Disclaimer: I own one.
TL;DR: What can you give me for ~$70/mo (amortized over 5 years including bed) that makes my sleep better without me having to do anything or put anything in my body?
Think of the alternatives I have: Sleeping pills. Sleep studies. Benzos. "Supplements." Weight loss. Working out. Sleeping hygiene routines. FWIW, I've done/do all of these. They work, and they are work.
Sleep is more important to my health than what I eat. Some of us are like this. You know us. We're your colleagues, friends. You've seen us, heard us mope around.
I checked it out because I saw Bryan Johnson talk about it. Found it to be stupid, the price, the app, the subscription, I get what everyone here is saying. You are right. But, there was a free-x-nights trial policy and curiosity got the better of me.
So far, it's been amazing (5-6 months in).
+ You can slap a faux button/area on the bed to change temp without the app.
+ This App, mentioned in the article, it works 100% of the time, and it's fast. I suspect it's over LAN when you're home, at least it's that fast. For comparison, $3.2 billion dollar Nest's app isn't reliable nor fast -- How many total days of your life have you already lost to a synchronous thermostat app that needs to auth/connect with Google before you're allowed to change the temperature of the room you're sitting in? :) Come on, tell me the truth!
Does that help clarify why this sells?
Note: The bed is now $3k, not $2k, plus sales tax. Amortized over 5 years $3k + $240 * 5 = $4200. Divide by 60 months.
Note: Lots of misunderstanding in the thread by people who haven't checked the product out. It's not even a bed, guys, it's a liquid-cooled cover that fit's on top of your existing mattress. If you want the motorized mattress that lifts you when you snore, that's another few thousand dollars.
