For decades, the search for perfect rest was confined to finding the right mattress firmness. Today, cutting-edge Adjustable Bases have revolutionized sleep, allowing you to fine-tune your body's support and unlock a state of near-weightlessness known as Zero-Gravity. At Bamboo Is Better, our BT-Series Adjustable Bases make this restorative position a one-touch reality, transforming your sleep from restorative to revolutionary.

What is the Zero-Gravity Position? (And Why Did NASA Invent It?)

The Zero-Gravity position was first developed by NASA to minimize the stress and strain placed on astronauts’ bodies during the intense forces of a rocket launch. By positioning the head and legs slightly above the heart—with the torso and thighs at a comfortable 120-degree angle—the body's weight is perfectly distributed.

This simple angle is a powerful comfort upgrade:

• Pressure-Free Comfort: The spine settles into a neutral position as your weight is spread evenly, easing the pressure points that cause aches on a flat bed.
• A Position That Feels Good: Elevating the legs is a position many sleepers simply find more comfortable, especially after a long day on their feet.
• Enhanced Relaxation: This neutral body posture is the position your body naturally assumes when fully relaxed, leading to faster, deeper sleep initiation.

Tip: The Zero-Gravity preset on your Bamboo Is Better adjustable base instantly moves you to this comfortable, pressure-free alignment.

Comfort You Can Feel, Night After Night

While the comfort of Zero-Gravity is immediate, the more you use it the more you settle into it. Our Adjustable Bases are designed to help with common sleep frustrations:

💤 More Comfortable, Open Breathing

Lying flat is a position many people find makes breathing feel less open — and some notice more snoring. By gently elevating the head, the Zero-Gravity position helps you find a more open, comfortable position for the night. That can mean a calmer, quieter night for you and your partner.

🔥 A More Comfortable Position After Eating

Many people find lying completely flat uncomfortable after a late meal. An adjustable base makes a gently elevated upper-body position easy and comfortable, and a slight elevation is a position a lot of sleepers prefer when winding down. If you have a specific health concern, ask your doctor what position is right for you.

💪 A More Comfortable Position for Back and Joints

If a flat mattress leaves your lower back or hips feeling stiff, the ability to fine-tune your position is a game-changer. The Zero-Gravity position settles the spine into its most neutral state, easing tension on the lower back and hips far more comfortably than a static mattress.
