[00:00:00] Into: (Trasncription powered by Descript and is not edited for content and errors may occur.) It's around the House

[00:00:08] Sherry Chapman: the house. Yes. The best sleep is, uh, the best product is whatever allows you to sleep the best and is the most comfortable and fits into your lifestyle. And when you look at a sleep solution, there are many, many facets. It's not potentially just one product. It is everything together, right?

[00:00:26] Sherry Chapman: It's the right match. It's I think, including an adjustable base, um, it is what your sleep surrounding is like, it's the temperature. It's how you go to bed. So much of what you do during the day will inform how you sleep. So. Is holistic and, and people use the word holistic. You can't talk about a sleep set up in your bedroom without talking about who you are as a person,

[00:00:56] Into: when it comes to the modeling and renovating your home.

[00:00:58] Into: There is a lot to know [00:01:00] this is around the house.

[00:01:13] Eric Goranson: welcome to around the house. Eric G and Caroline be your source for home improvement every single week. This is not, I promise you your grandmother's home improvement show, where we get you on top of technology and everything else all during the week. Hey Caroline. Hey.

[00:01:32] Caroline Blazovsky: Hey, we're the innovators. We've got the latest and the greatest and the newest in the.

[00:01:38] Eric Goranson: You got it. And that's what we pride to get you the best information out there. And we've got more of that today. We're going to talk a little bit about sleeping in your home because I don't sleep well at night. I get good sleep, but my body is so beat up and destroyed that if I could get six or seven hours, I'm usually pretty [00:02:00] stoked, but we're going to talk a little bit better about getting you some better rest here today

[00:02:05] Caroline Blazovsky: and a bed that will help you do.

[00:02:07] Caroline Blazovsky: Because I think we all are beaten up, you know, you've got a knee injury, a shoulder injury, that's like you, and then you toss and turn. And every time you roll over, you wake up and the, do you have one of those phones that, or the watches or a ring that tells you how you sleep?

[00:02:22] Eric Goranson: You know, I used to, I had, I used to have one of the Fitbits and I threw mine away and I'll tell you why.

[00:02:30] Eric Goranson: I actually got mad at Fitbit. So this was my. Okay, I'm going to go out and buy the Fitbit scale. The Fitbit watch I'm going to go with it. And I own the Fitbit scale for about six months and they, I didn't realize, and they didn't do enough research clearly on it. And one on the forums and stuff like that.

[00:02:52] Eric Goranson: But I went on and actually all of a sudden, in one day it quit working and I realized it was when, [00:03:00] um, my cable company came in and upgraded my router. Well come to find out they were using such old technology to communicate. I couldn't find a router on the market that used that old technology, even though it was a six-month old unit, I called Fitbit up and they went, wow, you can buy a new $300 scale and I'm like, I'm done goodbye.

[00:03:20] Eric Goranson: So I quit using those things at that point. Cause I was like, forget you. I'm done. I broke up with it.

[00:03:29] Caroline Blazovsky: We have, we have an aura ring and I don't know if people have heard about aura, but it's a ring that you wear and it tells you all kinds of things. Like, are you, you know, you wake up the next day and it'll say, Hey, bad level, you didn't sleep well last night. And it's all based on how much you're turning and how much your, how your breathing is and your respiratory rate.

[00:03:48] Caroline Blazovsky: What I like about the aura in particular is it'll tell me if I'm going to have a good workout. Cause you know, sometimes you go to the gym or you go to work out and you're so lethargic and tired and you're like, this isn't going to go, well, it'll tell you ahead of [00:04:00] time, like don't even bother

[00:04:01] Into: working out.

[00:04:05] Eric Goranson: I probably would never make it to the gym because you know, I, I would guess that if you put a sensor on me that every night I probably move four or five times every hour, at least. And. You would just go not today gardens and not the day,

[00:04:22] Into: never

[00:04:23] Caroline Blazovsky: have to work out. It would

[00:04:24] Sherry Chapman: be

[00:04:24] Eric Goranson: awesome to ever go to the gym.

[00:04:25] Eric Goranson: Hey, did you know, this thing told me it's not going to be a

[00:04:27] good

[00:04:28] Sherry Chapman: thing.

[00:04:30] Into: Okay.

[00:04:34] Eric Goranson: Maybe tomorrow, maybe tomorrow. So we're going to talk

[00:04:38] Into: mattresses,

[00:04:40] Caroline Blazovsky: mattresses actually bedding.

[00:04:42] Eric Goranson: Let's talk about mattresses because yeah, the next later on, we've got an interview here, uh, on some great new technology, you know, to be able to get you in a better place for sleep, but let's talk about mattresses for a minute.

[00:04:56] Eric Goranson: Cause you just did some stories on this recently. [00:05:00] And I change my mattress out about every three or four years, but there's a lot of people out there that go longer and that's quite frankly, can be disgusting.

[00:05:09] Sherry Chapman: We post

[00:05:10] Caroline Blazovsky: the story up about, you know, when you should change your mattress or replace it. And remember like I commented and he said that his mother's had the same mattress for, what did he say?

[00:05:19] Caroline Blazovsky: Like 25 years or 50

[00:05:21] years.

[00:05:22] Eric Goranson: It was a lot.

[00:05:24] Into: And I'd like cigarette burns or something.

[00:05:28] Eric Goranson: So bad, so bad. Well, you think about it. How many would you say there's like 50 million skin cells get dropped off

[00:05:38] Sherry Chapman: a hundred, 5

[00:05:39] Caroline Blazovsky: million skin cells a day, a day. You're slopping off all this skin into the bed.

[00:05:46] Eric Goranson: So when you go over to go move somebody's 20 year old mattress and I'm going to grow us, everybody out now that's ticking their pickup truck to go help them.

[00:05:55] Eric Goranson: And they've got that 20 year old Blake avocado, green and gold [00:06:00] mattress from 1975. That's their, that they've been using and you go to Lyft and you're like, dude, what is this thing made out of steel? No, that is all skin cells all inside the mattress. And so now you've got a mattress though. One

[00:06:14] Caroline Blazovsky: 50 pounds more than when you started.

[00:06:17] Caroline Blazovsky: So your mattress is always going to way more, cause all these skin cells go into it, but you use a mattress cover. So you protect my mattress.

[00:06:26] Eric Goranson: Yeah. I use a mattress cover on there just because I read about that years ago and I went, that's not going to be my house and it's a good way to go, but I'm also replacing it every few years because you know, After a while it's a mattress breaks down and you know, there's so many different, you can get the mattress in the box.

[00:06:45] Eric Goranson: That is the, you know, the foam one that you. Open it up and it feels like a life raft. You know, you open it up.

[00:06:53] Into: That's the law,

[00:06:55] Caroline Blazovsky: that's the, that's the, no, it was a tough and needle and it comes in this really small box. Right. And you're like, how [00:07:00] does this mattress fit in this box? And then you go and open it.

[00:07:03] Caroline Blazovsky: And like Eric said, it's like, and the whole thing opens this giant,

[00:07:08] Eric Goranson: all those mattress and the box companies have that purple Casper, all those guys. It's this little box. 75 pounds. It seems you're like, wow, that's a pretty dense little box. Yeah. Cause it's foam and they've sucked all the air out of it.

[00:07:22] Eric Goranson: And as soon as you open it up, it's just like takes a life of its own. It feels like you're opening that life raft inside the, inside the room for a minute. But it's, it's cool. It works. But, um, man, you know, there's still though, here's the thing. And I'm gonna, I'm gonna bag on these guys a little. Only because I don't know, it always seems better to go tra it's such a personal thing, right?

[00:07:45] Eric Goranson: It just seems better to go into your local mattress store. Go lay down on it a couple times over a couple of different days, spend some time on it and go, is this great? Or is this horrible? I've gotten mattresses before. And I'm like, there is no way. [00:08:00] This thing is like it's made out of bricks. There's no Amazon.

[00:08:04] Caroline Blazovsky: And there's so many different kinds. Like there's, you know, you've got organic cotton, you have latex mattresses, you have your foams, and now you've got, you know, your, your, um, urethane foam, but then now you have your more environmentally friendly foam, like the low, the purple or the, um, the needle. So, and then, you know, from there, you can even go into wool covers and, and there's, you know, um, No flame retardants, right?

[00:08:30] Caroline Blazovsky: Flame retardants are a big thing because they're what we call. They can be endocrine disruptors. So a lot of people have gotten away from splaying spraying, actual flame retardants on these mattresses because mattresses actually the laws that they have to be safe for fire hazard. So now they're using all different types of technology, so they don't have to spray chemicals onto your mattress.

[00:08:50] Caroline Blazovsky: Um, but yeah, there's so many options and you need to really research it cause it's more intricate than you think.

[00:08:57] Eric Goranson: It is. And coming up here in a little bit, we've got a great [00:09:00] discussion here. Where do we talking about some of the adjustable bed basis? Because we can talk mattresses and all that stuff, but that's not what we're doing today as far as brand specific, but we've got a great, uh, ergo motion.

[00:09:13] Eric Goranson: This is going to be an amazing discussion here, or we're going to be able to talk about that because I tell you what no one what you can do on the base and then still use your brand new map. That's not a bad way to go, right? Exactly. Absolutely. Well, we're running out of time here, Caroline. Let's run out to break and we come back.

[00:09:35] Eric Goranson: Let's have this base discussion. We'll do that just as soon as around the house returns.

[00:09:57] Into: the stick hand satchel from [00:10:00] steel

[00:10:00] Eric Goranson: Panther.

[00:10:00] Into: And you are listening to around the house with Eric

[00:10:04] Sherry Chapman: G. Yeah. We love Eric G and

[00:10:08] Into: you shouldn't do.

[00:10:20] Eric Goranson: welcome to around the house with Eric G N Caroline B, where we talk everything about your home every single week. Thanks for joining us. Hey Caroline.

[00:10:31] Hey.

[00:10:33] Caroline Blazovsky: God, this week's gone so fast. And, um, it just seems like it goes faster and faster. It seems like our guests just keep popping up and now we've got someone who's in my category.

[00:10:42] Caroline Blazovsky: You know, how much I love health and wellness and especially healthy homes. So

[00:10:47] Eric Goranson: let's see, we've also got my category, which is home technology. So we're kinda meshing this together. We're married. Let's welcome into the conversation. Sherry Chapman. [00:11:00] Ergo emotion. Welcome to around the house.

[00:11:03] Sherry Chapman: Hi. Hi. Hi. Glad to be here.

[00:11:05] Sherry Chapman: Thanks so much for having me.

[00:11:07] Eric Goranson: Thanks for coming on today. Well, you guys were hit at CES and you guys are transforming. It seems sleep and connectivity to, for people to understand what's going on in there.

[00:11:24] Sherry Chapman: Yeah, it's uh, we had a, we had a great show, um, really, really enjoyed bringing, um, what the team has been working on and the sleep and wellness technology, uh, to CES and, uh, I think the consumers are really starting to appreciate the importance of having tech, having products that will help be more predictive and proactive for them.

[00:11:48] Sherry Chapman: And really sleep is one of those areas that obviously we all do is very important. And the data that can be gleaned from, um, your body while you're sleeping, um, [00:12:00] really is transformative. To consumers and as, um, vendors and manufacturers, it's on us to create those products that will weave into the consumer's lifestyle.

[00:12:13] Sherry Chapman: Um, and that's, that's, I think where the really important part is. And what's so exciting about, um, us at ergo motion and what we're creating.

[00:12:21] Caroline Blazovsky: Number one question, I get Sherry as a healthy home expert. What type of bed should I get? What's the best bed. And this is a loaded question. So hopefully you can clarify a little bit about when you're looking at a bed or you're looking for optimal sleep.

[00:12:37] Caroline Blazovsky: What are the characteristics, what are you going to look for? How do you get the best sleep and why is your product so much better at doing that?

[00:12:46] Sherry Chapman: Well, you know, it's, it's a great question. In fact, uh, we you're right. We, we get asked that a lot and, um, From our peer review. Um, and from what I, I feel the best sleep is, uh, the best [00:13:00] product is whatever allows you to sleep the best and is the most comfortable and fits into your lifestyle.

[00:13:06] Sherry Chapman: And when you look at a sleep solution, there are many, many facets it's not. Potentially just one product. It is everything together, right? It's it's the right mattress. It's I think, including an adjustable base, um, it is what your sleep surrounding is like, it's the temperature. It's how you go to bed. So much of what you do during the day will inform how you sleep.

[00:13:33] Sherry Chapman: So it is holistic and, and people use the word holistic. You can't talk about. Asleep set up in your bedroom without talking about who you are as a person and how you're living your life. Um, sleep is something that happens at the end of the day, but in order to really capitalize on your sleep, you've got to make sure what you're doing during the day is setting you up for proper sleep.

[00:13:59] Sherry Chapman: [00:14:00] Um, and we believe are adjustable basis and the adjustable base category. We'll start to it. And it currently is allowing you to better enjoy those moments when you sleep before sleeping and when you wake up as well. And that's, that's a lot about what we talk about. When we talk about heart, uh, smart home connected, adjustable base, I'm starting to help infuse those lifestyle moments to help you get ready for a good night's sleep.

[00:14:28] Eric Goranson: And one of those a few years ago, one of those watch, you know, fitness. Watches. And it tells me how my sleep was. And unfortunately, I've had so many injuries over the years of playing hard and working hard. I've broken shoulders. And so I sleep on both sides and my stomach, little bit on my back, trying to find that comfortable.

[00:14:52] Eric Goranson: It doesn't matter what mattress I have. I don't have any adjustable, but because I'm always moving around in the night, it showed me constantly [00:15:00] moving. Trying to find that comfort. So I got no data out of that thing that was out of that watch because it was basically watching my movement and because I was moving every 30 minutes to 40 minutes, it read it as bad information that I didn't really wasn't sleeping at night.

[00:15:16] Eric Goranson: And I think I was sleeping better, but it seems like you guys have sensors and stuff in there that can give you a much better idea. What's.

[00:15:25] Sherry Chapman: Well, yeah, and I think, and not that sleep tracking and movement is not an important data set. It is. W if you wake up and you don't feel well, you don't necessarily need a number to tell you that my C you know, I know I did

[00:15:40] Caroline Blazovsky: well.

[00:15:45] Sherry Chapman: Yeah. That's that's right. So I think where, um, the, the predictive and the proactive, um, Datasets and sensors. So yeah, we, we have, uh, we're infusing non-contact health sensors into the [00:16:00] adjustable base that will start, that will read, um, your heart rate, your respiration and movement. And I think combining those three data sets together, we'll let you know you, you could have sleep app.

[00:16:14] Sherry Chapman: You could have, you know, stopped a lot of times people have sleep apnea and they don't even know they have tea and that will help to record if you've stopped breathing during the night, um, by recording your, um, your heart rate, you know, it is a day over day, month over month. Um, so week or week, month over month, um, analysis of what's happening and.

[00:16:39] Sherry Chapman: You can take a look at the data and say, wow, there's something happening with me right now. That is different from two weeks ago. Maybe I should go contact my doctor. Maybe I should look at what's going on. So it's more than the bed telling you that you didn't sleep well. Now it's really starting to inform what's going on again [00:17:00] during the day what's going on with your body.

[00:17:02] Sherry Chapman: That's creating a poor sleep, um, output. Eric saw nurses, all

[00:17:07] Caroline Blazovsky: of that. You saw the bed. Right. So, and I didn't get to see it. So how does it monitor you? Is it monitoring you through an app through sensors that tell an app? Or how does.

[00:17:20] Sherry Chapman: Um, yeah, so currently ergo emotion is, has two products, uh, which we'll be showcasing at market. Um, we have Dawn house living, which is, uh, really focused at our aging in place consumer. And then we have ergos, well, actually, I'm sorry. Three, three products. We have ergo sportive, which is a relationship with Garmin, um, a bed that will, um, include, uh, data into your Garmin watch.

[00:17:42] Sherry Chapman: And then we have our quest zone, which also has our sensors. What we utilize, it's called non-contact health sensors. So there's sensors in the adjustable base itself. You can use any mattress. And what those sensors do is those sensors read vibrations. [00:18:00] So heart rate, respiration movement all give out different vibrations.

[00:18:04] Sherry Chapman: And so based on those frequencies, we will record that. And yes, it'll all be. That you can take a look at and we'll give you what your readings are for that evening. No,

[00:18:16] Eric Goranson: we've all seen all of those smart things out there that, you know, oh, my Instapot is run by Alexa. My bed is run by Alexa. Everything's run by Alexa.

[00:18:28] Eric Goranson: It seems that you guys have gone a way different direction with that with actually it seems like something that's smart in that it's giving you a lot of data without some of the. I guess goofy. I don't need my bed talking to me. Around the house. We'll be right back after these important messages. Don't go

[00:18:46] Into: anywhere.

[00:18:47] Into: Wow.

[00:18:57] Into: Hey, this is Ron keel,

[00:18:59] Eric Goranson: the middle [00:19:00] cowboy from keel,

[00:19:01] Sherry Chapman: the Ron keel band and Steeler. We are rocking

[00:19:04] Eric Goranson: around the house

[00:19:05] Into: with Eric.

[00:19:14] Eric Goranson: welcome back to around the house with Eric G and Caroline B. We've been talking with Sherry Chapman from ergo motion. Now let's get back to that conference.

[00:19:22] Sherry Chapman: That's true. Um, we have, we have two products of that. We're excited about. We have quest connect, which really just focuses on smart home integration.

[00:19:31] Sherry Chapman: It doesn't have the integrated health sensors. This is for the consumer who really looks at. And is into their smart home. And we think that the bedroom can be a connected universe as well. And so we've partnered with IFTTT, um, we're utilizing their platform. So our bed speaks into, um, all of the products that are in the IFTTT universe, like Hugh hunter Douglas for blinds, um, nest.[00:20:00]

[00:20:00] Sherry Chapman: So you can then set up, um, scenarios. It's time to go to nine at a time to go to bed at nine o'clock the bed lowers the blinds, go down the hue lights, you know, go or maybe it's. Yeah. And then, um, Your nest, pro's your sleeping time. So that really is for that, um, smart home IOT consumer who wants to integrate, um, sleep as part of their scenario.

[00:20:30] Eric Goranson: Yeah. That, and that can be great because if you're on that schedule, you can then in theory, then adjust that bed. Okay. At four o'clock in the morning, I'm getting up at five. I want to raise my head a little bit. I know I'm gonna be watching the TV. You know, and watch the morning news to see where traffic is or whatever, before I get up, that'll do all that for you.

[00:20:51] Sherry Chapman: Yeah, we're excited. We've got, uh, anti snore and rise to wake specific apps that you set your alarm and yeah, the bed will wake you up [00:21:00] with a gentle rise instead of having to go off. I'd have to get used to that. That's

[00:21:06] Caroline Blazovsky: something you have to get used to because you'd be like, whoa, what's happening.

[00:21:11] Sherry Chapman: Well, what we don't have is the snooze function on it.

[00:21:17] Eric Goranson: I will say my wife who gets up early in the morning cause she does the morning TV news here is the DRA is a director. She is one of those people that the alarm has to go off about eight times before she gets up. And it's a process. If she has to be up at three 30 in the morning, that alarm starts at three and, and works multiple times to get.

[00:21:39] Eric Goranson: I'm liking this idea. Maybe I can break her of that.

[00:21:43] Sherry Chapman: I mean, once you're up, you're up. I don't know about you guys, but that was the big, uh, my mom growing up two feet on the floor. There's something about getting in that upright position that, um, helps, but I'll tell you, I'm not going to lie. Since I started working at ergo emotion, [00:22:00] these adjustable base, is there a game changer?

[00:22:03] Sherry Chapman: Because once you get into that, nice, you know, you're sitting up in the bed, you've got your feet are up a little bit. Um, you're very calm. Forget your cup of coffee. The next step to the gym seems to, I got to, you know, I'm staying a little too long in my bed in the morning. I'm not gonna lie. Um, especially now that we're all working from home, there seems to be a transition that I'm, I've got to get a little bit more disciplined about.

[00:22:28] Sherry Chapman: So. Just like anything. Um, anything too good. There's always a kind of crack.

[00:22:36] Eric Goranson: Okay. Now I'm out of bed shopping now. So this seems like something that like, wait a minute. If I can stop that alarm from going off six times in the morning with that, I like this because for me I'm that same way I w alarm goes off one time.

[00:22:49] Eric Goranson: I am. And so usually by the time her first alarm goes off, I've already checked all my emails in bed, on my phone. I've done all this stuff and then I'm getting up. But [00:23:00] yeah, it's the same kind of thing. It's, it's interesting. So what are the price points for your products out there? Is it, you know, I know that's always mattresses and adjustable bases and all that stuff.

[00:23:12] Eric Goranson: It's all over the board out there.

[00:23:16] Sherry Chapman: Yes. Yes. You know, we, we really focus on adjustable basis. We, we have a lot of mattress partners. Um, we do a fantastic job. We sell a lot of our adjustable basis to all the top on mattress partners out there. So when we, when we create our own, um, branded products, we really focus on adjustable basis.

[00:23:34] Sherry Chapman: We're one of, we are probably the only company that. Put expertise has put really all of this creativity towards this one product category. And that's why we're so focused on expanding it and making sure that we are we're, we're taking it. And we're creating products that meet the consumers needs. Um, so our, you know, we, we've got our quest product line, [00:24:00] which you can buy on emotion.com.

[00:24:02] Sherry Chapman: You can buy it on Amazon. Um, we have a. Uh, dealer locator, I'd love for you to support our retail partners. It's very, very important for us. They have our most attractive pricing for our quest product line, and that starts from, you know, just a head up option. Um, I believe that's anywhere from, uh, 8, 7 99, 8 99, all the way to.

[00:24:25] Sherry Chapman: Currently quest 2.5, um, which could be at 1499. Um, again, these are all very much what I like to call the democratization of wellness, very affordable, um, very lightweight. These can be sent via FedEx. You just need two people to bring it in, set it up. Um, and, and one thing that people, a lot of times with the adjustable base, you, you don't need to buy a mattress.

[00:24:51] Sherry Chapman: You can utilize your current mattress in your home because. You know, the adjustable base really fits into certain life segments that you have and, or [00:25:00] life moments. Um, you know, you you've just gotten pregnant and it's very helpful, um, through the PA pregnancy time. And then obviously for, you know, breastfeeding, it's very helpful.

[00:25:11] Sherry Chapman: Let's say you've decided you're going to train for a marathon and you know, that, you know, rising your feet up and getting that circulation or potentially you've just hurt your back. So we really think that. The quest product line allows for hi, I need a solution today for this. I'm not looking to go and buy a whole new sleep set up.

[00:25:32] Sherry Chapman: I really liked my mattress and so the adjustable base can fit into any sleep scenario. You can put it inside your bed frame. It comes with legs. You can use it as a bed itself. You just, um, in both scenarios, remove the box spring, just put the mattress on, or if you've got a platform bed, you just take off the legs and lay it in between the mattress and the platform.

[00:25:56] Sherry Chapman: If you use it and you don't want to continue with it, you just [00:26:00] fold it up. You can put it in storage. Heck you can gift it to a family member as well. So they're very lightweight, very mobile. Um, I think very conducive to, for people in apartments, people who, you know, are looking for, you know, You know, seven, eight, $9,000 solution, but need, um, solution to a specific life moment.

[00:26:22] Eric Goranson: Yeah, I think it was just a year or two ago that I was going to say my buddy went out and bought a, you know, brand X mattress system with adjustable base and he spent almost 10 grand on it for the whole package. That's much more affordable than what I thought it would be.

[00:26:38] Caroline Blazovsky: I was going to say with health-related things like, um, sweet so that you were talking about sleep apnea, but then also like acid reflux.

[00:26:46] Caroline Blazovsky: A lot of people have this thing where they've got to elevate their bed at night. And I know because it's in our homes. So we deal with someone who has really bad acid reflux. Is that something you could utilize to help position the person better and making sure that they're elevated [00:27:00] in a certain direction?

[00:27:03] Sherry Chapman: Oh, without a doubt. The products absolutely would help with that because you can just raise the bed. The bed really raises up. It's really small inclines, so you can, you know, utilize it at, at any. And in fact, you could raise it up. So it's not necessarily, um, you know, the person, your partner, who you're sleeping with, um, would be bothered by it so much.

[00:27:27] Sherry Chapman: Um, If you could utilize, you know, kind of a split area where you've got two twin Xcel's who are, that are together, make up a king. So you can have two that are adjusting at different levels. Um, so there there's a lot of flexibility and, and I have to say that the adjustable base category is really coming, has come a long way just in the five years where.

[00:27:49] Sherry Chapman: They would be very heavy. Um, you, you know, you'd buy an adjustable waist and you would keep it for forever. And our beds are made that way. They're, they're made to last forever, [00:28:00] but because they're so heavy, you're not necessarily going to move them. Um, and so these allow you to just utilize them. Um, when, you know, specific things arise in the family as well.

[00:28:13] Sherry Chapman: I honestly, I love the idea of reusing as well. If a family member has an ailment, you know, you just remove it from your bed, set up, you can, you know, fold it up because they all fold together the quest line and bring it, you know, let somebody else use it. And you have. Oh, who sure you share. There's no reason why that, that can't be a solution as

[00:28:36] Eric Goranson: well.

[00:28:36] Eric Goranson: Round the house. We'll be right back after these important

[00:28:39] Into: messages.

[00:28:58] Eric Goranson: welcome back to. [00:29:00] Eric G and Caroline B I'll trip up that conversation with Sherry from

[00:29:05] Sherry Chapman: we've created an adjustable base bed solution for that aging in place consumer. So what we know, obviously the silver tsunami, um, all the, as the baby boomers and the, in that, um, customer segmentation, a. Um, all the data and what we've heard, you know, they, they want to stay at home for as long as possible.

[00:29:26] Sherry Chapman: So they need a product that has more assistive technology. So this product also has the sensor data has high, low, so not only does it have the adjustable base, but it goes up and down. The side rail, um, options. So it, it can as, as you age at home, um, and as you continue to be super active and healthy, the bed has, um, assistive technologies integrated.

[00:29:56] Sherry Chapman: Good on the other spectrum. We have ergo sportive, which [00:30:00] is, um, a bed that we created with partnership with Garmin, and also has the integrated health sensor, um, data. And that data while you sleep gets integrated into your Garmin watch. So you can have a 360 view. Of what's going on and it better informs the body battery, um, setting that, um, your garment watch.

[00:30:24] Eric Goranson: Oh, that is great because I don't know. I was doing a lot of research on those watches and stuff out there. And to me, Garmin looked like they were by far the leader out of the people that I know that have the different watches. That seems to be the one that gives you the most data and usable data out of that, out of all the watches.

[00:30:42] Sherry Chapman: And, uh,

[00:30:43] Caroline Blazovsky: especially sharing. I think, I mean, I come from a family where we've got a lot of athletes and professional athletes, so they want to know as much data. And even when you retire out of that, you still want to know how you're sleeping. What's your heart rate. What's your, you know, Doodads that a normal person like me, I go [00:31:00] to sleep and I wake up, but they have the ring.

[00:31:02] Caroline Blazovsky: Now the aura ring, which tells you different things, just like the garment. And so I think incorporating this into just another piece of it, for people who are really, really focused on wellness and athletics and things like that, it's amazing for them to help with our workout and knowing when to work out and, you know, if they got a good night's sleep, et cetera.

[00:31:23] Sherry Chapman: Agreed. And we really think that, um, and obviously people can wear their watch at night. Uh, but we find that a lot of people aren't wearing their watches at night, um, even the health, uh, the Fitbit, or, you know, your apple watch because I'd also needs to recharge, but we find. Getting that sleep data while you're obviously getting that data at night while you're sleeping.

[00:31:48] Sherry Chapman: Um, and while you're on the bed really is, um, very accurate. And so we've really honed in on that where obviously Garmin and apple [00:32:00] and fit that. And, you know, with rains and aura, you know, during the day, that's what you doing and that's, you know, and there's a lot of external noise that happens and it's just like your

[00:32:10] Caroline Blazovsky: finger.

[00:32:11] Caroline Blazovsky: You know, you're just monitoring something on your finger with people who don't know what an aura ring is, but it's, you put a ring on and it's supposed to tell you all these details, but when you're on a bed, you're going to get a lot more accuracy just by the way you move and breathe. I mean, a ring on your finger, isn't going to be so great.

[00:32:26] Caroline Blazovsky: So I think it provides a whole different level of, you know,

[00:32:29] Sherry Chapman: expertise.

[00:32:33] Sherry Chapman: Well, and I think it's just a great ecosystem. I think all, I think the ring and watch devices are very, very, super important. Um, I know I use my apple. Constantly to help data, but at night when you're sleeping, um, I think that you have to go with a data set that has been designed specific for sleeping, right?

[00:32:55] Sherry Chapman: So that's, you know, and the watches they're, they're designed for movement during the [00:33:00] day, and it takes in any external noise, but our data set from our sensors have been developed specific for the sleep environment. And you

[00:33:08] Eric Goranson: guys are also using fairly eco conscious materials in there as well.

[00:33:13] Sherry Chapman: Yeah, our, our headquarters, um, or we've just launched a, a very large manufacturing facility, um, in Asia using all solar power.

[00:33:22] Sherry Chapman: So we're better on the earth and we try to use materials and practices constantly that will help with, um, uh, any of the, you know, the eco, um, uh, legislation for each of the countries that we work in. And, you know, even by promoting. Letting folks share your adjustable base or utilize your adjustable base.

[00:33:46] Sherry Chapman: If you're not happy with it, you know, give it to a friend, let a friend, if it's not what you want, um, truly, really help the consumer. Think about, you know, sharing product, not necessarily, it's important for us [00:34:00] obviously to sell product, but, um, we don't want the waste and to cut down on the waste in our product team, cussing, looking at ways to cut down on waste with what we're, what we have, um, and what we're doing, even from packaging.

[00:34:15] Sherry Chapman: Uh, and, and what is it, what can we get away with? So the product arrives at the consumer's home or at our retailers, um, obviously not damaged, but we're not, we're lessening the footprint, um, on, um, the earth as well. Because again, that's just another way. If our products help you feel good about your purchase, that's another way that's going to help inform your sleep.

[00:34:40] Sherry Chapman: Um, so it's very important for, um, our company that we constantly strive to be. Eco-friendly

[00:34:48] Eric Goranson: so Sherry, where's the best place for people to go find you guys if they were going okay, this ergo motion looks like something that, uh, I want to investigate for my house. What's a, what's the best way I know [00:35:00] we touched on a little bit, but.

[00:35:02] Eric Goranson: There's a lot of different ways to get.

[00:35:04] Sherry Chapman: Yeah. Um, if you are looking for a product for, um, an aging in place, um, consumer, please go to Dawn house, living.com. Uh, that's Dawn house, living.com. It's just how it's spelled. And then you can go to ergo motion.com. You'll see our complete quest line of products. Uh, we offer it, um, at, or, you know, you can sell directly through our website.

[00:35:29] Sherry Chapman: You can go to amazon.com. Um, we'd love for everybody to check out a retailer. We've got a retailer locator on our website and go check out our, on one of our retail partners. Um, we are, you know, we support our retail environment. We think the mattress and the, the, the retailers, uh, in furniture, retailers are super important to us.

[00:35:50] Sherry Chapman: And, uh, we do a lot with them. We do a lot of training. We do a lot of in store support for them. So, um, they'll be able to also. [00:36:00] Um, in helping you find the right quest product. Yeah.

[00:36:04] That

[00:36:04] Eric Goranson: in-person kind of thing contribute. Nice. When you walk in for that, and maybe you're shopping for a mattress anyway, you might as well go take a peek at it and, and, uh, and try to put those both together.

[00:36:17] Sherry Chapman: Yes.

[00:36:17] Caroline Blazovsky: And that's something you want to try out too. Like, I feel like mattresses, a lot of the time we're forced to get something and we don't really know how comfortable it's going to be or if we're going to like it. So being able to try it is amazing, but it sounds like a win. I mean, how can you not like, if it can help you sit up and better, it can help you raise your legs or if it can help you get out of bed, especially.

[00:36:36] Caroline Blazovsky: I mean, I don't care what age you are. We all. Orthopedic issues. We end up twisting our ankle. We end up blowing out a shoulder, Eric knows, you know? And so anyway, you're

[00:36:48] Eric Goranson: going running Carolyn.

[00:36:50] Caroline Blazovsky: Oh my gosh. I ran down the road and fell in a pothole

[00:36:56] Sherry Chapman: and you just need it. I mean, I, you know, [00:37:00] I tell this story and it's, it's absolutely true. I had a meniscus tear and, um, as I was rehabbing, I would, um, you know, do my workout. I'd have to, you know, I'd come home in the morning and I would ice my knee, raise my leg and do my meditation. That's great. You know, in the adjust in my bed it's so it, you know, It's integrating the adjustable base into your lifestyle and what's happening.

[00:37:29] Sherry Chapman: Um, I think one thing that we've all learned in the last couple of years, um, that, you know, we have to change and adapt and we've got to kind of find solutions that will help us be healthy. In our life and we have to be way more proactive than I think we have in the past. Um, and so I hope that know emotion and our products, it can contribute that to society.

[00:37:53] Sherry Chapman: It's um, it's very

[00:37:54] Eric Goranson: one more thing to share. I want to add, as you just brought that up, I've had six knee surgeries, five for [00:38:00] meniscus tears. I've had all these different things to my body man, before I had my ACL MCL surgery, where they had to replace that. 20 years ago, I'd have given it a lot more than what your base is cost back then to be able to put my leg up without having to stack pillows and, and do all that stuff to follow those surgeon's orders of what I had to do for the first two weeks.

[00:38:21] Eric Goranson: So, um,

[00:38:22] Sherry Chapman: it's a smart way. Yeah, it's a, I think it's a game changer and I hope the quest line with our pricing and how mobile it is and lightweight really. And I guess I go back to repeating, but it's the democratization of wellness. It's really bringing the adjustable basis to the masses. Um, still great quality, um, amazing support.

[00:38:44] Sherry Chapman: We have US-based Santa Barbara support, and I know it sounds like a commercial. Literally, I want to see everybody with adjustable base, whether it's ours or someone else's. I just happen to think ours, um, is the best, best quality for the consumer. Uh, but I think [00:39:00] it's really a movement that is starting to gain traction.

[00:39:03] Sherry Chapman: Um, and I'd love for everybody to try one.

[00:39:07] Eric Goranson: Gary Chapman. Thanks for coming on with ergo motion today. This is great. This is something that I'm going to have to check out a little bit.

[00:39:15] Sherry Chapman: Thank you guys. Very well.
