New Discoveries
The Mattress & Sleep System I Chose for My New Biohacked Home (Sleep Scores Between 93 and 100 Every Night So Far)! 💤🌙
If you’re anything like me, you care about sleep. I mean, really care. I'm talking about that deep, restorative sleep where your mind resets and you wake up energized and ready to crush your day.
While many factors contribute to great sleep, like your nighttime routine and light exposure, your mattress plays a massive role in how well you sleep. That’s why, when we built our new home in Idaho—a biohacked wellness sanctuary designed to rival any “blue zone”—I knew I couldn’t settle for just any old mattress.
So, which sleep system did we choose for our home?
It is—(drumroll please)—the SAMINA Sleep System: a multi-layered sleep experience engineered to support your body, calm your nervous system, and keep your sleep environment as natural as a forest at dawn.
Here's how the system works, layer by layer:
1. The Adaptive Slat Frame
Forget rigid box springs. SAMINA’s base layer is your spine's new best friend. It's a flexible, natural wooden slat frame that moves with your body, not against it to help:
✔️ Support optimal spinal alignment while you sleep
✔️ Reduce pressure points, so you wake up without those nagging aches and pains
✔️ Give you a springy, buoyant feel, like floating on a supportive cloud
2. The Natural Rubber Mattress
This layer is crafted from sustainably harvested natural rubber (latex) and contours to your body while keeping you stable and supported. It's:
✔️ Hypoallergenic, breathable, and completely free of harmful chemicals
✔️ Naturally resistant to dust mites and mold—ideal for sensitive sleepers
✔️ Provides just the right firmness to cradle your joints without sinking
3. The Virgin Sheep’s Wool Topper
Think of this layer as Mother Nature’s ultimate climate control system. Wool boasts incredible superpowers, acting as a natural, temperature-regulating, and moisture-wicking marvel. It keeps you cool during summer's heat and cozy through winter's chill. Beyond that, wool is also:
✔️ Naturally dust-mite resistant, making it perfect for allergy sufferers
✔️ Absorbant of moisture without feeling damp, keeping your sleep environment dry and comfortable
4. The Lokosana® Grounding Pad (Optional, but Amazing)
Here’s where things get really interesting…
The Lokosana grounding pad connects your body to the Earth’s natural electrical field, a practice known as “earthing” (aka grounding), which I've spoken about many times in the past (such as here, here, here and here).
So, why use an earthing pad?
✔️ It may help lower nighttime cortisol levels, calming your nervous system.
✔️ It promotes faster recovery by reducing electromagnetic stress in your environment.
✔️ It supports deeper, more restorative sleep cycles.
SAMINA is the ultimate eco-friendly, health-conscious choice. Every material in the SAMINA Sleep System is 100% natural, including:
- Sustainably sourced, solid wood for the slat frame, without any metals or chemicals
- Non-toxic, latex-free from off-gassing chemicals
- Organic wool and cotton are treated with zero synthetic chemicals
Studies confirm that exposure to environmental toxins can disturb your sleep and health, however natural materials can:
- Regulate body temperature for deeper sleep
- Lower resting heart rate, improving sleep efficiency
- Minimize exposure to harmful fumes, allergens, and toxins that can linger in your bedroom and disrupt your circadian rhythm
The SAMINA Sleep System has earned its reputation as the “bed of your dreams” for good reason. It's doctor-recommended and loved by elite athletes, wellness experts, and anyone who values top-tier recovery.
If you’re done waking up feeling stiff, groggy, or restless and ready to invest in a sleep system that supports your health as much as your comfort—the SAMINA Sleep System is your answer.

Kion Product of the Week: Kion Medium Roast Coffee
Many of us cherish our morning coffee ritual, but sometimes coffee doesn’t reciprocate the love. It’s not uncommon to experience jitters, headaches, or sinus issues after a cup.
But fear not—it’s not you, it’s your coffee. Over 97% of the world’s coffee falls into the “commercial coffee” category—mass-produced, sprayed with pesticides, and often prone to mold growth. These factors can lead to health concerns and a less-than-satisfactory brew.
You can elevate your daily grind with the pure pleasure of Kion Medium Roast Coffee. Whether you prefer whole bean or ground, this coffee sets the bar high for both health and taste.
Certified organic and rigorously tested for toxins, Kion Coffee is ethically sourced to ensure every sip is a moment of pure delight. It's fresh, bold, and impressively smooth—and it not only tastes exceptional but also makes you feel amazing.
Every batch of Kion Coffee features 100% organic Arabica beans sourced from sustainable, fair-trade cooperatives. It is meticulously tested for mold, mycotoxins, and pesticides to ensure unparalleled quality and purity, and the medium roast boasts a balanced, clean flavor with a smooth, rich body. From sweet apple and marzipan to baking spices and dark chocolate, each sip reveals layers of scrumptious complexity.
