Query: Zero Gravity sleep position with adjustable bed

Post by JimW159 » Fri Aug 25, 2017 2:07 pm

Has anyone had experience using the Zero Gravity position setting with an adjustable bed? While I have found no specific corollary with it and apnea nor with any positive effects with xPAP usage, I am hoping someone may point me to something that may help my understanding. The manufacturer of the bed I ordered provided this:

Zero gravity is simply a setting on the adjustable bed remote. We have used an adjustable bed or the last 11 years and are very happy with it. With our bed, that position places your feet higher than your head. The position is fairly comfortable, but I prefer to have my head higher than my feet. I stayed in bed for three weeks in the zero gravity position after foot surgery a few years ago. We got the bed because we both have back problems, and we have found it to be very comfortable sleeping on it. It is quite similar to sleeping in a recliner, but you have more control of how high your feet or head is.

looks like a sales term for an adjustable bed

those are good in some ways
if you sleep better with less pain or discomfort that would help your RDI if not the AHI

you might be able to sleep on your side but it seems as if that would be awkward if you had back problems

for sure with the zero gravity chair you cannot sleep on your side
but it is great for sleeping on your back and goes way back so your legs are raised some - sort of like a recliner
indeed - the ad says it is a recliner in bed size so you dont have to sleep in the living room by the TV set
Which model do you have? Figure you must have one to give advice about it. Or did you just read the ads?

bought the chair at walmart

for the bed i read the ad for the one the OPer was buying
it says it is a recliner (only wider )
the picture confirms that
WOW! If so, it's the biggest darn chair I'll ever own: in fact it is a king size bed (76 inches wide by 80 inches long) consisting of two twin XL bases joined side by side to allow fully independent articulation. The standard designation for this configuration is a "split king" bed.
