1. Why Does the Semi-Sitting Position Become Quickly Fatiguing?
The semi-sitting position may seem natural at first, but over time, it can cause:
- lower back pain
- neck tension
- rounded shoulders
- arm fatigue
- a feeling of sinking into the bed
This mainly occurs because support isn’t even when using only pillows.
2. Why Do Pillows Make the Position Unstable?
Pillows:
- compress under weight
- gradually slide
- create uneven angles
- require frequent repositioning
- don’t support the entire spine
Result: the longer you stay in this posture, the more the body tires.
3. How Does a Gentle Incline of the Mattress Improve Comfort?
When the mattress is slightly elevated:
- the back is evenly supported
- the torso stays aligned
- shoulders naturally open
- muscles don’t need to compensate
- it’s possible to stay in the position longer without discomfort
This posture is ideal for nursing, reading times, recovery, or extended periods in bed.
4. What Angle Is the Most Comfortable for Long Durations?
An angle between 10 and 20 degrees is generally optimal for:
- supporting the back
- reducing tension
- avoiding sagging
- maintaining smooth breathing
- staying comfortable for several hours
This inclination respects the natural curve of the body.
5. How Does CosyLift Help Stay Comfortable Over Time?
CosyLift elevates the mattress gently and stably, which:
- ensures uniform support for the torso
- reduces fatigue of back muscles
- prevents sliding down the bed
- eliminates the need to reposition pillows
- facilitates calm activities: nursing, reading, watching videos, resting
It’s an ideal solution for times when comfort must last.
6. What Accessories Can Complement This Posture?
For maximum comfort:
- a pillow under the knees to relax the lower back
- a nursing pillow to support arms and baby
- a light blanket to maintain relaxation
- a small neck pillow if needed
But the base remains the correct angle of the mattress.
7. Is It Also Useful During Long Evenings in Bed?
Yes.
Many women use this posture not only for nursing or pregnancy but also for:
- reading
- watching a series
- using their phone or tablet
- resting after a tiring day
Well-supported posture improves rest quality and reduces accumulated muscle pain.
