WHEN BACK PAIN AND SLEEP PROBLEMS ARISE - Tips for dealing
with pain and air bed mattress support.

BACK PAIN AIR BED
MATTRESS RELIEF
Back pain is the most prevalent
medical disorder in industrialized societies, affecting at
least 80% of American adults at some time during their
lives. One in every 50 American workers suffers a back
injury and low back pain disables 5.4 million Americans each
year. It is estimated that over $80 billion is spent on back
pain each year.
People who suffer from sleep
disorders like insomnia often fall asleep faster and into the deeper restful REM
sleep stages longer on an adjustable air bed mattress. Simply let your body's
natural HEAT AND WEIGHT cause the viscous celled memory foam topper to "COPY
YOUR PERSONAL BODY SHAPE AS YOU MOVE DURING THE NIGHT".
The personal cost is all too familiar to
back pain sufferers. While most people with back pain (70%)
recover in less than two weeks, some last longer. However,
back pain can return and worsen. The more severe the pain,
the more likely it is to interfere with sleep.
A recent
study found that about two-thirds of patients with chronic
back pain suffered sleep trouble. This same study suggests
that disrupted sleep seems to make the pain feel worse. Some
pain medication, such as analgesics, may alter sleep
patterns and make sleeping more difficult.

WHEN PAIN AND SLEEP PROBLEMS ARISE
When you can't sleep and your head
aches or your back hurts, you are also likely to lose a lot
of sleep. In fact, 20% of American adults (42 million
people) report that pain or physical discomfort disrupts
their sleep a few nights a week or more.
For people with aching backs when
they get up in the morning an adjustable
air bed mattress is a dream come true.
The combination of spinal alignment and the comfort of your body contouring into
the visco memory cell foam top is "as good as it gets."
That was the
finding of a 2000 National Sleep Foundation (NSF) Sleep
in America poll. Yet many people don't recognize how
large the problem is. Nor do they consider the possible
consequences, which may include difficulty maintaining
alertness, lack of energy, impaired mood, and trouble
handling stress.
Lack of sleep, so often due to pain or
discomfort, can also put you at risk for injury, poor health
and accidents.

MANAGING PAIN & SLEEP PROBLEMS
WITH AIRBED MATTRESSES
Practicing healthy sleep habits can
help improve the quantity and quality of your sleep.
Changing your mattress to our adjustable firmness contouring
capable air bed mattress is the first step to a good night's
sleep.
That's why sleeping on a push button
controller style adjustable air bed mattress with a memory foam top padding is
like resting on an adjustable cloud. You simply push a button to adjust the
AIRBEDS firmness level until it feels PERFECT for BOTH sleeping partners.
Pain is often considered one of the
most poorly treated health problems in America. Sleep
problems and disorders are often not recognized or treated
properly either. However, medication that appropriately
addresses both the pain and sleep problem, exercise and
psychological approaches may help.
|
The
psychological methods include:
- learning to relax your muscles
and free your mind of stress (relaxation training).
- learning to control specific
body functions involved in headaches or other sources of
pain, such as temperature or muscle tension
(biofeedback).
- therapies that focus on
changing your way of thinking about the pain experienced
(cognitive therapy) or changing the behavior or
attitudes related to the pain (behavioral therapy).
These approaches take time and
practice with a specialist. However, these methods have no
known side effects, drug interactions, or concerns about
long-term use. In fact, there may be more long-term
benefits. The same holds true for switching to the new
adjustable air bed - which can only help you find that
perfect spinal aligning firmness level for YOUR BODY.
|
You have a constant
back ache so you go to your doctor. He tells you to throw out your
mattress and get yourself a new one - he may have recommended an
adjustable air bed mattress with memory foam.
|
Now comes the hardest part - which is choosing a new
air bed mattress that
you will both find comfortable AND give you BOTH the desired back
support you need. However, that job has just been made a whole lot
easier thanks to knowing just what the doctor ordered - and today many
doctors are telling their patients to try our MAGICLOUD Premium Quality adjustable firmness air
bed mattress with visco elastic back supportive MEMORY FOAM comfort
padding. |
When it comes to choosing mattresses, doctors, chiropractors and
orthopedists have several things to say.
Most will tell you to sleep on a firm mattress in an attempt to keep
your spinal column "straight", but what exactly is firm.
After all, firm is a subjective term and what one person calls firm, you
may call "why bother," because it feels more like sleeping on the floor
anyway.
Imagine in your mind sleeping on
a totally adjustable air bed mattress memory foam topper pad - with your
personal push-button controller in your hand - and within seconds feel
the incredible MAGIC CLOUD of comfort with it's contouring full body
support. Our air bed literally adjusts to your exact size and your
favorite sleep position using your body's HEAT & WEIGHT to perfectly
mold the memory foam padded pillowtop into your body and back -
PERFECTLY. Remember - the most important two features of any mattress is
COMFORT plus BACK SUPPORT. |
Surveys amongst orthopedists show that the majority recommend medium to
firm mattresses over firm. This is because if the sleep surface is too
hard, it can cause uncomfortable pressure points at the shoulder, hip,
and knee. This pressure can aggravate arthritis and even cause
deterioration of the joints over time. And many people want a mattress
that "feels comfortable", too - often with couples each preferring a
completely DIFFERENT "firmness". |
This
is probably why the new adjustable air bed with visco elastic memory
foam layers built in under the pillowtop are so popular these days. With
the touch of a button BOTH partners can adjust their side of the bed's
firmness level exactly perfect for their body while maintaining the
crucial back support airbed mattresses and memory foam offers. |
To
reduce the firmness of existing mattresses, you can place a layer of
visco memory foam padding on top. Most doctors recommend that this padding be one and a
half to two inches thick. It can be the higher quality
memory foam or the more economical but less supportive layers of
material such as cotton, wool or down. Of course, adding the adjustable
air bed mattresses ability to straighten out your spinal area at the
touch of a button with this incredibly supportive memory foam top
padding is as close to perfect as an mattress in the world. |
Doctors will also recommend that you make sure your support system is
adequate. Whether it is inner spring, air or memory foam, the core is
where the support for your back is located. Once it begins to wear out,
you are left without the support that will guarantee the proper
alignment of your spine.
This is probably another reason the new air
bed is so popular. The air chambers don't contain "springs" that can
lose their support after a few years. And the best air bed with memory
foam comfort layers retain the original shape for many years due to the visco elastic memory foam's ability to "return to normal" instead of
developing 'body shaped depressions' after years of sleeping in the same
spot. |
Improper support can let your back sway out of position and result in
bulging or herniated disks. These problems cause a large percent of the
back surgeries performed. Don't take that chance. Make sure the support
system of your mattress is in good shape. We highly recommend your new
air bed has inner SLING SUPPORTS that hold the air pressure in place and
protects your expensive outer pillowtops stitching and zippers from air
pressure damage. |
Once you have chosen the right
air bed mattress, you will want to take proper
care of it. Use a good mattress pad or moisture proof cover - like the
high quality HERCULES memory foam cover. Also, be
sure to rotate your sleep set often if you still have the innerspring type
mattress to minimize 'body depression areas'. This will allow for a more
even wear and prevent the sagging effect. Rotate your air bed zippered
pillowtop from top to
bottom and clockwise for the most even wear about twice a year. |
When
it comes to selecting a mattress, take your doctor's advice. Make sure
you have enough support but also enough padding. Also choose materials
that will breathe and allow you to sleep cooler. The MAGICLOUD air bed
has been constructed with this in mind. |
There are many causes of back problems, and different back conditions may
respond better to specific types of beds, mattresses and sleep positions.
There is a high degree of personal preference for mattresses, and what works
well for one person may not work well for another.
Unfortunately, many
mattresses with springs and padded top comfort layering will literally 'deform'
over time due to body weight eventually causing springs or padding to
permanently compress. These indentations can cause even more back problems as
the crucial body lumbar region becomes "sunken".
Just one more reason why the air bed
mattress will stay straight for many years - there are no springs or
cheaply made pads to wear down into "body shaped depressions". |
Fortunately, the new technology
advancements in air bed mattresses and the NASA Space Agency designed 'visco memory
foam' combination airbed mattresses have solved many of these problems because they don't rely on inner
springs for support. |

WHAT YOU CAN DO TO GET GOOD SLEEP
Practicing healthy sleep habits can
help improve the quantity and quality of your sleep.
Changing your mattress to our adjustable firmness contouring
capable air bed mattress is the first step to a good night's
sleep.
Below are more proven methods to help you
and your partner develop life patterns that - when combined with our body
forming air bed mattress - will add even more ways to a DEEP REM SLEEP.
|
Steps to Better Sleep:
- Establish a relaxing bedtime
routine such as listening to soft music or taking a warm
bath. Avoid alerting activities before bedtime.
- Avoid heavy meals or feeling
hungry before bed. A light, healthy snack is best.
- Create a conducive environment
that is cool, quiet and dark.
- Go to sleep at the same time
every night and awaken at the same time each morning.
- Avoid caffeinated drinks
(coffees, teas, cola drinks, etc.) and foods (chocolate)
in the afternoon and in the evening.
- Find a
mattress that is comfortable for YOU - but not so FIRM
that it creates "pressure points" on your body causing
you to 'toss and turn' all night - preventing a DEEP REM
(Rapid Eye Movement) Sleep - this is the sleep stage
that allows your body and mind to get the MAXIMUM rest.
- Avoid the regular use of
alcoholic drinks to help you sleep.
- Avoid or give up smoking.
Nicotine, like caffeine, makes you more alert, but can
lead to fragmented sleep.
- Exercise regularly, but not
within three hours of bedtime. A gentle, preferably
supervised, aerobic fitness program (e.g. walking,
aquafit, stationary bicycle) carried out on a regular
basis is very helpful for improving the quality of sleep
and controlling muscles aching.
- Use the
air bed only for sleep and
sex. Try a visco memory foam mattress that allows your
body's heat and pressure to create a temporary but "perfect body
impression" in the mattress allowing you to achieve your
maximum comfort level without cutting off blood flow at
your hips, shoulders and leg areas. These new adjustable
air bed mattresses
were invented from a NASA Space Agency material designed
for "deep space sleep" and spread your body's weight
across the mattress preventing your blood flow into the
outer layers of your skin to flow uninterrupted.
- Get out of bed if you can't
fall asleep within 15 minutes.
- Avoid regular naps. If you
need to take a nap, do so by mid-afternoon and for 15-30
minutes only.
- Find a
mattress that gives extra support to the lumbar region
of your back and sides if you're a 'side sleeper'. With
so many Americans suffering from backaches today -
allowing your spinal column to relax and get extra
support at night can prove to be the difference between
feeling better or worse during the day. The air bed has
a push-button firmness controller for each side of the
bed.
- When these approaches don't
help, or when the sleep and pain problems don't go away,
it may be time to try medications. You should talk to
your doctor before using any sleep drugs - even those
sold "over the counter" - which are not designed for
'long-term use'.
