Sleep is vital to be able to function at your best each day. Sleep is when your body has the down time to remove waste, repair tissues, move memories from short-term to long-term storage, and recharge all around. Sleep affects you both physically and mentally. The worse your sleep is and the less sleep you get, the less that you can accomplish each day, and the greater risk of something going wrong.

Lack of sleep can lead to weight gain, poor decisions and falling asleep at the wheel, among other things.
People like to think that they can shorten their time sleeping to try to get more done each day, then make up for it in the morning with a stronger cup of coffee. We all know that doesn’t work for long.
Scientists say that we should be sure to get seven to eight hours of quality sleep every night
A leading authority on sleep, Dr. William C. Dement, said that
sleep is the most important factor in determing longevity. Sleep is more important for living a long life than the food you eat, the amount of exercise you get, or any genetic tendencies that you may have acquired from your parents.
The Nikken Sleep System can help you get a good night sleep.
What is the Nikken Sleep System
Nikken can’t do anything to make sure you go to bed in time to get 8 hours of sleep before your alarm goes off. That’s up to you. But they can help you get the best quality sleep for as many hours as you allow yourself.
The official sleep system components are a mattress topper, a comforter, and a pillow. The mattress topper below you and the comforter above you create an energetic cocoon that surrounds your body while you sleep. This cocoon helps your body to relax and stay the perfect temperature so that you fall asleep quicker and stay asleep longer. The pillow provides the same benefits for your head.
The sleep system helps you sleep longer by keeping you comfortable, not by shutting down your senses.
I once talked to a lady many years ago about the Nikken sleep system. She was afraid to try it because she had once been in a trailer fire and was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to wake up in the event of another emergency. That isn’t the case here. It isn’t a sedative that dulls your senses. My cat has no trouble waking me up when he’s hungry in the morning.
In addition to the sleep system, Nikken offers a throw blanket perfect for travel or an evening on the couch. Like the larger comforters, it has the ceramic reflective fibers to help you stay that perfect temperature. But it does not have the magnets. This also makes it a reasonable alternative for anyone who cannot use magnetic items. Someone who has a pacemaker for example.
Finally, Nikken also has a magnetic sleep mask. I find it very comfortable to wear while sleeping and it very effectively blocks out the light from the streetlight outside my bedroom window.
How to Use Your Nikken Sleep System
The sleep system is very easy to use on a regular basis. The questions I get usually have to do with which way they go on your bed and how to clean them.
If you are familiar with Nikken’s older mattress toppers then you will like the current one much better. I do. This one is more like the protective mattress topper you might buy in a store when you buy a new mattress. It is thin and has a fitted skirt that goes around your mattress to hold it in place. No more loose pad barely held in place only by your fitted sheet.
I have my topper positioned so that the tags hang off at the foot of my bed toward the left side.
The comforter has tags at the foot as well, this time on the right side for mine.
The pillow is a little different. Only one side has magnets and you can adjust it’s thickness by removing the layer of foam in the middle, or even remove the other side of the pillow.
You will have to open the pillow up to see which side has magnets. There is a zipper at the top to allow you to look inside and remove layers if you want to. When you look inside you will find 3 separate pieces. One side has the green tipped nodules but no magnets. The other side has some dark, hard spots. These are the magnets. Then there is the thinner layer in between. Sleep on whichever side you prefer and adjust the thickness as you see fit by removing the pieces you aren’t using until it feels right for you.
Cleaning
The simple rule for cleaning these items is that you should only spot clean anything that you cannot separate from the magnets. All magnets contain iron (that’s what makes them magnets) and iron rusts, faster when wet. You can machine wash anything without magnets, or that you can separate from the magnets (the pillow cover), on a gentle cycle and let air dry either indoors or somewhere out of direct sunlight.

My camper was stolen and my Nicon mattress was on top of my bed that I slept on. I am looking to replace it and I’m wondering if you still sell knee can mattresses?
Hi Judith. Sorry to hear about that. Nikken still has toppers, yes. And better, they are much less expensive, easier to deal with and I think it is more effective. Find the magnetic toppers here.
My husband has suffered from back pain and low back muscular contraction. A lot of people recommended the Nikken Mattress, we bought the whole set (mattress and comforter). We have been using them for 2 months now and he has not been able to sleep a complete night. His back aches so much more! We consulted with the person who sold it to us and she told us that we should change sides, but that has not worked either. Do you have any recommendation?
Thanks
Hi Yanela. Some people are very sensitive to magnets, and your husband may be more sensitive just because of the discomfort he is feeling. First I would take the pad off the bed and try sleeping with just the comforter. That will allow him to get accustomed to the magnets and see if he can sleep through the night. If that doesn’t work, then try the comforter only from the waist down. If/when he can handle the magnets in just the comforter, then try the pad again. That magnets in the pad are very strong so you may want to add another pad on top of the magnetic one for a little while to increase his distance from the magnets as he gets used to them.

How long do the magnetic mattresses last? I bought one for my mother quite a few years ago and I do not recall how long they are manufactured to last. We were wondering recently and saw your website so I thought I would check.
Thank you!
Hi Suzanne. Nikken uses permanent magnets so they will keep their charge for many years. The materials (cloth, foam and stitching) will give out first, so as long as they hold together I would keep using it.
I have borrowed a Nikken magnetic mattress Is there a correct side or top/bottom to receive the b est benefits from laying/sleeping on it Is there a time limit daily I am in bed a lot and really want the most from it Thank you
Hi Maureen. You lay on the bumpy side and no, there isn’t any limit to the amount of time that you can lay on it.
I am looking for an electo magnetic system for back pain.
do you have any such thing available or know where i can get such.
Hi Annette. I’m guessing that you saw that magnetic therapy episode of Dr. Oz earlier this week. Short answer: no, Nikken doesn’t offer any electromagnetic devices.
Long answer: I would want to know a lot more about the devices before I spent that much money because it is my understanding that the electrical component of electromagnetic fields can be harmful over extended periods of time. Nikken’s products produce pure magnetic fields without any electrical radiation, can be used continuously, and don’t cost anywhere near as much.
If you would like to try some of Nikken’s magnets I would be happy to send you some samples. If you are going to feel any effect, it won’t take 3 weeks like they said on that show.
Just to be clear, I am not a doctor and do not make any medical claims. Nikken’s products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. My recommendation is that you thoroughly investigate any product before you part with your money.
