Like many of this year’s best mattresses for all sleepers, AI mattresses and smart beds come with many plush features and benefits to help improve your sleep quality. In the ever-evolving world of AI, the difference between smart beds and AI mattresses can seem like a bit of a grey area.

Smart beds are designed to track your sleep and various aspects of your health. Some smart beds — like the Eight Sleep Pod 4 Ultra — are bases or covers designed to work with your existing mattress. Others are mattresses with integrated smart functionality — like the Saatva Solaire and Sleep Number i8 Smart Bed.
Working to improve your sleep quality and quantity, they track your heart rate, breathing, body temperature, movement and sleep cycles . They can also calculate your bedtime, wake-up time and sleeping position and provide personalized sleep reports.

You can adjust the firmness and feel of your mattress via its control panel or app.
Furthermore, most advanced smart beds, and all AI mattresses, automatically adjust your position throughout the night depending on movement and breathing. For example, they will detect your lumbar spine’s curvature and adjust to give you the best lumbar support and alter your head position for easier breathing if snoring is detected.
Some can be programmed to the exact temperature that helps you fall asleep faster and deeper, and Eight Sleep is one of the best brands for this — especially if you want a smart bed with independent heating and cooling. What is an AI mattress?
