Understand Mattress Performance & Why Our Mattresses  Work

SUPPORT AND ALIGNMENT IN THREE DIMENSIONS
Your back should be free from sagging and twisting while you sleep. Maintaining torsional alignment in which the spine is not twisted or turned is more important to comfortable, pain-free sleep than simply maintaining a straight spine.Our spines can rotate and twist and misalignment of the spine during sleep can lead to muscular skeletal stress, muscular stiffness, and back pain in the morning.

Torsional alignment also impacts our oxygen intake,
a key factor to a healthy night’s sleep.
U.S. mattresses don’t FIX THE TWIST

The support (or construction) of most mattresses is the same head to foot, yet most bodies need varying support head to foot. This is why we say most mattresses offer 2D support. Targeted support (3D Support) allows you to make a mattress softer by the hips and shoulders while adding support to the lower back and knees.

THE DESIGN SLEEP SOLUTION:

TARGETED BACK & KNEE SUPPORT

At Design Sleep, we understand that three-dimensional support is a critical factor in mattress performance. Our flexible mattress provides an elastic surface that contours to fit your body, minimizing pressure at the shoulders and hips while supporting the curves at your waist and back. Our adjustable slat system allows us to create an even greater depth of contour, with modifiable TARGETED LOWER BACK SUPPORT and knee lift. When your body is properly supported without strain, you can breathe more deeply, increasing your oxygen intake. For full-body alignment, our new Oxygen Pillow provides the support your head and neck require for deeper breathing—and a more restful night’s sleep.

HUMIDITY AFFECTS HEART RATE

As the body’s metabolism works throughout the night, perspiration is released as water vapor. Synthetic bedding and foam in mattresses trap and hold this moisture because air can’t circulate. As body heat and moisture build up, your heart rate increases, which elevates blood pressure and causes shallower sleep. At a time when you should be resting, your heart isn’t. You may awaken in a sweat, unable to return to sleep, or you may wake up in the morning feeling like you didn’t get enough sleep; And you lacked the deeper delta sleep cycle that contributes to good health.

HUMIDITY IS LINKED TO ALLERGIES

Because synthetic bedding environments are more humid and can take a long time to dry out, they provide the perfect climate for mold, mildew, and dust mites to thrive, all of which affect breathing and allergies.

THE DESIGN SLEEP SOLUTION

Our system components reduce humidity. Mattress covers are 100% cotton with a highly breathable lining of pure, lightweight wool. Wool conducts moisture away from the body, allows air to circulate, and evaporates water vapor. And our coils and micro-coils provide constant airflow. Together, these components make for deeper, healthier, and drier sleep.

UNDER PRESSURE

Beyond simply causing discomfort, the pressure that most mattresses exert against your shoulders and hips can rob your body of much-needed rest and rejuvenation. Pressure-point stress at weight-bearing areas of the body can also impair circulation, disrupt cellular respiration, increase your heart rate, raise blood pressure, and cause restlessness that leads to shallow sleep. Additionally, most U.S. mattresses have pressure ratings at or above levels that can cause circulatory problems to develop

THE DESIGN SLEEP SYSTEM

Design Sleep mattresses are designed to reduce pressure from the top down. Our stretch cotton mattress cover, elastic natural latex foam, and independent coils combine to create a uniquely comfortable surface with dramatically reduced pressure ratings that are well below those of conventional mattresses. And we don’t stop there. Our flexible, adjustable slat systems yield at weight-bearing points, providing greater give and increased pressure reduction. Our stretch cotton mattress pad protects your mattress without adding surface tension. It all adds up to lower contact pressure, improved circulation, and lower blood pressure for deeper, more restorative sleep.

HOW DEEP I BREATHE is as important as WHAT I am Breathing

Breathing is the most important factor for quality sleep. Full oxygen intake restores our bodies, enabling us to awaken refreshed. Shallow breathing reduces the depth of sleep. Dramatically reduced breathing due to snoring or sleep apnea can result in serious health issues, including an increased risk of stroke and cardiovascular problems.

SLEEPING POSTURE AFFECTS OXYGEN INTAKE

As we sleep, we naturally position ourselves in ways that allow us to breathe and swallow. We’ll often sacrifice a comfortable posture to achieve a deep breath. Some common adaptations include propping the head up with an arm and stacking or folding pillows.

For optimal oxygen intake, the body must lie in a supported,”open” position. Poor posture will restrict the airway and reduce full lung capacity. These posture problems can dramatically reduce your quality of sleep and increase the incidence of breathing disorders, such as snoring or sleep apnea.

THE DESIGN SLEEP SOLUTION

Our mattress system is designed to provide stability, support, and comfort. It accommodates the curves of hips and shoulders to encourage optimal torsional and lateral spinal alignment. By promoting a neutral posture free from strain, deeper breathing can be attained for a more restful, restorative night’s sleep.
To help maintain a breathable environment, we also offer a full line of natural bedding. Our Oxygen Pillow is designed to increase air intake, and our stretch cotton mattress pads, organic cotton sheets, and wool-filled comforters are Eco-Tex certified to be environmentally safe.
