1. Why Are Pillows the Most Used Solution?
During recovery, pillows are often chosen because they are:
- immediately available
- easy to move
- perceived as a gentle solution
- simple to adjust at the moment
They offer quick relief, but rarely durable.
2. What Problems Arise When Stacking Pillows?
Stacking pillows can lead to:
- an unstable position
- progressive sagging
- poor alignment of the back and neck
- tension in the shoulders
- frequent awakenings to readjust
Discomfort often returns after a few hours.
3. Why Do Pillows Poorly Support the Torso?
Pillows mainly support:
- the head
- sometimes the neck
But they often leave:
- the back without uniform support
- the torso misaligned
- the body off-balance
The posture becomes active instead of restful.
4. Why Does Instability Increase Discomfort?
An unstable position forces the body to:
- reposition regularly
- contract muscles to maintain itself
- remain vigilant
This constant tension enhances fatigue and discomfort.
5. What Makes a Posture Really Comfortable?
A comfortable posture must:
- support the entire torso
- remain stable over time
- allow movement without effort
- respect the body’s natural alignment
The coherence of the posture matters more than occasional adjustments.
6. Why Is Inclining the Mattress More Effective Than Pillows?
Inclining the mattress allows:
- uniform body support
- a maintained posture all night
- a reduction of pressure points
- fewer corrective movements
The body can truly relax.
7. How Does CosyLift Reduce Discomfort Without Pillows?
CosyLift slightly raises the top of the mattress in a stable manner, which:
- eliminates the need to stack pillows
- supports the torso uniformly
- maintains a comfortable posture
- reduces micro-adjustments
- improves comfort over time
It’s a simpler and more reliable solution than improvised stacks.
