Outlast Technologies, the
pioneer in phase-change
technology, recently announced
that its top-of-the-line
platinum level
temperature-regulating material
is exclusive to the newly
enhanced Sleep Number 9000 bed
model.
The
Sleep Number 9000 bed is perfect
for couples with different
temperature preferences since
the Outlast® technology allows
two sleepers to find
compatibility in the same bed.
According to a recent survey
conducted by
Select Comfort
Corporation, creators of the
Sleep Number bed, one in five
Americans reports having
disagreements with their
partners about the sleeping
temperature1. And approximately
37 percent of Americans have
trouble falling asleep because
they are too hot.
“The new Sleep Number 9000
incorporates a unique blend of
Outlast® technology that is
delivered at a Platinum level
and offers a greater capacity to
buffer temperature swings,”
explained Guy Eckert, Executive
Vice President of Business
Development at Outlast. “We are
excited that Select Comfort has
opted to expand and enhance its
current Outlast® offerings in
its bed models, which goes along
way to delivering even greater
value to its customers.”
HOW OUTLAST® TECHNOLOGY
WORKS
Outlast® temperature-regulating
technology is a high-performance
material originally developed
for NASA. It’s designed to
balance a sleeper's skin
temperature, allowing him or her
to remain comfortable during the
night. Unlike traditional fabric
and insulation that trap heat,
products with patented Outlast®
Thermocules™ actually absorb
your excess body heat when you
become too warm, and release it
back when you need it.
ABOUT THE NEW SLEEP
NUMBER® 9000 BED
The new Sleep Number 9000 bed
features
breathable European-inspired
boucle fabric that creates an
incomparably soft and luxurious
sleep surface. Boucle fabric
allows for excellent heat
transfer, and when combined with
platinum-level Outlast®
technology, can provide an
unparalleled experience for
people who sleep hot. The
mattress fabric also provides
effective vapor and moisture
transfer, wicking away heat -
more and sweat for added comfort
while sleeping. In addition,
the 13-inch duvet-style
pillowtop features Sleep
Number's exclusive Dual Foam
Layering System™, which allows
each sleeper to customize his or
her side of the mattress by
choosing which foam layer is
most comfortable for them.
"The layered technologies in the
newly enhanced Sleep Number 9000
bed provide the ultimate comfort
experience," said Greg Pesky,
Product Director for Consumer
Mattresses with Select Comfort.
"Our patented technology allows
you to adjust the firmess and
support of your side of the
mattress to a Sleep Number
between 0 and 100, while
Outlast® technology responds to
your body temperature."
