Startup Orion Launches $2,195 AI-Powered Mattress Pad, TechCrunch Review Finds
A tech reviewer says the smart cooling pad delivers whole-bed comfort, despite its high price tag.
Orion, a startup selling an AI-powered mattress pad priced at $2,195, has drawn attention from TechCrunch, which published a hands-on review of the product on September 18.
According to the review, the mattress pad uses artificial intelligence to regulate temperature across the entire surface of a bed, aiming to replicate the sensation of flipping a pillow to find its "cool side" — but for the whole mattress rather than just a small area.
The TechCrunch reviewer described a positive experience with the product's cooling performance, despite reservations about its price. The review's headline — "I'm so mad that I love Orion's $2,195 AI mattress pad" — reflects the writer's mixed reaction to enjoying a premium-priced sleep accessory.
Specific technical details about how Orion's AI system regulates temperature, along with information about the company's founding team, funding, or availability, were not disclosed in the available excerpt of the review.
TechCrunch has not yet published additional details on the product beyond the initial review. Orion has not issued a public statement regarding the coverage.
