Episode notes
Essentia's Origins
- Jack Dell'Accio started Essentia after a family member was diagnosed with cancer, inspiring him to create a clean, supportive sleep environment.
- He researched how to produce organic latex foam that offers pressure redistribution and pain relief, which led to developing an innovative mattress.
Toxins Block Restorative Sleep
- Toxins and allergens in mattresses stimulate the central nervous system and stop deep and REM sleep.
- This is similar to taking sleeping pills: you feel knocked out but don't get true restorative sleep.
Focus on REM and Deep Sleep
- The key to good sleep is maximizing REM and deep sleep, which varies by individual.
- Prioritize quality REM/deep sleep over total hours, aiming for about 7-8 hours for most to achieve this naturally.
