About Brian Kachinsky & Zoma
Brian Kachinsky, a professional BMX rider and X Games competitor, sleeps on the Zoma Hybrid. After two decades of riding, recovery is what keeps him in the sport, and he uses Zoma's hybrid, 12-inch, medium-feel mattress built with Reactiv responsive foam over pocketed coils. Kachinsky points to the breathable cover and the focused edge support as the features he notices most, and he says he now wakes up feeling rested and recovered rather than sore. The pocketed coils add support and airflow that an all-foam bed cannot match, which suits a rider managing the wear of a long career. Every Zoma mattress is CertiPUR-US certified, built in the United States, and backed by a 100-night trial with free shipping, free returns, and a 10-year warranty.
Fifty countries' worth of jet lag taught Brian what most riders learn late — deep sleep is trainable.
