Do you know the difference between deep rest and restful sleep? Deep rest helps guide your brain and body into a deep state of relaxation without actually falling asleep. It can be accomplished through practices such as meditation, yoga nidra or breathwork. You can be conscious or semi-conscious.1 Restful sleep, on the other hand, puts you into a state of complete unconsciousness.
Deep rest can be a useful stepping stone to restful sleep. When practiced during the day, it can help you to feel refreshed and alert. When practiced at bedtime or during wakeful hours throughout the night, it can help you relax and make it easier to return to sleep.2
Obtaining restful sleep is a powerful way to transform your lifestyle. There is a big difference between waking up feeling refreshed and waking up feeling groggy. That’s why creating an environment that is conducive to restful sleep is so important.
Nikken is a pioneer in sleep technology and over the years, has developed the Kenko Sleep System. This Sleep System is composed of a mattress topper called the Kenko Nautrest® Fit, a layered pillow called the Makura and either a Kenko Dream® Comforter or a Dream Light Comforter. Even one of these components may help enhance your sleep environment, but when used together, can help create a sleep sanctuary.
The Kenko Naturest® Fit is made to fit on top of your mattress and under a sheet. It has a sculptured Rubberthane surface which provides texture with cushioning, producing a relaxing massage effect. Ceramic reflective fibers absorb and reflect natural energy to help regulate temperatures and keep you sleeping comfortably throughout the night. A grid of 800-gauss magnets surrounds you, adding another element to your relaxing sleep environment. Since the Fit is portable, you can move it easily from bed to bed, as long as you have the right size—Twin, Full, Queen or King.
Makura actually means pillow in Japanese. The Kenko Naturest® Makura is a layered pillow, designed ergonomically and convertible into two pillows. One side provides firm support while the other side gives you the option of softer cushioning. The three-part modular structure combines magnets with tourmaline and Rubberthane nodules for a gentle and relaxing sleep experience and it’s adjustable to six heights.
Another pillow option is the Kenko Naturest® MII, a cousin to the Makura. Adjustable to two heights, the MII is shaped like a traditional rectangular pillow but also ergonomically designed to accommodate those who change sleep positions through the night. Sleepers who prefer medium to semi-soft plush feel with contouring for head and neck will prefer the MII.
No sleep system would be complete without a warm comforter. The comforter adequately describes what the cover should do. The Kenko Dream Comforter and its lighter counterpart, the Kenko Dream Light Comforter will not disappoint! 800-gauss magnets add another element to your relaxation experience, while ceramic reflective fibers help maintain comfortable temperatures all year round. Negative Ion technology helps create a tranquil atmosphere, mimicking what is found in nature. The 100% cotton cover has chitocotton fibers to help the comforter maintain a fresh scent.
Kenko Sleep Technology makes it easy to create your sleep sanctuary, so you can wake up feeling good every day!
