1. Why do many people turn to medications first?

When facing reflux, medications are often chosen because they:

• are easily accessible
• promise quick relief
• seem simple to use
• are part of common recommendations

They can help, but they do not address all the factors involved.

2. What medications cannot change

Even when they reduce acidity, medications:

• do not change the body’s position
• do not utilize gravity
• do not prevent mechanical reflux
• do not act on nighttime posture

Reflux can therefore persist, especially at night.

3. Why is nighttime reflux primarily a positional problem?

At night, reflux is often linked to:

• prolonged lying position
• lack of gravity to aid digestion
• duration of esophageal exposure
• postural stability

It’s as much a mechanical context as a digestive one.

4. How does upper body elevation act differently?

By slightly raising the upper body:

• gravity helps keep stomach contents down
• pressure on the esophagus decreases
• reflux is less frequent
• irritation progresses less during the night

This action is continuous as long as the posture is maintained.

5. Why are posture and other approaches complementary?

Upper body elevation:

• does not exclude other solutions
• acts throughout the night
• does not depend on metabolism
• adds no strain on the body

It complements other approaches by acting on a often neglected factor.

6. Why is postural regularity essential?

To be effective, the elevation should:

• be maintained all night
• remain stable despite movements
• support the entire torso
• remain comfortable over time

Without regularity, the effect diminishes quickly.

7. How does CosyLift easily integrate this approach?

CosyLift allows to slightly raise the mattress top stably, which:

• supports an effective posture against nighttime reflux
• acts all night effortlessly
• avoids temporary solutions
• easily integrates into routine
• improves overall sleep comfort

It’s a simple and sustainable posture-based approach.

FAQs

Q: Are medications useless against nighttime reflux?

No, but they do not act on posture.

Q: Can posture be combined with other solutions?

Yes, approaches are complementary.

Q: Is a slight elevation really sufficient?

Yes, gravity does not need a significant angle to help.

Q: Is it suitable for daily use?

Yes, especially when reflux is recurrent at night.

Q: Is it a natural approach?

Yes, it is based solely on body position.
