Three components are often integrated into specialized wellness products for a layered comfort experience, sometimes referred to as the cocoon effect. Tourmaline, ceramic reflective fibers and magnets are combined to create a sense of warmth, comfort and relaxation.
Tourmaline is known for its unique ionic and infrared-related properties. When warmed by body heat, tourmaline may emit gentle warmth and negative ions that contribute to a calming, relaxing environment. Ceramic reflective fibers (sometimes called bio-ceramics) are designed to manage thermal energy and are often integrated into textiles. These fibers can reflect ambient energy or body heat as soothing infrared warmth, helping to create a comfortable and cozy feel.
Magnets are incorporated into some wellness products as part of designs intended to support relaxation and everyday comfort. Together, these elements contribute to a soothing experience that many people associate with rest and relaxation.
The Kenko PowerSleep Mask is an example of a Nikken product that combines patented DynaFlux® magnetic technology with ceramic-reflective and tourmaline fibers. The PowerSleep Mask is designed to support a comfortable sleep environment while helping maintain a pleasant temperature around the face and head, which are usually uncovered throughout the night.
The KenkoSeat® II utilizes a combination of 30 ferrite magnets, 18 tourmaline disks, and ceramic-reflective fibers to create a gentle warming and cushioning experience that can make staying seated for long periods of time feel more comfortable and relaxing.
The cocoon effect is designed to help create an environment that supports relaxation, rest and renewal. To enjoy the full Kenko Sleep System experience, create your nature-inspired sleep environment with the Makura Sleep Packs and the Kenko PetPad for your beloved four-legged friends.
