What if your best workout took place while you were asleep?
This idea may seem far-fetched, but modern science proves that the passive night-time recovery is no longer a futuristic concept. From patented technology to clinical studies, discover how to transform your nights into real sessions of muscular and cardiovascular regeneration.
Spoiler alert: it's not a dream, it's science.
Sleep, that underestimated secret weapon
A third of your life dedicated to performance
Sleep represents about 33% of our days and our lives. Far from being wasted time, these nocturnal hours are crucial for growth, brain maturation, and the development and preservation of our cognitive capacities. What's more, resting our cardiovascular system is one of the major preventive challenges of the years to come.
The figures are clear: poor quality sleep has a direct impact on :
- Speed and muscular strength
- Alertness and reaction times
- Decision-making and creativity
- Learning and memory
- Mental health
- The risk of injury
Scientific studies show that insufficient sleep promotes weight gain and obesity, and significantly increases cardiovascular risk. For athletes, it's even more critical: sleep deprivation can reduce performance by 10 to 30%.
The IAKOTA saying that changes everything
"There's no such thing as overtraining, only under-recovery".
This philosophy revolutionizes the traditional approach to training. Rather than always trying to do more, what if the key lay in optimizing our recovery?
The passive recovery revolution: science meets innovation
Patented Minoxis technology: a revolutionary dual mechanism
Developed in collaboration with athletes like Kilian Jornet and scientific, medical and textile experts, the Minoxis technology represents the world's first self-active recovery concept.
This patented technology is based on two complementary scientific principles:
1. Endogenous infrared reflection
Infrared rays naturally emitted by the human body (wavelengths between 3 and 20 microns) are captured and sent back to the body. This mechanism stimulates :
- Blood microcirculation
- Muscle relaxation
- Tissue oxygenation
- Elimination of metabolic waste
2. Grounding
By reproducing the natural phenomenon of electrostatic discharge via a ground connection, this technology contributes to :
- Balancing the autonomic nervous system
- Reducing oxidative stasis
- Harmonizing the body's electrical charges
Why "passive" doesn't mean "inefficient
Unlike traditional recovery methods (massage, ice baths, compression), passive stimulation works during natural sleepwithout disrupting rest cycles. Documented benefits include :
Accelerated tissue healing

Reduced muscle pain

Numerical proof: the study that changes everything
Rigorous scientific protocol at CNEA Font-Romeu
The effectiveness of the IAKOTA mattress topper has been validated by a pilot study carried out in France. Center National d'Entraînement en Altitude (CNEA) at Font-Romeurecognized by the French National Sports Agency.
Spectacular results for muscle recovery
- Concentric strength: 99.66% recovery at 48h (almost back to baseline)
- Eccentric force: 97.37% recovery at 48h
These results testify to a remarkable recovery allowing athletes to regain almost all their initial muscular capacities, particularly important for muscles most in demand during endurance.
Remarkable optimization of cardiovascular parameters
Resting heart rate (change in % compared with initial values at 48h)
IAKOTA
-7.71% (improved cardiac relaxation)
-7.71% (improved cardiac relaxation)
PLACEBO
+6.89% (maintenance of cardiovascular stress)
+6.89% (maintenance of cardiovascular stress)
CLOTHES
-3.43% (slight improvement)
-3.43% (slight improvement)
48h Heart Rate Variability - High Frequency (HF)
Key indicator of parasympathetic activity and recovery:
IAKOTA
+59.54% (significant stimulation of the parasympathetic system)
+59.54% (significant stimulation of the parasympathetic system)
PLACEBO
- 86,28% (collapse of parasympathetic activity)
- 86,28% (collapse of parasympathetic activity)
CLOTHES
-63.23% (significant deterioration)
- 63.23% (significant deterioration)
RMSSD at 48h (Root Mean Square of Successive Differences)
Marker of cardiac variability and autonomic nervous system adaptation:
IAKOTA
+10.55% (improvement exceeding initial values)
+10.55% (improvement exceeding initial values)
PLACEBO
- 42.03% (severe degradation)
- 42.03% (severe degradation)
CLOTHES
- 14.05% (moderate degradation)
- 14.05% (moderate degradation)
The difference is striking IAKOTA is the only condition to maintain positive values for all cardiovascular parameters, demonstrating optimal recovery of the autonomic nervous system.
Objective improvement in sleep quality
Spiegel questionnaire measurements show steady improvement in sleep quality with the IAKOTA mattress topper, while the placebo and regular conditions show gradual deterioration.
In the words of champions: first-hand accounts
These testimonies confirm the scientific data: the effects are perceptible from the very first nights of use.
Measure the effects with your connected watch
Heart Rate Variability (HRV), easily measured with any connected watch (COROS APEX 2 Pro, Apple Watch, Garmin, etc.), becomes your objective indicator of improvement. Users generally report:
- Increase in VFC score from week one
- Lower nocturnal heart rate
- Improved recovery score on sports applications
- Increase in objectively measured deep sleep time
Beyond sport: who can benefit?
Professionals under pressure
Managers, caregivers, law enforcement officers... all those exposed to chronic stress can optimize their nocturnal recovery and resilience.
Students and professionals
Improving sleep quality directly boosts cognitive capacity, memory and concentration.
Vitality-conscious seniors
Maintaining good cardiac variability and restful sleep is a documented factor in longevity.
People in convalescence
Stimulating healing and reducing inflammation accelerate the healing process.
Conclusion: a winning strategy, not a simple dream
The science is clear: using a recovery mattress topper at night is not a dream of optimization, but a reality. strategy based on concrete evidence. With a near-total return of muscular capacity at 48 hours, the maintenance of positive parasympathetic activity and unanimous testimonials from top athletes, Minoxis technology is redefining recovery standards.
In a world where every detail counts for performance, where sleep accounts for a third of our existence, why not turn these hours into a real competitive advantage?
Your next night could be your best performance investment.
