A: Reduce pressure points with a high quality, innovative bed such as The Sleep Number® bed, which adjusts and conforms to you and your sleep position, providing more natural spinal alignment and fewer pressure points.
The physics of gravity play a role in how well you sleep at night. When you sleep, gravity and your body weight push you against the surface of your mattress. As soft tissue and muscles encounter a traditional metal-coil mattress, bodies give -- but the mattress does not. This can create uncomfortable pressure points and uneven support over time.
If you are a side sleeper, you may experience uncomfortable pressure points at your shoulder, arm, hips or side. Reduced blood circulation at those contact points with a firm mattress can give you a tingling or pins-and-needles feeling. Pressure points can affect the following:
- Sleeping comfort level
- Blood circulation
- Restorative sleep
- Aches & pains
