"A startup called Orion is ready to take on America's sleep loss epidemic with a new, AI-enabled mattress cover that can adjust its temperature throughout the night to maximize comfort and rest. Cofounder and CEO Harry Gestetner previously cofounded the startup Fanfix, which helped Gen Z content creators build paid subscription programs. After the company sold to SuperOrdinary for a reported $65 million, Gestetner says he became interested in sleep and its well-documented links to health and longevity."
"Gestetner found that most sleep and fitness trackers could detect bad sleep patterns, but they couldn't directly do anything to help users get a better night's rest. "All they do is just give you a bunch of data that tells you slept badly," he says. And while sleep temperature has been shown to have a significant impact on sleep quality, existing sleep temperature control devices from companies like Eight Sleep were too expensive for many people Gestetner spoke to."
Orion builds an AI-enabled mattress cover that dynamically adjusts temperature throughout the night to improve comfort and sleep quality. Harry Gestetner founded Orion after selling Fanfix and partnered with his father Daniel Gestetner; the company raised $10.3 million in venture funding and collaborated with sleep expert Michael Breus. The queen-sized system costs $2,300 up front plus a $17 monthly subscription for access to the AI, which makes dozens of adjustments per night using sensor readings and user preferences. Buyers can choose firmer or softer covers and additional options are planned.
