Having a lumpy mattress and a snoring partner could soon be a thing of the past thanks to a 'smart' adjustable bed that monitors how well you sleep.
Sensors fitted inside the mattress of the Sleep Number x12 bed measure breathing, heart rate and movement to analyse you and your partner's sleeping patterns.
Firmness and elevation can be adjusted by remote control, or via voice commands, and the mattress can also massage sleepers.
Any data collected by the sensors is sent wirelessly to a smartphone app and sleepers are given a SleepIQ score.
The app then gives tailored advice and tips on how to sleep better, along with which firmness and elevation levels will work best - each with colour coded graphs that track progress.
Settings are adjusted by remote control, or via voice commands. For example, saying ‘Sleep Number Firmer’ will make the mattress firmer.
The mattress also has different massage settings, and there is a soft light under the bed that can be switched on and off by this remote.
Other settings include a Favorites button, that lets users set popular bed positions including Read and Watch TV, and users can also change the position of the bed on their partner’s side to stop them from snoring.
HOW DOES THE SLEEP NUMBER X12 SMART MATTRESS WORK?
This data is sent wirelessly to a smartphone app and sleepers are given a SleepIQ score.

Other settings including a Favorites button that lets users set popular bed positions, which can also be pre-programmed, including Read and Watch TV.
Users can even change the position of the bed on their partner’s side to stop them from snoring, for example.
The bed is due to go on sale in the U.S. later this year, although the exact date has not been announced.
A standard mattress costs $7,999 (£4,870) and for $15,399 (£9,380) customers also get an upholstered bed, side panel and nightstand.
The company unveiled the bed at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show.
As well as its own smart features, the mattress comes with Bluetooth technology meaning it can also connect to other smart devices, such as TVs, lights and more. Once connected, these gadgets can also be controlled by the remote.
