From helping¹ to relieve backache to regulating temperatures between the sheets and helping to prevent snoring, mattresses² have become seriously high-tech⁴ these days.

 

如今的床垫也纷纷采用了高科技，有的可以调节床单的温度来缓解背痛，有的能帮助缓解睡觉打呼症状。

 

Now they can even help detect if a partner is cheating.

 

Costing £1,200, the Spanish-designed 'smartress' allows mistrusting spouses⁵ who are away from home to check their smartphones to find out if the mattress³ is in use and how many people are on it.

 

The high-tech bed, which can be purchased with 'upmost confidentiality⁶' and comes with a five year warranty⁷, uses 24 ultrasonic⁸ sensors⁹ to detect 'suspicious activity', alerting the owner via a mobile app.

 

Its 'Lover Detection System' generates a 3D map to show which areas are receiving greater pressure and what movement is taking place, all in 'real time'.

 

Described by developers as 'foolproof', the electronic genius behind the system is said to be undetectable as it is integrated within the mattress's springs.
