South Korean sleep technology start-up Anssil clinched an innovation award in the digital health category at this month’s CES in Las Vegas for its Smart String i4 digital healthcare mattress.

This marks the company’s third consecutive win, securing awards in various categories, not only digital health but also smart homes and home appliances from 2022 to 2024.

Anssil has developed a bed made of strings instead of springs. Using a string bed and applying AI and big data in sleeping pattern analytics, it has created an AIoT bed to provide an optimal sleeping environment.

The firm’s Sleepinbody-Incline smart mattress uses the 3D string technology as a departure from conventional spring or foam structures. Boasting a foundation of 14 million low-shrink polyester threads meticulously woven together, the mattress promises longevity without losing its shape.

Users can change the texture of the mattress depending on how hard or soft they want it. The ability to alter firmness levels at the touch of a button is said to set Anssil apart in the competitive mattress market.

The newly introduced model, Smart String i4, integrates IoT controllers with the Anssil Link app, pressure sensors and a smart scale installed on the user’s smartphone or smartwatch, enabling the collection and analysis of the user’s sleep condition through an AI-based IoT system.

Using pressure sensors and applications on the Sleepinbody platform, the smart mattress learns from the collected data, such as sleep information, hours, posture and sleep stages. The AI algorithm then generates personalised sleep data, which users can review daily through the Link app.

By synchronising with the user’s smart scale or wearable devices, the Smart String i4 provides an optimal sleep environment, offering various personalised services related to sleep routine, body changes, sleep tips and more.

Body pressure is distributied evenly to increase comfort. It adapts to the shape and contours of the body, providing a comfortable and supportive fit.

Rigorous performance and emissions testing are said to ensure quality and safety. The sealed, eco-friendly, double-sided waterproof PVC coating guarantees an airtight seal, resolving air leakage concerns.

There are ten adjustable cushion levels to cater to individual preferences. And 14 million woven strings maintain mattress structure, preventing wobbling or sinking, ensuring consistent body support.

Using pressure sensors, a smart scale and AI-powered IoT system, it collects and analyses user’s sleep conditions, generating personalised sleep data for daily review through the app. For more information, see www.anssil.com.
