Since 1989, we have been producing orthopaedically and bioenergetically optimised sleep systems, pillows and duvets by hand from sustainably produced natural materials.
Our conviction: Healthy sleep is the most important source of physical and mental recovery. Our mission: to turn your night's sleep into a holistic regeneration phase for body and mind with our system.
How it all began
There is one name above all others behind the success story of SAMINA: Günther W. Amann-Jennson. For 13 years, he ran a psychological practice in Feldkirch, Vorarlberg. His speciality: sleep psychology. He saw sleep as an indicator of a patient's well-being. His experience in practice showed him that patients who had psychological problems usually also slept badly. Günther W. Amann-Jennson therefore decided to improve his patients' sleep and utilise it therapeutically. To this end, he developed a holistic "healthy sleep concept" and built the first prototype of our sleep system.
The way to a family business
After optimising the prototype, natural materials were selected, procurement organised and the manufacturing process defined. The revolution was that it was no longer the mattress but the slatted frame that was considered the most important element of the bed, as well as the layered construction modelled on the human body.
Elisabeth Amann, a trained textile specialist and wife of the founder, invested her savings as start-up capital and took over production management in the company's first own sewing workshop.
Genuine craftsmanship and highest quality
All the materials we use for our products are subject to the highest quality standards. We rely on the power of nature and gentle, handcrafted processing in order to optimally utilise the valuable properties of the materials.

Our milestones
1988
The origin
Günther W. Amann-Jennson ran a psychological healing practice in Feldkirch in Vorarlberg for 13 years. He saw sleep as an indicator of the patient's state of health. He therefore decided to improve his patients' sleep and utilise it therapeutically. To this end, he developed a holistic "sleep-healthy concept" to optimise sleep quality and built a sleep system prototype.
1989
Prototype
As no company wanted to adopt his concept for cost reasons, he founded SAMINA, and in the following year Günther worked with his wife Elisabeth on optimising the prototype. It was clear from the outset that only natural materials should be used and this motto is still adhered to today. Little by little, the first version of the sleeping system was created.
1998
Commitment to sports
Sport has always played a major role for SAMINA. SAMINA has been a sponsor of VEU Feldkirch since 1991. In 1998, the team made ice hockey history by winning the European League. Sleep is said to have played an important role here too.
2000
Family business
The second generation of the founding family becomes fully involved in the business.
2004
Lokosana®
The Lokosana® earthing pad is being further developed and is now a registered medical product. The night-time body earthing brings the positive effects of barefoot walking into the the sleeping area and thus enables even more regenerative sleep.
2011
Gravitas inclined sleeping
The SAMINA inclined sleeping concept Gravitas is born. The "sleeping in an inclined position" activates gravitational stimuli, which promote sleep, detoxification of the body and brain as well as physical, mental and emotional regeneration.
2019
Drinks
With SAMINA Drinks, we have developed a natural micronutrient cure that supports the circadian rhythm. SAMINA Morning favours waking up and becoming awake. SAMINA Night supports falling asleep and staying asleep.
2021
Recovery Center
The first SAMINA Recovery Centre opens in Frastanz. Visitors can enjoy various treatments here, such as red light therapy or a cryochamber to further improve their regeneration during the day.
2023
Philipp takes the lead
Philipp Amann takes over the management of SAMINA and is looking forward with his team to future projects in the field of regeneration.
In over 30 years, we have delighted 300,000 customers with our healthy sleep products - including many prominent sleepers. Since the first deliveries in April 1989, we have received almost nothing but positive feedback. And we still put our heart and soul into our work for you every day.
