I’m so mad that I love Orion's $2,195 AI mattress pad
Sleeping on the Orion is like flipping your pillow to find “the cool side,” except that your whole entire bed is the cool side.
TL;DR
- Orion is an AI-enabled mattress pad that controls bed temperature using a phone app.
- It adjusts temperature to minimize nighttime wake-ups and aid waking up.
- The AI learns from sleep data to optimize cooling, though its necessity and contribution to the price are questioned.
- Orion founder Harry Gestetner was inspired to create the product after experiencing health problems due to poor sleep while building his previous company.
- The product requires water to function and can be split into two zones for shared beds.
- Sleep data is transmitted over the cloud, posing a potential security risk.
- The reviewer found the pad effective for sleep but too expensive for personal purchase.
- Orion's current price is $2,195, with plans for a future $500 model.
