Climate360 is the first-ever bed that uses advanced temperature technology to create a personalized and responsive microclimate that has automatic firmness adjustability. It is designed with a reliance on science to help you fall asleep faster and keep you asleep by working with your natural sleep cycles for deeper, more restful sleep.
Its core cooling setting works by actively pulling heat out of the bed through an evaporative cooling process and keeps you sleeping comfortably, not too hot or too cold. The core warming setting pushes warm air through the bed up to the sleep surface to warm your body and keep you sleeping comfortably. Both are individual to each side of the bed and has three levels of warming: Low, Medium and High. Its foot warming feature turns on before your bedtime and then gently warms the feet as you get into the bed to help you fall asleep faster.
Climate360 offers individualized temperature with manual timers and scheduled routines. The smart routines allow for effortless, scheduled temperature settings via time-based routines based on bedtime and wake time, and when to start.
Climate360’s conforming sleep surface features state of the art comfort. The high loft breathable sleep surface includes our most plush and supportive layer, and helps you stay cool, dry and comfortable for uninterrupted rest. The sleep surface stretches and conforms to the contours of your body and gently supports you while absorbing 200% more motion energy. It also features Smart 3D fabric, which is up to 50% more breathable for a cooler sleep surface.
The smart bed is integrated with our FlexFit 3 smart adjustable base, offering both head and foot adjustability designed to sooth tired muscles [REDACTED FOR PUBLICATION]. Sleepers can also gently elevate their partner’s head to alleviate snoring, find their way at night with under bed lighting and enjoy the weightlessness of zero gravity.
Climate360 also includes all the features and benefits of our 360 smart bed, including Monthly Sleep Wellness Reports that provide an overview of personalized insights, highlighting sleep health, circadian stability, and respiratory and cardiovascular health via HRV.

Temperature issues, especially fluctuations, have a physiological impact on sleep quality. In our research, we found that sleeping too hot or cold remains an issue that most people have difficulty solving. We also learned that temperature sufferers struggle with regulating their temperature and that current solutions often impact their partner, leading to emotional distress and poor sleep quality [REDACTED FOR PUBLICATION].
[REDACTED FOR PUBLICATION]
Sleepers need a solution that regulates their temperature, is individualized and adjustable to each partner’s personal microclimate, and delivers quality sleep.

Our technology is being used to capture data on natural sleep for research on disease prediction, diagnosis and treatment in a noninvasive, ecologically valid manner, including:
- Mayo Clinic Collaboration: Our collective goal is to further sleep science and improve health care quality and clinical outcomes. We established foundational data sharing capabilities, which are being utilized by Mayo Clinic. The scalable data sharing infrastructure will allow us to expand data sharing to other research communities this year.
- American Cancer Society: In 2022, we formed a partnership with the American Cancer Society to study the connection between cancer and quality sleep, with the goal of developing the first-ever sleep strategies and guidance for cancer patients and survivors. Over six years, ACS will conduct research with contributions from Sleep Number’s proprietary sleep data, leading to improved sleep outcomes for cancer patients and survivors.
