Anyone cares to explain how the 'alarm' works? The website doesn't say much.

The alarm is part of the mobile app and it works in a similar way to the stock alarm clock app only informed by your current sleep phase. Here's the difference. Say you set your alarm for 7 am. The app starts looking at the sleep phase you are in from 6:30 am (this is configurable), if you enter a light sleep phase (N1) at 6:45, the alarm goes off and wake up without feeling groggy. If you don't enter a light sleep p…

Ok well that's not what I expected. It would be cool if the mattress inherently has the alarm, so maybe it can be in the form of temperature change - it gets colder to wake you up or subtle vibration. This more seamless experience than a jarring alarm on the phone.

Since I can't find it anywhere on the site or the IndieGogo page [1]: how much of this works now, and how much is just an idea? Is there a video of the "pre-manufacturing prototype" in action? Pictures? Anything? [1] https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/luna-turn-your-bed-into-a...

There are a few videos around showing demos we gave with pre-production prototypes ( http://techcrunch.com/2015/01/27/luna-smart-mattress-cover/ ) unfortunately, given the type of product, it's a little hard to show on video but if you are based in SF you could swing by our office for a private demo (bring your pajamas:)).

Thanks! That's reassuring to see. I would definitely put that up somewhere on one of your pages. A history of lies in Kickstarter/Indiegogo hardware projects have led people like me to be skeptical of these things.
