Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) partners with Plan3 to strengthen passenger care during disruption

Published

on

Three-year partnership with Plan3 will strengthen SAS’s ability to support passengers when unexpected disruption occurs.

REYKJAVÍK, Iceland and STOCKHOLM , Oct. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) has entered into a three-year partnership with Plan3, the passenger disruption management technology company, as the airline continues to invest in the systems and capabilities that support its passengers when travel does not go to plan.

“At SAS, caring for our passengers has always been fundamental to who we are. Our partnership with Plan3 strengthens that capability and helps us continue delivering the level of care our passengers expect from SAS.” Lars Johansson, Vice President OCC & Punctuality at SAS

Airline operations are facing an increasingly complex disruption landscape. Severe weather, geopolitical instability, industrial action and pressure across the wider aviation ecosystem can rapidly affect flights and leave large numbers of passengers requiring support.

For airlines, the challenge is no longer simply responding to disruption when it happens, but building the operational resilience to respond quickly and consistently at scale.

For SAS, the partnership represents a further investment in that preparedness.

With an 80-year history connecting Scandinavia with the world, SAS has built its reputation as a full-service carrier around operational excellence and passenger care. The introduction of Plan3 will give SAS additional capability to manage passenger recovery during disruption, helping its teams coordinate support at scale with greater visibility and control when operations come under pressure.

Lars Johansson, Vice President OCC & Punctuality at SAS, said:

“Disruption is an unavoidable part of operating an airline, but how we prepare for it and how we support our passengers when it happens is something we can control.”

“At SAS, caring for our passengers has always been fundamental to who we are. As the operating environment becomes increasingly complex, we need to continue investing in the tools and processes that allow our teams to respond quickly and consistently. Our partnership with Plan3 strengthens that capability and helps us continue delivering the level of care our passengers expect from SAS.”

Simon Dempsey, Chief Commercial Officer at AviLabs (creators of Plan3), said:

“What stands out about SAS is that they are approaching disruption proactively. The pressures facing airline operations have changed significantly in recent years, and airlines increasingly recognise that passenger recovery needs the same investment and modernisation as other critical parts of the operation.”

“SAS has a long-standing reputation for taking care of its passengers. This partnership is about giving its operational teams another tool to protect that experience when circumstances are at their most difficult.”

Plan3 brings passenger recovery processes into a single platform, enabling airlines to manage disruption at scale and deliver appropriate solutions to affected passengers. Its technology is designed to work alongside existing airline systems, allowing carriers to introduce new recovery capabilities without replacing their core infrastructure.

Sveinn Akerlie, Founder and CEO of AviLabs (creators of Plan3), added:

“The airlines thinking furthest ahead about disruption are not trying to predict the next storm, strike or geopolitical event. They are building the capability to respond well whatever happens.”

“SAS has spent 80 years connecting Scandinavia with the world and has built an extraordinary legacy of passenger care along the way. We are incredibly proud that Plan3 will now become part of how SAS protects that experience when journeys are disrupted.”

The partnership adds SAS to Plan3’s growing network of airline partners across Europe, North America, Asia-Pacific and Latin America.

AI Data Fusion Clean Rooms Facilitate Collaboration by Merging Sensitive or Live Data, Develop and Run Models Without Privacy Risk

PALO ALTO, Calif., Oct. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Anjuna Security, a leader in confidential computing and autonomous software runtime governance, today announced that Anjuna Northstar has been recognized as the winner of the “Data Privacy Solution of the Year” award in the 10th annual CyberSecurity Breakthrough Awards program. Conducted by CyberSecurity Breakthrough, an independent market intelligence organization, the annual program recognizes the most innovative companies, products, and technologies driving progress in the global information security industry.

Anjuna Northstar is the industry’s first AI model and data fusion clean room. Built on top of Anjuna Seaglass, the company’s Universal Confidential Computing Platform, Anjuna Northstar ensures that code and data remain protected, from ingestion to processing to analysis. Designed for AI ops teams and data scientists, Anjuna Northstar lets collaboration partners share sensitive data, develop and run models, and get actionable results, all with verifiable trust and no data privacy risk. New confidential clean rooms can be created on demand, and stakeholders can collaborate using common tools such as Jupyter notebooks.

“Traditional clean rooms lack the flexibility and scalability required to meet the demands of today’s data-driven, security-first enterprises,” said Ayal Yogev, CEO of Anjuna Security. “We designed Anjuna Northstar to enable interactive data ops and AI-driven dataset fusion for secure, verifiable collaboration. This win with CyberSecurity Breakthrough validates our approach to liberate organizations from the constraints of data sharing. Anjuna Northstar empowers them to securely embrace the limitless potential of cloud and AI.”

Using Anjuna Northstar, partners can prepare datasets interactively within a secure environment. Remote attestation and data-in-use isolation enable companies to reduce risks and guarantee the highest level of privacy and security for every collaboration. By leveraging confidential computing technology, attack vectors that are hardware-based and memory-based are closed off. The product works with any cloud provider and on-premises environments.

Marking its 10-year milestone this year, the CyberSecurity Breakthrough Awards has spent a decade on a mission that hasn’t wavered: to celebrate excellence and spotlight breakthrough innovation driving the global cybersecurity industry forward. Over that decade, the program has grown to span a wide range of categories, including Cloud Security, Threat Intelligence, Risk Management, Fraud Prevention, Mobile Security, Application Security, Identity Management, and more, consistently shining a light on the solutions and organizations redefining how we safeguard the digital world.

In this landmark 10th year, the 2026 awards program received thousands of nominations from organizations in more than 20 countries around the world, representing breakthrough technologies from disruptive startups to established global enterprises. This year’s winners embody the cutting edge of cybersecurity technology, delivering next-generation protection and resilience in today’s increasingly complex threat landscape.

“Anjuna Northstar unlocks collaboration across industries. Enterprises want to realize the full value of their data through partnerships and collaboration while ensuring security is never compromised. AI models offer new ways to analyze, predict, and innovate, but also introduce a range of risk vectors that traditional tools, like legacy data clean rooms, were not designed to protect against,” said Steve Johansson, managing director, CyberSecurity Breakthrough. “Anjuna Northstar protects diverse data sources using confidential computing so that enterprises can freely share and collaborate, uncover new insights, explore growth opportunities, and achieve innovations that were previously out of reach.”

Best Adjustable Mattress (2026): Sleep Number Named a Top Choice for Personalized Adjustable Comfort by Better Business Advice

Published

on

By

NEW YORK, Oct. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Better Business Advice has recognized Sleep Number as a top choice for personalized adjustable comfort in its 2026 guide to the best adjustable mattresses. Every Sleep Number mattress allows sleepers to make the bed firmer or softer as their comfort needs change.

Best Adjustable Mattress

Sleep Number – known for adjustable mattresses that let sleepers choose how firm or soft the bed feels, with options for added cushioning, cooling, temperature control, and smart features.

A mattress may feel comfortable during a short showroom visit but different after several nights at home. Sleeping position, physical activity, soreness, room temperature, and personal preferences can all affect how a bed feels over time.

Sleep Number mattresses address this challenge with adjustable air chambers. Sleepers can add air for a firmer feel or release air for a softer feel instead of remaining limited to the firmness selected at the time of purchase.

The current Sleep Number range includes seven mattresses in the ComfortMode, ComfortNext, and Climate collections. Adjustable firmness is included across the entire range. Differences in cushioning, pressure relief, cooling, temperature control, mattress height, and connected features help consumers choose the model that fits their needs.

Personalized Firmness Levels

Every Sleep Number mattress allows sleepers to adjust how firm or soft the bed feels. The firmness can be changed without adding a mattress topper, rearranging foam layers, or replacing the mattress.

This flexibility may be helpful because comfort preferences do not always stay the same. A setting that feels comfortable for back sleeping may not provide the same comfort after switching to side sleeping. Exercise, temporary soreness, pregnancy, injury, and weight changes may also affect how much cushioning or support feels right.

Sleep Number recommends making small adjustments and sleeping at a new setting for several nights before changing it again. This gives the body time to settle into the new firmness level.

Compatible mattresses also offer Responsive Air technology. The feature notices changes caused by movement, sleeping position, and temperature, then makes small adjustments to help maintain the selected firmness during the night. Sleepers can still make their own changes whenever they want the bed to feel noticeably firmer or softer.

The method used to control the mattress depends on the collection. ComfortMode mattresses use a compatible remote and do not require Wi-Fi or an app. Compatible ComfortNext and Climate mattresses can be controlled through the Sleep Number app. Remote availability depends on the selected mattress and setup.

Each Person Can Adjust Their Side of the Bed

Couples often prefer different levels of firmness. One person may want a softer surface, while the other may feel more comfortable with firmer support.

Queen-size and larger Sleep Number mattresses can give each person a separate firmness setting. Each sleeper can adjust their side of the bed without changing how the other side feels.

This can be useful when sleeping positions or comfort preferences differ. A side sleeper may prefer more cushioning around the shoulders and hips. A back or stomach sleeper may want a firmer surface. With separate settings, neither person has to settle for one firmness level across the entire mattress.

The separate air chambers may also reduce how much movement is felt across the bed when one person turns over or gets up. The amount of movement felt will still depend on the sleeper, mattress, and base, so the feature does not guarantee complete motion isolation.

Separate settings can remain useful even when both sleepers initially choose similar firmness levels. Temporary soreness, a change in physical activity, or a new sleeping position may cause one person to want a different feel later. Each side can be adjusted whenever those needs change.

Seven Mattresses Across Three Collections

The current Sleep Number portfolio includes seven models divided among the ComfortMode, ComfortNext, and Climate collections. Every model offers adjustable firmness, but the amount of cushioning, cooling, pressure relief, and temperature control varies.

ComfortMode includes 10-inch and 11-inch mattresses. Both combine adjustable firmness with supportive foam and built-in cooling materials. They use remote controls, making them suitable for consumers who want a more straightforward way to adjust the mattress without depending on an app.

ComfortNext includes 12-inch, 13-inch, and 14-inch mattresses. As the mattresses become taller, they provide more cushioning, pressure relief, cooling material, and airflow. Select ComfortNext models combine adjustable air support with foam and small coils to create a more cushioned, traditional mattress feel.

The Climate collection focuses on temperature control. ClimateCool can actively cool each side of the bed while also providing adjustable firmness and Responsive Air technology.

Climate360 can both cool and warm each side separately. This may be especially helpful for couples when one person tends to sleep hot and the other prefers a warmer bed.

Choosing an Adjustable Mattress for Long-Term Use

Choosing a Sleep Number mattress involves more than selecting a firmness level. Since every model offers adjustable firmness, consumers can compare the mattresses based on cushioning, pressure relief, cooling, temperature control, mattress height, and preferred controls.

ComfortMode mattresses may suit sleepers who want adjustable firmness with a simpler setup and a more direct, supportive feel. ComfortNext models provide deeper cushioning and more pressure relief, which may appeal to side sleepers or anyone who prefers a taller mattress.

Mattress height ranges from 10 to 14 inches across the collection. This can affect the overall height of the bed and the type of fitted sheets needed.

Temperature preferences are another consideration. Built-in cooling materials may be enough for sleepers who only become warm occasionally. ClimateCool provides active cooling for those who regularly sleep hot. Climate360 offers the widest range of temperature choices by allowing each side to be cooled or warmed separately.

The mattress also needs a firm, flat surface that can evenly support the adjustable air chambers. A traditional box spring does not provide the required support. Suitable options include a compatible Sleep Number base, an appropriate platform bed, or bed slats placed no more than two inches apart.

An adjustable mattress and an adjustable base perform different functions. The mattress changes how firm or soft the sleeping surface feels. An adjustable base changes the position of the bed by raising areas such as the head or feet. The two can be used together, but an adjustable base is not required to change the mattress firmness.

Sleep Number received recognition from Better Business Advice because adjustable firmness is available throughout the mattress range rather than being limited to one model. The right choice will depend on the amount of cushioning, pressure relief, temperature control, mattress height, and connected features each sleeper wants.
