We spend roughly a third of our lives asleep, yet the bed we sleep on has barely changed in a century — a flat surface that stays the same temperature all night, whatever our bodies are doing. DreamSpan, a young Indian health-technology company, thinks the bed itself should do the work. Its first product, Lucid Pro, is an adaptive sleep system that senses how you sleep and quietly adjusts the bed around you through the night — cooling it as you drift into deep sleep, warming it as you wake, and even lifting your head when it hears you snore.
The company behind it is Dreamsleep Healthcare Pvt Ltd, founded by Abhishek Sahu — an engineer who previously worked on the continuous glucose monitoring sensor first launched in India. Sahu’s starting point was simple: sleep trackers had taught people to measure their sleep, but nobody was building technology that actually improved it in real time. Lucid Pro, which launched in May 2026, is his answer — a system the company calls the world’s most advanced sleep system.
Three parts, one system
Lucid Pro comes in three parts that fit onto the bed you already own, installing in minutes on any mattress. The Core is a bedside unit that powers the system and tracks the health of the bedroom itself. The Cover is a sensor-laden layer that goes over the mattress, with built-in biometric sensors and dual temperature zones — one for you, one for your partner. And the Base slides under the mattress and adjusts the bed’s position, lifting the head or settling into a zero-gravity mode for weightless pressure relief.
A bed that adjusts through the night
The heart of Lucid Pro is its climate control. Each side of the bed can be cooled or warmed independently across a range of 13°C to 44°C, and the temperature adapts through the night to the sleeper’s actual sleep stage — the bed gently cools when deep sleep is detected, helping the sleeper stay in deep sleep longer, and warms as morning approaches. If snoring is detected, the head of the bed auto-elevates to open the airway and help reduce it, without waking the partner. And instead of a blaring alarm, Lucid Pro wakes its sleeper with gentle vibrations and warmth on their side of the bed alone, timed to the right moment in the sleep cycle. The company says the system can add up to an extra hour of quality sleep every night.
Tracking without wearing anything
Because the sensors live in the bed, Lucid Pro tracks sleep without asking anyone to wear a device. The Cover’s biometric sensors follow sleep stages — deep, REM, light and awake — along with heart rate, resting heart rate, heart-rate variability and respiratory rate, building a daily recovery score and flagging abnormal biomarkers early. The system also reads the bedroom itself, continuously monitoring carbon dioxide, humidity, temperature and particulate matter, and it can automate the air conditioner, purifier and humidifier when levels shift. All of it flows into spanOS, the company’s health operating system, which unifies more than 300 biomarkers, estimates biological age and its rate of change, and syncs with wearables, lab reports and nutrition apps.

From bedrooms to buildings
The idea is already moving beyond individual bedrooms. In August 2026, Ahmedabad developer Nila Spaces made DreamSpan its sleep-technology partner in a ₹25 crore integration across two residential developments, Vida and Prana — with DreamSpan technology planned for every bedroom at Prana in GIFT City. Early users include CRED chief executive Miten, who says he now falls asleep in five minutes instead of thirty, and Rainmatter investor Dilip, who has watched his resting heart rate fall since he started sleeping on the system.
It is a timely bet. A 2026 meta-analysis of 14 Indian studies covering more than 8,200 participants put the pooled prevalence of sleep disorders in India at 51.4% — more than half the country sleeping badly. DreamSpan’s answer is to turn the most ordinary object in the bedroom into a piece of health technology: a bed that senses, adapts and quietly works through the night, so that the third of life we spend asleep finally gets some engineering of its own.
