On December 8, 2024, HEKA officially opened its international sleep experience center in Auckland, New Zealand, marking a significant step in its global technology and retail expansion. As the inventor of AI mattress, HEKA now brings its cutting-edge sleep solutions directly to local consumers, allowing them to explore and experience the brand’s latest breakthrough: the sixth-generation HEKA AI mattress.
Founded in 2013 and headquartered in Silicon Valley, HEKA is a global AI life science company committed to redefining sleep through the integration of artificial intelligence, sleep medicine, and spinal health. Its high-end design center is located in Paris, while its research and development team features renowned experts from leading global institutions, including Stanford University’s Center for Sleep Science and Medicine and iFutureLab.
HEKA invented the AI mattress in 2013 and secured the core patents in 2014, making it the first brand to bring intelligent adaptability to sleep. Today, HEKA continues to lead the intelligent sleep revolution, with a presence in more than 630 international sleep experience centers and over 200,000 users worldwide—including royals, scientists, doctors, and corporate executives.
The new Auckland center represents more than just a retail opening. It serves as a hands-on environment where customers can directly try out HEKA’s latest sixth-generation model, which integrates powerful technological upgrades to deliver a truly tailored healthy sleep experience.
“The HEKA AI mattress is highly adaptive. By adjusting to the user's sleep position, it protects the neck, back, and waist, effectively improving sleep quality, reducing nerve stimulation, and enhancing deep sleep,” said Professor Jamie, Co-Founder of HEKA, Professor at Stanford University School of Medicine, and Co-Director of Stanford’s Center for Sleep and Circadian Sciences.
Sleep is far from still. Most people change positions dozens of times each night. Traditional mattresses with fixed materials and static structures cannot accommodate these changes. They either lack adequate support—leading to misalignment and pain—or apply excessive pressure to sensitive areas, disrupting natural sleep cycles. Standard pillows face similar challenges: a single height and shape cannot adapt to changing postures between back and side sleeping.
HEKA addresses these core problems through a dynamic, AI-powered support system. Its sixth-generation AI mattress integrates:
Over 2 million adaptive support combinations and Simultaneous Dual-Side Adjustment for fully personalized bilateral comfort.
The Cloud-Motion Algorithm with a built-in DeepSleep BioRhythm Engine, enables seamless, real-time responsiveness to posture and sleep cycle changes.
An OTA-enhanced autonomous feedback learning system, which evolves continuously based on long-term behavioral and sleep pattern data.
In addition, the new model integrates a strengthened SLF autonomous feedback learning system, allowing the mattress to intelligently adjust based on long-term behavioral data and sleep patterns. Whether accommodating different body types, weights, or sleeping styles, the HEKA AI mattress provides customized, independent support across both sides of the bed, without disturbing one’s partner.
The system includes a proprietary combination of:
AI recognition algorithms
The Stanford-iFutureLab Sleep Medicine Database
The HEKA TrackR AI Sleep Chip System
Elastic Smart Columns
The Ultra-Quiet Aerodynamic System
Together, these components enable the HEKA AI mattress to adapt in real time to different body types, weights, and sleep positions. It provides truly tailored support with Simultaneous Dual-Side Adjustment for personalized comfort throughout the night.
The opening of the Auckland sleep experience center invites local residents to explore this new era of AI-powered, personalized sleep health. Alongside expert consultation, customers can engage with the mattress’s 3ms real-time responsiveness and 10ms sleep customization, experience its integrated technologies, and understand how intelligent design supports long-term spinal alignment and pressure relief.
With every generation of its products, HEKA continues to raise the global standard for sleep health. By uniting AI technology, sleep medicine, and spinal care, HEKA delivers not only a mattress but a HEKA Healthy Sleep Solution that is tailored to the evolving needs of modern life.
