How could it ruin somebodys sleep, when they could just simply pull the plug? And in case of the preheated matress just lay it outside or put some ice on it. Seems like constructed problems to me.

And: whoever buys products that can only be run when it connects to a foreign server is an idiot. There should be laws preventing cloud-only physical products, as this causes unnecessary waste as soon as the companies stop offering the service (for whatever reason). They should at least habe to offer containerized versions of the backend service that can be run locally.

Some adjustable mattresses versions were stuck in the reading position and could not be lowered to the sleeping position

I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic!?
