One part of air mattresses are solid foam side rails. A good quality air bed also contains air valves and industrial polyurethane air cylinders. These air chambers lock the air to provide a firm support to your body and yet they make a very comfortable mattress. The best thing about an air mattress is that you can control the air pressure and hence the firmness of the mattress according to your comfort, something which can not be done with other traditional mattresses.

So if it is made up of air chambers it can puncture really easily, right? Not at all! An air bed mattress has a foam layer on the top and a cover which improves the comfort and prevents it from getting punctured. Also, the seams of air cylinders are radio frequency sealed (RF welded), which is ten times stronger than rubber or vinyl. Hence these mattresses are very reliable and useful in day to day use. A quality air mattress has dual chambers that can be can be adjusted on both sides. For more information about Natural Form’s dual adjustable mattress, visit the products section.

Air beds are an advanced form of sleeping mattresses. Most people think that all mattresses are the same. Not true! The difference lies in the technology. An air bed has air chambers inside it. These chambers absorb or release air depending upon the type of your body and the way of your sleeping. These air beds adjust themselves according to the body and exert uniform pressure. This results in a healthy and comfortable sleep that recharges and refreshes you really well.

Another important benefit of using air beds is spinal support. Since these mattresses exert uniform pressure, the spinal cord gets good support from the mattress. This ensures that you do not have any back aches or stiff joints when you wake up. On the other hand the traditional spring mattresses may prolong back pain, neck pains and cause spinal problems over the years. Traditional mattresses can cause these problems due to improper distribution of body weight on the mattress.

Hence sleeping on an air bed can improve the way you sleep for better. A good sleep is very important for every living being as it relaxes the body and prepares it to carry out the next day’s work with efficiency. Air beds can help you get a healthy and refreshing sleep every day.

The following are the benefits of air bed:

• A great benefit of an air bed mattress is that it allows firmness adjustment, as per our comfort.
• Adjustable air bed mattress reduces pressure points on the body, by distributing body weight more evenly than a spring bed or memory foam.
• Many doctors recommend air bed mattresses to individuals with bad backs, as air mattresses are known to help cure back, neck aches, stiff joints, spinal cord problems.
• Air bed mattresses are also helpful to people with sleep disorders.
• Driven by self adjusting technology, this is by far the latest and most modern piece of technology in the sleep science area. Old mattresses exert uneven pressure on our body which can create back aches, neck problems and in some cases it may even cause insomnia.

Air Bed - Chambers

Due to these advantages of air bed mattresses, they have become very popular in the recent past and are being used world wide. Some of the popular chain of hotels and hospitals use adjustable air beds because of the comfort and health benefits associated with air beds mattresses.

On the one hand, your height, weight and body size will determine what mattress will provide the best comfort for you.  On the other hand, the dimensions of your bedroom and the style of your home’s interiors provide another set of criteria for your mattress’s size.

Make a mistake, and you’ll suffer restless nights, or even serious discomfort.  But the correct mattress can provide a blissful eight hours of rest each night and bring an air of restful, harmonious comfort to your bedroom’s décor.

Twin Mattress

Some interiors have limited space, and some sleepers are smaller than others! A twin size mattress may be the right solution for a child’s room with bunk beds or a loft bed, making the most of a tight interior.  Twin mattress size can also be a good solution for a daybed in a multi-use room, guest room, or playroom.  A typical twin size mattress length is 75 inches; width varies from 35 to 39 inches.

Queen Mattress

A Queen size mattress is a nice compromise for smaller master bedrooms.  Still spacious enough to provide comfortable sleep, even for two sleepers, this size fits almost any master bedroom with room to spare.  If you are tall, the additional 5 inches of length gives a queen size bed a major advantage over a full-size.

King Mattress

If you share your bed, a king size mattress may be the best choice for you.  The extra space can make the difference between a good night’s sleep and a great night’s sleep.  You can enjoy the luxury of having plenty of room to stretch out, extra pillows, and a variety of sleep positions without disturbing your mate.

You might want to consider testing the mattress you choose. After all, the size may look right, but you won’t be looking at it — you’ll be sleeping in your bed every night!  Just in case you do change your mind or find that the mattress you chose isn’t quite right for you, Natural Form Sleep System mattresses come with a 20-year warranty.

Sleep can refresh, recharge and relax the body.  Getting adequate rest means that stress and fatigue are cleansed away, leaving your body relaxed and your mind clear and energized, ready to face the challenges of life. 

Because unrelieved stress can lead to illness, it’s essential for your health to make getting a good night’s sleep a priority every day.  Investing in the best mattress is an important first step toward achieving that goal.

Many people today spend the majority of their workday seated in front of a computer.  Even with a comfortable office chair and good posture, a day spent seated results in back strain.  And if your daily commute to and from that office chair is spent driving, or even riding a bus or train, you may be compounding that back strain on a daily basis. 

Add a bad mattress into the mix, and the most important nerves in your body — housed in your spine — are at risk every day!

Back pain is more than just a nuisance.  If ignored, it can lead to serious health problems.  If you suffer from back pain, a good mattress can be your first step on the road to recovery — and for those whose backs are pain-free, a good mattress can be your best defense to ensure that you stay that way.

A good mattress supports your spine to relieve back pain while helping the muscles of the back relax, so that you get a good night’s rest.   Natural Form Sleep System mattresses are used in medical facilities and are available direct to the consumer. These sleep systems are clinically tested and may help to alleviate back pain.

You spend up to 30% of your time in bed.  It only makes sense to invest in a good mattress. A good night’s sleep may be the best cure for stress, strain, and back pain.

Doctors know this, which is why constant research and development in the area of sleeping systems is always a top priority in medical science.  Improving the way we sleep means improving every area of life.

The result of that constant research is Natural Form Sleep System’s Self Adjusting Technology (SAT).  The self-adjusting mattress features an air suspension system with a unique intake and release valve, harnessing the ambient air as an abundant resource of free energy.

SAT features a unique air suspension system that creates a zero-pressure, oxygen-rich sleeping environment — ideal conditions for a good night’s sleep. Originally developed with the goal of providing a healthy sleeping environment for bedridden patients, the Self-Adjusting Mattress provides a host of benefits to patients suffering from skeletal, degenerative and sleep disorders.

The technology results in a surface that adjusts to each individual, regardless of body size and weight. This breakthrough technology is clinically proven and is being used right now in health care facilities around the world.  Mattresses equipped with Self Adjusting Technology represent the top of the line in patient care, a potent defense against bedsores and an aid to comfort and sleep.

The technology is now available to individuals for use in their homes to ensure the benefits a sound and restful sleep can provide.  Studies have shown that a good night’s sleep helps the body recover from the effects of stress, allowing the body to better recover from such common conditions as back pain and sports injuries and even more serious complaints, including spinal disorders, sleep disorders, and degenerative diseases.

Moreover, a sound sleep has a significant preventive effect, supporting the immune system and allowing you to fight disease more efficiently.  You’ll see improvements in every area of your health and life!

While it’s generally not serious enough to warrant medical intervention, even a mild case of snoring can result in restless nights and loss of sleep, both for the snorer and his or her loved ones.  And if snoring is allowed to go untreated, it can worsen to the point that it contributes to major health issues.   

Luckily there are simple steps you can take to ameliorate snoring or even alleviate it altogether.  Treatment begins with identifying the cause of the snoring.

Closed-mouth snoring usually indicates a problem with the positioning of the tongue in the oral cavity.

Open-mouth snoring can be a temporary problem resulting from inflammation of the throat and nasal cavity, sometimes due to illness or allergies.

Relaxed-throat snoring occurs when sleeping on the back, which causes throat muscles to slacken and close, obstructing proper flow of air.

If you snore no matter what position you sleep in, your snoring is classified as severe, and may affect your health if not treated promptly.

Luckily, all these causes of snoring can be addressed through simple home remedies.  A poor quality mattress is a major culprit in the vast majority of snoring cases.  An inferior mattress can lead to poor sleep posture, allergic reactions, and obstructed breathing, as well as worsened snoring. 

In contrast, a good quality Natural Form Sleep System with adjustable features supports the muscles of the neck and back.  This facilitates proper sleep posture and correct positioning of the neck and throat, which can ameliorate a snoring problem immediately. 

Whether your snoring is mild or acute, the right mattress can help!  Hence, it can be concluded that a good quality adjustable bed can help develop good sleeping postures for a person getting rid of snoring and disturbed sleep.

In its initial stages, sleep apnea seems innocuous.  Early symptoms such as loud snoring are often dismissed as harmless or merely inconvenient. But even at this stage, your body is missing the rest and oxygen you need to feel healthy and enjoy your waking hours.  

And since, by definition, sleep apnea manifests itself during sleep, sufferers are unable to evaluate their symptoms — they are literally unconscious of the disease as it progresses and worsens.  They may not even realize they are suffering from this dangerous disorder until it is too late. 

Sleep apnea can be disruptive, inconvenient and dangerous.  But with proper management, it doesn’t have to keep you from getting a good night’s sleep.

The most important step is identifying sleep apnea.  There are two major types:

Obstructive Sleep Apnea, in which the intake of air through the nose and mouth is obstructed during sleep.

Central Sleep Apnea, a disorder of the central nervous system in which the brain sends miscues to the body during sleep, causing the natural process of breathing to be disrupted or delayed.  Both types result in disturbed sleep and oxygen deficiency.

Management of Sleep Apnea:

• Get plenty of rest. Maintain regular sleeping hours, and invest in a good clinically-proven medical-grade mattress from Natural Form Sleep System.
• Avoid alcohol and tobacco, particularly before bedtime.  These substances have a sedative effect, relaxing throat muscles and encouraging loud snoring.
• Maintain correct sleep posture. Sleeping flat on the back promotes snoring.  Side sleepers breath more easily and enjoy a comfortable rest.
• Keep nasal passages open.  Nasal sprays and other remedies available over the counter can help.

Natural Form Sleep System can be a valuable ally in combating the disruptive effects of this common disorder.  Follow the simple tips described above, and you’ll soon be enjoying all the health benefits that a good night’s rest can provide.

So how does one get the best night’s sleep?  First, improve your daytime activities. Exercise not only keeps the mind and body sound, but it helps to develop good sleep habits, too.  For example, a 30 minute exercise session stimulates body muscles, which results in an increase in body temperature. Thus, after a sudden pause of exercise activity, the temperature level of the body drops and results in stress and a desire to rest. This enables us to sleep well and on time.

Second, it’s important to be comfortable while you sleep.  Sleeping on a mattress that provides maximum comfort is vital in recharging your body and mind during sleep. Air beds, for instance, provide an unparalleled pressure-reducing support system that is guaranteed to provide years of trouble-free sleep. Natural Form’s unique 8-Zone Personal Spinal Alignment air bed technology provides the correct orthopedic support for each sleeper’s body size, shape and weight.

The bed should be large enough to provide yourself with extra spacing to toss and turn while asleep.

Time is another important part of the equation.  We’ve all hear the phrase “early to bed, early to rise – makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise,” and it is essential to sleep on a fixed schedule daily. This can be done by keeping a regular bedtime schedule.

Another factor in a good night’s sleep is napping.  It is medically proved that a minimum of 6 hours sleep is required by the body.  But did you know that sometimes a nap can interfere with sleeping habits?  One should try to eliminate short naps in late afternoons as they led to late night waking disturbing the routine.

Yet another factor – silence – should prevail in the room before sleeping. Noise or hustle and bustle can create a fuss which may disrupt sleep. Stimulants, alcohol and tobacco products should be avoided for several hours before going to bed.

A good quality air mattress is very important in this context because not having one can result in severe back aches and cramps.

Hospital beds – obviously – play a vital role in this context.  Therefore, having a relaxing, soft and good-quality mattress is one of the foremost concerns of every hospital. Unlike most home beds, hospital adjustable beds give maximum support to back and neck, are excellently furnished, and protect against bed sores.  In the United States, a comfortable hospital bed is almost always an adjustable bed mattress.

Hospital beds are specially designed such that they adjust to accommodate the patient. The adjustable bed meets all of the patient’s needs without disrupting or stressing the body’s movements. There are different varieties of hospital adjustable beds ranging from manual to electric, depending upon their requirements in different departments of hospitals. These beds provide extensive comfort because they tend to release the pressures and strain of the body by relaxing the muscles.

Good-quality relaxing adjustable bed mattresses help lead to rapid recovery of the patients. An electric bed can enable the patient himself to control bed properties such as height and head adjustment with the help of a remote control. This minimizes the disturbance of the patient and enables him to adjust the bed to his own comfort level. If a person is confined to a single bed he must be provided with a feasible, safe and cheerful environment to avoid irritation.

Few common types of hospital beds are discussed below:

Adjustable Folding Bed

These types of beds release pressure exerted on the spinal cord. Generally, these beds provide good comfort for the patients.

Semi Fowler

These are also known as plain beds and are used in general wards.  This type of bed does not offer specific features.

ICU Nursing Bed

ICU Nursing Bed is used in ICU ward for emergency situations thus it has all features in it ranging from manual to electric.

Hence, it can be concluded that hospital beds are extremely comfortable due to their adjustable bed mattress qualities, which help ensure rapid recovery of the patient.

The Natural Form Sleep System is hospital tested and clinically proven. Its Self Conforming Technology delivers a unique pressure free sleep experience, even more advanced than the praised adjustable hospital beds.
