About us
Imagine waking up tomorrow and everything feels lighter. Not because the world has changed, but because you’ve had a truly good night’s sleep.
The long search
The night shapes the day.
Poor sleep takes its toll gradually. In everyday life, you first notice it in the little things. Decisions become harder. Conversations take more energy. Your patience wears thin sooner. For many people, the search for good sleep has been long and often ended in disappointment. We’re changing that.
How it all began
Founded in a physiotherapy room in Vienna.
From 2013: Marvin Till works at the Proschlaf bedding shop, the forerunner of all sleep ergonomics centers. Advice there is based on the findings of the Proschlaf Institute. Marvin also supports customers after their purchase, adjusts their mattresses and sees how much of a difference it makes.
A physiotherapy perspective: His childhood friend Ilyas Merl and his wife Astrid are physiotherapists and have been involved from the beginning. They bring what they see in their work every day: no two backs are alike, and even two people of the same height and weight lie in completely different ways. The first sleep and lying advice sessions take place in the physiotherapy room of a small practice in Vienna.
2019: Sleep research and physiotherapy come together to create somyaTEQ. Today, Ilyas Merl leads the company. Marvin Till supports us as an advisor and helps train our sleep advisors.
“For us, good sleep starts with people and their bodies, not with products. Our evidence-based approach leads to an emotional result: the moment you realise how good it can feel to lie comfortably.”
Four pillars of expertise
Our most important tool: expertise.
We look at your body from the different perspectives of sleep researchers, orthopaedic specialists, ergonomists and physiotherapists. Not because we like to make things complicated, but because no single field gives us the whole picture. We develop solutions, not empty promises.
Expert advice.
When you speak with us, you’ll meet people who genuinely care about how you lie. Our team is made up not of salespeople, but of certified sleep advisors who know our mattresses, system and manufacturing inside out.
Sleep expertise.
For us, sleep quality is more than an individual perception. We draw on more than 30 years of sleep research at the Proschlaf Institute. This research shapes both our products and the training of our sleep advisors.
Understanding your body.
Good sleep starts with the specific needs of your individual body. That’s why we get to know it and measure it. We take objective measurements instead of making assumptions.
Product expertise.
Our products aren’t standard items where you simply choose your preferred size. They are sleep solutions made for your body based on objective measurement data.
Proschlaf® Institute
It started with the body.
The Proschlaf® Institute in Salzburg is our partner in research, training and technology. For more than 30 years, it has studied how the body behaves during sleep, how pressure and pressure relief affect circulation, how lying positions fragment sleep phases, and how the body’s needs change at different stages of life.
Research: Medical professionals, sleep researchers and physiotherapists work together to understand what the body needs during sleep.
Training: Every sleep advisor at somyaTEQ is certified by the Proschlaf Institute.
Technology: From the sleep ergonomics simulator to Original StemPad Technology, the methods used in our mattresses come from the Institute.
We’re happy to take time during your consultation to explain the science. Otherwise, it’s simple: you sleep. We make sure you can sleep as well as possible.
