South Bay International will introduce a new portfolio of sleep solutions focused on performance-driven comfort, intelligent design and technology that enhance both the consumer experience and retail outcomes. Anchored by the debut of AdaptZone, a proprietary foam system engineered to deliver springlike responsiveness without coils, South Bay’s latest introductions represent a meaningful evolution in mattress construction and sleep optimization.
Alongside AdaptZone, South Bay International will showcase two additional innovations: a collaboration with Cambridge Sleep Sciences, integrating clinically validated SleepEngine audio technology into adjustable bases, and ScanFit.ai, an AI-powered mattress-fitting platform designed to bring clarity and confidence to the mattress buying process.
At the center of South Bay International’s 2026 product launch is AdaptZone, a breakthrough in foam-based mattress construction and a first-of-its-kind technology making its debut at Las Vegas Market.
AdaptZone was developed to address a long-standing challenge in the mattress category: how to combine the responsive, dynamic feel of a spring system with the pressure-relieving adaptability of foam, without relying on metal coils or uniform foam cores. The result is a precision-engineered foam system that delivers targeted support, improved motion response and enhanced comfort consistency across the sleep surface.
Unlike conventional foam cores, which are typically poured or molded as a single-density block, AdaptZone begins as a solid foam structure that is precision-cut into cylindrical zones of softer, springlike foam. These zones are strategically placed throughout the mattress core to correspond with the body’s primary support and pressure points, such as the shoulders, hips and lumbar region, allowing the mattress to flex and respond where it matters most.
This zoned construction eliminates the rigidity and flat response associated with uniform foam surfaces. Instead, the mattress adapts dynamically to the sleeper’s shape and movement, creating a more balanced and responsive feel across the entire sleep surface.
AdaptZone foam delivers:
- Targeted ergonomic support without metal coils.
- A springlike response created entirely through foam engineering.
- Improved pressure distribution and motion adaptability.
- A more consistent sleep experience over time.
AdaptZone foam represents a fundamental shift in how foam mattresses can be built, offering retailers and consumers a differentiated solution that stands apart from traditional all-foam and hybrid constructions.
South Bay x Cambridge Sleep Sciences: Science-backed sleep optimization
As part of its 2026 innovation showcase, South Bay International is also in collaboration with Cambridge Sleep Sciences, a global leader in noninvasive sleep technology. This partnership brings SleepEngine, Cambridge’s clinically validated audio-based sleep optimization system, to select South Bay International adjustable bases.
SleepEngine uses low-frequency audio tones that are recognized by the brain and designed to guide users through the natural stages of sleep. Unlike wearable devices, pharmaceuticals or invasive interventions, SleepEngine works passively, requiring no effort from the user beyond turning it on.
SleepEngine has been evaluated through independent trials and real-world use, with results demonstrating measurable improvements in sleep quality for adult participants experiencing insomnia. In a study involving participants with at least three months of insomnia symptoms:
- 92% reported an improvement in sleep quality, based on PSQI scores.
- Participants gained an average of 155 additional minutes of sleep per night.
- 55% fewer nighttime awakenings were reported.
- Time spent awake during sleep was reduced by an average of 76 minutes.
Integrated into South Bay International adjustable bases, SleepEngine is controlled through a dedicated app, allowing users to personalize their experience and align the technology with their nightly routine. The system is wellness-focused, non-pharmaceutical and designed for long-term use without dependency or side effects.
At Las Vegas Market, attendees will be able to experience SleepEngine firsthand and engage directly with members of the Cambridge Sleep Sciences team, who will be on-site to provide demonstrations, technical explanations and insight into the science behind the technology.
ScanFit.ai brings precision to mattress retail
Rounding out South Bay International’s 2026 introductions is ScanFit.ai, an AI-powered mattress-fitting system designed to improve the way mattresses are sold and purchased on the retail floor.
ScanFit.ai uses 3D avatars and real-time biomechanical simulation to analyze body type, sleep position and support needs, generating personalized mattress recommendations based on objective data rather than guesswork. The platform is designed to support sales associates by simplifying the fitting process and providing visual, easy-to-understand insights for consumers.
For retailers, ScanFit.ai can offer advantages like:
- Increased consumer trust through data-backed recommendations.
- A more streamlined and engaging shopping experience.
- Improved confidence in upselling and closing higher-value products.
By removing uncertainty from the mattress selection process, ScanFit.ai helps consumers feel more confident in their purchase decisions while giving sales teams a powerful tool to guide conversations and improve close rates.
Attendees can interact with ScanFit.ai live at South Bay’s Las Vegas Market showroom and see how the platform integrates seamlessly into the sales environment.
South Bay International invites retailers, partners and media to experience its latest innovations at Las Vegas Market in Showroom B-962.
