    You know this bed is great and all, but what it’s really missing is a mandatory connection to the Internet!

      “Carla! Carla! What the fuck is this? I know you sleep on a 25. A 25 or a 30 if you fuck up swiping. I know for a fucking fact that you would NEVER choose to sleep on a 60, and yet I found a goddamn record of a 60 when I was out last week. Who was it? Who was here?”

      I really can’t see any other reason. A dial isn’t sexy but it’s far easier in every way

    I’ve heard these beds are actually quite effective at helping you sleep and then wake up more naturally.

    But they have wrapped entirely local events (it’s all just timers, folks) behind a cloud-exclusive subscription and the product is useless on a sunny day like we had yesterday.

    They’re enormously expensive and the subscription serves no useful purpose other than to line the pockets of the investors.

    I have a strict rule of no cloud dependency in my house. Otherwise, I’d be interested - if the price was remotely reasonable.
