Exciting news from ASC: we’re proud to introduce the limited-edition ASC x Transcend - Upcycled DWR version of the SlumberTek — a quietly powerful piece of smart-home tech wrapped in a story of collaboration, conscience, and craft.
Why this collab matters
At ASC we believe smart homes should also be thoughtful homes. The SlumberTek mat already gives you seamless bed-presence detection — but for this edition we took a step further into values. We partnered with Transcend, led by founder Nazia Siddiqui, whose brand is built on ethical fashion, sustainable materials and artisan-led production.
Transcend’s ethos of paying living wages, using only plastic-free fabrics and giving back to makers deeply aligns with our own belief to building tech in the U.S. with durable, meaningful materials. By working together we’ve merged two very different disciplines — smart-textiles + ethical textile-upcycling — to make something not just connected, but conscious.
What makes the Upcycled DWR edition unique
-
It’s still your top-tier SlumberTek: ultra-thin e-textile sensor layer that sits under your mattress, reliably detects bed presence, hooks into Home Assistant and more.
-
But now the exterior fabric finish is a DWR (durable water repellent) textile curated by Transcend from upcycled material streams.
-
The finish empowers a subtle, elevated look: thoughtful black-fabric aesthetic with a purpose.
-
Hand-made in the U.S., aligned with ASC’s smart-textile innovation and Transcend’s craft-driven design.
Why this matters to you
If you care not just about what your home does but what it means, this edition offers both. You get the smart-home integration you expect from ASC + a tangible commitment to material ethics from Transcend. It’s perfect for homes that want to blend high performance and high values.
A forward-looking philosophy
Nazia says it best:
“I knew I had to do better…” … “Growing up I learned about fabric, craft, makers — so when I started Transcend I built a brand deeply rooted in the principles of sustainability and ethics.”
For us at ASC, smart-textiles aren’t just about “what can sensors do?” but also “what should our materials and choices say about how we live?” This collab brings that question to the forefront.
How to get yours
This is a limited-edition run of the SlumberTek, now available on our website. This piece gives you both new ways to automate your lights, thermostat, notifications, and more while also reflecting your deeper values.
Thank you for joining us on this journey — of smarter homes, more conscious materials, and collaborations that matter. We’re proud of what we’ve made together with Transcend, and hope you’ll be proud to bring it home.
