Created for long distance couples to feel the comfort of their spouse in bed, this pair of identical sheets detects occupancy and warms the paired sheet to mimic the presence of the other person.
Long distance couples often face sadness and frustration when their significant others are away. They want to feel the comfort, warmth, and security of their significant other sleeping in the bed beside them.

Goal:
Develop a sheet/mattress pad that utilizes sensors on a grid system to detect weight and pressure from one bed (of the pair) to reproduce warmth at the same time for couples who are unintentionally separated. SleepTight would be a convenient tool to use for monitoring the status of one bed (of the pair) and send notifications to the person who is far away from home so that the couple can trust each other based on the information provided by the device. These information include that how many occupants are in the bed; when the user goes to bed and when he/she gets up. The device was designed to strengthen the relationship between separated couples in an ambient way (compared to installing a camera).
