Luna mattress brings the smart home to your bed

An intelligent electric blanket that can give you a gentle wake-up call

Could a smart bed be a smart-home step too far? Maybe not.

The Luna Smart Mattress Cover looks like it might be just the thing to help you deal with those sleepless, cold nights.

It not only monitors your sleeping habits, including your sleep cycles, heart rate and breathing rate, but it will also act as a bit of an intelligent electric blanket too. You can tell it to warm up the bed when the temperature drops, and it adjusts that temperature as needed.

In the morning it will gently wake you at the optimum time in your sleep cycle – so no more clanging alarms. And it will also work with other connected devices in the home – your thermostat, lights and so on.
