Bed Occupancy Sensor? (lemmy.ml)

Anyone try to build a bed occupancy sensor integrated with Home Assistant? I've looked into load sensors but all of them seem to have pretty small weight limits (low enough to where I don't think it would even support the empty bed).

What devices/sensors have you used for this? And what does your setup look like?

I also used a mmWave sensor in the past for this, one from a youtuber. Worked well enough for my case, but it had some interruptions during the night.
