The small vertebrae in the neck are very sensitive. If the head is not sufficiently supported, this can often lead to neck pain and stiffness. It can even be a cause of headaches.

When lying on your side, the very pronounced profile of the shoulders has to be compensated for. If that is not possible, the shoulders experience pressure on account of their unnatural position. And as a result, the neck and head also have to lie higher than they should.

The lumbar is hollow and must be filled so that the muscles can better support the backbone. This applies both when lying on your side and your back.

The shape of the hips also has to be compensated for in bed. Otherwise there is increased pressure on the hips and the lumbar would not then be supported. When that happens, the body looks for another position, which leads to you sleeping restlessly.

Your legs get smaller as you go from your hips to your feet. So on a flat bed, they lie too low down. The pelvis and backbone adopt a poor position. The blood circulation is also disrupted, which leads to the legs finding it hard to relax properly.

Head and neck supported.

The jut of the shoulders can be compensated for so that the head and neck are positioned correctly.

The curve of the lumbar is filled because the backbone is given the correct amount of support.

The pelvis has enough space, which removes any pressure. The lower back can then also lie in the correct position.

Because the legs are higher, the pelvis is in a natural position and so the backbone stays straight. The muscles in the legs, and the blood vessels also enjoy maximum relaxation, which promotes the circulation.
