Best Zero Gravity Mattresses that work In Zero-G

What is a zero gravity mattress?

The term “zero gravity mattress” does not refer to a mattress. It refers to an adjustable bed that can do the zero gravity position. If you are lying on a flat bed, your whole body forms a 180-degree angle. With the zero gravity position, your upper body is raised. Your thighs are also raised, with your knees slightly bent. Thus, your head and knee line are slightly above your heart. In effect, your torso and thighs form an angle of about 120 degrees. The position gets its name because it takes pressure or “weight” off your lower back. So it feels like a bit like your weightless, hence the name, “zero gravity”

Zero Gravity Bed 

There are adjustable beds that features the zero gravity position.   All you need to do is press a button for the bed to assume the position. There are two ways for you to have a zero gravity bed. The first is getting an adjustable bed that is programmed with the zero gravity position. The bed would have a remote or an app that has a button for it to change into the zero gravity position. The second is having an adjustable bed where you can program the position. You just need to raise the head part by 45 to 60 degrees from the horizontal. Then raise the feet part to about hear level.

FAQ

Are there zero gravity mattresses?

No, because the term “zero gravity” refers to an adjustable bed. The bed bends the mattress to assume the zero gravity position. An adjustable mattress cannot assume the zero gravity position without an adjustable bed.

Who invented the zero gravity position?

NASA originally created the zero gravity position for astronauts before take-off. The position equalizes their weight. So at take-off the astronauts feel less stress on their bodies as they launch into space.

Can you program zero gravity on a bed?

Yes. If the adjustable bed is programmable, the position can be programmed into it. You adjust the bed manually and save the position (if it can be saved). Simply, raise the head and raise the feet to the heart level. The angle between your torso and thighs should be about 120 degrees.
