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.
COMFORT: What does my body NEED the bed to do?
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.
SUPPORT: What Weight and Shape are you?
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.
DURABILITY: What's in a 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.
PARTNERS: What does my body NEED the bed to do when sharing my bed with my partner?
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.
