Sleep is essential for everybody - especially for those who live an active lifestyle. At MOLECULE, we develop products to help people rest and recover during the night so they can maximize their performance during the day. But unlike most sleep brands, we don’t just create products with an attractive cover, a slick marketing message, and a promise of generic comfort - we help people get the right type of recovery-focused sleep through advanced materials and decades of research.

Air Engineered™

Every product at MOLECULE is designed to maximize airflow and facilitate cooling. Our research and development team, working in conjunction with our engineers and Medical Advisory board, select materials, invent production processes, and develop designs to create sleep products that efficiently transfer heat away from the body - an important factor to getting the most restorative sleep possible. The result? Meticulously engineered products that optimize sleep and recovery.

Backed by science

Cool sleep isn’t just a buzzword to us. It’s a guiding principle.

One of the most important factors that can influence the quality and duration of your body’s recovery during sleep is an adequate drop in your core body temperature. Our body’s thermoregulation is less efficient during sleep, so external controllable factors that affect temperature - such as the products you sleep on - are essential.

Our team includes renowned Sleep Doctors and Neurologists with decades of research and experience who understand the mechanisms of recovery-focused sleep and help guide our product development.

What is the right type of sleep?

In any given night of sleep, your body typically goes through four distinct stages of sleep. One stage in particular, Slow Wave Sleep, is the most restorative stage for your body.

The importance of slow wave sleep

During this most restorative stage of sleep (which typically represents 25% of the night), the following recovery-focused functions occur:

Getting sufficient Slow Wave Sleep is critical for anyone who wants to maximize their body recovery and performance.

ELEVATED RECOVERY. REDUCED IMPACT.

The same science we bring to advancements in sleep, we bring to emissions — with climate targets validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).

  • By 2032, we plan to reduce direct operational emissions and emissions from purchased electricity by 50%.
  • 78% of our suppliers’ targets are aligned with climate science and consistent with limiting global warming to 1.5°C by 2029.

These targets are set at the parent-company level and have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). MOLECULE® is covered under these science-based targets.
