SLEEPING POD
While most YouTubers do a simple unboxing video of mattresses in exchange for a Casper sponsorship, the Hacksmith team had a better idea.
We decided to go all-out and take as much sleep-assist technology - and build the ultimate sleeping chamber - designed after a futuristic apocalypse style cryo-stasis
pod of course!​
Some features include...
• Mattress sensor for recording sleep patterns
• Casper memory foam mattress
• Climate control
• Built-in pillow speakers
• Automatic LED lighting
• Oxygen enrichment
• Sound-dampening foam insulation
• Slide-rail system for compact installation
• Weighted blanket
• Wireless control tablet
• External status light
