No it's actually 2-3k+ usd. I had done some cursory considering of it over the past few months because it seems like a potentially reasonable solution to a real problem I struggle with.
But yeah part of it is like, it's really weird. If you asked me how much consistently better sleep would be worth, the answer is how much do you want?
But phrase that as "Bed as a service" and my reflex is "you're kidding, righr?"
- dyauspitr 2y agoWhat problem are you trying to solve if you don’t mind sharing. It sounds like you’re paying for sleep tracking but couldn’t you just do that with something else like an Apple Watch?
- snickell 2y agoThey run cooled/heated water through them, the idea being that temperature can trigger / lengthen certain phases of sleep. Think getting into a warm bed that gets colder as you go into deep sleep, and then when the night is done warms up again for wakeup. In my case, it seems to work really well, but I have the same resistance/frustration with the ongoing subscription.
- elzbardico 2y agoIt shouldn't be too complicated for a motivated hobbyist/hacker to retrofit it to run it with some custom DIY hardware eschewing the subscription need completely. After all, it is just a couple of pumps, a heat pump and/or a resistance and some sensors.
