bed: the only smart bed that actively cools and effortlessly adjusts to both sleepers – ideal for couples with different sleep needs and preferences. Sleep Number’s latest smart bed builds on the active temperature technology of its award-winning Climate360® smart bed, which cools and warms on both sides. In addition to featuring adjustable firmness on each side, the new ClimateCool delivers cooling relief for each sleeper by actively drawing warm air away from their body to support their ideal climate. Plus, it features scientifically backed cooling programs, developed in partnership with research conducted at the Feinberg School of Medicine at Northwestern University. The programs are designed to provide deeper, more comfortable sleep. In fact, the ClimateCool smart bed cools up to 15 degrees on each side of the bed for each sleeper's ideal sleep temperature* and cools up to 20 times faster than a leading competitor.** The new smart bed is available as part of Sleep Number’s new Climate™ Series, a collection of smart beds designed with active air technology and individualized temperature control.

Sleep quality and temperature are closely connected, with 80 percent of couples reporting one or both partners sleep too hot or too cold.*** Science also tells us temperature fluctuations are common throughout life and with various conditions, which can impact sleep. For instance, menopausal women struggle with being too warm at night: by surveying Sleep Number’s Sleep Science Panel, a total cohort of 494,000 Smart Sleepers who have opted to participate in the brand’s ongoing sleep science research, Sleep Number found that menopause negatively impacts sleep quality of women ages 35–54 who experience moderate to severe symptoms. The survey, which yielded responses from more than 10,550 Smart Sleepers, also revealed that 90 percent of female respondents experiencing menopause or perimenopause suffer from night sweats.

“Our purpose is to improve the health and wellbeing of society through higher quality sleep. With an aging U.S. population and nearly 1.2B women in or nearing menopause globally by 2030±, temperature is an issue greatly impacting society,” said Shelly Ibach, Chair, President and CEO, Sleep Number. “Our new ClimateCool smart bed and partnership with world-class researchers at Northwestern University supports all sleepers in their need to sleep comfortably in their optimal cooling environment. We are committed to supporting women’s health through all stages, and the ClimateCool smart bed is a meaningful innovation that will positively impact society’s wellbeing.”

Sleep Number ClimateCool smart bed features include:

  • Superior Cooling Technology: Sleep Number’s dynamic airflow system draws excess heat away from the body, instantly cooling and refreshing the sleeper's microclimate. Combined with cooling ceramic gel layers and a breathable sleep surface, it provides highly effective cooling for both sleepers. Sleep Number’s cooling method is unique in the market. Competitor air-based solutions push heat through the mattress to the sleeper, recycling warm air onto the sleeper’s body, and competitor water-based solutions do not feature active air flow, resulting in minimal impact on the sleeper’s microclimate.
  • Cooling Programs Backed by Science: Sleep Number’s new SmartTemp™ Programs are scientifically supported cooling programs developed in partnership with research conducted at the Feinberg School of Medicine at Northwestern University to enhance sleep comfort. Renowned sleep physician Dr. Phyllis Zee spearheaded the research, which monitored the effects of temperature on sleep, and led to the development of the SmartTemp Programs. Our smart sleepers can choose from these cooling programs, which automatically adjust throughout the night to match their sleep schedule and individual needs – ideal for recovery, deep sleep, menopause, illness recovery and relaxation. Available programs for our Climate Series smart beds include:
    • ‘All Night Cooling,’ which keeps sleepers cool and can help ease temperature changes and hot flashes, and
    • ‘Deep Sleep Cooling,’ designed to help reduce sleep disruptions in the middle of the night.
    • Sleepers can also personalize a custom program based on their individual needs and preferences, whether they want help falling asleep, staying asleep or waking up.

Additionally, for existing and new sleepers who own a Sleep Number Climate360 smart bed or the foot warming feature, the new SmartTemp Programs include a ‘Warming and Deep Sleep Cooling’ program, which helps sleepers fall asleep faster and stay asleep, minimizing sleep disruptions, as well as a ‘Foot Warming’ program, scientifically proven to help sleepers fall asleep faster and can help with relaxation. The programs will be available via an over-the-air update, delivering continuing value and dynamic sleep health benefits to sleepers.

  • A Smart Adjustable Base with the Smart Bed: The ClimateCool smart bed includes either a FlexFit 2 smart adjustable base for endless head and foot positions or a supportive integrated base, which provides a firm, level surface. The smart bed and base work together as a system to deliver an effortless cooling experience and come at package prices.
  • Individualized Comfort: perfect for couples, the new smart bed adjusts to each sleeper’s individual shape, position and temperature preference, so both partners are comfortable and supported night after night.
  • Effortless Adjustability: only Sleep Number® smart beds let sleepers adjust their side of the bed to their ideal firmness – their Sleep Number® setting. The smart bed then senses and automatically adjusts to help keep both partners asleep.
  • Personal sleep health insights for better sleep: Combining AI and sleep science, Sleep Number smart beds track each sleeper’s biosignals to understand their sleep health needs. It’s the only smart bed that provides personalized insights backed by science to help improve your sleep.

“Temperature is undoubtedly one of the biggest sleep challenges facing couples, and Sleep Number is uniquely positioned to address temperature struggles during sleep as evidenced by our innovation, research and partnership roadmap,” said Annie Bloomquist, Chief Innovation Officer, Sleep Number. “Our new ClimateCool smart bed actively draws excess heat away to provide the most effective cooling available. And, the smart bed’s cooling features - supported by a scientific partnership with Northwestern University - its competitive price point and the inclusion of a smart adjustable base, make our latest innovation the superior choice for couples who need temperature relief.”

Recently, Sleep Number presented findings on the association between sleep quality and severity of menopausal symptoms at the Menopause Society’s 2024 Annual Meeting in Chicago. The research leveraged objective sleep data from Sleep Number smart beds and self-reported menopause symptom data from the brand’s Smart Sleepers. The objective data revealed that sleep quality is significantly lower for women reporting severe symptoms of menopause. Sleep Number’s platform can also detect the improvement in restful sleep and HRV associated with symptom-alleviation treatment.

Sleep Number will also present results from its research collaboration with Northwestern University at Neuroscience 2024, hosted by the Society for Neuroscience, October 5 – 9 in Chicago. Sleep Number will present the results alongside Northwestern University researchers, including Dr. Phyllis Zee. Learn more and download the poster presentations at sleepnumber.com/science.

The new Sleep Number ClimateCool smart bed is available now at sleepnumber.com and at Sleep Number® stores, beginning at $5,499 (Queen size, with integrated base) and $6,999 (Queen size, with FlexFit 2 adjustable base).

The ClimateCool smart bed joins Sleep Number’s complete portfolio of products starting at under $1,000 dedicated to tackling the toughest temperature challenges that sleepers face – from the cooling comfort layer properties found in all the brand’s smart beds, which start at $999, to bedding and pillows, to the DualTemp® Layer, starting at $999, to the popular Climate360 smart bed.
