Adequate sleep is essential for a person’s health and wellbeing. Yet according to the National Sleep Foundation, over 70 million Americans are affected by a sleep-related problem and for over half of them – 40 million – their sleep problems are frequent or chronic.
Quality sleep helps us to remember and process information better. It’s the time when our bodies repair cellular damage caused by uv rays, exposure to environmental toxins and other daily stresses and rejuvenates itself.
Lack of sleep impacts all areas of our lives – jobs, relationships, productivity and safety as well as our physical and mental health.
Inadequate Sleep Causes a Multitude of Health Concerns
Untreated sleep disorders have been linked to hypertension, heart disease, stroke, depression, diabetes and other chronic illnesses. In addition, studies show a higher incidence of breast and colon cancer in people who lack adequate sleep.
Chances are you or someone you know spends too many nights with too little sleep and too many days with too little energy and too much stress – all because they didn’t sleep well. So the question is what can you do? It could be as simple as getting a new mattress.
Introducing Nikken’s Kenko Sleep System
The Kenko Sleep System is scientifically designed to in-crease relaxation and support a variety of physical and mental functions for restful and restorative sleep.
The Sleep System combines a Nikken Kenko Naturest® Mattress Topper with a Kenko™ Comforter and Kenko Naturest® Custom Pillow. Each component contains advanced technology designed to improve sleep quality.
The Kenko Naturest Mattress Topper features a design that has no springs. Its latex foundation – a natural and renewable resource resistant to microbial growth and dust mites – shapes itself to body contours, eliminating pressure points that can interrupt sleep.
The topper is finished in all natural fibers to promote natural regulation of temperature and mildew resistance. A massage layer, directly beneath the Mattress Topper cover, imparts a passive massage using the sleeper’s own motion to create gentle stimulation and to help ease tension. New RAM™ (radial-axis magnetism) Technology produces a magnetic cocoonlike field that envelops you while you sleep.
The Kenko Dream Comforter is more than an ordinary blanket. Exclusive Nikken Far-Infrared Technology allows fibers in the comforter to absorb energy produced by ambient heat, sunlight or your body. These fibers reflect that energy as gentle heat in cooler weather and have a cooling effect when it’s warm. A magnetic layer complements the magnets in the Nikken mattress to complete the cocoon effect.
Kenko Naturest Custom Pillows also feature RAM Technology, with the magnetic layer embedded deep within the pillow body; latex filler and an internal support collar for head and neck alignment.
You only have so many hours to spend in sleep. If you’re not getting the most from that time, you’ll feel it.
No one can make the pressures of daily life go away, but you can improve your body’s ability to deal with them. Gain increased energy, feel more relaxed, and enjoy a heightened sense of well-being. The answer may be as simple as replacing what you sleep on. Kenko Naturest, from Nikken. It’s the natural choice.
