The Science of Pure Energy Mattress and CELLIANT® Technology
The Technology
By harnessing the energy of infrared light, the makers of CELLIANT fibre technology have created a breakthrough in sleep technology. Using the energy emitted from the human body, CELLIANT technology has been proven in multiple clinical studies to promote the natural healing process within the body, and help people get more restful sleep and live a healthier life.
CELLIANT technology works due to the unique ability of the fibre to absorb heat energy produced by the human body, and transform that energy into Far Infrared light (FIR). The fibres then evenly distribute the FIR energy throughout the body, where it penetrates deeply into muscles, tissues and the bloodstream in order to accelerate a person’s natural healing process. Within a CELLIANT fibre, there are thirteen thermally responsive materials that naturally attract a person’s body heat. When these fibres are woven into fabrics and placed in close proximity to a person’s body, they increase tissue oxygen levels, allowing for better circulation and enhanced recovery abilities. Below are listed a number of examples of the effectiveness of CELLIANT technology in improving the body’s recovery process that have been confirmed in clinical studies in universities and medical institutions across North America.
Benefits of Celliant
- Enhance tissue oxygen levels in the body up to *8.4%
(Long Beach VA Memorial Hospital) - Stimulate quicker recovery
- Heighten strength and athletic performance
(University of Calgary) - Balance body temperature
- Improve sleep quality

The present study has added to the body of evidence that suggest that IR-emitting garments can exert real measurable physiological effects, and deserve further study for medical indications.
Raw Ingredients of CELLIANT & The Manufacturing Process
What makes CELLIANT technology so effective in promoting the recovery process of the human body is the heat responsive materials that are incorporated directly into the fibres. When introduced to a fabric that is exposed to a person’s body, this one of a kind material works with the body to increase comfort and improve blood flow.
1. Minerals
Thermo-reactive minerals are selected. These include:
Titanium Dioxide
Silicon Dioxide
Aluminum Oxide
2. Processing
Converting the powdered minerals (shown above) into a fibre that can be added to the CELLIANT yarn.
CELLIANT Powder
Thermo-reactive minerals are ground and mixed into a fine powder.
CELLIANT Masterbatch
The CELLIANT powder is combined with liquid Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET).
CELLIANT Staple Fiber
A fine fibre is extracted from the masterbatch and prepared to be woven into yarn.
3. CELLIANT Yarn
The final stage of the process involves combining the staple fibre with the yarn and weaving it into the fabric of the mattress, sock, etc.

CELLIANT Properties
- Specifically formulated, worldwide patent-protected mineral compound.
- Micron-sized particles are embedded into fiber during extrusion. Average size of each CELLIANT particle is one micron.
- A permanent part of the fiber, lasting the life cycle of the material. The CELLIANT minerals never washout, meaning no special laundry instructions required.
- A human hair is between 40-120 microns.

How CELLIANT Works
CELLIANT Fibers are created from natural minerals and embedded into polyester fibres.
CELLIANT fibers absorb energy from the body.
CELLIANT converts the energy into a form usable by the body.
CELLIANT recycles this usable energy back to the body.
This recycled energy triggers natural chemical reactions in the body.
These reactions result in increased blood flow and oxygenation into the tissue.
The Studies
Below you will find nine separate clinical studies in which CELLIANT technology was proven to be effective in a number of different scenarios in which the fibres were applied to the body. These included using socks to improve circulation as well as determining the effectiveness of CELLIANT in terms of athletic recovery and performance:

Light
The Power of Infrared Light
Our bodies absorb energy from the sun on a daily basis in order to maintain our energy levels and keep us thriving down here on Earth. The same energy we absorb through our skin from the sun is distributed by CELLIANT fibres, which works in the same way towards the recovery of our tissue and muscles and improving our circulation on a cellular level. CELLIANT technology that distributes FIR energy throughout our bodies can help increase our energy, comfort, and get a more restful sleep.
Oxygen
Aerobic & Anaerobic Energy – Phosphagen, Glycolytic and Oxidative Phosphorylation Systems
For athletes, CELLIANT technology can be extremely beneficial, due to the fact that it can enhance the amount of energy our bodies naturally produce (in the form of ATP, or adenosine triphosphate) as well as reduce the amount of recovery time after physical activity. The three major energy systems that produce ATP known as the Phosphagen system, glycolytic system, and oxidative phosphorylation are all directly improved with the application of CELLIANT technology according to multiple clinical studies.
