Forbes just named the Bryte Balance Pro "Best Smart Bed for Back Pain"
Forbes published their updated smart bed roundup this month and the Bryte Balance Pro took the Best Smart Bed for Back Pain category, tested by their mattress and sleep editor, a certified sleep science coach who has tested over 100 beds.
Their reasoning was specific. Where most smart beds on the list are built around temperature control, Forbes noted that Bryte is designed around targeted Active Pressure Relief, with 90 silent air-powered Active Balancers responding in real time as you shift positions throughout the night. They highlighted the 8 customizable support zones across the shoulders, hips, and lumbar region as the feature that sets it apart for back and pressure pain.
The editor's sleep report showed the mattress adjusted 90 times in a single night as she shifted positions. Her husband was set to a firmness of 75 while her setting was 55, both determined by the app at setup, which was “perfect” for her. She also called out BryteWaves specifically, describing the sensation as feeling like floating on a cushy inflatable in the water, which she said lulled her to sleep faster than expected.
