This official press release from The DeRUCCI Group announced that the company had won two CES 2024 Innovation Awards — in the Smart Home and Digital Health categories — for the AI series T11 Pro Smart Mattress, an Artificial Intelligence of Things (IoT) sleep solution built on extensive research conducted with international universities and medical institutions. The release positions the T11 Pro as the first smart mattress able to instantly adjust to a user's health for optimal sleep, and to actually warn the user of potential health issues before they'd otherwise be aware of them.
The award was granted for the mattress's design and ergonomics, which the release attributes to 23 sleep and health AI sensors tracking subtle changes in position, body temperature, heart rate, and overall health; 18 flexible air support units that instantly respond to the sleeper's position and movement; and the patented DeRUCCI AI Tidal Algorithm, which simultaneously adapts to each user's sleeping position for real-time adjustments matched to height, shape, and specific body areas such as the shoulders, back, waist, hips, and legs.
The release also details the mattress's broader smart home integration — connecting to a bedroom's thermostat, air conditioner, aromatherapy diffuser, air purifier, sleep-enhancing lighting, and other IoT devices — and confirms that the AI series T11 Pro was available immediately in China at the time, with US availability planned for Q3 2024 at a price of $8,250.
DeRUCCI is described in the release as a public company (SZSE: 001323) founded in 2004, dedicated to the development of intelligent sleep health systems grounded in scientific research and international collaboration. The company's history is summarised as having grown from custom bedding manufacturing over nearly two decades into a global operation of more than 5,700 stores across 17 countries and regions, including the US, Australia, Canada, Singapore, India, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, with collaborations with internationally recognised designers contributing to its product design language.
