The Kenko Sleep System is scientifically designed to increase 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 construction shapes itself to body contours. This prevents the formation of pressure points that can interrupt sleep or prevent the sleeper from attaining optimal rest. The latex foundation is firm yet comfortable, and resists sagging.This support system is designed to accommodate all body types. RAM™ (radial-axis magnetism) or SpyderRAM™ Technology in the Kenko Naturest® Mattress Topper and SpyderRAM in the Kenko Naturest® Custom Pillow feature spherical magnets which produce a series of overlapping magnetic fields. This magnetic technology produces a cocoon of magnetism that envelops the sleeper.
A massage layer is directly beneath the Mattress Topper cover. This layer is a surface of nodules that impart a passive massage effect. It uses the sleeper’s own motion to create a gentle stimulation and help to ease tension. Air-flow ventilation within the various components promotes the free flow of air without creating drafts. Latex foam and fabric breathability insulate but do not trap air in hot spots. Nikken Far-Infrared Technology absorbs energy from a variety of sources — sunlight, body or room temperature — and releases it as energy in the far-infrared part of the spectrum. Energy-reactive fibers constantly receive intake energy and reflect it as gentle warmth. In warmer weather, these fibers reach a limit in the amount of energy absorbed, and the excess heat will pass through the material and escape. Ionic Comfort Technology is the name of a subsystem within Sleep System components that generates negative ions. These odorless, invisible, charged particles, identical to those found in the air in forests and near waterfalls, are emitted by fibers in the comforter and pillow and assist in imparting a sense of relaxation.
The Kenko Naturest® Custom Pillow has a special filler of shredded latex. It is designed for the user to subtract or replace filler to achieve the desired degree of firmness. The latex is especially resilient, to resist being compressed flat. A special insert provides head and neck support for proper spinal alignment. A sleep mask is available which provides light-blocking cover for eyes and includes magnetic and far-infrared components. A sleep system that offers improved support for the musculoskeletal system, improved temperature control and additional enhancements in comfort will contribute to quality sleep. This is significant because according to many medical authorities, quality sleep may be the single most important factor in maintaining long-term health. Regular sleep on a Kenko Sleep System can contribute to better mental function such as improved learning ability and decision-making faculty, improved memory, greater alertness and increased mental performance.
Quality sleep can also support physical health including resistance to/recovery from fatigue, improved immune system function, better ability to resist premature aging, increased ability to resist stress, and better-regulated hormone production that can help prevent weight gain or obesity. Nikken Adaptive Sleep Technology websiteI’ve been in the sleep business since 1970 and a retailer of mattresses and bedding since 1972. Since the Private Equity Firms (the wonderful folks that helped bring about the recent financial troubles in the U.S.) bought up all the major mattress companies (Simmons, Sealy, Stearns & Foster [owned by Sealy], Spring Air, and Serta) the industry has taken a “consumer be damned” attitude. The introduction of “can’t flip” mattresses or “no need to flip” mattresses in 2000 is an insult to consumers who can now expect three to five years out of their new mattress. That’s one third of what can be expected from two-sided mattresses. Curious About 2-Sided Mattresses?
They’re all we sell. Explore the possibilities & start sleeping better right away. CLICK HERE FOR FLIPPABLE MATTRESSES Like many industries, the mattress industry has gone through a period of cheapening products in order to save on manufacturing costs. Problem is, they market the cheapened product as a benefit to consumers — which couldn’t be further from the truth. Think about home appliances, another industry where the majority of companies are now owned by private equity firms. Depending on your age, it used to be that you would buy an appliance — a fridge, a washer/dryer, an oven — expecting it to last 20 years. If something broke, a repairman would come to your home and fix it. Now, if you get five to seven years from an appliance you’re lucky. And you can forget about repairs; parts either aren’t or won’t be available. The profits manufacturers make on selling half a mattress are too great to go back to two-sided mattresses. Companies can save 25-30% by not including the second side cushioning layer, which is the most expensive part of most mattresses.
Companies don’t pass these savings on to the consumer. As you may have noticed if you’ve done some research, some “can’t flip” mattresses sell for several thousands of dollars! They’ve just used the savings to increase their profits and then resell the company to another investment firm. Simmons, for instance, has now been sold many times over. The added benefit (to them) of selling “can’t flip” mattresses is that the consumer is back in the marketplace for a new mattress every three to five years. Their only other option is to put up with a saggy, uncomfortable bed, and the achy back and body that can result from it. Recently, on a day when we delivered 10 new mattresses, we took away three “can’t flip” mattresses. All three were from one of the best known “S” brands, all just three years old and all completely worn out. Not even homeless shelters or charities will take mattresses so saggy, so they ended up in a landfill. These were not inexpensive mattresses — they retail locally for over $2000 each!
You’d think that such dramatic wear and tear after just three years would be covered under warranty, but no. These companies consistently deny all but the most extreme breakdowns. They have PLANNED for the failure or obsolescence of their mattresses after 3-5 years. It’s how they do things now. Most manufacturers DO still make two-sided mattresses, they just don’t sell them to the consumer. They make them only for the hotel/motel industry. Owners in this industry avoid one-sided mattresses because they know that they won’t last more than a few years. Doesn’t that show the manufacturers’ true stripes? In order to be sold on our floor, mattresses need to have TWO sleeping surfaces. That, or they need to have zipper access to the inside so that components can be flipped or refreshed. It is not right to sell mattresses that wear out so quickly. A consumer should be able to expect their new mattress to last and be comfortable for at least 8 to 12 years. If they purchase a 100% botanical latex mattress model, it should last even longer.
