I think think of few funny ideas using their open API and data. Late night achievement unlocked!
Please, god, no. I'm tired of this gamification craze, and the last thing I want gamified is my damn sleep. The only achievement should be getting a good night's rest, and if we need fake internet points to entice us to get it, then I feel sorry for our culture.
I see you've already answered that the mattress cover itself cannot vibrate, and that the alarm will actually be through the app.
Rather than increasing the volume of the alarm gradually, I'd much prefer being woken up like geoelectric by my phone vibrating or perhaps triggering another wifi enabled alarm that vibrates.
1) Will your app make the phone vibrate as your alarm goes off (perhaps with increasing intensity as you get closer to your waking time)?
2) Does anyone know of a wifi enabled vibrating alarm that could be put under a pillow?

I've noticed my sleep quality is strongly correlated with my room temperature, but being in a moderate climate I find that I need my bed and room colder to sleep better. Looks like this only provides heating.

> ...scientists were able to lower skin temperature less than a degree Centrigrade without affecting core body temperature. The changes were dramatic. People didn't wake up as much during the night and the percentage of the sleep spent in stages 3 and 4 (deep sleep) increased. ... A 0.4 C decrease in skin temperature caused a decline in the probability of early morning waking from 0.58 to 0.04.
My first instinct (being the geek that I am) upon seeing this was it looks great. And having lived in England the majority of my life, with cold houses and heating turned off at night - heated underblankets are a necessity. But as I read through the feature list, I couldn't help feel uncomfortable. Am I the only one that finds this deluge of technology into every aspect of our lives abhorrent? Every single day billio…
I used to be into tech and gadgets and all that neat stuff until I realized I spend more time setting up, customizing, and configuring it than time saved because of it. I've since just defaulted to books for entertainment, my ipod, and just my single laptop. I really don't own much else. It's kinda nice. Most of the holes we plug with technology can be solved with growing a thicker skin. Toes cold? Tuck them in. Stil…

Agreed. Would definitely need the "cooling" version.
It integrates with nest to control the thermostat. Beyond that ... get a lighter weight blanket?
The cover itself is made entirely out of synthetic materials which has implications for quality of sleep. I love the idea but the cover portion needs to be natural fibers IMHO.
What implications does synthetic materials have on sleep quality? Are you referencing some study or is this just anecdotal arguing from nature?
