Adiva, a Belgian company, recently launched an Indigogo campaign for the Adiva One bed that rocks occupants to sleep. Adiva demonstrated the technology at CES 2019 in Las Vegas. The company cites research that concludes that rocking facilitates sleep onset, improves sleep quality, and induces deep sleep. The Adiva One includes four modular support legs and control unit to synchronize the motion of the support legs. The Adiva One can be controlled using a remote control, a smartphone app, or Amazon Alexa. The Adiva One also includes an integrated sleep monitoring and control system. The device monitors and analyzes sleep cycles using motion detectors and adjusts the rocking motion to promote deep sleep.

Adiva’s first patent application published on September 26, 2019, and appears in the Environment – Haptics category of the Consumer Sleep Technology sector. Adiva is not the only company to display a bed that rocks occupants to sleep at CES 2019. Adiva faces competition from Rocking Bed, a US company, which sells foundations that replace a box spring and provide a rocking motion. Rocking Bed’s inventor, Mark Russell, has one published patent application that appears in the Devices – Vibration category of the Consumer Sleep Technology sector. It remains to be seen whether consumers are willing to spend money on devices that rock them to sleep.
