Bryte is bringing the smart mattress experience found in luxury resorts directly to consumers with its Balance Pro. The high-end sleep system features 100 customizable firmness levels, proprietary "Bryte Balancers" that adjust individual zones, and programmable wave massage settings designed to replace traditional vibration motors. According to Wired's hands-on review, the Balance Pro distinguishes itself in the crowded smart mattress market through its refined approach to sleep automation, though it comes with compromises around adjustable base compatibility and a premium price tag that puts it firmly in the luxury category.
Bryte just entered the consumer smart mattress conversation with a product that feels more like borrowing from a five-star resort than shopping at a mattress store. The Balance Pro represents the company's premium offering, and according to Wired's Julia Forbes, it delivers on the promise of personalized sleep with some notable caveats.
The centerpiece technology revolves around what Bryte calls "Bryte Balancers" - adjustable coil systems that offer 100 different firmness levels across multiple zones of the mattress. During testing, Forbes and her husband settled on firmness levels of 60 and 80 respectively, taking about a week to dial in their preferences as the companion app suggested. The Balance Pro also features the softest memory foam top layer in Bryte's lineup, which pushed testers toward firmer settings to compensate.
But here's where things get interesting. Smart mattresses typically pair with adjustable bases that let you prop up your head or elevate your feet. Forbes found that the Bryte Balancers proved too rigid for this use case, despite the company confirming the mattress is adjustable-base compatible. "Given how pricey the bed is and how the initial attempt went, I'm breaking out in a sweat about trying again," she wrote. Bryte's team recommended using it with a traditional flat-bed frame instead, which ended up being the better experience.
