MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The numbers are in: Sleep Number customers who adjust the firmness of their bed — their Sleep Number® setting — are 58 percent more likely to have improved sleep quality. That is just one finding from new research that shows Sleep Number® products significantly improve people’s sleep quality — as measured by restful time in bed using SleepIQ® technology, which lets consumers track and optimize their sleep.
The biggest predictors of improved sleep quality are adjusting your Sleep Number setting and having a FlexFit™ adjustable base; those who have individualized their sleep experience by changing their Sleep Number setting and have a FlexFit adjustable base are 61 percent more likely to sleep better. And one third of sleepers with SleepIQ technology who had improved sleep say that purchasing a new mattress is the reason they are sleeping better; 21 percent attribute their improved sleep to changing their sleep routine (going to bed earlier and having a consistent bedtime).
“This research again proves the value of individual sleep knowledge and the ability to make adjustments to your bed for your best quality sleep,” said Shelly Ibach, president and chief executive officer, Select Comfort. “Consumers are beginning to understand that your mattress matters when it comes to better sleep, and one of the easiest ways to improve your quality of sleep is to adjust the firmness of your bed.”
This new study shows that 96 percent of adults believe that better sleep leads to a healthy life. Sleep Number customers surveyed report that when they have a good night’s sleep they:
- Are in control of their day (64 percent).
- Take on their day
with gusto (60 percent).
- Feel more confident (55 percent).
-
Stick to an exercise plan (54 percent).
- Have a “glass half-full”
attitude (53 percent).
If sleep quality declines, primarily driven by schedule changes and gaining weight, more than two-thirds of sleepers report less daytime energy and one third said they feel older. This group also reported that when they have poor sleep they:
- Feel their reaction time is delayed (61 percent).
- Feel they
don’t look their best (56 percent).
- Feel in a fog or a daze (55
percent).
“Sleep deprivation in this country is real, and there is a clear connection between quality sleep and one’s health and wellbeing. By adopting new technologies, people can better understand the importance of sleep — and that sleep restores us, so we can be our best selves tomorrow,” said Ibach. “At Sleep Number, we are dedicated to developing sleep innovations that deliver meaningful benefits to individuals and families: proven better sleep for a healthier, happier, more productive life.”
