Smart beds are becoming more popular as sleepers increasingly rely on them to help them fall asleep, and the benefits of sleeping in them are undeniable.
However, the technology has a number of limitations that can make them less than ideal for long-term sleepers.
1.
They’re too soft The comfort and weight of a smart bed isn’t always enough to satisfy long-time sleepers who want to sleep in them, but many people find them to be too soft.
A new study published in the journal Sleep revealed that most people found it easier to sleep comfortably with a soft bed.
It also found that those who were uncomfortable with soft beds reported feeling better when using them.
A soft bed may also be easier to keep cool and reduce overheating, which is why it’s becoming popular for home-sharing.
But this is still a bit of a gamble.
If you’re not comfortable with soft bedding, you’re going to be a bit more likely to try to sleep on a soft surface than a softer one.
2.
It’s not a proper mattress It can be a pain to put on, especially if you have a wide-open space to sleep.
But when you’re sleeping on a smart mattress, you can take advantage of this by choosing one that is suitable for your body and its position.
While the most popular mattress brands like Nautilus, Nomex and the Z-Series are good options, others can be more comfortable.
The best mattress for long distance sleepers will be the mattresses made by Matson, which has recently become a favorite of long-distance sleepers and also comes in a variety of different shapes.
3.
It can get warm You can feel the warmth of a bed on the outside, but if you’re using it for longer-term sleeping, it can get cold, which can affect your sleep quality.
Matson’s mattresses are also lightweight and comfortable to wear, but they don’t come with a removable liner, which could be helpful if you want to keep your bed warmer for longer.
4.
It isn’t as comfortable for sleepers with low back pain It can feel a bit awkward to put a pillow on your back, but the Matson SleepSmart 3, which also comes with a sleep pad, has a comfortable pad that can help keep your back warm.
5.
It doesn’t provide a lot of privacy You may think it’s a good idea to put your bed in a place that people can’t see your face, but this isn’t the case with most smart mattresses.
Mathyllas range of smart mattress options include mattresses that include a mirror and a curtain, which provide privacy and a sense of peace.
However they don,t have a built-in webcam, which means you’ll need to use a smartphone or other device to see what people are doing in your bed.
6.
It may not fit in the space you have If you want a smart bedroom that is comfortable for long periods of time, then you’ll want to buy a bed that fits in the available space you’re comfortable with.
This is especially true for short-term users who tend to be more vulnerable to overheating.
The beds we recommend for long term sleepers include the Mathyllan SleepSmart 7 and Mathylla SleepSmart 8.
But if you need a mattress that can be used for short periods of the night, you’ll be better off choosing a mattress made by Lululemon.
