When sitting, it's easy to fall into the trap of having poor posture. You're so
busy working that you slouch without even realising it, especially if there's no
lumbar support in your chair, or you find yourself hunched over the keyboard, phone
or steering wheel for hours on end. To counteract the stress that you place on your
spine and neck as you sit there crouched up, stressed, not really moving a great
deal, you need to support the spine in the position that medical experts agree is
most beneficial – in the zero-stress position experienced in correct standing posture.
During the day, the cushiony discs between your spinal bones start to feel the weight
of gravity and compress with your slouching, squishing the jelly-like fluid that
usually keeps your spine healthy and hydrated. You need to give your body the best
chance to reverse this effect and rejuvenate overnight by keeping the spine in the
zero-stress position that medical experts agree is best. But how can you do this
when a bed reacts to weight and not shape?
At
Beds for Backs, we can help. By varying the support along the bed to match your
body's different combinations of wide/heavy, wide/light and narrow/light, you can
get the comfort and support you need to help you experience the zero-stress posture,
which is best for recovery. What's more, we can show you a bed that will give you
better support:
