How to Get Zero Gravity Position on Adjustable Bed

Many people don’t know this but you can actually get a zero gravity position on an adjustable bed. all you have to do is put the bed in the lowest position and then adjust the head of the bed until it is in line with your feet. 

Once you are in this position, you will be weightless and it will feel like you are floating in space. Here are some tips on how to get zero gravity position on adjustable bed:

Should you sleep in zero gravity position?

There is no definitive answer to this question, as it is ultimately a matter of personal preference. 

Some people find that sleeping in a zero gravity position helps to ease back and neck pain, while others find it more comfortable bed to sleep in a traditional position.

There is no wrong way to sleep on an adjustable bed, so experiment until you find the position that works best for you.

Zero gravity bed position benefits

The zero gravity position was first introduced by NASA in the 1960’s as a way to offset the effects of g-force on astronauts during take-off. 

As the name implies, this position puts your body into a state of “weightlessness,” which helps to evenly distribute your weight and ease pressure points.

There are many benefits to sleeping in the zero gravity position, including:

1. Back pain relief

Relief from back pain and pressure points: By redistributing your weight evenly, the zero gravity position takes pressure off your spine and other joints. This can help to relieve back pain and improve circulation. Perfect bed for the elderly!

2. Reduces Snoring

Reduced snoring: Sleeping in the zero gravity position can also help to reduce snoring by opening up your airway.

3. Improve digestion

Improved digestion: The zero gravity position can aid digestion by easing stomach acid reflux.

4. Superior Sleep Quality

Zero gravity offers many benefits, but its greatest may be better quality sleep. Increased comfort and ease, elimination of pressure points, and relief of pain allow a night of better quality sleep.

Having the ability to enter deep sleep and REM sleep helps the body replenish its cells and tissues. REM sleep allows the body to restore its cells and muscles. Snorers will also find more REM sleep in zero gravity since they have less difficulty breathing with their necks in a bent position.

What are the disadvantages of an adjustable bed?

There are several disadvantages of an adjustable bed. 

1. Pricey

One is that they are generally more expensive than a traditional bed. Another disadvantage is that they can be difficult to move and set up, so they are not always the most practical choice for people who move frequently or have small homes. 

2. Noisy

Adjustable beds also tend to be very loud or squeaky bed when they are adjusted, so they may not be the best choice for people who need to be able to sleep peacefully.

How to get zero gravity position on adjustable bed

Most adjustable beds will have a button or lever that when pressed will put the bed into a “zero gravity” position. This position is very similar to the position that astronauts are in when they are in space. 

The main reason for this position is to take all of the pressure off of your spine and your hips so that you can sleep more comfortably. 

Here are some tips on How to get zero gravity position on adjustable bed: 

Using NASA’s Zero Gravity Calculations Preset

NASA originally developed the zero-gravity position, also known as the neutral body posture (NBP), to support astronaut health during space flight. Today, we can consult NASA’s calculations[1] to set an adjustable bed frame to this position manually.

According to these calculations, you will need to adjust your bed to create a 128-degree angle between your torso and knees and a 133-degree angle between your upper and lower legs to achieve a neutral body posture.

Set the Upper Body Incline

In accordance with NASA recommendations, focus on the position of your legs and head in relation to your torso when adjusting the direction of your adjustable base. 

Raise your upper body at an optimal 30 degree angle if you don t have the optimal viewing angle for your adjustable base.

Raise the Legs Incline

Raise the adjustable legs to 30 degrees, and then bend your torso so that your knees are slightly above your heart and your thighs are at a 128-degree angle. Once your torso is positioned satisfactorily, relax your legs at 133 degrees.

Side sleeping in zero gravity position

This is a difficult question. If you have an adjustable bed, you may be able to find a comfortable side-sleeping position by trial and error. However, if you do not have an adjustable bed, you will probably not be able to find a comfortable side-sleeping position.

The best way to achieve the zero gravity position is to use a special sleep system designed for this purpose. TheZero Gravity Sleep System by Innova Health and Fitness is one such system. This system includes a mattress and pillow that are specially designed to provide optimal support and comfort for side sleepers.

Tempur-pedic zero gravity position

For the Tempur-Pedic line of adjustable beds, the zero gravity position is achieved by first placing the bed in the “flat” position. Once the bed is flat, you then adjust the head of the bed upwards until you reach the desired angle. For most people, the ideal angle is around 45 degrees.

To achieve a true zero gravity position, you will need to adjust the foot of the bed downwards until your legs are higher than your heart. This can be done by either using the remote control or by manually adjusting the bed.

Best pillow for zero gravity bed

There are three types of pillows that can help you maintain the ideal zero gravity position on your adjustable bed: Wedge, Memory Foam, and Down.

Wedge pillows are great for propping up your head and shoulders so you can sleep in a upright position. This prevents Acid Reflux and GERD by keeping stomach acids where they belong – in your stomach.

Memory foam pillows contour to your head and neck for proper support. This helps to keep your spine aligned while you sleep which leads to less tossing and turning throughout the night.

Down pillows are soft and fluffy, making them perfect for side sleepers. They help to fill in the gap between your head and shoulder, keeping your spine aligned.
