Warning
Some smart mattresses with adjustable bases have magnets that emit a strong magnetic field when the mattress or magnets are detached from the base.
Strong magnetic fields can damage electronics, electronic/magnetic storage devices, AV equipment, bank/credit/debit cards, etc.
When the mattress is attached to its base, the magnetic field is less than 5 Gauss at any distance and is considered safe for all persons.
When a mattress is not attached to a base, such as when transported or serviced, persons with medical implants should stay a minimum of 3 feet away from the magnets.
To minimize the risk of a pinch injury, keep magnets away from each other and away from other metal objects.
