Adjustable beds offer personalized comfort, improving sleep quality and alleviating various health problems. In particular, the Zero-Gravity position reduces pressure on the body, promotes blood circulation, and helps reduce snoring, sleep apnea and digestive disorders, for optimal daily well-being. Whether you simply want to go about your business in a comfortable position, reduce sleep-related health problems or enjoy a relaxing massage, the adjustable bed will provide you with an ergonomic sleeping position tailored to your needs.
In brief
Recommended by health professionals, the Zero Gravity position consists of lying with your back slightly tilted backwards and your legs raised so that they are higher than the rest of your body. This is the position adopted by NASA astronauts during take-off, enabling them to feel much less gravity. By evenly distributing the pressure acting on your body, i.e. on your back discs and muscles, among others, this posture is beneficial on several levels.
Alignment of back, heart and legs reduces pressure on the body by “equal” distribution. Pressure is significantly reduced, on spinal discs for example, which can then more easily decompress and regain their normal volume in this position. The imposed load in the standing or sitting position, predominant during the day, is thus considerably reduced.
The Zero gravity position improves circulation in lower limbs. Perhaps you are already in the habit of placing a pillow under your knees or feet to reduce leg pain, and numerous web site articles offer this as a solution. Very impractical, this solution requires unnecessary effort to be truly comfortable, not to mention the fact that pillows can move during the night. The electric bed allows you to position your legs exactly as you wish, and then modify the position in just a few clicks, thus relaxing your muscles.
Elevating the head of the bed promotes lung expansion, thus assisting with specific problems associated with oxygenizing, such as snoring and sleep apnoea.
Studies have also proven that the simple inclined position can help considerably in reducing problems such as heartburn and gastric reflux.
