Stareep to Debut AI Sleep System That Actively Manages Sleep at CES 2026

LAS VEGAS, NV – December 29, 2025 – The landscape of sleep technology is poised for a significant disruption as Shenzhen-based company Stareep prepares for its global debut at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2026. The company is set to unveil what it calls the world's first AI-powered SmartSleep ecosystem—a high-end, fully integrated mattress and base system designed not just to monitor sleep, but to actively intervene and improve it throughout the night.

While the market has seen a proliferation of smart mattresses and sleep trackers, most have focused on passive data collection, providing users with a report card on their sleep quality upon waking. Stareep aims to shatter this paradigm by introducing a system that makes real-time, dynamic adjustments to a sleeper's posture, support, and comfort. This ambitious approach has already garnered industry attention, with Stareep recently being announced as a nominee for the prestigious BIG Innovation Awards 2026.

"Sleep technology has barely scratched the surface of what AI can do," said Allen Cai, Founder of Stareep, in a recent statement. "We didn't want to build another mattress that just reports data. We built a system that understands the body and actively responds to it, night after night. CES 2026 is our first step in bringing that vision to a global audience."

The Next Frontier: From Data to Real-Time Intervention

The current generation of smart beds has successfully introduced consumers to the concept of quantifiable sleep. These products use sensors to track metrics like heart rate, breathing, movement, and sleep stages, syncing the data to a smartphone app. While this information can be insightful, its practical application is often limited. A user might learn they were restless between 2 a.m. and 3 a.m., but the mattress itself does nothing to address the cause of that restlessness as it happens. This leaves the user with data but no direct solution.

Stareep is positioning its technology as the next evolutionary step, moving the industry from a passive, diagnostic model to an active, prescriptive one. The core promise is a bed that doesn't just tell you how you slept, but actively works to ensure you sleep better. By using artificial intelligence to interpret physiological signals in the moment, the system can preemptively and reactively adjust its physical properties to maintain optimal sleep conditions. This represents a fundamental shift from post-sleep analytics to during-sleep optimization, tackling issues like pressure point buildup, poor spinal alignment, or temperature fluctuations as they occur.

Inside the Dual-Layer AI Architecture

At the heart of Stareep's innovation is a proprietary dual-layer AI architecture, an industry-first design where both the mattress and its smart base operate as independent yet coordinated intelligent units. This separation of duties allows for a more nuanced and comprehensive response to the sleeper's needs.

The top layer of the mattress is engineered for micro-adjustments, focusing on immediate comfort and pressure relief. It continuously adapts to the body's contours as a person shifts positions, ensuring that areas like the shoulders and hips are properly cushioned. Think of it as a high-resolution surface that maps and responds to every subtle movement.

Beneath this, the lower layer of the system dynamically manages the macro-structure of support and firmness. This is where the AI makes larger-scale changes based on sleep stages, posture, and learned user preferences. For example, it might soften slightly to accommodate a side-sleeping position to maintain spinal alignment or increase firmness in response to biometric data indicating a need for more support. This dual system works in concert, with both layers learning from user habits over time to create a sleep profile that becomes more personalized and effective with each passing night.

A Fully Integrated SmartSleep Ecosystem

Stareep is emphasizing that it is not merely launching a mattress, but a complete "SmartSleep ecosystem." The platform is designed to manage the entire sleep cycle, from the moment a person gets into bed until they wake up. This is achieved through a suite of connected products and features.

One key feature is MatchFit 2.0, an AI-driven system that personalizes the initial setup. It analyzes a user's body data to recommend the ideal baseline mattress firmness and pillow height, removing the guesswork from finding a comfortable sleep setup.

The ecosystem also introduces Multi-Sensory Sleep Assistance, which integrates motion, sound, and other environmental cues. This suggests the smart base may offer gentle motion to soothe a restless sleeper or that the system could sync with smart home devices to adjust room temperature and lighting. Furthermore, the platform is designed for Wearable Integration, capable of connecting with advanced devices like EEG headbands and AI rings. This allows the system to pull in deeper physiological data, such as brainwave activity, for an even more sophisticated and responsive sleep-coaching experience.

The full product lineup on display at CES will include the core AI mattresses and smart bases, as well as intelligent pillows, smart mattress pads, and other connected devices, all working together to create a holistic and adaptive sleep environment.

From Shenzhen to the Global Stage

Based in Shenzhen, a global hub for technological innovation, Stareep has a vision that extends beyond the bedroom. The company aims to build a comprehensive smart home ecosystem, declaring itself a "definer of intelligent sleep and the innovative leader in smart living." The SmartSleep system is the cornerstone of this broader ambition, intended to serve as the data-rich foundation for a fully integrated smart home.

For those attending CES 2026 from January 6-9, Stareep will be offering live demonstrations at the Venetian Expo, in Halls A–D, Booth 52052. Attendees will have the opportunity to witness the technology in action, with showcases of real-time pressure mapping, breathing-responsive support, and intelligent wake-up features that promise a more gentle transition from sleep to wakefulness. This debut will serve as a critical test of whether the market is ready to embrace a new, more active era of sleep technology.
