Sleep Number Bed Pressure Map

Unlike traditional mattresses that are made from metal coils and springs, The Sleep Number Bed by Select Comfort™ uses uniquely designed air chambers to provide a gentle cushion of support which can be easily adjusted to your preference for comfort and firmness. In addition, the Sleep Number bed allows couples to individually adjust each side of the bed to the precise comfort level each partner prefers.
Sleep Number® beds are regularly subjected to in-house Xsensor® pressure point testing to demonstrate the effectiveness of air chamber design versus innerspring construction.
The Xsensor® Pressure Mapping System measures the interface pressure between a body and the surface on which it is lying, using a measuring sheet comprised of 684 individual measurement points.
A computer-generated pictorial representation reveals how the surface being tested conforms to the body, the location of interfacial pressure points between the surface and the body, and the relative degree of severity of such pressure points. When you adjust your bed to your Sleep Number, these pressure points are either eliminated or greatly reduced
