sleep-trackers
Withings Sleep Analyzer
This is the best 'invisible' tracker that requires no wearable device. It uses ballistocardiography via a pneumatic sensor to detect heart rate, respiration, and movement with medical-grade precision.
Quality & Materials
High-quality textile cover housing a sensitive pressure sensor and sound sensor (for snoring). Placed permanently under the mattress.
Evidence & Testing
Clinical studies have shown high sensitivity in detecting Sleep Apnea Syndrome. Validated against PSG for heart rate and sleep cycles.
Brand Transparency
Clear labeling regarding medical-grade status in the EU (CE marked for medical use), though US marketing is slightly more restricted due to FDA classifications.
Value Assessment
At roughly $130 with no monthly subscription fee, this offers the best long-term value in the category.
Why Not Alternatives?
Beats wearables for users who find rings or watches uncomfortable at night. It is one of the few consumer devices with clinical validation for detecting sleep apnea, a major longevity risk factor.
