What causes the advanced functionality of a modern smart bed to cease entirely?
A power outage or a Wi-Fi failure
The high level of integration that defines modern smart mattresses connects them deeply to the broader Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem, relying heavily on external infrastructure. Unlike older mechanical mattresses, these advanced systems require continuous electrical power to run their sensors, algorithms, microchips, and air pumps. Consequently, if there is a disruption to the essential utilities, such as a complete power outage or a failure in the Wi-Fi connectivity required for cloud communication and operation, the sophisticated, data-driven functionality of the smart bed stops working. This leaves the consumer with what is essentially an expensive, static surface until connectivity and power are restored.
