We spend a large percentage of our time in bed so it is important to make sure the
bed we sleep on supports us in a way that allows our body to rest and revitalise.
For your body to "rest" properly
it must be supported in its "at rest", "natural shape" position. Therefore it is
necessary for you to be able to adjust the level of support to suit your individual
body weight and shape.
It is apparent that people vary greatly in body weight and shape. Current mattresses
only recognise weight, so where you are heaviest (in the lower torso) you will sink
into the bed more. Because your shoulders and hips are wider than your heaviest
part they act as "bridging points" further contributing to poor posture. The ONLY
solution is for a bed system that can be tailored to suit your individual weight
and shape profile and that of your partner, on EACH side of the bed.
The right support system will depend on your size, weight and body shape so it is
important to take the time and receive the best advice. The comfort layers also
contribute to the right bed system. As they are a 'feel' component you will be the
best judge of the level of comfort that best suits you…but don't forget the importance
of 'correct' support.
When selecting the right bed it is important to consider what the
Health Professionals
say. Their point is quite clear…For your body to "rest" properly it must be supported
in its "at rest", "natural shape" position. That is – no stresses in muscles and
joints, lumbar curve intact, spine straight and correctly aligned. This simply means
that the bed MUST contour to your body's individual shape. But because people vary
in size, weight and body shape your bed should be made to suit your
individual profile...
just like buying clothes.
