("Fullpower") announced today they have formed a strategic partnership to create a revolutionary new smart bed system leveraging Fullpower's patented Sleeptracker® technology. This partnership brings together the iconic Beautyrest® and Serta® brands with Fullpower's leading patented sleep technology platform, powered by data science and optimized with research from more than 200 million nights of sleep.
