Sleep relaxed. Get the most of life.

Why sleep 8 hours when 7 hours 40 minutes is sufficient?

People today are increasingly concerned with their quality of living. That quality is closely linked to quality sleep. A more relaxed, intense sleep enables us to get more out of life – making our day both longer and more intense.

Intense is the name of our new mattress ticking, developed to enhance sleep naturally. Intense works on a simple physical principle. In the course of the day, the human body accumulates static electricity. Reducing this static charge automatically leads to a more restful, refreshing sleep. In other words, lower the static charge and sleep quality goes up.

This phenomenon has been demonstrated by a number of scientific tests. In one experiment, subjects who had slept on an Intense mattress were not only better rested, but needed less sleep – 20 to 21 minutes less! Can you imagine staying on form an extra 20 minutes a day?

The human body - constantly under tension.

The human body is one big electric field, continually recharging its electrons through contacting or rubbing against other materials. Discharge comes into play when one element moves away from the other. The discharge is usually earthed straight away, but can also occur through ionisation – discharge through the air.

Just think of the crackling and sparks that appear when you slip off your sweater in the dark. This phenomenon is called the corona. The more electrons there are, the bigger the charge, and the human body can store up to 30,000 volts! Not surprisingly, these high voltages have a negative effect on our sleep. We feel nervous, agitated – we are literally experiencing a feeling of tension. So it is important for the body to get rid of this tension and drop to the lowest possible voltage. And that is exactly how Intense works.

With Intense, the tension literally flows out of you

In the course of the night, the body is in constant contact with various materials, such as pyjamas, sheets, mattress etc. Both the body and these materials are continually recharged with static electricity – up to 30,000 volts! If we want a truly peaceful sleep, it is clear that this tension needs to be discharged and the voltage lowered - without earthing.

Intense offers a solution to this problem. The Intense mattress uses ultra-fine, multifilament carbon fibre thread. Each filament contains a conductive trilobal core, wrapped in a protective nylon envelope. The carbon filament captures the electrons in the surrounding material and releases them into the air at low voltage (from 4,000 volts). So the tension literally flows from the body, allowing for deeper – and more relaxing - sleep.

Science confirms the Intense experience

One of the world’s leading specialists in sleep research, Professor Chris Idzikowsky, took a very close look at how Intense works. He put 26 people through a series of tests, both subjective and objective. The results were remarkable. On an active mattress, the sleep becomes more efficient by 4.3% from the second night. For a normal night’s sleep, the subjects needed 21 minutes less on average – or put another way, one night per month!

What’s more, those who tried the test considered Intense to be particularly comfortable. Intense can easily be used in woven or knitted ticking. It actively repels dust (good news for asthmatics), is perfectly washable and has a long, active life. The filament structure can be neither seen nor felt. The benefits of Intense are spectacular: better quality sleep and a gain in time of more than 20 minutes per day!
