DETROIT (PRWEB)
February 15, 2022
Majestic Beds, a Detroit-based mattress company, recently conducted a sleep anecdotal evidence study in partnership with the US military to test the effects of their uniquely patented Majestic Fusion Topper and Majestic Pillow. The company designs sleep systems that provide the proper support and comfort needed to achieve a quality night’s rest and help reduce pain sensitivity levels associated with medical symptoms and physical disabilities.
Sleep deprivation and fatigue adversely impact performance but are too often a factor in military accidents. With more awareness around the importance of quality sleep, military branches are exploring how the right sleep surface can significantly improve military readiness, including recovery and performance. In a military-mandated study, overseen by premier Sports Performance Manager and Career Extension Specialist Mackie Shilstone, Majestic Beds was requested to provide six Fusion Mattress Toppers and Majestic Pillows, comparing if they would have a favorable impact over other sleep systems.
“Over the last 40 years working to extend the careers of over 3,000 professional, tactical, and industrial athletes, actors, members of special forces and operators, I recognized the importance of sleep quality,” said US Military Career Extension Specialist Mackie Shilstone. “It was when a former NFL client introduced me to the Majestic Sleep System – topper and pillow – that I had a first-hand experience in improved sleep quality. I then offered the same option to several of my professional and military clients with the same positive outcome – reduced lumbar discomfort, a feeling of refreshment upon awakening, and enhanced energy during work cycles. In my world, it’s all about results and performance.”
In the 18-month long study, which ended in November 2021, researchers utilized specialized watches and chest bands to measure the impact of nightly sleep on brain waves, heart rates, sleep stage durations, recovery time, and individual performance ratings on field training exercises. In the last three months of the study, the Fusion Toppers were distributed to one of the teams with the following results:
Deep sleep increased by 45 minutes
Average nightly rapid eye movement (REM) sleep increased by 30 minutes
Recovery times and performance scores in field training exercises improved such as shooting stages and training loads
Decrease in neck and cervical pain
Majestic Fusion Toppers’ patented technology creates a sleep surface ideal for superior spinal support and unrivaled pressure-relieving comfort, two factors essential to enhancing sleep quality and helping reduce pain associated with a veteran’s physical disabilities. The three-layered topper features a top Ergo Gel Layer made of pressure-relieving gel foam that absorbs up to 17°material. The second Ergo Transition Layer improves spinal stabilization for both back and side sleepers. The third Ergo Comfort Layer is a high-density gel memory foam that enhances both spinal stability and pressure-relieving comfort.
“The exclusive combination of patented technologies creates a sleep surface with superior spinal support and unrivaled, pressure relieving comfort needed to enhance sleep quality and help reduce pain associated with a veteran’s physical disabilities,” said Majestic Beds Founder Alan Martens.
Fusion II, a thinner Fusion deployment mattress topper is now being assessed with the final results due in March. This topper can be used on any existing barracks or naval mattress and creates a cooler sleep surface while promoting proper spinal support and adaptive comfort, regardless of body mass, for a more restorative night’s sleep. In addition, it compresses into an 11-inch diameter roll for deployments.
