This makes so much sense. I want one, but $1299 is far more expensive than a Casper mattress.
P.S. If you're into cuddling, download this.

@rrhoover Kool concept! I know a few people who would get a giggle out of this (inclusing myself, just for the kool factor). However, What about Sheets (as @dubrie noted) cuz those special stretchy sheets would cost much more than regular ones, I'm sure (+ limited variety and choices) and I also like to not sleep like a Log all night ... I like twists and turns + price point is a deal breaker. and a Big NO NO to Spoonr!! LoL

@rrhoover XKCD's design is still better! https://xkcd.com/335/

@rrhoover Price is too prohibitive. Other than that I would totally rock one of these!
I'm so confused by this. I think of sleep as being one of the most important things. Health, productivity... on & on.
I can't imagine ever buying a mattress and wanting the ability to cuddle better as a feature.
Also, what happens when you lose your iphone in your cuddle mattress?
@mscccc Perhaps not cuddling with the iPhone would be a wise choice :)
Seriously, though, I don't understand how this would be a concern. It's not like 3 inch wide open gaps that just anything could easily slip through.
@jesse_wallace I was mostly joking about the iPhone :)
The price doesn't bother me. Investing in good sleep is smart. If this mattress somehow beats out other normal mattresses & leaves people more rested. Then OK, makes sense. But buying a mattress just to cuddle better... I can't wrap my mind around it. Maybe for some people, being able to cuddle for 8 hours helps them sleep really well?
First off, this shouldn't be compared to Casper, or Leesa, or Tuft n Needle. This serves a particular purpose where those are general purpose mattresses.
Second, given the fact that you spend 1/3 of your life on a mattress, it should be one of the few, honest items you invest good money into - for health, comfort and overall well-being. I don't understand how someone can say at $1300 that this would be price-prohibitive. How people that look at products on this site and would line up for $500 voice-activated speakers and +$100 "smart water bottles" would think that >$1500 for a mattress just seems ridiculous.
And lastly - losing your phones in it? Is this really something your concerned about? Disregarding the actual build of the mattress and the incredibly small likelihood of your phone somehow slipping into those slits and sliding it's way to the botttom...it's just absurd that this is the concern that would be coming out as a potentially negative to buying the mattress.
I think this is a really cool product and had I not just got a mattress from Nest Bedding, I would have liked to check this out. Congrats to the makers!
As a product person (as many of us are) and also married for 10 years, I have to say, realistically I would want a mattress that goes the other direction.
Something where after having intimate relations, it actually produces some sort of physical barricade so you can have some separation.
In a real world scenario, comfortable or not, cuddling with an arm under your partner lasts all of about 10 minutes before you need/want to move.
I've repeatedly told my wife, that I don't understand why bunk beds are not socially accepted among married couples. It saves space, people sleep comfortably, and you can still do your bid'ness. Perhaps in even more creative ways.
@wuss Also a married guy here, and yeah, cuddling is amazing but it does not contribute to a good nights sleep unless both parties somehow never move the entire night. I laughed out loud at the bunk bed comment.

if my current gf got to design a mattress, she'd put up a brick wall between us lol.. she hates cuddles but is happy to take over 3/4 of the bed and she's half my size :( seriously, who sleep spread-eagled ?? and has to have her feet out of the doona... sighs..

It a cool concept, really innovative. But I am not sure what did you guys think it would cost? Average of price mattresses does range usually from as low of $250 to $5000 or more. Generally people will spend right around a $1000.
