Mattress Collaboration Aims for Enhanced Lifespan: Biohacker Teams Up with Essentia and Oura to Launch Prolonged Life Mattress System
Freshening Up Nights with Dave Asprey's EMF-Shielding Mattress
Get ready to Zen out and catch some Zs like a boss! Biohacker Dave Asprey teams up with sleep giants, Essentia and Oura Ring, to craft a mattress that not only helps you snooze better but extends life-span.
Asprey's all about living for 180 years, and he's optimized his sleep routine to achieve that dream. He swears by Essentia, calling it the best mattress for his health quest. Together, they're breathing new life into the Classic REM5 Active and Dormeuse REM9 Active mattresses, fortified with EMF protection foam and a cover infused with graphene for superior thermal regulation and coziness.
The goal? Deeper, more REM-filled slumber—an essential element in any longevity goal. They're putting this to the test in a 22-week-long nocturnal nose dive.
Embrace the New Essentia Slumber System
Asprey and Essentia have given their mattresses a nifty upgrade. Say hello to the revamped Classic REM5 Active and Dormeuse REM9 Active at Essentia.
The newbies will come armored with EMF protection foam, shielding you from the naughty effects of EMF radiation. Some studies suggest contact with EMF radiation could increase your risk of Leukemia, cancer, brain tumors, and other health woes[1][2][3].
Like some of the finest organic mattresses we've tried, the upgraded models will boast natural latex. Essentia proved that their Beyond Latex Organic Foam, star of the show in the new mattresses, can boost time spent in REM and deep sleep by up to 60%, for stellar rest and recovery[4].
The organic cotton cover, infused with graphene, acts as a tough cookie against allergens, bacteria, and fungi. Graphene's high conductivity also contributes to enhanced thermal regulation. This superhero material can whisk heat away, giving you a cooling reprieve if you're a hot sleeper.
The Sleep Study
Asprey, Essentia, and Oura Ring are diving deep into the world of sleep to see how the Dave Asprey Upgrade affects your nighttime snoozes.
Participants will monitor their rest patterns with an Oura Ring 4 before and after settling down on a fancy new Essentia mattress. Sounds dreamy, huh? You can join the fun, but be prepared to fork over $5,000. For your investment, you'll get the Dave Asprey Upgrade on your choice of the Classic REM5 or Dormeuse REM9, an Oura Ring (valued up to $499), and a one-year subscription to the Oura App ($69.99).
The 22-week study will run in two phases: a 12-week baseline data collection period where participants continue snoozing on their current mattress while logging their sleep data with Oura, followed by a 10-week phase where you'll switch to your new Essentia mattress and keep the data logging and sharing with Essentia up.
Metrics they'll track include sleep duration, sleep stage duration, heart rate variability, body temperature, and wake periods. The team will sift through that data to investigate sleep quality outcomes and see how EMF-shielding mattresses can enhance your sweet dreams and longevity plans.
