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 hack for your health:

• **Complete Pressure Relief:** The spinal column decompresses as gravity's pull is evenly spread, eliminating the pressure points that cause aches on a flat bed.
• **Optimal Circulation:** Elevating the legs above the heart helps blood flow more efficiently throughout the entire body, reducing swelling (edema) in the feet and ankles.
• **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 perfect, pressure-free alignment.

Health Benefits You Can Feel, Night After Night

While the comfort of Zero-Gravity is immediate, the health and wellness benefits accumulate over time. Our Adjustable Bases are specifically designed to address common sleep disrupters:

🛑 End Snoring & Improve Breathing

Lying flat often causes throat tissue to collapse, leading to snoring or symptoms of mild sleep apnea. By gently elevating the head, the Zero-Gravity position opens up your airways for clear, easy breathing. This means less snoring for you and your partner, and more oxygen to your body for recovery.

🔥 Alleviate Acid Reflux & Heartburn

For sufferers of GERD or nighttime heartburn, doctors often recommend sleeping with the head elevated. An adjustable base makes this easy and comfortable. Gravity keeps stomach acid where it belongs, preventing painful reflux that interrupts deep sleep cycles.

💪 Targeted Relief for Back and Joint Pain

If you suffer from chronic lower back or hip pain, the ability to fine-tune your position is life-changing. The Zero-Gravity position places the spine in its most neutral state, relieving tension on the lumbar discs and hip joints far more effectively than a static mattress.

Features that Deliver Luxury and Convenience

Our BT3000 and BT6500 Adjustable Bases are engineered not just for health, but for modern living, ensuring they complement our Black Diamond Mattresses and luxurious bamboo bedding.
