30 Years of
Recovery Research
Dr.Friend has spent decades exploring the environments and conditions that help the human body recover naturally.
Our journey has been driven by one question: "How can we support the body's own ability to restore balance?"
The Recovery Architecture
Dr.Friend designs recovery environments through the integration of carefully selected
natural materials, thermal balance, grounding technology, comfort engineering, and wellness-centered design.
Recovery Environment → Grounding → Natural Materials
→ Comfort Engineering → Sleep Ecosystem
Thousands of Stories, One Purpose
Every individual experiences recovery differently.
The countless stories shared with Dr.Friend over the years continue to inspire
our pursuit of better recovery environments.
From Korea to the World
Dr.Friend is expanding globally through international exhibitions, partnerships,
research collaborations, and wellness communities.

2. Sleep Improvement Study for Individuals Experiencing Insomnia
Advances in Integrative Medicine (2025.3)
- Scientifically demonstrated the effectiveness of grounding mats
as a non-pharmacological approach to improving sleep.
- Clinical trial results showed significant improvements in sleep quality and stress-related indicators, along with increased serotonin levels.
- Suggested the potential of non-drug sleep interventions and their broader application in preventive healthcare.
3. Sleep Quality Improvement Study (2024 TOP VIEW PAPER)
International Journal of Molecular Sciences (2024.10)
- Suggested the potential of grounding mats to support improved sleep quality.
