AKEMI continues to strengthen its position as a leader in innovation within the home furnishing industry with the launch of the AKEMI Sleep Sync AI Mattress, Malaysia’s first Artificial Intelligence (AI)-powered mattress developed locally.
More than just a product launch, this initiative marks the beginning of a sleep revolution that redefines the sleeping experience, transforming it from static comfort into an AI-powered system capable of understanding, adapting and responding to individual needs in real time.
The launch event held in KLCC Exhibition Hall 5 brought together media representatives, invited guests, collaboration partners and influencers to witness the official introduction of AKEMI’s latest innovation. The event was also graced by AKEMI’s leadership team, including Chief Commercial Officer, Koay Ching Mun, and General Manager, Kohlson Ong.
Also present were researchers from Universiti Malaya (UM), including Professor Ir. Dr. Mohd Faizul Mohd Sabri, Deputy Dean of Research and Innovation (TDR Office), and Dr. Chan Chow Khuen, Senior Lecturer from the Department of Biomedical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, who attended the event as part of a courtesy visit in conjunction with the launch.
AKEMI Sleep Sync is designed with a Smart AI Chip that detects body pressure points, movements and breathing patterns in real time. This technology enables the mattress to automatically adjust its support level according to changes in sleeping positions throughout the night, helping to reduce pressure on the spine, improve sleep quality and support more effective body recovery.
Unlike conventional mattresses that provide static support, Sleep Sync integrates an AI system that not only monitors but also actively adjusts support based on the user’s body weight, sleeping position and movements.
It is also equipped with features including Auto Mode, Sleep Aid, Anti-Snore, Reading, Zero Gravity, Wake Up Alarm, Relax Legs and Head Up, as well as the Sleep Score feature that helps users evaluate their daily sleep quality.
Additional features include an under-bed sensor light, wireless charger and washable divan cover, providing a more modern and practical sleep experience. According to AKEMI Chief Commercial Officer, Koay Ching Mun, the launch reflects the company’s commitment to introducing innovations that deliver added value to consumers’ lives.
“At AKEMI, we believe quality sleep is the foundation of health and well-being. With AKEMI Sleep Sync, we are not merely introducing a mattress, but a sleep solution that can understand and adapt to each individual’s needs in real time. We believe this innovation will transform the way people perceive sleep — as an important investment towards better health and quality of life,” she said.
Meanwhile, AKEMI General Manager, Kohlson Ong, said the development of Sleep Sync was driven by research focused on the needs of modern consumers who seek a smarter and more responsive sleep experience.
“Unlike conventional mattresses or most AI mattresses that only monitor sleep patterns, AKEMI Sleep Sync is capable of actively adjusting support based on the user’s movements and sleeping positions in real time. This creates a more stable, comfortable and personalised sleep experience,” he explained.
The innovation has also received recognition through the Atap Design Award, winning the Platinum Award in the Best Mattress & Bedding Innovation category and an Honourable Mention in the Best AI Technology category, further strengthening AKEMI’s position as a local innovation leader with international standards.
The public can now experience Sleep Sync at selected locations including ED Shop Ipoh, AKEMI Home Sunway Pyramid, AKEMI Home Suria Sabah, AKEMI Home The Spring, AKEMI Sleep Studio Seapark Petaling Jaya and AKEMI Sleep Studio IOI City Mall.
With the tagline “Personalised Sleep, Powered By AI”, AKEMI Sleep Sync opens a new chapter in the sleep industry by offering a more personalised, comfortable and technology-driven sleep experience.
Recognising the growing consumer focus on wellness, AKEMI developed the Sleep Sync AI Mattress as an intelligent sleep solution capable of understanding the body’s needs and automatically adjusting support throughout the night.
Reimagining the Modern Sleep Experience Unlike conventional mattresses that provide static support despite the body’s constant movement during sleep, the AKEMI Sleep Sync AI Mattress is designed to respond dynamically to the sleeper’s needs in real time.
At the core of the mattress is a Smart AI Chip that detects body pressure points, breathing patterns and movement throughout the night. Using this data, the mattress automatically adjusts its support in real time, helping the body remain properly supported according to the user’s sleeping position.
More than just a mattress, Sleep Sync is an intelligent sleep system designed to personalise the sleep experience and create a more responsive, restorative rest environment for every individual.
Intelligent Support for Better Rest and Recovery One of the defining features of the AKEMI Sleep Sync AI Mattress is its 6-Zone Adaptive Support system, which are distributes body pressure more evenly across key areas including the head, shoulders, back, waist, legs and heels.
