Kyungdong Navien Showcases AI-Based Sleep Technology at 'Fine Sleeping Expo'

Special Exhibition Area Showcasing
Sleep Mattresses, Condensing Boilers, and Dehumidifying Ventilation Air Purifiers

On March 13, Kyungdong Navien announced that it would showcase a variety of sleep technologies at the 'Fine Sleeping Expo,' jointly hosted by Hyundai Department Store and the sleep tech company Asleep to mark World Sleep Day. This event, featuring ten participating companies including Kyungdong Navien, will take place from March 13 to March 22 at the Topaz Hall on the 10th floor of Hyundai Department Store Pangyo Branch.

The specially designed exhibition booth for this event, spanning approximately 660 square meters, recreates the sleep process as a single experience course, covering the stages of 'falling asleep—deep sleep—waking up.' Visitors can naturally follow and experience each stage. In the 'Deep Sleep' zone, Kyungdong Navien has prepared a space where visitors can try out various products that impact sleep quality, including the all-season Air·Pro Sleep Mattress, the Carbon Sleep Mattress, the condensing boiler, and the dehumidifying ventilation air purifier. The 'AI Sleep Mode,' jointly developed with Asleep and integrated into the Navien Sleep Mattress, can be experienced firsthand at the venue. This AI Sleep Mode detects the user's breathing patterns to analyze sleep stages, and automatically adjusts the temperature for each stage to promote deeper, more restful sleep.

Kyungdong Navien confirmed through its own research that the sleep mattress is effective in enhancing sleep efficiency. During the rapid eye movement (REM) sleep stage, which is sensitive to temperature changes, the mattress lowers its temperature to prevent body heat from rising, thereby maintaining a comfortable sleep environment. In fact, when using the AI Sleep Mode, deep sleep time increased by 124%, REM sleep time by 30.8%, total sleep duration extended by 27 minutes, and overall sleep efficiency improved by 4.47 percentage points. When used together with a boiler during winter, significant energy savings were also observed. Compared to running the boiler alone at 23°C, lowering the boiler to 21°C and setting the sleep mattress water temperature to 35°C resulted in a 21% reduction in heating energy costs and a 7% improvement in sleep efficiency.

The ventilation air purifier was also found to contribute to creating a comfortable sleep environment in joint research with Asleep. When using the automatic mode, indoor carbon dioxide concentration dropped significantly from 2,476 ppm to 1,035 ppm, and REM sleep time increased by 41%, from 65.96 minutes without the air purifier to 92.69 minutes with it. Additionally, the time spent awake during sleep decreased by 18 minutes to 34.44 minutes, and sleep efficiency, based on actual sleep time, reached 90.96%, exceeding the normal standard of 85%.
