Seems really cool but I felt my internal warning sign go off when I see the team is mostly comprised of marketers/managers/growth. Three engineers in an eight person team. It can still be a good product but I'll wait until it's on the market for some real reviews.
If any of the creators are reading this, is there any chance you're going to be making this in a hacker-friendly way? I've been contemplating making something sorta like this myself (although much less ambitious) and I'd really like to be able to integrate it into other smart things that I have going in my house. Also, just out of curiosity, what are you using for the WiFi connectivity? I've been playing with a bunch…
The product will have an open (and well documented) REST API from the day we ship. Our app and website will use the same exact API that 3rd party developers will use. Apps will have to levels of data access permission: sleep patterns only and raw data (they will have to ask access to the user).
We are taking a lot from OSS and we want to give back and contribute to the community, we will start soon opensourcing part of our stack.
As far as the hardware goes, we are doing our best to make it a pleasure to hack, it's in our interest:)

4 engineers actually:)
Some NY tech circles don't have a high opinion about this guy. He jumped from one project to another, burning bridges behind (just Google his name in re to MOWA and few others), and nowadays it seems he also likes to spam people.
A few of my colleagues received emails in regards to this wonderbra bedsheet, but none actually ever recalls signing up. That's a big red flag.

You are special! Also, if you poke around their website, they sell an SDK. An expensive, limited edition SDK, but still.

It's nice that you mention because we inspired both our API and architecture to Philips Hue: the REST api is served by both our cloud servers and by the device locally. The app connects to the unit via wi-fi when you are home, which means you can control the product even if the internet (or our service) is down. Opensourcing a lot of our stack is part of the plan, we take a lot from OSS and we want to give back. As f…
It's a really cool idea and great job on getting this far; I think I might order one. Does that mean both the device and your cloud have apis, or does it mean that an app which communicates only with the device can do the same things as your app which talks to both?
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…
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.

Agreed. Would definitely need the "cooling" version.
It integrates with nest to control the thermostat. Beyond that ... get a lighter weight blanket?
