What Are Specialty Sleep Surfaces?
Research shows that Specialty
Sleep surfaces reduce pressure points and
provide contouring support for correct spine
alignment, resulting in improved sleep
quality and comfort. Pressure points cause
pain, stiffness and unhealthy alignment of
the spine.
Specialty sleep surfaces, whether they be
air, adjustable, flotation, latex or foam
beds, reduce pressure points by contouring
your body while providing support for
correct spine alignment and distributing
your body weight evenly. By minimizing the
pressure on your body, you greatly reduce
tossing and turning, increase blood
circulation, and enjoy a deep, soothing
sleep.
Choosing the right bed is a highly personal
decision. The best bed for you is one that
is comfortable … one that provides the
cushioning and support that allows you to
get the best night’s sleep.
Specialty Sleep
options include:
-
Adjustable Beds:
Adjustable beds feature a motorized
mechanism to adjust the head and foot
position. They allow you to precisely
adjust the amount of elevation,
releasing tension in your back muscles
as well as your legs, hips, shoulders
and neck … minimizing pressure, stress
or strain on your body.
-
Air Beds:
Air beds are much like traditional
innerspring beds in outward appearance,
but air beds are crafted from a series
of air chambers rather than springs.
With the touch of a hand-held control,
the bed is customized to your comfort
preference - plush to firm - based on
the level of air pressure in each
chamber.
-
Flotation Beds
(Water Beds): The waterbeds of today … known
as “flotation” systems … bear little
resemblance the free-flowing waterbeds
of the past, but they retain the
benefits of a fluid sleep surface. Most
flotation beds look just like a
traditional innerspring mattress and can
be used with regular bedroom furniture.
-
Latex Beds:
Latex is a flexible, resilient foam. By
gently conforming to every contour of
the body, latex provides superior back
support and outstanding pressure relief.
Derived from the rubber tree, latex is
inherently anti-microbial and dust mite
resistant, making it perfect for allergy
sufferers. In addition, latex is
breathable, so it is warmer in the
winter and cooler in the summer.
-
Visco Foam:
Visco-elastic beds are created with
special temperature-sensitive foam,
allowing the mattress to contour to your
body in response to the warmth of sleep.
Visco is also a breathable material,
allowing air to circulate around your
body. In addition, it can help reduce
allergens such as dust mites, mold and
mildew.
Combination Beds:
Along with the mattress types
listed above,
many Specialty
Sleep models combine various technologies to
create unique surface feels and support
mechanisms, providing consumers with an even
broader array of sleep support choices. |
