While many of this year's best mattresses are designed to help you enjoy deeper sleep by boosting your in-bed comfort, the Tempur-ActiveBreeze Smart Bed goes one step further. How? By enabling you to take almost total control of your rest. The adjustable base is fitted with fans for heating and cooling, plus an AI-powered sleep tracker that monitors the major aspects of your sleep and where it can be improved.

Tempur-Pedic rates the Tempur-ActiveBreeze as a medium feel hybrid, which means it should suit a wide rang of sleep positions depending on your body weight, who you share a bed with, and of course what feel you find most comfortable.

It's now the most expensive option in the Tempur-Pedic range, with the largest size costing $18,596. Yep, that's an eye-watering price tag, so we're disappointed to see that it only comes with a 10-year warranty and a 90-night trial. However you do get free white glove delivery with old bed removal. Let’s take a close look at this innovative smart bed and what you get for that jaw-dropping price...

Right now you'll get $300 of free bedding with the Tempur-ActiveBreeze, but if you'd rather money off, wait to see what offers arrive closer to the Memorial Day mattress sales. If you're happy with free bedding, you'll get pillows, a mattress protector and sheets with your Tempur-ActiveBreeze. A queen costs $9,998.

The Tempur-ActiveBreeze Smart Bed combines a cooling mattress, adjustable base, sleep monitor, sleep coach, and anti-snore device in one bed. We'll cover this in more detail below, but here are the basic specs of the mattress:

Let's tackle the design in two parts, starting with the ProSmart Air Base. An adjustable base, the ProSmart Air is fitted with multiple fans capable of circulating warm or cool air depending on your sleep needs (Tempur-Pedic claims the temperature range is 30 degrees F warmer or cooler). And each side of the bed can be adjusted individually, so neither person has to be too hot or too cold.

Alongside the fans, the base has an integrated Wind Down program (with soothing sounds and massage mode) and an Automatic Snore Response. It also boasts sleep coaching via the brand's Sleeptracker-AI, which provides personalized advice based on your sleep pattens and habits. Via the app you'll get daily insights into the quality of your sleep and how to improve it.

As for the mattress itself, it's a premium hybrid mattress made with a dual-chambered air-distribution layer. This allows the air from those fans to move around the bed evenly. All that, and you get the unique Tempur-Pedic feel and a comfortable sleep surface, courtesy of NASA-developed Tempur foam used throughout.
