Stareep's AI Mattress Aims to Actively Reshape Sleep at CES 2026

SHENZHEN, China – December 29, 2025 – As the tech world prepares to converge on Las Vegas for CES 2026, a Shenzhen-based company named Stareep is poised to make its global debut with a bold claim: it has created the world's first AI-powered SmartSleep ecosystem that actively improves sleep, rather than just passively monitoring it. The announcement signals a potential shift in the multi-billion-dollar sleep technology market, moving the concept of a smart bed from a data-gathering device to an active participant in personal wellness.

From January 6-9, Stareep will unveil its high-end system at the Venetian Expo, promising live demonstrations of a mattress that dynamically adjusts to a user's body in real time. The company's ambition extends beyond a single product, aiming to establish an integrated ecosystem that redefines the relationship between technology, rest, and the smart home.

Beyond Tracking: The Promise of Real-Time Adjustment

The core of Stareep's innovation lies in what it calls a "dual-layer AI architecture." Unlike many existing smart beds that track sleep stages and offer manual or pre-set adjustments, this system is designed for constant, autonomous adaptation. According to the company, both the mattress and its smart base independently learn a user's habits and physiological signals—such as pressure, movement, and even breathing patterns—to make continuous micro-adjustments throughout the night.

This active intervention represents a significant leap forward. The ecosystem's advertised capabilities include several first-to-market features. AI-Driven, Real-Time Sleep Adjustment allows the bed to change its firmness and support profile as a person shifts positions, aiming to maintain optimal spinal alignment and comfort dynamically. Multi-Sensory Sleep Assistance hints at a holistic approach, potentially integrating sound, temperature, or other environmental factors to guide users into deeper sleep.

Live demonstrations planned for CES are expected to showcase this technology in action, with real-time pressure mapping visualizations, breathing-responsive support changes, and intelligent wake-up features designed to rouse the user during their lightest sleep phase. This move from passive data collection—a hallmark of fitness trackers and early-generation smart beds—to active, real-time intervention could set a new standard for what consumers expect from high-end sleep solutions.

A New Contender in a High-Stakes Market

While Stareep’s claims are ambitious, it enters a competitive and rapidly innovating field. The global smart mattress market, valued at approximately $1.8 billion in 2024, is projected to grow to $2.5 billion by 2030. Several established players have already staked claims in the “active adjustment” space.

Companies like Eight Sleep have pioneered real-time temperature regulation with their Pod mattress, which uses AI to adjust heating and cooling based on sleep stages and biometrics. Similarly, ReST Bed and Sleep Number offer systems that automatically adjust firmness based on pressure readings, with Sleep Number’s “Responsive Air” technology making periodic changes to maintain a user's preferred setting. Other brands, including King Koil and Diamond Mattress, have also introduced beds with dynamic response features.

Stareep’s “world’s first” claim appears to hinge on the depth and integration of its ecosystem. By combining a dual-layer AI in the mattress and base with a suite of connected products—including smart pillows, mattress pads, and wearables—the company is proposing a more comprehensive, data-rich environment for sleep optimization. The key differentiator may lie not in a single feature, but in the seamless synergy of an entire bedroom suite working in concert to actively manage a user's sleep cycle from start to finish.

The company has already garnered some industry attention, receiving a nomination for the BIG Innovation Awards 2026. While a nomination is not a guarantee of success, it provides a degree of pre-launch credibility and suggests that industry observers see potential in Stareep’s approach.

More Than a Mattress: Stareep's Smart Home Ambition

Stareep's vision extends far beyond the bedroom. The company positions itself as a “definer of intelligent sleep and an innovative leader in smart living,” indicating a strategy to become a central pillar in the broader smart home ecosystem. The SmartSleep system is not just a bed; it's envisioned as the foundational element of a connected, health-focused home.

The concept of “full-home data integration” suggests a future where a user’s sleep data could trigger actions in other connected devices. For example, as the mattress detects a user entering deep sleep, it could signal the home’s network to dim the lights, lower the thermostat, and silence notifications. As the intelligent wake-up feature prepares to gently rouse the user, it might trigger the coffee maker to start brewing and the blinds to slowly open.

This level of integration is the next frontier for the Internet of Things (IoT), where devices move from isolated functions to a collaborative network that anticipates and serves user needs. By focusing on sleep—a universal and fundamental aspect of human health—Stareep is tapping into a powerful driver for smart home adoption. Success will depend on its ability to create an open and compatible system that can communicate effectively with products from other manufacturers.

The Price of Perfect Sleep: Health, Data, and Cost

Ultimately, Stareep is selling a promise of enhanced health and wellness. By optimizing sleep quality through personalized, active support, the system could offer tangible benefits, from reducing chronic back pain to improving daytime cognitive function. For a society increasingly plagued by poor sleep, this is a powerful value proposition.

However, this promise comes with significant unanswered questions. The collection of sensitive physiological data on such a granular level raises immediate concerns about data privacy and security. Consumers will want to know exactly what data is being collected, where it is stored, how it is secured, and who has access to it. Stareep will need to be transparent about its adherence to international data protection standards like GDPR to gain consumer trust, particularly as it enters Western markets.

Furthermore, innovation at this level comes at a cost. Positioned as a “high-end” ecosystem, Stareep’s products will likely command a premium price. Competing high-end smart beds from established brands can easily exceed $5,000, with top-tier systems approaching $10,000. This will place the SmartSleep ecosystem firmly in the luxury market, targeting tech-savvy, health-conscious consumers with significant disposable income. The company’s ability to justify this price point will depend entirely on the performance and reliability demonstrated at its CES debut and in subsequent reviews. All eyes will be on Las Vegas to see if Stareep’s vision of the future of sleep is a dream that can become a reality.
