The bedsheet and the blanket belts travel in opposing directions and roll the occupant as he sleeps. The Bedmill is ideal for sleepers who cant get comfortable and tend to change position a lot when they sleep. When sleeping in the bedmill the sleeper is constantly changing position and become resigned to that fact. The sleepers must hold their pillow as they sleep or else it will likely be separated from them.

Can we get it trainable and programmable? Can I ask it to monitor my rolling patterns for a week and decide on time frames and degrees of approach? (+)
