Our Must Haves For August

Just how well does your little one sleep? Probably not as well as you'd like (or they'd like either). Knowing how many parents have improved their sleeping thanks to Sleep Number beds, the company is expanding their Sleep IQ technology to kid-sized beds, along with a few additional features — like an automated night light under the bed that turns on when a child gets out of bed and turns off when he gets back in. The beds can be adjusted up and down and hard and soft to actually "grow" with your kids.
Like the grown-up version, the bed has sensors that track breathing, heart rate, and movement. All of that data is collected in an app to determine patterns, and alert parents when their kids are out of bed. The app also serves as a sticker chart for following a bedtime routine and has a "search for monsters" feature that miraculously doesn't find any in your tot's room. The bed comes in twin, full, queen, and king sizes and starts at a pricey $999, so it isn't for the faint of heart. But for kids who never seem to get comfortable, this might be the answer!
