Germany-based mattress brand Emma has introduced Motion, its very first connected mattress. This new model is unique in that it is able to detect poor posture during sleep and improve it by adjusting the compression quality of the foam. It is hitting the market first in France and the Netherlands in the coming days before rolling out to other territories.
A mat sensor in the mattress tracks and analyses your different positions throughout the night and then “intelligently” adapts to each of them. To do this, it works with the foam directly, compressing expandable sections further or, conversely, decompressing them as needed. In this way, the mattress corrects the posture of the person lying on it by itself. The idea is to relieve the spine as much as possible in order to avoid back pain when the person gets up.
