• Bed and bedding manufacturers looking to differentiate their product lines.
• Brands that want to compete on intelligence and long-term services, not only on craftsmanship and materials.
• Partners interested in offering smart bedroom experiences on top of traditional beds.

Drop-in integration

From the public website, calmea describes its sensor as a drop-in module:

• Designed to integrate into the existing bed structure, for example in the bed foot.
• Aims to work with existing product lines rather than forcing a full redesign.
• Swiss-engineered hardware and software, intended to fit into current production processes.
• calmea supports partners through the integration process.

Benefits for manufacturers

Key value propositions highlighted for manufacturers include:

1. Premium differentiation

• Transform a conventional bed line into an intelligent product range.
• Differentiate in a market where beds can otherwise be commoditized.

2. New business model potential

• The companion app and service layer can help turn a one-time bed sale into an ongoing customer relationship.
• Enables continuous interaction with sleepers over multiple years.

3. Future-ready product positioning

• Aligns the brand with smart home and connected-living trends.
• Extends the value of the bed beyond comfort and aesthetics into data-driven sleep experiences.

Collaboration and partnership

calmea invites:

• Bed manufacturers seeking to add intelligence to their portfolio.
• Investors interested in the future of sleep technology.
• Potential team members and other partners who want to help build the future of sleep.

Interested partners are encouraged to contact calmea directly using the published contact details or website form.

Why avoid wearables in bed

According to calmea's own positioning, many wearable devices:

• Need to be charged regularly.
• Must be worn every night to collect data.
• Require setup, syncing and ongoing commitment from the user.
• Stop measuring the moment habits slip and the device is forgotten.

These factors can interrupt the very sleep they are trying to measure.

The calmea alternative

calmea's approach is to move the intelligence into the bed itself:

• Nothing to charge – the sensing module is part of the bed, not a personal device.
• Nothing to wear – no watches, rings, bands or devices on the body.
• No devices on or under the mattress surface – the module lives inside the bed structure.
• One-time setup – once installed and configured, the system runs automatically.
• Every night, by default – the bed measures every night without the sleeper needing to remember anything.

Privacy-related design choices

From the public website, calmea highlights several privacy-oriented characteristics of the system:

• No cameras – the sensing principle relies on the mechanical structure of the bed and does not use imagery.
• No body-worn devices – all sensing is contactless, through the bed frame.
• No visible technology – the module is hidden inside the bed so the bedroom looks like a normal bedroom.

Outcome for sleepers

With this design, sleepers can:

• Receive continuous insights about sleep quality, body signals and bedroom conditions.
• Benefit from a bedroom that can automatically adjust lighting, sound, climate and wake-up timing.
• Avoid changing their usual bedtime routine or managing extra devices.

The focus is on making advanced sleep technology something users can largely forget is there, while still receiving its benefits.

The system is designed for bed manufacturers and other partners who want to turn beds into intelligent, connected products without redesigning their entire product line.

Core capabilities

calmea's solution is built around one module with three main capabilities:

1. Personalized intelligence

• Continuous, fully contactless measurement of physiological signals during sleep.
• Tracks key signals such as heart rate, breathing rate, sleep stages and movements over the entire night.
• Creates a personalized understanding of the sleeper and their typical nights.

2. Environmental awareness

• Measures key bedroom conditions alongside the body's signals.
• Reads temperature, humidity, air quality and light in the room.
• Combines these data streams because restorative sleep depends on both the body and its environment.

3. Adaptive experiences

• Connects to existing smart home devices in the bedroom.
• Can adapt lighting, sounds, climate and wake-up timing to the individual sleeper.
• Turns the bedroom into an environment that responds quietly and automatically every night.

Embedded by design

• The module is designed to sit inside the bed structure, for example integrated into the bed foot.
• Nothing protrudes from the bed, and nothing lies on or under the mattress surface.
• The original appearance and feel of the bed remain unchanged.

Measurement approach

• calmea uses highly sensitive, patent-pending technology to read signals through the bed frame rather than on the body.
• Every heartbeat and every breath creates subtle mechanical movements in the body; the module senses these forces via the bed structure (a principle known as ballistocardiography).
• This makes the measurement fully contactless for the sleeper.

Data to understanding

• Advanced machine learning models interpret both physiological and environmental data.
• The system builds a complete and personalized picture of each night's sleep.
• These insights enable adaptive bedroom behaviors and long-term understanding of sleep patterns.

Designed for effortless use

For the end sleeper, calmea is intended to disappear into the background:

• No devices to wear.
• No daily charging routine.
• One-time setup for the bed, after which monitoring happens automatically every night.

This approach aims to provide comprehensive, high-quality sleep and environment data while keeping the bedroom looking and feeling like a bedroom.
