New science-backed temperature programs
developed with Feinberg School of Medicine at Northwestern
University to improve sleep quality
Today, Sleep Number Corporation (Nasdaq: SNBR), the sleep
wellness technology leader, launched the new ClimateCool™ smart
bed: the only smart bed that actively cools and effortlessly
adjusts to both sleepers – ideal for couples with different sleep
needs and preferences. Sleep Number’s latest smart bed builds on
the active temperature technology of its award-winning Climate360®
smart bed, which cools and warms on both sides. In addition to
featuring adjustable firmness on each side, the new ClimateCool
delivers cooling relief for each sleeper by actively drawing warm
air away from their body to support their ideal climate. Plus, it
features scientifically backed cooling programs, developed in
partnership with research conducted at the Feinberg School of
Medicine at Northwestern University. The programs are designed to
provide deeper, more comfortable sleep. In fact, the ClimateCool
smart bed cools up to 15 degrees on each side of the bed for each
sleeper's ideal sleep temperature* and cools up to 20 times faster
than a leading competitor.** The new smart bed is available as part
of Sleep Number’s new Climate™ Series, a collection of smart beds
designed with active air technology and individualized temperature
control.

Sleep quality and temperature are closely connected, with 80
percent of couples reporting one or both partners sleep too hot or
too cold.*** Science also tells us temperature fluctuations are
common throughout life and with various conditions, which can
impact sleep. For instance, menopausal women struggle with being
too warm at night: by surveying Sleep Number’s Sleep Science Panel,
a total cohort of 494,000 Smart Sleepers who have opted to
participate in the brand’s ongoing sleep science research, Sleep
Number found that menopause negatively impacts sleep quality of
women ages 35–54 who experience moderate to severe symptoms. The
survey, which yielded responses from more than 10,550 Smart
Sleepers, also revealed that 90 percent of female respondents
experiencing menopause or perimenopause suffer from night
sweats.
“Our purpose is to improve the health and wellbeing of society
through higher quality sleep. With an aging U.S. population and
nearly 1.2B women in or nearing menopause globally by 2030±,
temperature is an issue greatly impacting society,” said Shelly
Ibach, Chair, President and CEO, Sleep Number. “Our new ClimateCool
smart bed and partnership with world-class researchers at
Northwestern University supports all sleepers in their need to
sleep comfortably in their optimal cooling environment. We are
committed to supporting women’s health through all stages, and the
ClimateCool smart bed is a meaningful innovation that will
positively impact society’s wellbeing.”
Sleep Number ClimateCool smart bed features include:
- Superior Cooling Technology: Sleep Number’s dynamic
airflow system draws excess heat away from the body, instantly
cooling and refreshing the sleeper's microclimate. Combined with
cooling ceramic gel layers and a breathable sleep surface, it
provides highly effective cooling for both sleepers. Sleep Number’s
cooling method is unique in the market. Competitor air-based
solutions push heat through the mattress to the sleeper, recycling
warm air onto the sleeper’s body, and competitor water-based
solutions do not feature active air flow, resulting in minimal
impact on the sleeper’s microclimate.
- Cooling Programs Backed by Science: Sleep Number’s new
SmartTemp™ Programs are scientifically supported cooling programs
developed in partnership with research conducted at the Feinberg
School of Medicine at Northwestern University to enhance sleep
comfort. Renowned sleep physician Dr. Phyllis Zee spearheaded the
research, which monitored the effects of temperature on sleep, and
led to the development of the SmartTemp Programs. Our smart
sleepers can choose from these cooling programs, which
automatically adjust throughout the night to match their sleep
schedule and individual needs – ideal for recovery, deep sleep,
menopause, illness recovery and relaxation. Available programs for
our Climate Series smart beds include:
- ‘All Night Cooling,’ which keeps sleepers cool and can help
ease temperature changes and hot flashes, and
- ‘Deep Sleep Cooling,’ designed to help reduce sleep disruptions
in the middle of the night.
- Sleepers can also personalize a custom program based on their
individual needs and preferences, whether they want help falling
asleep, staying asleep or waking up.
Additionally, for existing and new sleepers who own a Sleep
Number Climate360 smart bed or the foot warming feature, the new
SmartTemp Programs include a ‘Warming and Deep Sleep Cooling’
program, which helps sleepers fall asleep faster and stay asleep,
minimizing sleep disruptions, as well as a ‘Foot Warming’ program,
scientifically proven to help sleepers fall asleep faster and can
help with relaxation. The programs will be available via an
over-the-air update, delivering continuing value and dynamic sleep
health benefits to sleepers.
- A Smart Adjustable Base with the Smart Bed: The
ClimateCool smart bed includes either a FlexFit 2 smart adjustable
base for endless head and foot positions or a supportive integrated
base, which provides a firm, level surface. The smart bed and base
work together as a system to deliver an effortless cooling
experience and come at package prices.
- Individualized Comfort: perfect for couples, the new
smart bed adjusts to each sleeper’s individual shape, position and
temperature preference, so both partners are comfortable and
supported night after night.
- Effortless Adjustability: only Sleep Number® smart beds
let sleepers adjust their side of the bed to their ideal firmness –
their Sleep Number® setting. The smart bed then senses and
automatically adjusts to help keep both partners asleep.
- Personal sleep health insights for better sleep:
Combining AI and sleep science, Sleep Number smart beds track each
sleeper’s biosignals to understand their sleep health needs. It’s
the only smart bed that provides personalized insights backed by
science to help improve your sleep.
“Temperature is undoubtedly one of the biggest sleep challenges
facing couples, and Sleep Number is uniquely positioned to address
temperature struggles during sleep as evidenced by our innovation,
research and partnership roadmap,” said Annie Bloomquist, Chief
Innovation Officer, Sleep Number. “Our new ClimateCool smart bed
actively draws excess heat away to provide the most effective
cooling available. And, the smart bed’s cooling features -
supported by a scientific partnership with Northwestern University
- its competitive price point and the inclusion of a smart
adjustable base, make our latest innovation the superior choice for
couples who need temperature relief.”
Recently, Sleep Number presented findings on the association
between sleep quality and severity of menopausal symptoms at the
Menopause Society’s 2024 Annual Meeting in Chicago. The research
leveraged objective sleep data from Sleep Number smart beds and
self-reported menopause symptom data from the brand’s Smart
Sleepers. The objective data revealed that sleep quality is
significantly lower for women reporting severe symptoms of
menopause. Sleep Number’s platform can also detect the improvement
in restful sleep and HRV associated with symptom-alleviation
treatment.
Sleep Number will also present results from its research
collaboration with Northwestern University at Neuroscience 2024,
hosted by the Society for Neuroscience, October 5 – 9 in Chicago.
Sleep Number will present the results alongside Northwestern
University researchers, including Dr. Phyllis Zee. Learn more and

sleepnumber.com and at Sleep Number® stores, beginning at $5,499
