When sleeping, lying on the back causes the low back to flatten to the mattress causing spine flexion. Many people with back pain have flexion-triggered pain – making back sleeping painful. Pain while sleeping during the night will increase your sensitivity to more pain during the day. Eliminating pain while lying at night will help wind down your pain sensitivity the next day.

Recently, this same air bladder technology has been shown to reduce disc stress while sleeping. This resulted in the “PropAIR sleeper” which  can increase back comfort in bed.

TAKE THE TEST

Place your hands palms down under your low back while lying. If comfort is increased, then the support provided by the PropAIR will enhance your sleeping comfort. Certain back conditions like stenosis and spondylolisthesis will not be helped with the PropAIR.

Others will find relief while lying on side by placing the PropAIR between the ribcage and hip to avoid painful side bending.

The hand activated air pump will tune in the optimal level of support for any mattress, or spine shape. The plush velour material against the person and the silk material interface with the bed sheets facilitates easy sliding and turning.
