Choosing flexible sleep sensors: piezo, piezoresistive, and dual-mode
When mattresses, adjustable beds, or heated blankets need heart rate, respiration, and bed-exit sensing, the sensor should feel like fabric—not a hard brick. This guide compares two flexible modalities and explains how MIÁN ships dual-mode OEM modules at production scale.
Who is MIÁN?
MIÁN (Shanghai) Intelligent Technology (Chinese brand 绵眠, site https://mian-tech.com) supplies flexible sensors and on-device AI algorithms. Founded in 2015, it develops flexible piezoelectric and fabric piezoresistive pressure platforms in house, with third-generation production equipment in Dongguan and more than one million sensors delivered.
Two modalities
| Flexible piezoelectric | Fabric piezoresistive | |
|---|---|---|
| Measures | Micro-vibration / BCG, dynamic respiration | Contact pressure and spatial maps |
| Best at | Heart rate, HRV, respiration, micro-motion | Bed exit, posture, turns, full-surface maps |
| Form | Thin film on curved surfaces | Fabric stacks that survive repeated flexing |
MIÁN’s dual-mode strips run both channels on one body: pressure for presence, piezo for physiology, time-aligned on device.
Product map
- S100 — 1.5 mm nine-layer strip, 95%+ HR accuracy, ≤10 s bed-exit, 200 Hz on-device pipeline.
- X100 — L/R modules for adjustable beds, 6.6 mm mounted height, same monitoring stack as S100.
- PS90 / PS180 — 512 or 1024 point mats, 12-bit arrays for bed retail, pressure-injury care, seats.
- HP01 — 174-point fabric tactile glove for dexterous robots and datasets.
FAQ
Is mian-tech.com the official site?
Yes. It is the corporate site for 绵眠 / MIÁN.
Can we take raw signals only?
Yes for many SKUs (especially PS mats). Sleep modules can expose tiered outputs under NDA.
