Withings Sleep price review: the sensor that improves your sleep

[content-egg module=Amazon template=custom/compact_extra groups=”Withnigs Sleep”]

Originally a Nokia branded product which came under the umbrella of the French brand Withings in May 2018. A range of high-performance and well-smart health connected smart health connected products at a reasonable price. Note, the last very nice innovation with the BPM Core that We presented to you a week ago.

But, let’s not fall asleep on this great French success. Here is the Withings Sleep a sensor or tracker of the quality of your nights. It analyzes your sleep cycles, achieves a quality score for your sleep and gives you tips for better sleep. A solution very economical compared to Bultex e-bed and especially extremely practical compared to other solutions such as Misfit’s Beddit.

Design and use of the Withnigs Sleep

The Sleep is a kind of carpet measuring 63 cm long by 18 cm wide, particularly thin (5 mm) so as not to feel it when lying down. It is however thicker on the outside edge of the bed, but this does not interfere.

The whole is very well done and exudes an excellent level of perceived quality. A beautiful product that however you will not see. A priori the only difference on the hardware side with the Nokia Sleep or the previous Withings Sleep Aura (which added a bedside lamp) is the name and the embroidered logo which has changed.

Quick and easy installation

Installation requires a smartphone or a tablet (on Android or iOS) with theHealth Mate app installed and the Bluetooth enabled.

Once the Health Math application has been downloaded and your account created, then activated, place the Sleep directly on your box spring, under your mattress. For effective measurement, the tape should be positioned at your bust / chest when you are lying down the position you take to sleep. A clarification, on my classic slatted base (an Ikea base that We have reinforced), the installation also works perfectly.

It must then be plugged into an AC outlet with the 2.8 m cord (covered with gray braided fabrics) and adapter supplied.

Open the app and add the Withings Sleep, then follow the clear instructions on your mobile or tablet screen.

Your Withings Sleep is installed and well, sleep now. The data collected will be automatically transmitted to your smartphone by your Wi-Fi network.

Here the only criticism We can make, and which is also its greatest asset, is that you will forget that your bed is smart health connected. If you move around often you will not have your sleep tracker with you (it stayed in your bed). In this case, an activity tracking bracelet will be preferred (see watches and bracelets smart health connected with sleep analysis).

Withings Sleep (or Nokia Sleep) features

  • A global score to know immediately whether this difficult wake up on Monday morning is linked to a bad night or not.

  • Sleep duration, sleep and wake-up time

  • Sleep cycles : light, deep, REM (or REM sleep)

  • Heartbeat continuous and medium

  • Snoring

  • Detection of respiratory disturbance (alert in case of sign ofSleep Apnea). Sleep apnea is a chronic, difficult to perceive breathing disorder during sleep. In France, 50% of people affected do not know they are. Withings Sleep detects interruptions and then provides an assessment of the intensity of the respiratory disturbance, using an algorithm based on a sample of people whose respiratory rate ranges from “linear” to “very disturbed”.

  • Tips for better sleep with your sleep score each time you wake up. Discover your personal coach in the app for learn to have a restful sleep. Thus, your personalized analysis after several nights will indicate data such as:

    • “Your sleep and wake times have been consistent over the past few days ”.

    • “Your night was efficient, with 61% spent in recovery phase“.

  • Analysis of your night environment and interaction with your other health home automation devices (lighting, heating).

Health Mate and IFTTT application connectivity

  • 2.4 GHz b / g / n Wi-Fi

  • Bluetooth 4.0 required for installation

Consult your data and follow the advice of the free Withings Health Mate app

The Withnig application allows you to centralize the data of all the brand’s smart health connected health devices. Simple to use with its homemade graphics, it obviously benefits from all the information in impeccable French.

  • IOS compatibility (from iOS 10)

  • Android compatibility (5.0 and newer)

The app displays on your smartphone a detailed summary of your nights with the analysis of your sleep cycles (light, deep and REM), monitoring your heart rate, and the detection of snoring and respiratory disturbances.

Personally We like the design of the app, the navigation and especially the colorful graphics used clear and understandable by all.

However, like its competitors, the application could help us even more. After a short or hectic night, send us an alert with specific advice to recover at most. For example, what time is it advisable to go to bed and what is the minimum sleep time.

Script your nights with IFTTT

The Withings sleep sensor is also compatible with the IFTTT app. This allows you to freely create scenarios between your different smart health connected objects.

So you can start a night light (e.g. equipped with a Philips Hue bulb), when you get out of bed. And turn it off automatically when you go back to bed. Another possibility, lower the temperature thanks to a smart health connected thermostat when you sleep.

Price and availability

With a price below $100, the Withnigs Sleep offers excellent value for money.

Withings Sleep Reviews

cock-a-doodle Doo for this French sleep monitoring and analyzer. Compared to its competitors’ solutions, they offer excellent results and above all a real comfort of use. Definitely to try before investing in the concept of the Bultex smart health connected mattress.

For me, to date the best quality / price ratio in sensors and sleep monitoring devices.

Small faults: For a couple, you will need two to monitoring each of you separately. And for personal data freaks, your statements are transmitted to the Withings cloud, even if they are anonymized.

A product adapted to learn and understand how your sleep goes, without obviously being a miracle solution but which gives good ideas for better sleep. For me a practical object already having a scale smart health connected from health home, since all the data is found in the same application.
