Never thought I’d adopt ground sleeping but after about 2 months of exhaustion, feeling constantly compressed, resurfaced back & hip pain, deep depression, easily stressed & anxious, & trying absolutely everything to fix all of these symptoms, something finally clicked. My mattress was the problem.

Sleeping on a soft mattress was sabotaging my airways and skeletal structure every night.

Think about it, you spend somewhere around 8 hours on your bed daily.

I really love my linen sheets & bed frame though, so I got creative and used a box spring & wooden boards to bring the feeling of the ground to a higher level. Topped it off with my @zonlihome mattress & here are the results after just a week & a half:

- waking up fully alert with energy all day
- waking up decompressed; back, hip, neck, & jaw tension dissolved
- depression & brain fog are gone
- handling stress more easily
- excited to go to sleep every night & also to wake up every morning
- more aligned & muscular*

*this was the most unexpected result 🤯

Can’t recommend ground sleeping enough. All you really need is a floor and a @zonlihome mattress. Exclusive discount w/ code alikathryn10 to try it out 🧡
