1. Why can a simple incline make a difference?
You don’t need to be fully upright to feel relief.
A slight incline is often enough because:
- gravity starts to work again
- stomach contents are better contained
- pressure on the esophagus decreases
- reflux occurrences become less frequent
The body remains in a resting position but in better alignment.
2. What is the difference between “sitting up” and “being slightly elevated”?
Sitting up:
- engages muscles
- is not comfortable for sleeping
- prevents full relaxation
Being slightly elevated:
- maintains a sleep posture
- supports the upper body effortlessly
- allows you to stay relaxed
- promotes continuous sleep
It’s an intermediate position, designed for nighttime.
3. How does this position affect reflux?
With the upper body slightly raised:
- gastric juices are less likely to rise
- throat irritation is reduced
- the burning sensation is often less intense
- frequent micro-awakenings are reduced
The posture acts preventively throughout the night.
4. Why is this position often more comfortable than pillows?
Stacking pillows can:
- create an unstable angle
- bend the neck instead of supporting the torso
- sag during the night
- cause neck tension
A mattress incline supports the entire upper body more uniformly.
5. What angle is generally sufficient to reduce discomfort?
In most cases, a gentle incline:
- without forcing posture
- without blocking movements
- without creating pressure
is sufficient to improve comfort.
It’s more about accompanying the body than constraint.
6. Why is the continuity of the position important?
For the effect to be real:
- the posture must be maintained all night
- it should not collapse over time
- it must remain comfortable even when moving
It’s the consistency that helps limit nighttime discomfort.
7. How does CosyLift help maintain this position all night?
CosyLift slightly raises the top of the mattress steadily, which:
- creates a consistent incline
- supports the torso without pressure points
- avoids the use of unstable pillows
- allows angle adjustment as needed
- promotes a more peaceful sleep
The posture becomes natural and sustainable.
