SAMINA brings nature back: Sleep in its most natural form. Like the human body, the SAMINA healthy sleep concept is built of layers that harmonically coordinate with the body. Thanks to its layered components including the freely suspended slat frame, natural rubber mattress, Lokosana® grounding pad, organic wool mattress topper, duvets and pillows all made from natural materials, the essential conditions are present to fall asleep relaxed, stay asleep and awake refreshed. The SAMINA sheep’s wool mattress topper forms the uppermost layer of the SAMINA sleeping system. It is filled with 100% organic sheep's wool which, in addition to a high rate of moisture absorption, also has an ideal self-cleaning capability. Thus, the moisture which is often the most important sustenance for allergy-causing dust mites is eliminated. The dry heat allows for a good night's sleep and also has anti-rheumatic benefits lessening the occurrence of a stiff back or neck. The shell of the virgin sheep’s wool mattress topper comes in options made from either Organic Cotton, Organic Wool or Bio-ceramic®.
As human beings, we are bioelectrical organisms living on an electrical planet. The basic idea of the Lokosana® grounding pad is to improve the quality of sleep through grounding (also known as “earthing”) and the desired stabilization of natural magnetic fields. Grounding the body at night restores it to its normal electrical state so it’s more able to compensate for unwanted electric field influences. Scientific studies have shown that when we ground ourselves, free electrons in our body flow more freely. Thus, the body can use the electromagnetic quality of the earth for a better and deeper sleep. Sleeping grounded improves circulation and lessens pain so you awake feeling better and with more energy. Most people feel comfortable in the great outdoors especially when they are barefoot and that’s because they have direct contact with the earth – they are physically grounded. The Lokosana® grounding pad is a revolutionary way for you to have healthy, restful sleep and so you can have the "barefoot in nature effect” through the night.
The SAMINA natural rubber mattress efficiently transfers the action and properties of the flexible slat frame. It is characterized by particularly superior elasticity and exceptionally good resilience to assure a high level of comfort while sleeping. SAMINA mattresses are made from 100% natural rubber. Thanks to its porous cellular structure, the SAMINA natural rubber mattress ensures optimal moisture regulation, too. This low-maintenance, light weight, and durable mattress is an integral component of the SAMINA healthy sleep system. To ensure an optimal recovery of the back, the spine and the muscles, the ideal sleeping base should support the body just as if it was standing up. The SAMINA healthy sleep concept fulfills this criterion perfectly thanks to the patented construction of the double-sided, free-floating SAMINA slat frame. The slat frame supports and relieves the body and thus ensures a constant pressure between the sleeper and the base. Thus during sleep, one has a long term traction of the spine, the intervertebral discs have more space and can regenerate properly, and the muscles are able to let go in all sleeping positions and relax.
Pressure marks, muscle hardening and circulatory disturbances can be avoided. The SAMINA slat frame interacts with the sleeper in a supportive, springy and balanced way - irrespective of body weight. SAMINA also offers a series of sophisticated accessories: the Reading Recliner enables a gentle support of the spine while seated; the Relaxation Bridge provides special spinal relaxation when laying on the stomach; special Header/Footer Wedges can adjust the height of the head and foot area by almost 2 inches. NOTE: These optional accessories and other adjustments are best determined in consultation with a SAMINA adviser.We are very honoured to be featured on Good To Go, February 2015 / March 2015 Issue! Good To Go is SPRING’s bi-monthly publication on Quality & Excellence. Aside from providing protection from allergens and irritants such as dust mites, bacteria and bodily excretions, a Protect-A-Bed® mattress protector also offers superior comfort. Our mattress protectors are thin, fitted-sheet
styles with super-stretch material, for a snug fit on any depth of mattress. Unlike typical mattress pads, Protect-A-Bed mattress covers are completely waterproof on the top surface, but will not change the feel of your mattress. Protect-A-Bed® mattress protectors do not feel like plastic, and are never hot to sleep on. They are completely air vapor porous, allowing your body heat to pass through the surface, and keeping you cool and comfortable all night long. Check out the Protect-a-Bed collection here.There is one telltale sign that the existing heater is not working since the bed is simply not staying warm. Now before you run out and buy a new heater, there is some common sense troubleshooting that should be done first. Make sure that that the heater is plugged in. The cord could have been jostled while cleaning or otherwise pulled loose. If the heater cord is firmly plugged in, it is good idea to test the outlet.An easy way to test whether the outlet has power is to plug a lamp or other device into the outlet.
If the device works, the outlet is obviously not the problem. If the outlet does not have power, the circuit breaker may have tripped off or the fuse is blown. You can check this yourself or have it checked by a qualified electrician. Either way, these steps take far less effort than replacing the heater.If the outlet is functioning, chances are the heater has failed and you will need to purchase a new one. The basic design of heaters has not changed much over the years. The same can be said for how the heater is installed. Waterbed heating system components included the heater pad, temperature sensor, thermostatic control unit, power cord and control cable.There are many good quality heaters available, either at your local waterbed supplier or online. Never buy a used heating system for your waterbed and make sure the heater you buy is in the factory packaging. Since you will need to drain and refill the mattress, remember to buy a sufficient quantity of conditioning chemical.Regardless of where you purchase the heater, never buy a waterbed heater that has not been approved by a recognized testing organization.
Two highly respected organizations are Underwriters Laboratories and the Canadian Standards Association. Products approved by these organizations are prominently labeled with the testing organizations logo.Replacing the heater involves several steps, starting with unplugging the old heater. Next, you will need to drain the water from the mattress. I find it much easier and faster to use a pump than to try to siphon the water out. Small pumps can be found at many equipment rental centers, home improvement stores or a local waterbed retailer. With the mattress empty, it a good time to thoroughly clean it. Give the mattress a good flushing and wipe down the outside with mild soap and water. Thoroughly inspect the mattress for signs of wear, especially areas where the vinyl is becoming brittle or stiff. This condition may be particularly evident where the heating element was placed. If the vinyl is stiff or brittle, you will need to buy a replacement mattress.Next, clean the safety liner, again using mild soap and water.
Pay special attention to the area where the liner contacts the heater pad. Replace the liner if the vinyl has become stiff or brittle. Remove the old heater components and dispose of them properly. With the mattress and liner removed, it is also a good idea to inspect the frame structure.Remove the heater components from the packaging, look for the UL or CSA logo and inspect the components for any obvious damage. Find the manufacturers instruction guide and read it thoroughly. Take the heating pad and place it in the center of the deck, making sure it is at least twelve inches from the frame rails. The temperature sensor should be placed at least six inches from the heater pad.Route the power and control around the outer edge of the frame rails and towards the head of the bed and through the bottom of the decking. Do not plug in the heater yet. Replace the liner making sure there are no wrinkles over the heating pad. Replace the mattress again removing any wrinkles on the bottom, especially over the heating pad.
