Why You Need a Nikken Magnetic Comforter

Comfort is the most important key to getting a good night sleep, at least as far as your bedding goes. We are talking here about “comforters” after all. They should help keep you comfortable all night long.
You have blankets on your bed to help keep you warm, but hopefully not too warm. That’s one of the things that the Nikken comforters do very well. They are designed to keep you just the right temperature while you sleep.
Nikken’s magnetic comforter takes it another step further. They help your body to relax so that you get to sleep faster and get more out of your sleep.
If you already have the Naturest Fit magnetic mattress topper, the Dream or Dream Light magnetic comforter completes the magnetic cocoon to help maximize the effects for a good night’s sleep.
If you don’t have a magnetic topper yet, the Dream and Dream Light comforters are a slightly less expensive way to get started building your Nikken sleep system. They are also more portable, if you travel a lot and want to take the benefits with you.
What Are the Kenko Dream and Dream Light Comforters?
The Nikken magnetic comforter is much like a regular comforter, except for the specialized fibers and embedded magnets. They offer it in two weights. The Kenko Dream comforter is thicker and heavier while the Dream Light comforter is thinner and lighter. I live in Georgia where the summers are warm, so I use the Dream Light comforter.
The comforters contain a grid of 800 gauss magnets that help your body to relax and de-stress. The more relaxed you are, the quicker you can fall asleep and sleep through the night. Because the comforter contains magnets, you should not use it if you have an embedded medical device, such as a pacemaker.
They also contain ceramic-reflective fibers that help you stay at exactly the right temperature for sleep. These fibers absorb energy, such as ambient light or excess body heat, and reflect it back to you to keep you comfortable. Excess heat escapes through the breathable cotton cover.
Finally, the Nikken magnetic comforter contains a material that emits negative ions when it gets warm. As Nikken puts it in their documentation, the negative ions “create a soothing, tranquil atmosphere like that found in nature.”
Kenko Naturest Cozy Throw

The Cozy Throw is a smaller, travel-sized comforter more convenient for using on the couch or when traveling by car or plane. The biggest difference, other than size, is that it does NOT contain magnets. So it can be used by people with pacemakers or other magnetically-sensitive medical devices. It has the same ceramic-reflective fibers to keep you a comfortable temperature.
It is 110 cm by 170 cm when spread out. Then it folds up and zips into a 47 cm by 48 cm by 16.5 cm cushion or pillow when you want to pack it up. So it isn’t just a travel comforter. It can be a travel pillow instead.
I still have two of the previous travel comforters that my family uses all the time. When they finally wear out I will replace them with the Cozy Throw.
How to Use and Maintain Your Nikken Comforter
The Dream and Dream Light magnetic comforters are very white. That is the only real downside to them. You can cover it in a duvet to help keep it clean, but that can affect the breathability, making it warmer. I have three cats who like to sleep on my bed through the day, so I cover my comforter with a sheet. Then I can uncover part of the comforter if I want to during the night, depending on the temperature.
Because of the magnets inside the comforters, they are dry clean only. Iron is what gives a magnet it’s ability to move energy, and iron rusts faster when it gets wet. That will reduce the effectiveness of the magnets and nobody wants orange rust stains on their bright white comforter.
The Cozy Throw is also light colored, but not white. It is also designed to be f0lded up and put away when you aren’t using it. And since it doesn’t have magnets, it can be machine washed in cold water on the delicate cycle and air dried. The heat from a dryer may damage the fibers.
How to Get Your Own Nikken Comforter
The Kenko Dream and Dream Light magnetic comforters are available in twin, queen, and king sizes. If you have a full-sized mattress then you will want the queen comforter. As I said earlier, the Dream is a heavier comforter and the Dream Light is, well, light.
They are available separately or as part of a pack that includes a Naturest Fit magnetic mattress pad, and pillows. The pack saves you 10% off the cost of buying each component separately.
The Cozy Throw comes in one size and is not currently part of any pack.

I got the King-sized comforter as a wedding gift. Best consistent sleep I get is when I use this comforter. Please consider making these comforters in darker colors. It’s a pain to keep dry cleaning every time there is a small stain. I love this comforter, and I would get another if came in black or dark gray.
Hi Art. I agree with you. I don’t know why Nikken decided that white was the best color choice. I have 3 cats so I have no thoughts of keeping mine clean. The best I can do is keep it covered with a light sheet.
I live in humid conditions. Can the white comforter be briefly put in the dryer to help remove the damp?
Thank you
Hi Jean. I don’t see any problem with that. Maybe just use low heat. You just don’t want to wash it because iron rusts and the iron content is what makes magnets magnetic.
I have a dream mattress pad with magnets from Nikken. I put it on a king bed in between the mattress and box springs. Does that negate the purposes of it? Or should I put in on top and then put a mattress cover pad over top of that?
Thankyou.
Hi Pamela. Your magnetic mattress pad should go on top of your mattress. The strength of the field decreases significantly with distance from the magnets. So with your mattress between you and your pad you probably aren’t getting much if any benefit from the magnets.
Would you please consider re-issuing the travel quilt? (Zips on 3 sides)
Mine is 25 yrs old & I have used it nightly since purchase, faithfully protecting it from washing machine & dry cleaner. However, its temp control feature has petered out over past yr & I need a new one!! I’m waking in a sweat in the mornings.
‘Am afraid to purchase from ebay, especially if seller has washed or dry cleaned it. I would buy the comforter, but it would be awfully hard to travel with.
Any advice??
Hi Sharon. The KenkoTherm Cocoon might be a good option for you. It has the same thing you are used to in your travel quilt plus the magnets from the mattress topper (I don’t think the quilt had magnets).
Can the comforter be put inside a duvet to keep it clean?
Yes, the duvet cover will not change any of the comforter’s magnetic properties but it will lose some of it’s temperature regulating ability because of the extra layers of fabric. It just won’t breathe as well.
Hi, I’m trying to purchase the travel comforter but it seems it’s discontinued. I got the KenkoTherm Cocoon but I think it will be too hot in the Summer. I get hot at night. So what is suggested for summer nights? Do not want to purchase anything expensive. Can I buy the travel comforter from another source?
Hi Beth. I had no idea that the travel comforter was discontinued, but it does appear to be gone. And I understand your concern about the Cocoon being too warm. That and the light comforters are the only options from Nikken right now. You can always try Ebay to see if anyone is selling the travel comforter on there.
Hi there. I have a kenko heavy comforter and the magnets have come unattached and are stuck together in each pocket. Can I somehow sew them back in place? Do I need to worry about them facing a certain position?
The magnets are in two pieces. The magnet itself is rounded and faces down toward you. The other piece is a flat disk with a post that goes through a cloth layer then snaps into the back of the magnet. You might be able to snap them back in place.
I have a travel quilt (zips together on 3 sides) that has been packed away for years, I think i purchased it in the mid-late 80’s. I now have a pacemaker and am wondering if it has magnets in it?
Hi Betty. There have been different versions of the travel quilt over the years, some with magnets and some without. The current blue one does not. I found an old green one that does. If it still has the tag attached, the one that says “Under Penalty of Law this tag is not to be removed…,” it should list the materials inside including any magnets.
Why Dry Clean only for Nikken Comforter? This introduces toxic chemicals.
Hi Irene. The comforter is dry clean only because of the magnets. They could rust after repeated washing in water. I agree with you about the toxic chemicals. We do our best not to come into physical contact with our comforter 1) to reduce it’s chances of getting dirty so that I don’t have to get it cleaned very often and 2) so that I don’t have to worry about any chemicals that it may have picked up from cleaning. We pull the sheet up a couple inches and fold it down over the top edge of the comforter to protect it (and us).
I accidentally washed my Nikken comforter in the washing machine – is it ruined? Have all of the beneficial magnetic qualities been destroyed?
Your comforter should be fine. Get it hung up so that it can air dry thoroughly and try not to do that very often. People have washed them without any damage but it is not recommended. I think we have washed our comforter once before too.
I own a Nikken comforter. How do I care for it? Washing machine or dry clean?
Thanks.
Hi Marilyn. If you have the blue travel comforter then you can machine wash it. All of the other comforters that Nikken has offered are dry-clean only.
what can i use for back to feei better.i do have a magboy. had it for years just found in when i moved do they work ??. thank you john.
Hi John. The Magboy can work very well for you if you have someone who can roll it on your back. The challenge is that you need help and you have limited exposure. The best solution is the Naturest mattress pad, which is also the most expensive option. The options that I usually recommend are either the PowerMinis or the new PowerChips.
