You're pretty normal really. You go to work, pick up the kids from school, and socialize
with family and friends. You live your life well and are pretty healthy really,
no aches and pains. You feel fine and want to keep it that way. But just because
you don't feel back pain doesn't mean you're being supported with correct posture.
Just as you take care of your health, to help minimise problems later on you also
need to look after you spine, and not just during the day. While sleeping, your
back needs to recover from the constant pressure of gravity and the wear and tear
of the every day – your muscles need to relax and discs need relief, so that they
can decompress and stay hydrated, healthy and flexible, able to perform their correct
function of cushioning the bones along your spine.
To make sure you give your back the best chance for optimum health, you need to
support the spine in the position that medical experts agree is best – in the zero-stress
position experienced in correct standing posture. But how can you do this when a
bed reacts to weight and not shape? Having a choice between soft, medium and firm
beds just isn't enough, and only gives half the story – comfort. To get the most
out of your sleep time you also need support:
By varying the support along the bed to match your body's different combinations
of wide/heavy, wide/light and narrow/light, we at Beds for Backs can help you to
experience the healthy zero-stress posture. Drop in for a chat with one of our consultants,
who'll discuss your needs. Then you'll be well on your way to a truly restful night's
sleep – with less stress, better weight management, higher immunity and the better
overall health benefits that come with good-quality body rest.
