    Wtf. How did they not at the very least build in a reasonable safe state whenever the thing gets disconnected. Something like “keep current position, disable heating” or return to flat position.

    But the more pressing question is: why does a bed have an internet connection? Who does this help? And why does it NEED an internet connection? Surely a few Back-up buttons for when the service eventually goes down isn’t too much to ask? Who would buy such a thing?!

    I, like most lemmings, object to the idea of having my bed be cloud connected … But putting that aside, couldn’t the bed just be unplugged? I don’t know if that would solve the angle problem, but surely the bed needs power to generate heat.

      Someone who bought such a thing is 100% stupid. Don’t try to argue with or suggest logic.

      Definitely. This is just clickbait hyperbole.

      They weren’t bricked, they were unresponsive for most of the day), and they could be unplugged if needed. An internet-connected bed is stupid, but this clickbait is even more so.

        but this clickbait is even more so.

        A device randomly overheating is a great thing. Totally not a fire hazard.

        Calling such unsafe and stupid things as what they are (stupid) is clearly and idiotic thing to do.
