Improved Health, Supportive Beds, Spinal Support, Correct Support Mattress, Melbourne, Australia

The mattress reacts to his ‘weight’ along the mattress and supports him like this:




But his actual body shape is like this:





Because his actual body ‘SHAPE’ Curve has to re-adjust and twist to fit the ‘WEIGHT’ Curve taken by the mattress, Stresses occur in his body and in particular his shoulders and spine

So – instead of ‘resting’ the body, the mattress is ‘stressing’ the body.
What is needed is a bed system that ‘corrects’ the ‘WEIGHT’ Curve (that the mattress shapes itself into) to be similar to that of the body’s actual ‘SHAPE’ Curve – like so:

To ensure the bed you select is just right for you and your partner and contours correctly, visit the pages titled Body Profile to obtain a short list of recommendations to suit your height, weight and shape profile and the existing health conditions that may be contributing to poor sleep.

Whatever material is used in the mattress to support the body reacts to “weight” – not “shape”.

So… for the mattress to support you correctly…your torso should be “heaviest” where you are wide or curve outwards (e.g. your shoulders, hips, bottom) and “lightest” where you are narrow or curve in (e.g. lower back).

But… if the “weight distribution” along your body lying down is NOT in proportion to your “shape” (and most people’s are not) then your shoulders will be twisted and your spine misaligned.

Beds for Backs can help you not only select the right bed for you but also provide a bed with the right support system for your partner, particularly if you are a different weight and shape. We have developed a testing procedure and friendly advice to show you which bed provides you the best posture in the sleeping position.
