New high tech bed stops snoring

Post by Lambeau » Wed Jan 08, 2014 9:46 am

There is an article in today's edition of the Minneapolis StarTribune about a new Sleep Number bed that stops snoring, measures heart rate, and all sorts of other metabolic activities by the bed itself, with the sleeping person not wearing any wires, hoses, etc. Probably a limited market, as the price for this Sleep Number Bed is stated to be $7,999.00 CPAP forum will not let me post a direct link to the article, but you should be able to Google it from the business section of the StarTribune.

Business section press releases are only a whisker away from an advertisement.
The newspaper is offering a freebie in hopes of future ad revenue, or thanks for past ads.
The media around here does it all the time.

That certainly might be true, but I have also seen articles in the business sections of newspapers that are negative to a product or company.
